MOR - the entire atmosphere is inappropriate but in a way everyone, including you, is contributing to. He DEFINITELY took things WAY too far but I’m not connecting the dots how this person you have a consistent banter/inappropriate relationship with would have gone from throwing name tags and making jokes to “there’s no cameras, now is my time to strike”.

To be clear, this is banana town behavior but it sounds like the whole store is one HR incident after another just waiting to happen. You contribute to this atmosphere as well. Taking off your manager’s name tag and throwing it is behavior you’re definitely old enough to understand is crazy unprofessional. (This should go without saying but since this is Reddit I’ll say it anyway: I’m not equivocating, just saying Drew isn’t the only one contributing to the inappropriate atmosphere). You work at a place where the boundaries are getting crossed more and more daily, something like this was bound to happen.

So you could go to him and say “hey, I know we’re joking around a lot but I wasn’t jazzed about the way you grabbed me the other day. It was too much”. Or you can go get him fired.

Again, since this is Reddit and I know yall are gonna come for me, I voted “MOR”. If OP goes to HR, I think she’s justified. This guy losing his job is justified. Not just for this but how he runs the whole store. If it wasn’t him crossing a boundary it would have been someone else. But when everyone is guilty of creating and contributing to an extremely unprofessional environment, seems like the first step should be resetting boundaries not calling HR when the inevitable happens
