Some people apparently just REALLY don't want to be bothered while rushing to get their holiday shopping done. If you're in retail, you might want to think about that the next time you ask a shopper to dig out receipts for the merchandise they're carrying around. Because they might just show you a receipt right across your mush, as happened in the Empire State on Xmas Eve this year (allegedly)...It sounds like 26-year-old Jacquetta Simmons (pictured above) of Batavia, New York was, indeed, in one hell of a hurry on Saturday. First, in order to bypass the long lines at the front-of-the-store registers, Simmons reportedly bought a bevy of electronics stuff back in that very department. So then it was smooth sailing all the way to the parking lot, right? Wrong.
Cops says that as Simmons tried to leave the store with a male friend, one of those damn pesky old codger Walmart greeters asked to check the receipt on the goods. Apparently taking deep, deep offense to the greeter's highly overbearing request, Simmons allegedly lost her temper and then some...
Rather than producing the requested receipt, Simmons allegedly sized up the 70-year-old greeter (named Grace Suozzi) and proceeded to clock her one right the damn kisser! The old greeter geezer was reportedly knocked to the ground and suffered a fracture to the side of her face.Simmons and her friend next allegedly tried to flee the store faster than, well, a Walmart greeter typically checks a customer receipt. The duo reportedly made it their car alright before getting boxed in by a crowd of angry shoppers so that they couldn't leave.
Cops busted Simmons' hurried ass on assault charges and tossed her in the hoosegow, where she spent Xmas day. And to think: If Simmons could have just mustered up the time to produce her receipt, she would have been Scot free...
That's because cops say Simmons wasn't trying to shoplift anything and (in fact) did have a receipt that covered all electronics items in her bag. And given that she's likely now facing time in the can, those may just have been some of the most expensive DVD's ever purchased.
