    Thumbs up James Knol Punched Customer At Radio Shack



    A worker at Radio Shack was arrested for punching a customer.

    Officers arrested 52-year-old James Knol of Eau Claire on Sunday night for disorderly conduct and battery.

    According to the police report, 56-year-old Leigh Carey was trying to return something at the Radio Shack on Clairemont Avenue.

    Carey told investigators Knol wouldn't let him, so he asked to talk to a manager.

    That's when he says Knol started punching him and a witness called 911.

    It's Radio Shack, working there would be enough to put me over the edge.

    No kidding, but geez all the guy wanted was to return something. Do these guys work on commission? Probably and that meant a slim paycheck for Knol I bet.

    When I was just a dumb teenager working retail, there was many a time I would have loved to beat the living piss out of a customer just for making my life difficult.

    Fantasizing about it was enough for me, though. I would bet my life that there's a lot more going on here than an isolated customer-employee incident. Straw that broke the (weird-ass bullfrog-looking) camel's back, and all that.

    They do get some small commission at Radio Shack but people are frustrated because of the low level of retail job pay and high price of living. It's hard to get hours at Radio Shack they would rather hire part-time people and not have to pay benefits.

    Retail is one of the hardest things to do and one of the most thankless.

    I happen to know Carey. He's been punched many times before this incident, and righteously so.
