When Dionne turned away the security camera footage showed the annoyed customer hurling the cup of iced coffee at her head.
“As soon as I go to like walk back over behind the counter is when she chucked the ice coffee on my head. It hit like the back of my ponytail and I was very like shaken. I like didn’t understand what happened,” the worker shared with the news station.
