As further proof that people have no filters to their behavior, consider the 24 year old in Burbank, California who punched a 78 year old man Sunday morning at Costco because the older man complained that the younger was helping himself to multiple samples and not leaving any for him:
He faces 11 years in prison if convicted of the assault. (There were witnesses.) Maybe an 11 year sentence would stop others in the future from assaulting people over such trivial things---think so?
I heard of a similar case but it was a 78 year old harrassing a young employee over samples of ice cream when the nearest Sam's Club opened. I remember hearing the same case, the person wanted multiple samples for his non-present grandchildren and the employee said no. After pushing the table into the employee, a manager came and kicked out the elderly person.
Wtf do they have nutella samples? Who the hell doestn know what nutella tastes like?
They offer samples for items that are on sale for a limited time. Costco switches out their inventory pretty regularly so they may not even be selling Nutella next month. Also, a great number of customers in the LA area are from nationalities that traditionally don't use Nutella. Go into the Pasadena store at any given time and you'll find 2/3 of the people are Chinese.
That sound you hear is the furious clicking of the stormfront crowd to determine the race of the perpetrator (and victim) and engage in the premade usual statements mocking black lives matter, thugs, etc. etc.
I'm not surprised. Most Nutella fanatics I know are nutjobs literally. Add me to the list of people who don't like Nutella.
I agree that some of those Costco customers act like pigs when Costco hands out samples. The worst are always those Pizza lovers who act like they are about to eat manna from heaven. Same crap happens when I go to food & wine festivals or cruises.
I think the kid needs to perform community service and anger management courses using the fines he is required to pay and he needs to apologize to the victim. Jail is not the solution.
Furthermore, he needs to be banned from accepting food samples for 10 years.
