German Shoppers in Trolley Battle [NEWS]

In our first Parmesan cheese-related post we travel to Germany, with news that two German supermarket shoppers have been hospitalized after a fight over a trolley that had been left outside.


According to the police who intervened during the battle, the pair (consisting of an elderly man aged 74 and a young woman aged 35) involved have since been sent to hospital with minor injuries. Sources state that things kicked off when the man and the woman both had their eyes on the same desirable trolley. After some verbal sparring, the young woman's brother punched the old man, knocking him over.

Despite being knocked down, the elderly gentleman refused to give up, and it was then that the man followed the couple inside before mustering the courage to confront them by the cheese counter, equipped with a 4lb chunk of Parmesan. The elderly gentleman pushed the 35 year old shopper against a glass counter, causing her injuries to the head.
