According to the Daily Record, betting shop staff in Scotland regularly face physical and verbal abuse at work, researchers found. Staff find themselves in the firing line when frustrated customers lose their money.
Almost one in five workers in bookies' shops said they had been physically assaulted or spat at while working. And more than half of those surveyed had seen or heard a colleague facing abuse from the public.
In one case, a woman was threatened by a customer who told her he would burn her house down after she declared his betting slip void.
At least Scottish punters don't have access to guns and it is difficult to chib somebody through the glass.
