Tl;dr: 75-yo old woman attacks the employees over a sandwich, rips hair from one of them, put that hair in her purse, calls the police and dies.
At that point, two other employees intervened, and as they were pulled apart, a “chunk of hair” was pulled from the shift lead’s head, “leaving a raw area.”
Once separated, the employees got behind the counter and Grayson sat down, taking a phone call. She was seen picking up the shift lead’s hair and putting it in her bag, police said.
I’ll beat her stupid ass, you should consider this a legitimate threat, I’m more than close enough, use some of those resources you don’t want to.
Medical records obtained by investigators after her death showed she had recently been treated for congestive heart failure, hypertension, shortness of breath, and other complaints related to cardiovascular issues.
But not “being a cunt”, so I guess that was her decision, not a medical condition.
Seriously, who curses at minimum-wage teenage workers doing their jobs and physically attacks them!? The world is a slightly better place now…
I wanna save this meme but it’s so niche 😂 especially since I don’t live in the south anymore.
miserable people who are dying of health issues and whose daily life nothing but despair and pain.
that’s who.
my dad was the same way as this lady. spend the last 5 years of his life slowly dying and taking it out on other people.
Man that’s awful, I feel for you. My dad spent the last five years of his life fighting for every gulp of air in miserable pain and took it out on absolutely no one. Well, unless he happened to see someone park in a handicapped spot without a sticker. Then there was hell to pay.
wow cool. your dad was better than my dad.
too bad I didn’t get a choice of what kind of dad to have. Nobody does.
Kinda seems like you’re following in your dad’s footsteps
To each their own, though
Oh, did my comment make you feel personally assaulted and attacked?
Why is it whenever I see your comments you’re being a little pants pisser. I just do not understand what your problem is. You must be the most miserable person I’ve ever seen on lemmy.
my problem is that you read my comments, clearly.
No, I just saw someone who said their dad was a miserable asshole reply to someone with a very “I’m a miserable asshole” energy.
So, be happy that your dad would be proud of you. You’re a chip off the old block.
I dont know, out of everyone involved, you seem the most like a miserable old cunt taking shit out on other people with your nasty, undeserved, unwarranted comment.
Projections a hell of a drug, I guess.
You’ll get that elusive reading comprehension some day, maybe.
Gotta keep trying though. Don’t give up.
I wish you would give up this trite and boring exercise.
Is “taking it out on other people” the same as physically attacking them? Because she could have killed these young people if they hadn’t defended themselves and banded together. She might have snuffed out their entire lives because she felt shitty!
I genuinely feel bad for your dad and for this lady. It’s terrible and it’s unfair. But, like anyone dealing with something chronic, it’s also their responsibility to manage. If they can’t, they have no business being in society with other people…
just because it’s their responsibility to manage it doesn’t mean they can manager it. or their loved ones can.
do you think we should lock everyone up who is dealing with physical and mental problems that may overwhelm them? throw my dad in jail because what, he’s in so much pain and depression that he can’t think straight?
what about my mom who had dementia? oh right, well yeah we did put her in ‘jail’ in a full time care facility, but it also cost us $12,000/mo.
do you think we should lock everyone up who is dealing with physical and mental problems that may overwhelm them? throw my dad in jail because what, he’s in so much pain and depression that he can’t think straight?
If they’re going around attacking people yeah. People like that need to be handled, not allowed to go around inflicting themselves on everyone else. It sucks but minimum wage workers aren’t trained or compensated to be carers for the mentally unwell.
She may have behaved rudely, but nobody should be getting beaten to death for being rude.
She wasn’t beaten to death for being rude. She attacked a manager for telling her to leave after berating a 17 year old employee. She punched the manger in the face, yanked her to the ground by the hair and continued punching her while on the ground. The manager only got away after the chunk of hair she was being held by was ripped out of her scalp.
She died from a heart attack because she started a fight with a 20 year old girl while having congestive heart failure. The manager even brought her a cup of water to a person who just assaulted her because they were worried about them.
how about you read the actual goddamn article before commenting?
She wasn’t. Read the summary or my comment if you’re not going to read the article.
“This is a heartbreaking situation for everyone involved and especially for Ms. Grayson’s family,” the Allen County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said in an update on the case Friday.
And not especially heart breaking for the employee who got their hair ripped put by a psycho and then had to watch that psycho doe and then live for months under the threat of having to go to jail for being attacked?
I’d say the cunt is fine, the family likely is relieved she’s gone, I feel for the basic income employee
‘There is no audio, but the employees told investigators Grayson slammed her food on the counter and made an expletive-laced demand for a refund, accusing staff of making her sandwich “wrong on purpose,” according to the report released last week.’
Well, I have no idea how Anita Grayson lived, but i know how that bitch died. Who treats staff like this? Over a fucking sandwich?
Clearly unhinged, world is a slightly better place now.
She could have been sick. She WAS 75.
Yea this feels like the “kid on plane wouldn’t sit down” again, where no one on Lemmy actually knows the full story but rushes to judgment regardless.
I would bet money on it. A lot of traumatic brain injuries or degeneration can just look like someone being an unhinged jerk.
Yeah, I stopped watching videos of Karen’s because, while I’m sure some are merely overprivileged, a lot of them come across as genuinely mentally ill.
100% correct. Back in the late 70s/early 80s I had an uncle, technically my grandmothers brother. He’d never married and she was widowed so they shared a house together. In retrospect, I think he was probably a closeted gay man.
Anyway, All through my young years he was a very kind and generous man. Smart too. He bought a Commodore home computer when they first came out and let me play games on it. He used it to write up a family history of everything he knew about our family’s past. He also make a cookbook of all my grandmother’s recipes. He printed both of those out and gave a copy to every household in the family. He had a shocking level of technological aptitude for a 60ish year old man in the early 80s.
Then one day he changed. I was young and nobody told me exactly what it was. Maybe a stroke or something. From that day on he was as mean as a snake. He’d rip into anyone over anything. Not violently, I don’t think, anyway. But he’d scream and swear and slam things and be generally viscous. It was as if my uncle just died and was replaced by a scary, mean old-man who looked just like him.
While this woman may have been a bitch all her life, I’ve known plenty of healthy, young people who were no better than this. She might also have been emotionally disturbed and no longer the person that she was. Without more information, we’ll never know.
WHO ASSAULTED SOMEONE WHO WAS PROTECTING THEMSELVES
Funny how all you hand wringing creative writers are trying so desperately to leave that part out and invent some fictional narrative that she was a kind, sweet woman who was ravaged by undiagnosed psychosis that no one has any evidence of.
I never said she was a sweet woman. I said mental illness MAY have been the cause of her abusive nature. And you don’t know it isn’t any more than I do, you stupid assclown.
mental illness that you have NO EVIDENCE of.
You are sitting here desperately trying to pull an AI hallucination to invent scenarios that fit the prompt you want.
Actually, no I’m not. I guess you struggle with reading comprehension.
Probably be seeing you in your own video soon.
Sure buddy.
That really sounds to me like there was some underlying health issue and the customer lost absolute control of herself as she succumbed to it.

Elderly woman has a total breakdown due to medical condition and somehow that’s not the headline. This could be a real conversation about how elder care and how maybe it isn’t a great idea to have the elderly in charge of things unless they’re under constant medical supervision. Instead the top comment is “over fucking a sandwich- what a bitch!” Anita Grayson may have lived like a saint for all we know. At least, up until her body breaking down causes psychosis - which can happen to literally any one of us.
What a fucking stupid society.
Well in this particular case, the granddaughter came out and said she was a total bitch all her life, so… maybe it wasn’t psychosis in this case?
Source for that? I can only find some statements from the daughter.
Okay thats hilarious.
I hope the funeral wasn’t honoring her life, but roasting the shit out of her
There is literally nothing in the article about psychosis.
You are writing prose based on nothing but your desire to muddy the water and refusal to believe someone old cant be a fucking aggressive asshole just because they are simply an asshole.
And let me tell you, Plenty of young, aggressive assholes grow into old aggressive assholes who are still convinced they can slap people around and get what they want, like they did with their children when they were 4.
Except the part where the lady died. That was a hint. People who are actively dying rarely behave “normally”.
Yes, why wont we have any sympathy for the poor woman. Those dirty employees should have just taken her verbal and physical abuse. HAVE THEY NO RESPECT FOR THEIR BETTERS?!
SHE WOULDNT HAVE DIED IF YOU’D HAVE JUST LET HER BEAT YOU, YOU PEASANT! 😭
It must be so exhausting to put words in people’s mouths then tell them those words are wrong. You should take a break. You earned it.
and yet you are here, still briming with energy.
She died doing what she loved
Karening to the max

Didn’t the elderly woman have a history of violence\belligerence against family and the public? Or do I have my stories crossed up?
