A woman in New Jersey is accused of stabbing another woman in the parking lot of a Marshall's on Saturday after a dispute over the movement of speed at the checkout line, police said.

Police said 25-year-old Amber Thompson allegedly threatened to harm the woman in the checkout line.

The victim and her family decided to leave the store on Passaic Avenue and go to their vehicle.

Police said Thompson bought a set of knives, took one out of the packaging and chased the victim down in the parking lot, stabbing her several times.

Police said the victim was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Thompson was found hiding in the bathroom of the Marshalls' with a bloody knife on top of the baby changing station, police said.

Thompson is charged with aggravated assault, unlawful possession of weapons, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and endangering another person.

A Marshalls spokesperson released a statement saying, "We are aware of the incident that occurred in the parking lot outside of our store last week. At Marshalls, the safety and security of our Associates and customers is important to us, and we're grateful for the swift response of the Kearney Police Department. As this is a police matter, we'd respectfully defer any further comment to the Kearney Police Department.'

Having spent ages on line at Marshall’s, only to see some idiot opening a credit card at the only available cashier I’ve can understand the feeling. I’m not saying it’s right- but it get it..

Stabbing someone in response to them taking too long in line. That is completely wrong.

But stabbing someone because they didn't put the cart back in its proper corral? Where it is just debris floating around in the parking lot that someone could crash into or trip over? Where a driver may have difficulty maneuvering out of his or her parking spot because of an improperly abandoned cart? Where a person is so lazy that they would rather commit a public nuisance or eyesore as opposed to just put their cart back appropriately?

Besides, if someone abandons their cart in a disabled parking lot...

So, please don't stab someone for taking too long in the checkout line. But if someone leaves their cart abandoned, I'm not saying you should stab them, but I'm just throwing out there that anything could happen in direct consequence of someone being a lazybones.
