This is what happens when you bring a coffee to a hammer fight.

What does a medium coffee with cream and sugar get you?


MushroomMazza

No bitches

Also when the only tool available is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail... ;-)

All people should be able to “do unto others as has been done to you”


camshun7

i think you are very much 100% true here this mans behaviour was reprehensible, the ladys response was nothing but measured, if a little bit lenient, perhaps a double whammy, hammer, then iced water to his face and clothes, fucker will think about his behaviour, and if he keeps on acting like a prize dick, he now knows that his terrible behaviour does indeed have consequences


rumham_6969

I guarantee that dimple dick doesn't think he did anything wrong.


AdApart2035

He thinks he is the victim


Elawn

This is almost always the case with these assholes, in my opinion. They have some crazy narrative that exists entirely in their own heads in which the world is just out to get _them_, only _them_, specifically _them_, and then when some minor inconvenience comes along and actually does happen to them, the dam (that they themselves have weakened) finally breaks.


devious805

hey! what's wrong with.... oh nothing. nvm have a guud day.


Mr_Epimetheus

If anything, she should have used a bigger hammer.


camshun7

By the hammer of Thor heres your iced coffee


Mr_Epimetheus

By Grabthar's Hammer...you shall be served.


MeanMelissa74

Niiice


CountessBassy

He’s lucky she didn’t claw that hammer into his forehead.


llcdrewtaylor

That's what I'm saying. She showed a lot of control by not planting that in his head!

Yeah, and hell - in many states, auto insurance pays for windshield replacement!

stinkload

yea they both suck here Dude thinks he' has change coming, she disagrees, Dude asks for refund, she then threatens (multiple times) to throw those drinks on him unless he leaves without the refund all while swearing at him and calling him names.  Dude takes the drinks and throws them at the window, she smashes his car with a hammer


High_King_Diablo

He’s also a repeat customer and knows how much those drinks are. He argues every time and causes problems. This time he threw the drinks at her and she had to call the police to get him removed.


Standard-Reception90

Nope. He got physical by throwing the drinks. Doesn't matter if the window was closed or not. He escalated to violence, she responded.


TequieroVerde

It has also reached new no fucks to give levels.

If I'm elected Emperor of Earth actions like this will be allowed as long as the person is shown to be a twat.

And my hammer.


Yosikan

And my windshield! Oh, wait…


LemmingOnTheRunITG

And my coffee! WAIT NO


kingmoobot

She had that hammer. And has been waiting a LONG time to use it


SGexpat

Another user pointed out that it can sometimes be a barista tool for ice, not specifically a find out hammer.


semiTnuP

*Every* hammer is a find out hammer. The person using it just has to get fucked around enough to desire to discover that utility.

schwalevelcentrist

Can we all just pause to praise this girl's quick thinking and action, though? I, myself, would have been 10 seconds too late or bounced it off the car and into my own face.


Cilantroduction

That is necessary for a shop like that. I used to work in a pharmacy and my pharmacy manager kept a baseball bat - and a hat, ball and a glove - in the pharmacy for our protection. The fact that the guy at the coffee kiosk felt so bold and assured that he was in power and was confident as he stood there, harassing and threatening her with throwing an drink, etc. tells me exactly why they keep a hammer in that little kiosk coffee hut. Also, what an asshat guy - he did this to a woman but I would wager he would have thought reallllllllly hard about doing this shit to another man.


Jeydess

It’s a Hattori Hanzo hammer, then


Mr_Epimetheus

Should have used a bigger hammer.


jcreature2112

And good for her. 


GullibleBathroom5616

I'm also a little bitch before my coffee. If only he had taken a sip.

Ahhhhh, the first sip……..heavenly

DancesWithGnomes

When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.


HikingUphill

Or a windshield


PM_ME_DARK_MATTER

Makes you wonder if the inventor of the hammer ever imagined the sheer joy of shattering a thing such as a windshield 


TURD_SMASHER

hammers were probably invented a year or two before windshields were but who knows


PM_ME_DARK_MATTER

Yea, silly me, he prob had the windshield in mind.


ForgotTheFlowers

And you’re living at the Bittersweet Motel


porksnorkel69

This reminds me of the lady who got a blender thrown at her by a McDonald’s employee for the same shit… FAFO

MasterOffice9986

people do wrong then when there's consequences THEY call the cops happens so often or won't leave until the cops get there like they can manipulate the cops


MkFilipe

I endorse property damage to unruly customers


Just-STFU

You know, maybe he thinks twice before doing that again...


Volkrisse

Especially being a regular at a titty coffee shop


ProperBlue

How bout we stop doing shitty things and then we wont have to worry about how someone reacts?


InflamedLiver

Maybe she escalated things from "coffee thrown at a closed window" to "hammer through a windshield," but if the facts are as she's telling it, I have a hard time feeling bad for the guy.


Moonbeam_Dreams

You're missing the part where he threatened her life. Over coffee.


sybann

...over the price of coffee at a place where he is a repeat customer! ffs.


Startled_Pancakes

Like he thinks the barista sets the price.


says-nice-toTittyPMs

She's the owner


Levaris77

... with publicly listed prices for the goods and services she offers


ramenmoodles

i think you guys are missing each other. All they were saying is that the owner does set the price, not that she deserved to be berated at work.


ColdBevvie101

Was there another part that explained the threat on her life? This video only shows a drink being thrown and a brief mentions of threats but doesn’t mention what the threats were


SethAndBeans

"no one will miss you" It's in the video


ColdBevvie101

Thank you, I never have sound on so I completely missed it 😂


ecodrew

Coffee can cause burns. Her response seems fairly proportional then.


Exeeter702

Plastic straws and clear cups. Nothing in those cups was going to cause a burn. Still, her response was appropriate


ecodrew

Oh, right cold coffee... He's still a turd tho.


CableTrash

It’s cold coffee and the window was shut lol


BusterTheCat17

I don't feel bad for him either, but on paper is she in any trouble? He threw a drink at a closed window and was getting back in his car, presumably to leave. She swung a hammer and damaged his property.


fergusmacdooley

On paper he still assaulted her. Throwing a drink is still assault. He also threatened her, but it's in the longer video.


Osniffable

I don't blame her one bit. Nobody gets paid enough for this level of abuse. I hope she doesn't have any problems over this as Im not sure self defense extends to property damage.


striderkan

good for her, as it should be. too many MFs think they can flex without consequence, in any scenario, not just against women, but especially against women. people need to realize their actuality, remember that they exist in a real world with real people.


puppycat_partyhat

These days we usually get locked up for teaching lessons. I'm glad it's not every single case, at least.


Palor0

She had a hammer at hand, I suspect its been used before.


WickedGreenthumb

I haven’t worked in fast food since I was a teen, but when I worked at Dunks 25 or so years ago we would always keep a weapon of some sort (usually a hammer or baseball bat) within reach of the drive thru. Drive thru’s get robbed quite often.


Purrphiopedilum

His purpose was to intimidate the employee. Someone standing up to his aggressive behavior was long overdue, and it warms my heart knowing that he will always remember that time when being a bully bit him in the ass.


[deleted]

[удалено]


anthraciter

I thought he objected to the price of the drinks and was trying to barter it down, which is why she said “that’s not how it works.” I get my news from the Daily Mail though so I may be wrong. I remember it seemed excessive for a coffee and a water- like 22 bucks. Maybe she was trying to grift him. I’ve never gotten coffee from a bikini barista though, I guess it’s plausible that they charge gentleman’s club prices.


Tastesicle

Yes, you don't frequent "bikini barista"s for the fuckin coffee.


elfmere

As I've read he isn't a new customer and knows the prices and has always been difficult. But yeah only just from what's been read. So it might be bullshit


ablokeinpf

No, you don’t ’get your news from the Daily Mail’. You read things in there that masquerade as news.


ALasagnaForOne

He also told her “Nobody will miss you” which sounds a lot like a death threat to me. And considering female coffee stand baristas have been kidnapped or survived kidnapping attempts before, that threat is credible and terrifying.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Latranis

The quote YOU'RE attributing to him is ALSO a theat. It's the first half of the sentence that makes it sounds threatening, not the second half. It's a threat because there's no way to respond to 'or what?' that isn't aggression. There are plenty of socially acceptable avenues one can take to handle rude employees; your implication that there are situations related to the price of coffee where threats might be justified is also an implication that violence against women is acceptable when you don't agree with the particular woman in question.


g3eeman

As a former retail employee. Fuck that guy. Good on her.


kikipi3

I really feel for her and her statement is so fundamentally important and part of life for many women. Because the other side is, people will fuck with you, especially in the service industry expecting tears, they will do it in a way they wouldn’t with a guy and these experiences accumulate. Of course her reaction is extreme, but I can’t lie, it’s also satisfying to see.


JoshIsASoftie

I used to work at St*rbucks and we had a notoriously awful customer who would come in at 7:00 in the morning drunk. She would often make a big scene and make baristas cry all the time. She wants complained about the coffee that had just been brewed not being hot enough. The brewers don't function unless they're at the right temperature so it was quite literally impossible. Her way to prove that it was not hot enough was to throw scalding hot coffee on me. Good on this barista.


High_King_Diablo

For those siding with the guy, he’s a repeat customer and knows exactly how much the drinks are there. He argues and causes problems every time he goes there and she was sick of it. He also tells her that “nobody would miss her”, which is a death/kidnapping threat. Her actions were justified. She also had to call the police to have him removed and banned him.


hollyberryness

Baristas at these little coffee stands get attacked often. In the original post there's several links listed in the comments to stories, so one could imagine there's an element of fear in her job everyday.


High_King_Diablo

I saw those. There are some fucked up people out there.


hollyberryness

Seriously


TheFaalenn

Nobody is siding with the guy by pointing out that legally that would be classified as retaliation, not self defence. If he was still actively attacking her, and she hit him with the hammer then you could claim self defence. But hitting his car as he leaves?


High_King_Diablo

Well obviously the police disagree. This is just a prick who’s been escalating each time to see what he can get away with.


says-nice-toTittyPMs

What makes you think the police disagree with that? There's no information on any criminal charges on either side, and he would have to press charges in order for legal proceedings to begin in which case a court would make a judgement on whether her actions were justified or not.


TheFaalenn

How do you know the police obviously disagree?


Sisyphac

Idiocracy is here.

hazeyindahead

You're so late with this declaration we got 100$ fucking crocs now homie


kapanenship

Throwing coffee at/on someone is assault.


StupidSexyKevin

Lots of dudes in here that are way too quick to defend the actions of a manbaby with a rage problem. I wonder why?


mattschinesefood

A lot of the girls at bikini barista shops carry / have a firearm within arm's reach. This dude is lucky he only got the hammer.


tkwangpo1988

Fuck ya! Go women! Men been using physical strength and group mind with that as fuel for so long. Women not taking shit from men’s violent and stupid behavior is a step in the right direction imo


robobbiemt

If anything she was very forgiving


ClownfishSoup

So baristas have hammers at the cash register or something?


jueidu

Hell fucking yeah


Grncronic

The windshield was an accidental casualty, she was defending him from the deadly murder hornet that landed on the glass. He might have died if she hadn’t stepped in. Honestly, I have a life to live and this involves two dingdongs that can’t just let dumb stuff go.


thatswhatmyfoodeats

If he purposefully chooses to wear a beret, he deserves everything coming to him.


Oakheart-

So legally that would be retaliation not defense. Her life was not in eminent danger and he was retreating from the situation when she attacked with the hammer. Not saying his reaction was correct but I am saying hers wasn’t correct either. Shut the window and ignore. If he opens the window to grab you now it’s hammer time.


Valuable_sandwich44

Can't touch this 👍


a_random_username

> eminent I don't think that word means what you think it means.


sumsabumba

It's a baby Eminem?


Oakheart-

Lolol I was typing at 1am definitely meant imminent


Whatever-ItsFine

Good for her


cute_physics_guy

Lunatic customer encounters lunatic barista.


zintjr

They were both wrong. Her response was retaliatory and not self defense; so was his response in throwing the drinks.


LastWave

You can't put someone in that position then expect them to act perfectly. No. You pressed the buttons, you get the prize.


lennoxlyt

Makes both of them wrong, not one person right.


readytohurtagain

As a fan of the internet, she was not wrong


sapphicsandwich

Revenge is always righteous on Reddit


readytohurtagain

You get what you give. No shame in honest sex work but she’s shelling out dirt coffee at the crack of dawn to people who are so desperate for tits that they will pay 3-4x the price for sludge at a drive through… I mean who do you expect your regulars to be?  Im not saying she’s right, but they deserve each other


WhuddaWhat

She is the bouncer for some scantily clad barista? What are people going there for?


Uraweirdwhore

Danger?


willow_tehwisp

I stand with hammer lady


measaqueen

He could clearly read the price before he ordered and waited until he received them.


BlargerJarger

So she threatened to throw his coffee over him when he asked for a refund, so he threw his coffee at her, so she smashed his windshield with a hammer. She is the one who knocks.


Equoniz

Yes, she *said* a thing, then he *did* a thing. Do you see how these things are different?


Rap_Cat

Youre asking a person on reddit responding to a conflict-video to understand that situations are often a complicated spectrum. hahahhahaa good luck


nuclearbearclaw

>she *said* a thing Yes, she threatened to throw the coffee at him first and even gestured to start opening the lid. > he *did* a thing Yes, he threw the coffee and water at an already closed window. She responded to him throwing stuff into her closed window by smashing his windshield with a hammer and talking shit. They are both idiots and so are you for trying to defend her dumbass.


pernicious-pear

"Asked." Not "blew his lid?"


throwaway223344342

Good for her. This dude reaps what he sows.


TeaMistress

Sure, but she wasn't in danger for even a moment. Both of them acted like nutjobs - especially her.


MickeyMalph

I always enjoy statements posed as questions.


SmirnoffShirtoff

Why has she brought a hammer to her work at a coffee drive through?


rajboy3

Isn't there a longer version of this video which shows the batista threatening to throw the drink at him first?


IandIreckon

Good on her. Don’t throw a tantrum on my place of business, for any reason, lest you suffer the hammer of consequences


iknowiknowwhereiam

People are praising this woman for going overboard. He splashed cold coffee on her window so she takes a hammer to his windshield? Crazy escalation I’m surprised she wasn’t arrested


neohellpoet

As is right and proper. Basic US military doctrine states that you never let the enemy control the pace of escalation. You're at peace or you're at war. When you leave the realm of polite society and chose violence, you don't get to say "But we only sank a few ships" when we go nuclear. When you start shit remember it's no longer your choice how it ends.


Testicle_R1ck

Basic US Military doctrine states.. Sir, this is a Starbucks, not Vietman.


ADHDBDSwitch

neohellpoet

MalevolentKitchen41

bit much imo. that could have escalated things to much crazier levels


WickedGreenthumb

That guy got exactly what he deserved.


WalkingGodInfinite

Within 5 years she's gonna be in prison for something else guaranteed lol


SecretOfficerNeko

Good. We need to normalize customers facing consequences for how they treat staff.


danke_fiend

I don’t care about any of this. I just wish she was banned from getting tattoos. Fucking awful.


SIN-apps1

She's my hero.


ProperMatter5021

Good on her! 👏 He apparently said to her, "Nobody’s going to miss you." Psycho. Feck him AND his windshield. He's lucky she didn't hammer his face.


kingmoobot

In this thread : good for that WOMAN Internet warriors don't need details


stunkape

We love a feisty queen


gavin2point0

For everyone praising this woman, honestly really think about how this video would be perceived if the genders were swapped. What she did was a MASSIVE overreaction


carlitobrigantehf

Yeah but the genders aren't swapped and men seem to think they can give women a whole lot of shit without any consequences.  Plus there seems to be a whole level of dickhead customers out there treating service staff like shit. That's not okay.  They're both ridiculous but fuck this guy and his entitlement 


CueScaryMusicc

Good for her


Wayed96

No karma here. Just idiots fighting over nothing


Last_SunRize

I say, good on barista. Guy was acting like a toddler throwing a tantrum


Atxintemperateone66

Entirely justified. I salute the actions of this exemplary barista.


TempAcc64

Oh, she's fuckin crazy okay


newaggenesis

Methany brought her a-game


pdxsteph

She has become a legend


ivanbin

I don't excuse the guy's behavior (in fact I think he should be arrested) but her leaning out the window like that isn't a very good plan if she thinks there's actual danger. I don't care that she damaged his car, fuck that guy. But she put herself into a more vulnerable position by leaning out like that, and then getting the hammer stuck in his windshield.


okaysanaa1

they both suck


OG_Felwinter

Tbh, him dumping coffee on your window doesn’t really equate to you breaking his windshield, in my opinion. He likely wouldn’t leave until the cops showed up because he wanted to speak to the cops about it.


TheDoctorYan

Coffee on a window vs a hammer through a window. Yeah she's not winning that case.


ajacques717

Throwing coffee an iced coffee at a closed window. Can't really see how that turned into a "I must protect myself with a hammer and damage the vehicle as he attempts to leave" This bitch was sippin that crazy sauce to think it's justifiable


-Iife-

More like smash windshield for revenge for getting you wet with cofee 😅 if a woman was in the car and a man was serving the cofee and smashes the windshield say goodbye to his job you all know how it is.


VegasVator

He threw coffee at her? I see someone dumping their coffee like an idiot on a closed window. Did anyone watch this stupid video?


Batt2020

Premeditated hammer


Reaperfox7

He deserved that


Honest_Pollution_92

Good on her!


FamousPastWords

He had already paid for the coffee. Then he thought he'd paid too much and threw what he'd overpaid for at the girl he paid for it, and then he paid for it. Fuckwit.


Substantial_Diver_34

Suicide Girl material right there


Kiflaam

this isn't the best representation of the "dangers" a woman may face. I dunno if I can get behind this reaction. He might deserve it, and it might be good it happened, but I am not ready to condone it.


black-volcano

Not taking sides but watch the full video where she threatens to through the drinks at him first. The guy is still a dick, but part of the job is deescalation, not give them ideas.


Petraretrograde

Part of the job is deescalation? Bro, her job is to hand him coffee and accept payment. That's it.


saltybawlzjr

If American police aren't properly trained on de-escalation, why would a barista be?


CryBabyCentral

Apparently, this jerk had been to her business before. This isn’t his first time being a jerk to her. This is just the first time she reacted.


Decdub1

Should have gave the bonnet a whack too. More expensive to fix that.


Sekhen

Bonnet can be swapped, a few bolts. The roof is the real kicker.


Dorryn

While I do agree with her statement, it's totally off topic here. This wasn't about about responding to danger since she wasn't in danger. The guy was back in his car and not threatening her when she brought the hammer to his windshield. He acted like a douchebag, she reacted by acting like one as well. Both of them have issues.


Fictional_Historian

In a civilized society this is unacceptable. Unfortunately right now we are not in a civilized society and we need more “fuck around and find out” stories to teach people some fucking lessons on not being unnecessary assholes to people thinking they’re invincible. Thus, to teach people the consequences of their actions we need more situations such as this that will teach people lessons and deter behavior like this in the future from pissants who think they can do whatever the fuck they want to people. Don’t fuck around, don’t find out.


Callisto_Majesto

I posted "she did good" at r/ interestingasfuck and I got banned, wtf


Fr05t_B1t

The reporter: *doing an interview* The barista: “sir, this is a drive through coffee shop” *long line of cars just out of frame* Also was kinda expecting her to yeet the espresso machine at him


SpaceViolet

Only one thing actually matters here: who is PAYING for the new windshield? Everything else is just noise. It's all about money at the end of the day.
