There are many reasons to be careful about food safety - recalls and contamination with bacteria sure seem fairly common these days - but it turns out, there's another menace lurking in grocery stores...
People.
Yesterday as I was scanning the news, a headline caught my attention:
Woman Wanted For Urinating On Potatoes At Pennsylvania Walmart, Police SayPolice released surveillance images of the woman on their website. Today, it was announced that the woman turned herself in:
According to police, the woman is accused of urinating on a bin of potatoes after entering the store. She left soon after.Thankfully, employees spotted the urine, cleaned and sanitized the area, and tossed out the potatoes.
Police identified that woman as Grace Brown. She is now being charged with criminal mischief, open lewdness, disorderly conduct, and public drunkness. She is awaiting a preliminary hearing. (source)
This, unfortunately, is not the only recent case of someone tampering with food in a store.
