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.

    ‘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?

      After being treated for congestive heart failure, no less. I’m sure her doctor probably told her to stay away from fast food and stressful situation!

          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.

          I would bet money on it. A lot of traumatic brain injuries or degeneration can just look like someone being an unhinged jerk.

            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.

            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.

          She could have been, but that doesn’t excuse her actions, unless maybe it was totally uncontrollable (like Tourette syndrome) and she was doing everything she could to get help and fix it. If you’re not trying to change it then that’s just who you are, and if it’s something that could be changed then you’re just an asshole.

      especially a Tim Hortons sandwich. They could make the sandwich completely “right” and perfect and I’d still be upset because I decided eating something, anything, from Tims was a good idea.
