Angry Supermarket Customer Puts Cashier In Headlock

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Police in Harrisburg, Pa., are looking for two women after things got nasty at a supermarket checkout counter.

Ask the cashier to call someone else to bring me the missing items.
Go without the forgotten items until next time I shop.

Police said one of the women put a supermarket employee in a headlock after the clerk refused to leave her register to get iced tea and lemonade for the customer.

They said a shopper at a self-checkout lane demanded that the employee retrieve jugs of lemonade and iced tea for her. When the clerk said she couldn't leave her post, the customer began arguing.

Then, police say, a second woman entered the store and told her friend to hurry up. When the first woman explained the clerk wouldn't help her, the second woman jabbed her finger into the clerk's head, struck her in the shoulder and placed her in a headlock.

4. I pity the fool who tries that with me

Grocery store worker here. I put up with so much from rude, obnoxious people. I would welcome a chance to poleaxe one of these *&%$ morons. And it would all be on the security cameras so everyone would know that I didn't start it!

Bring 'em on!
