A heated argument over a $22 coffee order at a Seattle drive-thru coffee shop led to bikini-clad barista Emma Lee smashing a customer’s windshield with a hammer.
The incident, captured on surveillance video, shows Lee reacting after the customer gets out of his car approached the window, and threw an iced coffee at her. Lee claimed the man also threatened her, saying, “Nobody is going to miss you.”
The customer, a regular who had previously complained about prices, had ordered a 32-ounce coffee and a 24-ounce water.
Lee called the police and filed misdemeanor assault charges against the customer, who may take her to small claims court for the windshield damage.
Despite mixed reactions online, Lee remains unapologetic, saying she had the right to defend herself.
