Walmart Shopper Pulls Gun Over Rejected Coupons

If you find your local Walmart cashiers getting anxious at the sight of your coupon binder, there's a good reason -- they could be afraid of what you'll do if and when there's a coupon denied.

Apparently an extremely dedicated couponer in Florida pulled a gun on Walmart personnel last week after they turned down one of her printable coupons.

Here's what we know so far:

The Smoking Gun reports that Walmart shopper Mary Frances Alday became irate when a manager refused to let her use printable coupons during check-out, claiming it was against Walmart's coupon policy.

That's not true, by the way -- Walmart's coupon policy specifically allows printable coupons.  In fact, it's the very first thing the policy says!  

However, that totally doesn't excuse Ms. Alday's response, which included obscenities and pushing a shopping cart into the manager.

When she was escorted from the store by loss prevention employees, Ms. Alday allegedly said, "If you follow me, I have something in my car for you."  She then got a handgun out of her car and waved it at the employees, who understandably called police.

I am dying to know exactly what coupon triggered this meltdown, but unfortunately the police report doesn't have that information -- probably because the police officers called to the scene had to tase Ms. Alday after she resisted arrest.

She's now been charged with battery (for the shopping cart) plus four counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
