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.

In matters of taste.

Not in every single way... I hate how the twisting of this phrase has resulted in abuse of an entire sectors workforce.

Sorry you were one of them too :(

    we just need to normalize saying the whole thing.

    "The customer is always right in matters of taste."
    "The customer is always right in matters of taste."
    "The customer is always right in matters of taste."

    The customer is certainly not right if they're assaulting someone.

    That in matters of taste bit was added recently, started circulating on tiktok. There's no evidence of it being part of the original saying.
