This is why they sell candy and gum in the checkout line, usually not weapons.
A woman in New Jersey is facing charges after a slow checkout line prompted her to buy a KNIFE, and STAB the customer in front of her.
It happened on Saturday at a Marshalls in Kearny, New Jersey, just outside New York City. The two women got into an argument in line, because one of them thought the other was too slow.
25-year-old Amber Thompson was behind the victim, who was with her family. The argument apparently got pretty heated.
According to police, Amber bought a set of kitchen knives, removed one from the box, pursued the woman in the parking lot, and stabbed her multiple times.
Thankfully, the woman will be okay. She showed up at a hospital with several puncture wounds to her torso, but cops say they were all “superficial.”
It’s not clear if Amber already had the knives in her cart, or went back to get them after the argument. But she did apparently pay for them first.
Cops arrested her for aggravated assault.
