Saw someone getting bullied on their first day at work in a cafe

Who was bullying her? Trying to understand this.

Was she behind a counter and serving customers? Customers can be of varying temperaments. Not everyone wants to talk and smile. Some just want to be served and go on their way.
 
It figured. Karma catching up to some people in a big way. I still recall the last time I saw him years later, while in a book store at the mall. He was busy bullying someone else at the time. I looked at him and just rolled my eyes. I actually think I embarrassed him.
When I was 18 I took on bar work as a second job. I mostly worked Thursday and Friday nights and did 14 hours on Saturdays. Just after opening on Saturday mornings it was usually very quiet, two old men down one end of the bar and two old men at the other, all of them studying their racing form guides and working out what bets they'd put on for the day.

One Saturday morning one of my old bullies staggered in still blind drunk from the night before, the manager was there at the time and told him he could only have one beer and then he had to leave again, I would have refused to serve him right from the start. He sat at a table looking towards the bar and he kept pulling angry faces and he was pounding one fist in to his palm and working himself up to a confrontation.

I ignored him for a little while but when I decided he was going to far I slapped both hands down on the bar hard to make a very loud bang and I bellowed "That's it! No more beer!". The old blokes thought I meant everyone, they all got up and grabbed an arm and a leg each and physically threw him out in to the street.

I gave them all a free beer for that.
 
Sadly a lot of people who are jealous or envious of other people do that. It is a serious problem. Being a people pleaser i can see myself very easily at that person's position. The weird thing is people who are too headstrong or confident can be bullied too. It makes no sense to me
