Deli debacle

A female employee at the Clarion Wal-Mart deli counter was grabbed by the hair, drug across a floor and struck repeatedly in the neck with a keychain over 15 cents worth of lunchmeat, according to police.

Police said a known female approached the counter at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday and asked for $2 worth of lunchmeat. When the lunchmeat order came to $2.15 and the clerk asked if that was too much, the customer became enraged and the incident ensued, police said.

I guess it is like driving or anything else, it is just bad manners. While shopping at Wal Mart the other day, simply navigating the aisles was a nightmare because that is where people:

• Socialize with friends they haven't seen for at least a day
• Talk on their cell phones while their cart is parked in the MIDDLE of the aisle
• Allow their children to run wild, and force you to put on your cart brakes to avoid impact
• Stand and look at a section of products for half an hour, and when people are behind them, and OBVIOUSLY want to grab something from that section, refuse to move over
• Refuse to stay on their side of the street (aisle)

I wish people would simply just have some respect for fellow shoppers, or just exercise some good manners and common courtesy.
