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.    :-)

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

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.   :-)
