Shopping cart claim ends in deli meat/cheese fight

Chris Spags Founder and Editor

Shopping during the holidays can certainly be a stressful experience. Sometimes you can’t get the item you want or sometimes you find yourself fighting for the last toy in the store. And sometimes, when the stars align just right, you fight for possession of a shopping cart and end up fighting a fellow shopper with a salami as they wield a block of cheese.

The fight took place in the western city of Aachen when a 74-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman both laid claim to a shopping trolley on Saturday.

As the pensioner wrestled the cart from the hands of his rival, her 24-year-old brother stepped forward and floored him with a punch.

Together with their 53-year-old mother, the brother and sister then took the trolley into the supermarket. But the OAP came round and followed them to the cheese counter.

He clubbed the younger man with a salami as his mother tried to fend him off with a sharp 4lbs piece of Parmesan.

The pensioner then pushed the woman down on to a glass countertop on which she cracked her head.

While I don’t condone acts of violence over a shopping cart, the old man did start it. Granted, you probably didn’t have to punch the elderly dude in the face or have your mother join in to get the cart away. In fact, you probably could have just held onto the court a little longer and he’d have just died of a heart attack. They could have even used the cheese to clog up his arteries a bit more instead of fighting him with it if they lacked patience. I guess my point is don’t punch the elderly. I know, I’m really going out on a limb with that one.
