One-time verbal abuse from a stranger is not traumatizing, and neither is thrown food.

Were you there to witness the situation? Do you know exactly what happened and when?

Nope, but any one-time interaction with a stranger that doesn't result in injury is not traumatizing for the vast majority of people. If it is, that just indicates they should have been in therapy already.

My point is you can't judge the people involved without knowing the people involved, or at least what happened. It's kinda unreasonable to assume that everyone involved is perfectly average because a significant chunk of the population isn't part of "the vast majority."
