'A man has been charged for criminal damage and public order offences in Manchester.

'Jason Codner (born 09/12/69), of Cannon Green Court, Salford has been charged with section 5 public order offence and criminal damage.

'He is due to appear at Salford and Manchester Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 30 July 2012.

'At 4.25pm on Saturday 30 June 2012, police were called to T Mobile store on Market Street in Manchester City Centre to reports of an aggressive customer.

'A 42-year-old man got into a verbal altercation with members of staff and started to damage items in the store.'

Did you see the face on that first copper to arrive? Looked like he was wearing a pig mask!

Having had to deal with T-Moble on behalf of my daughter a couple of years ago I can't say I blame the bloke. Absolute bunch of twunts.

Well that was a bit st - no rage face or anything. Also sad that the general public no longer step in.

Good co2 fail, too - the daft ste.

Completely agree, not to mention the staff who just stood back and let it happen.

I'd not get battered on £5.50 an hour.

Exactly, plus there's the risk of having a knife stuck in you or the police arresting you too for trying to defend your workplace etc

To be honest, I can understand why people feel the way the chap in the video felt having experienced customer service in the UK

I've suffered some bad customer service, but never enough to make me slowly walk around, half heartedly pulling point of sale off the wall. Maybe my anger levels are spastic.

I wondered how long it would be before someone said that, you beat even my wildest predictions!

There's no way that I'd be risking getting battered by him for the money they're on, he seemed fairly calm but I wouldn't have liked to see what he did if he properly flipped...

Yeah because you'd step in for minimum wage, too. And the very real possibility of getting fired for having most likely contradicted company policy by doing so.

Bizarre. Did anyone else find the observing, cheering chav horde outside slightly depressing?

I went to school with him!

Given how well the customer service is from that whole group, (T-Mobile/Orange/Virgin Mobile), I'm not surprised somebody has been pushed that far. They ignore Credit limits, take money without warning and generally the Call centres are dire. They never respond and complaints letters disappear into the either. Well deserved I'd say.

[The Wookie]

Just one dropped call too far

Meanwhile the police remain baffled by the continuing mystery of pork pies disappearing from the police canteen.

Yep, gormlessly standing around recording it all with their phones.

Well without them recording, there would be nothing for us to watch? Are we not as bad for providing an audience for their footage?

Possibly, and I agree, however the sheer number of spectators, cheering and general scent of feral yoot brought to mind the August riots.

We'll have less cops for the next ones...

Well I'm perfectly happy not to see some nutter breaking up a shop. Not things I go looking for whenever I'm on Youtube, it has to be said. So in answer to your question I don't think we're as bad as providing an audience.

I was told when I worked in retail, "The stock is insured and replaceable. You are not."

But you clicked on this thread to see what it was about, then you watched the video clip.... so you're part of the audience?

It's like complaining about the tut published by tabloids... people condemn it, but at the same time buy them to read it.
