I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

Not much to the article. A Radio Shack employee lost it and started punching a customer after the customer asked to speak to the manager over a disputed return.

Well, it was a pretty good punchline.

I wonder if the employee got to punch out or was he told to just leave?

While I don't condone his actions, I can certainly understand them.

I just couldn't bring myself to write that in pun form, sorry.

Back in Colorado Springs I used to frequent one Radio Shack exclusively, because they had a man working there named Regis. He was a tiny Greek man with a hilarious speech impediment which forced him to pronounce his own name as Wegis.

I always suspected he could be a serial killer.

I thought this would be somehow making fun of that crappy 80's movie batteries not included.

I'm sure it happens much more often than it's reported.

Trust me, I've worked at a Radio Shack.

Anytime someone says "trust me", I'm inclined to not give another ounce of worth to their opinion. It's like a big ******* sign that says "kick me in teh ****, I'm prepared for it".

Beating your customers is part of the American dream.

I've worked in retail. There is part of anyone who has worked with the public in such a capacity that has wished at least once, they'd been able to beat the **** out of a customer.

Every employee should be able to lash out once a day, but only after handling a 8 realy annoying customers.

There should be a giant tally chart on tha wall with the amount of customers dealt with by each employee.

You could then point out that you have 7 bad customers already and does this next little old lady want to mess with you.
