LEHIGH ACRES, Fla.- You'll catch ads and ways to save money at the pump on the Facebook page called Lehigh Shell LLC.

You will also find a video of a woman hitting another woman inside the store. The video is caught on a cell phone camera!

"I think it's sickening. I don't think any mother would want to see it or hear it," said Lynda Keith, mother. 

Lynda Keith is the mother of the 20-year-old who got slapped in the video. One of her friends told her the video was posted on the convenience store's Facebook page. Lynda couldn't believe it. 

"I can hear  a lot of filthy words and I can hear the hit. She went all the way back and slapped her. My daughter was red for a long time."

The video has more than 30 comments on Facebook and several "likes." 

"The Shell is quoted on Facebook as saying,' you don't need to go look for entertainment, just come to Lehigh Shell," said Keith.

So why would a gas station looking to bring in business post a video of the attack on their page? 

"Are they going to video tape everybody and think it's funny? It's not funny," said Keith.
 
Fox 4 got on the phone and asked to speak to the owner. He tells Fox it's his Facebook page and he can post anything he wants. He said he would consider taking it down.
 
The last time Fox 4 checked his page, the video is still available. Fox 4 also reached out for a comment from Shell corporate, we are waiting to hear back. Fox  is told the gas station is independently owned.
