In comes some jerk and gives him crap. Just what he needed to tip the scale.
Besides it's NatickLots of rich people.
I always root for the underdog.
If it was a 19 year old kid it would be a different story.
I'm not saying the customer didn't do anything to provoke the guy. He was probably being a jackass, but that doesn't mean he should have his tires slashed.

Keep in mind that carrying a weapon on you while at work is a vilolation of company policy at many businesses. I'm pretty sure that the franchisee who owns that store doesn't allow it.

Yes, I agree. I just think it is something to think about before you freak out on someone. It seems that there are many people on edge thse days.
I hate DD. Things are just about the same in every store.
There is no such thing as good service anymore.
No pride in work either. It has been that way for along time.

Nobody should have their property damaged or get hurt over a cup of coffee.

So now a pocket knife is a weapon?
Geez I don't think I know any men who don't carry a pocket knife.
My father always had one. My husband carries one everyday.
What's next nail clippers?
