A man allegedly hit another man at a tasting table at Costco in Burbank on Sunday
A 24-year-old man has been charged in connection with punching a 78-year-old shopper in the face after the victim protested about how many samples the man had taken at a Nutella waffle tasting station at a Costco in Burbank, police said.
Derrick Gharabighi, of Burbank, has been charged with felony elder abuse and personal infliction of great bodily injury against a person over 70 years of age, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
The suspect is accused of striking a man in the face Sunday morning when the man told him he shouldn't take so many waffles after the alleged assailant took multiple samples off the table at the Costco at 1051 West Burbank Boulevard, officials said.
The victim suffered a cut above his left eye and swelling around his face and was hospitalized, officials said.
Gharabighi was booked into jail with bail set at $50,000.
It was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney.
This guy sounds like a real hazel nut.
which one
Both, I guess. Would this have happened at a vegenmite samples table?
Sounds Amish..
I guess him mommy didn’t fix his breakfast that day.
certain things some older folk need to kinda clam up on..especially now a day
Maybe he should have had a Snicker’s?
Those sample tables get in the way of carts. Now they are causing assaults. Costco needs to get rid of them now!
No, they don’t need to clam up. The young hipster is in desperate need on an appointment for an attitude re-adjustment with a well-applied Louisville Slugger or 2x4.
As a biker dipshit at 24 (before Navy), I would never have even thought of punching out an old man. Nor did I know even the worse of the biker community think of doing such. It shows them as cowards. Hate how basic decency is all but gone.
What a fag - I would have buried my K-Bar in his ear
"There is no limit on samples. I repeat, there is no limit on samples."
I’m 76...recently a correctional officer at a max security juvie enter...tons of bad asses....had he attacked me, he would have been the recipient of some very special training that we received from the state and he wouldn’t have liked it at all....
He’s an Armo, not an American anyway
This policy is unconstitutional via the ruling of Los Angeles v. Patel. They shouldn’t fold.

I have never hit another person in my life. If this guy had hit my father I would have gone medieval on him. I wouldn’t care if I wound up in jail,
You do not hit an elderly person
You do not hit another person ever. You are supposed to learn that lesson at two or three years of age.
Bet you he’s hit his girlfriends too. It’s not a big stretch of the imagination.
Someone was giving out hot roast beef samples at the local Costco. I walked up to get one, there were five left on the tray, when some jerk guy walked up and snatched up all five. 20 minutes until the next batch. I told him he was rude and he got very angry and defensive.
