Dispute Over Free Waffles Gets Guy Punched in Face

A 78-year-old man shopping at a California Costco Sunday morning was apparently annoyed when he saw 24-year-old Derrick Gharabighi take more than one of the store's free Nutella waffle samples. The man told Gharabighi he should really only take one ... and, police say, Gharabighi responded by punching him in the face, the Los Angeles Times reports. Gharabighi was charged with elder abuse, ABC 7 reports, and the 78-year-old was hospitalized with a one-inch cut and facial swelling. (More Costco stories.)
