A Pennsylvania man assaulted an employee at a Giant Food Store in New Cumberland because he was upset with the way his groceries were being bagged CBS Philly 3 reported. 55-year-old Bradley A. Bower, 55, was in the checkout line at the grocery store on Feb. 2 when he became upset.

Bower became outraged when a cashier put canned goods in the same grocery bag as chips, smashing the chips, according to police.

Bower asked the cashier to stop bagging his groceries that way and then when he was leaving the store he allegedly told the employee, “Do you have a problem with me? Because I have a problem with you.”

The cashier, who said he believed Bower was kidding, replied: “Do you?”

That’s when Bower grabbed the cashier by the neck and shouted “You idiot!” The cashier told the police he pushed Bower away from him and other employees then stepped in between the pair. Authorities described the 55-year-old man as a 6-ft tall, weighing 250 pounds.

The employee suffered bruising to his neck, police said. When police arrived, they viewed security video from the store and issued a simple assault summons for Bower.

Police say Bower told officers he knew he was in the wrong, but he was having a bad day and his chips being smashed sent him over the edge, CBS affiliate WHP reported.
