PALM BAY, Fla. — A Palm Bay man has been charged with punching an elderly Walmart greeter who asked to see the man's receipt as he was leaving the store.
Police say 23-year-old Skyler Lowery was walking through the exit at the Palm Bay store Saturday morning when the alarm went off. The 69-year-old employee asked to see Lowery's receipt. Lowery showed the receipt quickly and kept walking, and the greeter followed Lowery outside.

Police say Lowery grabbed the greeter's clipboard and tore up a paper, then punched the employee in the head before a second worker intervened.
Lowery was arrested and charged with battery. He was being held on $5,000 bail.
You know, I wouldn't have gone to such means to get my point across but I know exactly where Skyler Lowery is coming from. You know how much of a hassle it is when your in a hurry to have to stop and let some octagenarian or dim person rifle through my basket and assault my receipt with a highlighter. I know you feel your status in the world has taken a hit since all other major employers have labeled you useless but don't try and regain your dignity by bogging me down.
P.S. - Actually beating a 70-year-old man is pretty bad.
