Today, a customer threw his hot coffee all over me, because it was taking "too long" for their credit card to be approved. FML

So I am doing a follow up on this because for some reason a different name was put as the author, I have contacted FML about it. This happened about 2 years ago when I worked at a theme park in Orlando. The guy was buying tickets and I told him that the computer told me I had to call the credit card company. I asked if he wanted me to use a different card and he said no and was fine with me calling to get authorization. I was on hold with the company and it was taking too long for him. He started complaining and I told him I was on hold but instead of calming down he threw his coffee on me. It was not scorching hot but it was hot enough that it did burn a bit. Security came over and escorted him off the premises and he is now banned from the entire company's property. I didn't sue in fact it was just another story to tell my friends and family.

I think that qualifies as assault. Take his grumpy ass to court!

I heard the customer is always right... So direct your punch to the right side

I work at Starbucks and our computers are always working so slowly. I've had customers get pretty mad, so I totally understand. I've also spilt 16-24 oz of 200°F water on myself, so I get the pain as well.

I work at Panera Bread. Customers can just be so rude. Don't they realize that we are people too?

When I was a toddler my family stopped at a Hardee's for breakfast one morning during a trip. My mom specifically asked for cooled off grits for me & instead they gave scalding hot grits which resulted in burns on the inside of my mouth. My family never sued but looking back now I see how easily we could have .... And won! If I were you OP I'd still consider suing basically because it's assault and people need to realize they can't treat people however they want and get away with it.

How did he get his coffee before the credit card was approved?? Not how it works where I live
