M&Ms melt in your mouth, not in your hand, so a man trying to buy a bag had the meltdown instead.

Police in Santa Ana, California, are looking for a suspect who was caught on surveillance camera going on a rampage in a 7-11 after his card was declined.

A newly released surveillance video taken Feb. 11 shows a white male who appears to be in his 30s attempting to buy a 75-cent bag of almond M&Ms.

When the card is declined, the man lunges towards the cashier, hitting him on the noggin, shoving the register off the counter and then pushing everything else he sees.

As he walks towards the door, he throws a handful of bananas at the other clerk’s head and knocks over another terminal.

(snip) As wild as this incident was, the brother of the man who owns the 7-11 thinks it’s part of a bigger problem.

“The country’s polarized right now,” the man told KTTV. “You have a bunch of high-profile people acting out. It doesn’t surprise me this happened.”

I guess I spend too much time in airports. A bag of M&M’s go for a minimum of $2.50, easy there...

Well, I thought the throwing of bananas was just too much overkill.

Such hostility!

$5.00 minimum on all card transactions. The @$$hole took exception. (just guessing)

He went bananas .😀

Oh yes, that’s gotta be the reason...

IOW, Trump's fault.

At least it wasn't a pointed stick.

If his card was declined, I'd guess the store (and by extension, the police) would have the guy's transaction record and thus his identity.

With peels they can put your eye out! ;^}

I think he’s trying to say the feral hominid voted for Hillary.

The man standing behind him in line is totally cool about the whole episode.

In the grand tradition of "Amber Lamps"....

Mos convenience stores hereabouts require a minimum 5.oo purchase to use a credit card. They break even on the charges a little below that. a CC for a .75 bag of chips costs the merchant money even if the make the whole .75 price.

[Simon Green]

IOW, Trump's fault.

What isn't, these days?

The civilization is breaking down pretty rapidly and that sort of thing becomes more common, like school shootings and auntifaye riots.
