- woodruffw 4y agoNo, just being verbally threatening is not assault on its own; there needs to be an imminent threat of physical harm for it to be a crime. But this isn't the standard your coffee shop is interested in, because they don't want waitstaff to have to wait for a crime to happen to them before removing someone who's harming their business and upsetting the other customers.
