"If I had a customer who was being aggressive and disrespectful, I would calmly but firmly ask them to calm down. If security needed to be called, I would do so. Everyone needs to remain respectful, and I would not hesitate to ask a customer to offer that respect, in return."

I would remain calm in the situation and nicely ask the customer to do the same. If I'm unable to resolve the issue with the measures, I see fit for the specific scenario I would seek help from a manager on shift
