Store removed tomatoes to protect Palin

A Costco store in Salt Lake City took tomatoes off its shelves last week in preparation for Sarah Palin's Going Rogue book-signing appearance at the store.

A man was arrested on December 7 at a Palin event at a mall in Minnesota, for allegedly throwing a tomato at
the former Alaska governor, and Costco management was "determined" to avoid a repeat.

Helen Rappaport, a Democrat, was browsing the aisles, but she was puzzled as to why she couldn't seem to find any tomatoes.

A store manager informed her that they had been taken off the shelves for a few hours, until the Palin event was over.
