And you thought your job was dangerous? (I can see it now: Grocery stores--the new setting for Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch.")

We just found one of these at the walmart I work at in the banana's. We caught it but didn't know it was that deadly till I looked it up while on my lunch break. Wow! Freaky!

If I was that store manager I would be scared to death.Many would bite someone that is trying to kill them.They are aggresive and are 5 in long.
