Re: Assulted while at work

Your friend should already know what he's been charged with for using the customer's credit card without authority to do so (likely some form of larceny or even grand larceny, if the amount equaled or exceeded $200). Your friend,

of course, probably thinking that he was going to retaliate for the customer's offensive behaviour, ended up hurting only himself.

And, no, whatever the customer said to him would not be a basis for your friend to "press charges".
