When I worked in retail I had to ask people to wear a mask. Not a problem at all. But there was this one lady who came behind the counter an coughed on me? Technically it was assault because I even got spit on me.
Like at what point does someone cross into being just plain evil.
I’ve mostly worked retail jobs in my life, but I got lucky and avoided any public-facing work during peak COVID. Customer service is rough at the best of times, but I can’t imagine having to deal with the anti-mask crowd.
I loved it actually. Out of hundreds of people a day only one would require real handling. I don’t think they realized that they were that one special asshole.

That’s just downright awful. I’m sorry you were assaulted by a waste of flesh.
I think she had a mental issue. Like her eyes weren’t right.
That probably fits as a legal assault in many countries. So messed up.

That lady would have left with less teeth.
Over here that’d be illegal. But it would certainly give her a good reason to put on a mask!
If you’re assaulted, don’t have the right to defend yourself?
Over here you’ll want to simply remove yourself and contact the authorities. If that’s not possible you’ll want to use proportionate force.
In this case I’d say that means I’d be allowed to carefully push her from behind the counter and then call the police.
