I would say "might", not "would". The witnesses get to decide what happens, though as Dora hints at, it is only special circumstances that allow this. (If it were to happen more often, the coffee shop would get a bad name ... it might even stick in court. With Vicky as the only case, they can get away with it, no problem.)
Is it cold in here?:
The QC world seems to tolerate more casual violence than ours does.
Method of Madness:
I hesitate to call that violence or casual.
DSL:
Arm punchings (multiple), Gibbs slaps (back-of-head slaps, if you're not into "NCIS"), at least one outright decking, a boob-punch (maybe in sisterly affection, who knows?) and of course a milk-dousing. Those are just off the top of my head, and not counting a couple impromptu laserings of inanimate objects.
Casually violent, or violently casual? Take your pick.

And what makes you think she hasn't already damaged their reputation? She has shown she is terrible to the customers, and something like that would put it over the line to the point that people would not set foot in there harming the business. And the court case, which in this society would happen, her past history of being terrible to the customers would harm the shop. She would have to go, if only to save the shop from further damage.
