Emma Lee, a 23-year-old owner of Taste of Heaven Espresso in South Seattle, took a hammer to a customer's windshield after he threw drinks at her during a dispute over prices. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, has sparked a divided reaction online. The customer, who had ordered a 32-ounce coffee and a 24-ounce water totaling $33, became abusive when Lee refused to lower the prices. He then threw the drinks at her, prompting her to retaliate with a hammer. Lee, who operates the business as a bikini barista, has since called the police and pressed charges against the customer.
