Type: Personal Injury
A Cost Cutter store employee was punched in the mouth after confronting a customer about his body odor. Allegedly, customers complained while the man was in the store. A store employee decided to discuss the “odor” with the man when he returned the next day. The employee wasn’t going to ask him to leave the store, but wanted to make him aware of the complaints. The man snapped, threw a bunch of batteries and punched the worker, causing a minor injury.
