It's unfortunate that you had to go through such treatment. If your unasked question is whether you have any legal rights through these episodes the answer is likely no. While there is a cause of action for the intentional infliction of mential or emotionl distress, NY courts haven't been friendly requiring a level of outrageousness that hasn't been legallydefined. The person who threw the can of soda might be guilty of a minor criminal act but it's not worth the time and trouble. You had a bad day. Tomorrow always brings the opportunity for a better one.
