There's too many psychos in the world these days. Apparently he was mad about having to pay $5 and change for a couple of muffins and 2 coffees, so he decided to throw the coffees at the clerk. The coffee which landed on her face caused 1st degree burns.
There are two sides to every story.
Do you think it is not possible for the minimum wage workers to have an attitude and provoked the guy???

According to the police report read by Kusmin, Thomas entered the State Road business Saturday morning, and was "rude and swearing" and "upset because of the price and taxes on the order."
Kusmin said a receipt was printed by the first clerk, Megan Urichuk, and shown to Thomas, at which time he is said to have thrown the empty cardboard tray at Urichuk, striking her in the face while stating,
"Why don't you finish your job and put my coffees in the tray."
Kusmin said
Hanson then spoke up, and said "Why don't you stop throwing things at her."
Thomas then allegedly threw the coffees at Hanson before turning and leaving the store. Court documents say Hanson received "first-degree thermal burns."
The incident was captured on the store's security camera.
Thomas "must have been having a bad day," said Hanson's sister, Rachel. "There have been conflicting reports about his demeanor. Nobody knew what he was thinking." Rachel Hanson said her sister was taking pain medication.
Outside court, defense attorney Christopher Faulkner said that "if the allegations are true," it would be out of character for his client.
According to the police report,
Thomas told police that he threw the cardboard tray at a clerk, and that the tray, with coffee, was thrown back at him.
He expressed regret to police and "hoped the young lady wasn't hurt too bad."
