Associated Press:

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. - A Radio Shack employee faces disorderly conduct and battery charges for punching a customer. Police said 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.

I can only assume that somebody was already on the razor's edge between making quota and getting fired...

52 years old and being belittled by a stupid customer who can't return some $5 item. I can see it happening.

If only he had grabbed a multipack of AA's and smacked them with it - then you would have had battery battery

He'll probably get away with it. Radio Shack batteries are never fully charged.

Ah Radio Shack: You've got questions, we've got blank stares.

Hmm. I'm not sure this is an isolated incident:

I work for the Shmack and folks they are DESPARATE.

I'm REALLY glad this job isn't my bread and butter, because they are pushing associates harder than ever to get wireless and now email addresses for their database.

Screw it. I'm on the night shift and people buy from me because they like me and can BS for 45 minutes about gadgets.
THAT'S how MY numbers come in, wizkids in Fort Worth.

RS can fire me under the terms of "at will employment" for all I care.

-as for THIS guy? He's an ass and should have walked away. Period.
