Watch: Coffee shop worker slices up singer’s Confederate flag cap right in front of him
One Molten Java coffee shop employee apparently couldn’t take the sight of a Confederate flag baseball cap inside the Bethel, Connecticut, coffee shop any longer — so she did something about it.
A video camera capturing Stan Weston’s performance last Thursday also caught the moment when a Molten Java employee walked right up to stage area in the middle of a song, began slicing up his baseball cap with a knife and then tossed a piece of the cap at him.

Police arrived on the scene but soon departed after the employee in question agreed to apologize and give Weston $20 for the hat, police spokesman Capt. Steven Pugner told the paper.
Molten Java owner Wendy Cahill told the News-Times on Friday she hadn’t spoken the employee but said her actions were “wrong.”
“If they had a verbal conversation about the hat, I would have supported her,” Cahill added to the paper. “The sentiment I agree with, but not her actions. Everyone is welcome here, but they have to be willing to engage in civil discourse.”
