What would have been the best solution is for the Store Manager to have to deal with a lunatic lurking around the kids all by himself. That way I could find out if he'd go the knife route, or the gun route. That's a great thing for the kids, I think.
Calm down there buddy. Beating the crap out of a father of two for taking some extra lettuce is a sign of mental stability? I respect the work and effort of our law enforcement officers, though in this case they're well over the line.

I'm sure that the few cents that the salad bar might have cost the resturant was a lot less than the bad publicity this whole incident has/will cause...
