Radio Shack Employee Punches Customer

EAU CLAIRE, Wis., Apr. 29, 2009

(AP)  A Radio Shack employee in Eau Claire is facing disorderly conduct and battery charges for punching a customer.

Police say the customer was trying to return an item Sunday, but the employee wouldn't let him. The customer then asked to talk to a manager.

That's when the 52-year-old male employee began punching the man. A bystander called 911.

The employee is due in court May 19.

Maybe he opened up his new computer and found a brick instead.    :-)

Well, RadioShack does advertise that they have a battery for every need.  :uhsure:

The customer was getting too much resistance from the employee and sought someone with greater capacity for understanding the problem.

Perhaps the employee will be inducted into jail??

Look at it this way--at least the customer didn't try to return it to Fry's.  He'd still be there waiting on someone to help him.

But that being said, I hope the injuries WIREn't too serious or that he didn't have to spend time at OHM recovering being inCAPACITORated.

Tensions were clearly high during this electric encounter. I sure hope the former employee can get well-grounded in some anger management classes that the judge will certainly flip the switch on.

At least the perp was properly charged.  Now he'll have to face a circuit judge.   :-)
