But, this is regarding a situation where they've initiated a behavior that you don't approve of. They wouldn't just approach you and randomly slap you... something had to have initiated their behavior. Here's an example (I see this happening all the time at fast food joints): You order something, the employees screw up your order after you've received it, you then politely confront them about the issue, but then the employees refuse to correct it and display an ugly attitude towards you.
So then what happens next, you asked?... they get into an argument with you for about 5 minutes and they haul off and slap you. It's disrespectful because first of all, they had no business putting their hands on you in the first place. Second, you don't treat customers that way because then they could just decide to eat elsewhere. It really depends on the situation, bro.
I dunno. I've had my order screwed up at restaurants before but it has never really bothered me. Mistakes happen, and honestly bringing it up is a waste of my time and energy (as well as theirs). Not to mention it's also wasteful to just throw the food away.
I see what you're saying, but when it comes to strangers I always try to remain courteous and prioritize not making a scene. You also just don't know what someone else is going through, so meh.

Remember, your personal boundaries were attacked; therefore, this opens the door for you to lash out at them. I'm not sure how it is in your country, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but over here in America, it's a different tone. You know what starts to happen? All these past memories of repeatedly having your boundaries stepped on, eventually triggers an angry response out of you. C'mon bro, there had to have been one time before, where you thought enough was enough, and you've felt disrespected.
I think this heavily depends on your personal moral philosophy, but I certainly give myself no such right. I disagree with the pervasive idea that "two wrongs make a right" (and more generally with retributive justice, but that's another tangent altogether). I just do my best to avoid the person or tolerate their behaviour if it's not too serious. If it is serious, I'd rather contact the relevant authorities and let them handle it.
