Man stomps on hawker's steamed buns, netizens demand justice
A Chinese customer who was supposedly given the wrong flavour of steamed buns by a street hawker in Beijing, China, has struck out in the most unreasonable of behaviour.
The incident which took place on Thursday, was caught on camera by a bystander, who told Chinese reporters that the unidentified man and his friend, were allegedly demanding compensation from the hawker for selling him the wrong bun flavour.
In a rage, the two men started to trash the stall and kicked the basket of buns onto the ground. One of the men then started to stomp on all the buns while hurling verbal abuse at a woman, while his accomplice stood by and watched.

Pictures showed the woman, who has since been identified as the stall owner, squatting next to the scene, trying to clean up the mess.
As soon as the pics went viral, Chinese netizens called upon local authorities to arrest the two tyrants and punish them.
According to Beijing Youth Daily, the stall's owner who goes by the surname Wang, clarified that the incident occurred not due to the men being served the wrong buns, but instead was due to a drunken altercation between a man and his friends.
"When I watched the news this morning, my first reaction was to cry," she said. "I feel particularly aggrieved that it happened not because of buns with the wrong stuffing. I've been in this business for many years, I've never come across such a reason to smash things."
The Beijing Chaoyang police has since verified the cause of the incident. It's unclear if authorities will press charges on the men.
Currently, a settlement between the offenders and stall owners is being negotiated.
