As Zwammy says, it's actually more of an understatement. Assault simply means putting someone in fear of an attack; actually carrying out the unlawful application of force is battery.

also, Vicky was and is a total stranger to Faye, and "ran out" afterwards.
if Vicky hadn't run out of CoD, or came back later, i imagine she'd have made a complaint to Dora about Faye, at least. Dora also notes that "normally that would be grounds for your firing".. am i the only person who would be horrified by a completely unprovoked attack like that?
GarandMarine:
Apparently. Side note, you wouldn't actually happen to be made of toffee would you?
Is it cold in here?:
Certainly not the only one. That scene was an unflattering part of showing Faye's character.
Barmymoo:
I think it's worth remembering that it happened a lot earlier in the strip, despite the fact that Jeph posted a redrawn version later on when he hadn't got a comic for that day, which might make it feel like it was a later strip. I think maybe if it had happened now, there would have been more discussion and Marten might have said "you didn't need to do that, I was over it" or Dora might have told Faye off - she has called her on her poor treatment of customers since then.
LookingIn:
Real life vs. reading it as a comic though. If we saw that in real life that employee would have been fired and the coffee house sued.
But since this was in the comic and it was a major moment of friendship between Faye and Marten, this came off as a "nice job" moment...
