HANOVER TOWNSHIP, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) – Gerrity’s Supermarket in Hanover Township was forced to toss out thousands of dollars of merchandise after a customer allegedly coughed on it.
Police say it happened after 2:00 Wednesday afternoon at the store on the Sans Souci Parkway.
The store said the woman coughed on produce, bakery items and meat. Gerrity’s said it has had issues with the woman in the past.
Workers were forced to throw all of the food away out of abundance of caution. It totaled around $35,000.
Hanover Township police say the woman is undergoing a mental health evaluation. They say she will be charged.

Sad but absurd. Aside from the bakery products, the rest could have been submerged in a vat of 3% hydrogen peroxide for a few minutes (use gloves) which can inactivate the virus and then at sold at discount as sanitized or given away. They would be safer then the normal unwashed items. See post #28
Did they hear about UV sanitizers?
It will amount to nothing, she will play the vagina card and nothing major will happen to her.
I can hear the chorus line already:
Family will say that “she has always had mental problems, but when she takes her meds, she is OK-—but she is off her meds.”
A different version of a young punk with a gun.

This kind of thing will lead to grocery shopping along with a government escort.
Give it a week or two before big brother has hired millions of chaperones to keep us all in line.
Wanna stop this crap? Should have cut her tongue out, thrown her in jail, and seized her property.
Just have summary executions of anyone who does this. Get a rope and find the nearest lampost.
In addition to be charged for a felony, they should be forced to pay for the goods.
Too bad I was not close. Would have fed my chickens for a long time. What a WASTE.
Yup, cowboy, western justice. People were more polite too in those days.
There is no longer significant public repercussions for poor behavior, so idiots think they can get away with nearly anything.
Some states don’t allow resale of food packages that were ever biocontaminated, no matter what sanitization methods were applied post-contamination. I would also suspect their corporate guidelines *and* insurance policy does not allow it.
SPJNK.
True, but I was just dealing with the actual reason why they require this.
Did not come up in my search...different source, both of which did not give her name. Wonder why?
