The video was originally shared by the customer involved in the altercation, but has since been deleted.
The clip was reposted by a social media user @uhlayseuh.
In the video, which begins midway through the altercation, Korinn – who sells balloons and toys from a cart – is visibly frustrated with guests and tries to help another visitor from another group.
She asks the customers on the other side of her to move to another cart, to which an off-screen man replies, “Just do me a favor, mind the attitude, okay?” Watch the attitude or I’ll destroy it all,” referring to the products on the shopping cart.
“You can bust it, bust it, please bust it,” Korinn replies.
Then he adds, “Don’t play with me.”
“You can go to another cart,” Korinn adds.
Soon after, one of the customers can be heard calling the worker “hood,” to which she replies, “Yes, I’m a real hood,” adding that she was from New Orleans.

After the clip went viral, Korinn shared her side in a TikTok.
She revealed that she was fired for her behavior after the altercation.
According to Korinn, the altercation took place at 9:45 p.m., just 15 minutes before the park was due to close.
She revealed that while leaving the park she was stopped by another family. Since she was already helping one family, she agreed to help the other family when she was done.
When one of the children of the second family started taking things from the cart, Korinn asked her to please put it away by calling her “my friend.”
However, the family accused the employee of taking their child’s toys.
Korinn claimed the guest said she should get a better job, while the employee added that it was part of an “internship.”

After feeling uncomfortable, she asked the guest to move to another cart.
“I’m buying from this cart,” said the guest.

She explained that her family had raised her in the suburbs, and reiterated that she had let her frustrations take over.
