But things took a turn when the customer complained about the service received, according to a statement.
Surveillance footage released by Phoenix station KPHO-TV shows the customer eating ice cream when a man comes out from behind the counter, approaches him and punches him in the head.
"The client fell to the ground, hitting his head and lost consciousness," police said.
The man was taken to a hospital, where he remained in critical condition.

Kendrick was initially arrested and charged with aggravated assault, but after the client's death he was charged with second-degree murder.
He is currently still in prison, according to prison records.
