I have a few times, in my place of work, where customers become upset with a situation and often decide to take it out on the cashier (me) and swear at me and become very angry. Is there any law against swearing in public towards somebody? Is it considered a type of Verbal Assault? I do not feel that I have to accept that type of behavior and treatment from anyone and I refuse to. Can I make a citizens arrest and file charges against any person who consistently swears at me and makes me feel unsafe? Thanks!
