A Burbank man was charged Tuesday with punching a 78-year-old Costco shopper who confronted him about taking too many Nutella waffles from a sample cart, authorities said.
Derrick Gharabighi, 24, was at the warehouse store in Burbank on Sunday when he walked over to the Nutella sample station. As the elderly shopper reached out to grab one, Gharabighi snatched all the Nutella samples, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.
“The victim told Mr. Gharabighi that he wanted a sample and he shouldn’t take so many,” Sgt. Claudio Losacco said.
That’s when Gharabighi reportedly punched the man in the face. The man was hospitalized with a one-inch cut and swelling above his left eye, Guillen said.
Gharabighi, a Burbank resident, was arrested and is being held on $50,000 bail, police said.
My friends have been arrested & have gone to the jail in Burbank...they usually release you right away due to overcrowding since it's small anyway lol.
This is the Costco I shop at - it's like 5 minutes from my house...MESS!
