Retail Balls Award goes to a Dunkin Donuts drive-thru cashier who confronted a NAT!
In a West Haven, CT Dunkin Donuts drive-thru, cashier Angelica fended off a custy trying to rob her. She threw a pot of hot scalding coffee at the NAT! As he ran off like a bitch, Angelica shouted: "Go run on Dunkin!" - this was in references to the company's tagline "American Runs on Dunkin." Nothing warms my skeleton heart more than seeing a NAT get taken down!
Angelica gets an RHU Retail Balls Award! Way to go girl!

Wonder if this NAT is going to try to sue now for getting hot coffee torn on him.

Throw hot coffee on a thief, calmly close drive thru window. Win

She will, of course, be fired for this. And the NAT will sue. Feel-good article, sure, but that was a damn stupid thing to do.

I fear HeavyP and Karebear may be right...we can't even defend ourselves without being punished for it...and if we don't defend ourselves, we get hurt and/or still punished for losses sustained from the attack.

Real life is beginning to resemble high school in this way. Defending yourself gets you into just as much trouble as starting the fight would.

This isn't deserving of a Retail Balls award.
Escalating conflict without control of the situation isn't brave, it's fucking stupid.
She was lucky she didn't blind him and/or that he got back in his car rather than getting a gun out of it.
I don't support companies holding employees for being robbed - but no job is worth risking being killed for.

Maybe Dhamp it was out of instinct? People react in different ways went they are scare. I think if that was me I probably would have punch him out. Not because I want to but because it would be my reaction from being scare.

They damn well better give her a raise and a promotion.

Truth be told, I'd rather loose my job over defending myself, then loose my job, or my life to some lowlife NAT. I'd of course leave with a few choice words for management if they fired me for defending myself, including the words "I bet the media would love to hear about this".

Whoops, I meant to say "I'd rather loose my job over defending myself, then loose my life to some lowlife NAT."

Having been at gun point during a robbery, I can honestly say I applaud her. He had a knife; had my attackers had a knife, I would have fought back.

Were the heck were any of her co-workers! That looks like a big place to be all by yourself.
