A bit of an overreaction of your own here...

I have trouble both seeing how your explanation applies to the situation and how it is relevant to the issue of the acceptability of her behavior by the rest of the cast.

On one hand even when he doesn't say anything to her she hits him such as when she first saw him and knew nothing about him or his feelings towards her. It seems to me that he doesn't have to say anything to her to elicit a violent action from her which makes me doubt that he is actively 'making' her hit him.

On the other hand how can you defend physical abuse on the order of punching in the face as a response/reaction to verbal 'abuse' on the order of not being tactful.[redacted]

[redacted]I think it irks me most that the other cast members acknowledge that it's a bad thing for Inami to hit men for nothing but they don't seem to see it as a big deal and never go beyond encouraging her to stop on her own.
Yes, it is his fault that he is getting hit more instead of customers or the other male workers. He is egging her on. He even actively encouraged her to get it out on him instead of her attacking the general manager while convincing her that he is more air than he is a man. She was hiding behind him casually before he reminded her.

At the beginning, she was shocked enough to see him that she lashed out. Toward the end of her episode (eps 2), he is quite actively harassing her verbally. He denounces her repeatedly, snaps at her for getting his name wrong, calls her unfit for work more than once, and so on.

It's not acceptable behavior, nor did I ever mention it was, and even Inami herself thinks so. The cast all acknowledges it is a problem, but so far she hasn't hit any customers (by miracle or by Yachiyo's dutiful work). Kyouko doesn't care, she'll just use her gang to find new customers.

They haven't been able to stop it because most of them are girls (or kitchen staff who are out of range behind the counter). She's been trying to get past it, but it is such a comedic extreme level of fear that she can't. She has also displayed willpower to avoid it when she is forced to deal with male customers. But it isn't excessively unwarranted. She doesn't run up to him when they are across the room from each other and beat him up. Either she is surprised as they meet around a corner, or he verbally provokes her in some manner or another.

Would you be decrying with such vigor any other character who shares the similar behavior? Almost every female cast of an ecchi series has the violent overreaction character type. Hell, pretty much every Kugimiya Rie character shares that sort of behavior. Akane Tendo, Narusegewa, it has been going on for decades. I find Inami's version particularly amusing (moreso than the standard megaton punch character) because due to her job it is such a hilarious handicap. It is a miracle she still has a job, and that contributes to the humor.
