An enraged customer punched a female store clerk in the face after becoming belligerent over only 41 cents.

The customer was trying to pay for a $1.41 cigar at a Lakewood, CA., Conoco gas station earlier this month with just a $1 bill when he became enraged after being told he needed the other 41 cents, causing him to bash the 23-year-old clerk in her face.

Police still have yet to find the suspect and are asking for the public’s help identifying him.

“More interesting that we need to go to the UK, and (in some cases) Russia to find out what’s really happening in our own country. “

Reminds me years ago a UK citizen who was residing here in the states called up to the Rush Limbaugh show, complaining that he had to read his UK hometown newspapers to better learn what was going on in Washington. American newspapers pretty much kept him in the dark.
