LOWELL, Mass. ? Don't try to slip in that extra head of lettuce when you're in the express check-out line in Lowell, Mass.

That's where a 51-year-old local woman became perhaps the world's first victim of supermarket rage Sunday when she brought 13 items into the 12-items-or-fewer lane, police said.

Now the suspect, 38-year-old Karen Morgan, is on the loose after failing to appear for her arraignment on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon Monday.

The victim, who asked not to be identified, told WCVB News that she didn't know she brought too many items into the express line at Market Basket when Morgan stopped her.

"There was a woman behind me and she said, 'Oh, some people don't know how to count.' And I said, I just questioned her, and I said, 'Oh, do you have a problem with me?' And she said yes, and started swearing and cussing me out," the victim said.

After leaving the grocery, the victim realized Morgan was following her.

"I said, 'Really, could you just leave me alone?'" the victims said. "And then she just brutally attacked me. She grabbed me by my hair, pulled me to the ground, kneed me in my stomach, and I was on the ground and she kicked me on my head and on my side and I got all scratched up. She drew blood."

The victim got her attacker's license plate number and gave it to police, who traced the license plate to Morgan.

Morgan has a history of missing court appearances for check larceny, police said.

No - two of the cans will probably be empty

 

[Lars]

some people ...

 

[pyonir]

my foot is a dangerous weapon? hmmm good luck getting a jury to agree with that.

 

[amdskip]

I know where this chick is coming from, I hate it when people bring 30 items through a 20 item line!!!

 

[ThaGrandCow]

good lord... what a psycho bitch

 

[gopunk]

i hope she doesn't have any children!

 

[ChrichtonsGirl]

Sounds like someone forgot to take her little blue pills with the "V" on them that morning. WTH is going on with some people (that's a strictly rhetorical question)?

 

[swayinOtis]

why was her foot a dangerous weapon? long toenails? bunions? fungus?

this is one reason i love those self-check outs (u pay) at my local kroger. i don't have to bother with some psychotic cashier with pms.

Once, at PooperWalmart, when the lines were really long - and we all know how long they can be...

I was waiting in the express isle line - 10 items or fewer - with my 12 pack of Maxfli golf balls trying to make a tee-time 20 minutes from then. This little 5-year-old kid was standing in front of me with a candy bar. There were about 4 people in front of us. Then right when it was the 5-year-old kid's turn, his fat b|tch of a mother comes up with a cart filled to the brim with about 50 items with her other 3 kids. I politely reminded her that this was the express line for 10 items or fewer..

And get this.. She shouted back at me that each of her kids can have up to 10 items...

So then I said that only one of her kids was standing in line... and she yells (in front of her kids - ages 1-5 mind you):

"What the fvck is your problem?! Why are you being such a prick? Shut the hell up!" and then she proceeds to push me out of the way with her fat ass.. Then, on top of that, after the first 10 items are rang up, she writes a check.. Then she writes another..

Then the clerk says, "Mam, just lemme ring them all up so you can pay with one check."

It didn't end there.. After I finally finish and start walking back to my car.. In that HUGE FVCKING POOPERWALMART parking lot, she just happened to be parked right accross from me. She's about finished loading her stuff and loading herself and also her fat ass into her poor van.. She starts her van about the same time I started my car, backs up, then idles her van while it is sitting right behind my car.. I swear I almost lost it..

So I decided to go back and open my trunk.. She's still sitting behind my car, btw.. then I get back in my car and load some Dr. Greenthumb by Cypress Hill in my CD player... cranked my subs as high as I knew they would go.. This was high enough to vibrate all her windows on her van.. Then I sat eating beefjerky in my car for about 3 minutes until she finally drove off..

I didn't lose it - but now I totally understand the people that do. When I think about it, I should have played Westside Connection instead - or some ICP..

I feel bad for her kids..

 

[kamiam]

Perfect song to play, Chicken Huntin' by ICP, stupid fat redneck bitch.

I was in line once at a local BB and this guy with twins was in my line, and this fat ass lady with screaming kids was in the other, now in our BB the lanes face each other, so this lady leaves her EMPTY cart in front of this guy so he cannot proceed in line, so when it gets his turn he's being really polite and trying to get around her cart and fat ass when they behind her steps up and moves her cart out of the way so the guy can pass (she saw him trying to get past mind you) so she turns around and starts bitching at this poor guy saying "wtf are you doing? Don't push a$$hole, my purse is in that cart and everyone can just wait till I am done dammit." so the guy just stands there dumbstruck and everyone is staring at her like "what a bitch" when the store manager, whom just happened to be sitting there, walks over to her and tells her he thinks her business would best be suited for the nearest Wal-Mart and proceeds to politely give her instructions while ushering her out.

At first glance the story that started this thread seems pretty harsh, and likely is, but I can definitely see how someone could be enough of a bastard about something to prompt a severe beating....
