straw that broke the camel's back, phrase
Usually an incident that is not the direct cause for an issue, but something which puts a person's, place's or thing's point of stress past the threshold of causing consequences.
It wasn't the lack of candy sales which caused the drive-in to close; those sales were just the straw that broke the camel's back.
