Belligerent customer pushes young store clerk
An irate customer at Kroger on Spout Springs Road became aggressive toward a store clerk while attempting to buy items, according to an incident report from the Braselton Police Department.
The 19-year-old store clerk said a man became upset while trying to use a self check-out lane at the grocery store. The suspect moved items that he had scanned, along with those yet to be scanned, and went to another register.
The clerk said he went to help the suspect at the register and explained that he would have to rescan the items.
The clerk said the suspect then became upset at him, yelled at him and called him a “punk,” according to an incident report. The suspect was upset that the clerk touched the items that he wanted to purchase.
The suspect got in the clerk’s face, while yelling at him. The suspect forced the clerk to back up to another register, where he couldn’t escape. The suspect continued to yell at the clerk before pushing a cart out of the way and pushing the clerk. The clerk said he swung at the offender when he started to push him.
An officer watched a video of the entire incident and said the clerk didn’t act aggressive toward the suspect at anytime. The video confirmed the clerk’s side of the story, according to an incident report.
