Bikini Barista Smashes A Customer's Windshield With A Hammer After He Threw Drinks At Her

Joe Biden's economy continues to take a toll on folks around the country.  The inflation and the higher prices that accompany it are even causing issues between local bikini baristas and their customers.

Is that the point where we as a country finally draw the line?  It should be.

We can't have these kinds of important relationships deteriorate to the point of physical violence.  The kind where drinks are being thrown and windshields are being smashed.

That's exactly what happened this week at the Taste of Heaven Espresso in Seattle.

Emma Lee, the owner and lone employee of the fine establishment, explains to KIRO 7 what led to her taking a hammer to her customer's windshield.

The bikini barista said that her customer crossed the line on Tuesday.  He pulled up to the drive-thru and demanded a refund due to the price of the coffee he had paid for.

Surveillance video from the incident shows the man outside his vehicle complaining to the small business owner.  During the exchange, Lee says he threatens her before eventually throwing the drinks at her.

The drinks being thrown were obviously something Lee wasn't going to stand for.  She said, "Disrespect and violence are two different things.  I can handle the disrespect, the violence is like a hard, that’s where the line is crossed."

When the man, who other customers had been trying to reason with for about 10 minutes, tossed out the line "nobody's going to miss you," Lee took note and filed that away as a threat.  From there she was on high alert.

This Bikini Barista Is Not Playing Around When She Feels Threatened

"It’s one thing to yell, it’s one thing to get mad, it’s one thing to even be outside of your car and try to threaten me," Lee added.  "But to actually have the action behind it, it changed things for me where I was like ‘oh no.’"

Lee responded to the drinks being thrown at her by reaching for her trusty hammer.  She has it on her for these types of occasions when she feels a need to defend herself.

She said, "I personally think that you thought you were going to throw drinks on me and ruin my day, you’re going to pay for a new windshield and it’s going to ruin your day."

You would think having your windshield smashed in would be an indication that it was time to move along, but it wasn't for this guy.  He stuck around until Lee called the police.

According to Lee, the police got her unhappy customer to finally leave.  The police told KIRO 7 that no arrests were made.

This was just a sad example of the stresses of navigating life in 2024 with President Biden's handlers running the show.

Let's get back to a world where the price of coffee at the bikini barista doesn't cause customers to forget why they're there in the first place, and that's to support a small business with their hard-earned cash.
