Perhaps it was a bad day at work for this airport baggage handler... although that is no excuse.
A video is doing the rounds on social media in which a woman is seen taking bags off the luggage carousel and roughly throwing them on the ground.

According to Times Live, BidAir Services at OR Tambo International Airport suspended the employee for "mishandling luggage".
Spokesperson for the airport, Samukelo Khambule, said that after the video surfaced they engaged BidAir regarding its employee's behaviour. BidAir had identified the baggage handler and suspended her with immediate effect. The woman would also face disciplinary action.
Khambule further told Times Live that there are many professional employees who work for various companies in the airport ecosystem."It’s therefore disconcerting when an employee falls short of the standards of the service level agreement that we have with companies performing licensed activities within the airport," he added.
