When Vince ' s employer Charlie Stubbs eventually realised what Roy was being subjected to , he fired Vince on the spot , punched him in the face and told him that he didn ' t want to see him in Weatherfield again . Feeling compelled to put up signs around the café after Vince had been disrespectful on several occasions - namely bringing in his own sandwiches to consume on the premises , using the establishment ' s toilets without making any purchase and purposely muddying the café floor on the way out , Roy labelled the man as an anarchist who had no respect for the rule of law or for fellow citizens . He was somewhat relieved when Vince next returned to the café and put in a food order to waitress Frankie Baldwin . Believing that progress was being made , Roy was upset to see Vince then tearing a page out of a complimentary newspaper .

At breaking point , he phoned the police to report Vince for " blatantly refusing to adhere to clearly defined establishment rules " . As the café got busier and seeing Roy was nearing the end of his tether , the other customers joined in poking fun and he felt further disappointment and humiliation when the Police Officer assigned to the complaint didn ' t take the matter seriously , instead suggesting that an apology from Vince would be the most appropriate course of action . Things finally came to a head when , during the course of another round of intimidation , Charlie Stubbs realised that Roy was in trouble and sorted out " waste of space " Vince with his fists . He promptly left the area thereafter . List of appearances . 2004 2005
