The Internet is still buzzing over a viral video that shows a teenage Starbucks employee body slamming a juvenile who attempted to run off with the tip jar.

The incident occurred about 3 weeks ago. The video shows the 17-year-old employee watching calmly from behind the counter as 2 juveniles run out of the store empty handed.

But when a 3rd child grabbed his tip jar and tried to flee the store, the employee sprang into action.

In one smooth motion, the employee lifted the kid off his feet, retrieved the tip jar with his left hand, and body slammed the kid before returning behind the counter with his tip jar like a true boss.

The child hopped up and ran screaming from the store, apparently unhurt except for his feelings.

The video was viewed nearly 3 million times on Twitter.com.

The teenager took to his Twitter page to explain that he did not lose his job over the incident. He said the three kids had previously stolen the tip jar and he wasn’t about to lose his tips again.

“This is the original video of me recording the footage,” @atlasssc wrote, “the kids stole the tip jar two days prior and got away with it, i was working when they tried a second time. Yes I still have my job and yes the police have seen the video… officer garthe shook my hand and said ‘ya did what was right, kid’.”

Twitter users praised the teen’s quick thinking. But others were more interested in his shoulder length red curls.

Men and women asked him about his hair care regimen.
