Florida woman goes on rampage after storeowner won’t exchange dollar bills for her jar of coins

 

This past Monday, a woman became furious with a storeowner when he declined to exchange dollar bills for her jar of coins. Surveillance video shows the woman aggressively pointing at the owner of the A Plus Food Mart in Mt. Dora, Florida before knocking items off the counter. As News 13 reports, the outburst only got worse from there.

The owner, who was not named, says that he tried explaining to the woman, also unnamed, that he didn’t have time to sort through her jar of change. She got frustrated and knocked items off his counter. He followed her outside his business and says the angry woman was screaming racial slurs and threatening to kill him. But that isn’t the worst thing that she did

Danya Bennett was sitting outside the A Plus Food Mart at the time with her daughter, seven-year-old Kami. Kami told News 13, “We was just sitting here minding our own business and he told us to call the police,” and, “Her crazy.” Ms. Bennett told the station, “[The storeowner’s] saying she tore up my store, call 911, something’s wrong with her.” When the woman took a swinging punch at the owner, she missed and hit someone else. Little Kami says, “When she was trying to swing at him she hit me.” That’s right, the woman allegedly hit a seven-year-old.

News 13 writes that Kami has a bruise on her face and that she said she’s suffering from nightmares. Her mother told the station, “I’d like to see justice served, it’s aggravated assault and I’d like to see her behind bars.” Mt. Dora Police say they are reviewing the case and that the investigation remains open

Video: KFC debuts chicken drumstick corsage…no, really!

It’s a rite of passage for many, and KFC wants to be there.

The fried chicken purveyor has debuted the first (to our knowledge) chicken drumstick corsage to add a little poultry to the prom this year.

Source: KFC.com

For just $20, buyers will receive a corsage kit from a Louisville, Ky. florist, which includes a $5 KFC gift card that can be used for a drumstick of one’s choice—Extra Crispy, Kentucky Grilled Chicken or Original Recipe. (The site advises whichever best matches the dress. We suggest whatever’s least greasy.)

Act fast, though, because only 100 corsages are available.

Caveat emptor: KFC’s video for the promotion depicts a young man leaning in for the kiss during a slow dance. His date leans in too … but for some bites of chicken.

German shop accidentally sells mugs decorated with picture of HITLER

Furniture store in Bielefeld, Germany sold the Hitler mugs in error

They feature an image of the Nazi leader alongside flowers and poetry

5,000 mugs were made in Chinese factory, which has since apologised 

German shop staff didn’t notice the design until selling 175 of them

They are now offering a £15 coupon to anyone who returns the mugs

Selling items featuring an image of Hitler is banned in modern Germany

 

A German furniture store is offering £15 gift vouchers to customers who return mugs that the company sold decorated with roses and poems – next to the photograph of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

The sale of anything featuring the former Fuehrer is strictly forbidden in modern-day Germany and can be punishable with severe fines.

But the Hitler-decorated mugs somehow crept into the stock of the Zurbrueggen home improvement store in the city of Bielefeld – which remains a base for the British army in Germany to this day.

Error: The Third Reich-era Hitler stamp is printed between petals and poetry on the mug’s decoration, and is not immediately obvious. The store is now offering a gift voucher to any customer who returns one of the mug

The Hitler decoration on the mugs – which were made in China – came in the form of an old 30 pfennig stamp with a swastika postmark over it.

It is not immediately obvious what is depicted on the stamp, although Hitler is unmistakable under closer scrutiny.

I thought I wasn’t seeing too well when I saw I had Hitler sitting down to breakfast with me,’ said Agner Teewald, who bought one of the mugs for her morning coffee at her home in nearby Herford.

The company spoke of a ‘pretty stupid amalgam of unfortunate circumstances’ which led to the Nazi mugs going on sale.

Christian Zurbrueggen, the owner and managing director of the store, says an investigation is underway to discover how the face of Hitler made its way on to the ceramics.

The stamp is printed between petals and poetry and is not detectable with a cursory glance.

Now the store is offering a gift voucher to any customer who returns one of the mugs.

The Chinese factory that made them produced 5,000 total, although only 175 actually sold – all for less than £3 each.

The remaining 4825 cups have already been destroyed.

Now the store is offering the voucher in a bid to get back the 175 out of a batch of 5000 made in China mugs that were actually sold. They were sold for less than three pounds each.

Mr Zurbrueggen also apologised profusely and called the incident ‘truly terrible.’

He said the mugs were loaded so quickly on to company shelves that no store workers noticed the ‘embarrassing error.’

The Chinese factory responsible has also apologised and promised a full investigation
