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.

“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

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Her medical history, combined with this behavior, if anything seems to lean towards her just having anger issues for a really long time.

    There's also no evidence this is an event of psychosis. She was fully aware of her surroundings and events, as she knew why she was angry. The only evidence I see of her likely dying was an adrenal response because it is not that easy to rip out hair, especially at that age. And even that's a stretch - most likely she already had clotting issues and a weak heart, and the anger finished her off.

    "The customer is always right."

    As someone who once worked retail, I hate that fucking statement.

    Thats because the full quote is always cut off. The original quote is "The customer is always right in matters of taste", which is true. Its just been co-opted to justify psychotic customers.

    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.

    As a person who worked in retail, and managed and owned retail shops, I never allowed that nonsense to rule my stores.

    Especially when I own it, that shop is my Kingdom, and I am the Emperor. What I say goes, and the very LAST person that makes decisions in my shop is the customer, and I am not at all afraid to say that directly to a customers face, and I have.

    I have opened a shop with the product I have created, and I ALLOW you to enter and partake. If you can't appreciate the access to my product, and behave accordingly, your access to that product will end, and you will NEVER experience it again.

    Do not EVER tell me "the customer is always right" in MY own shop. You enter at MY pleasure, and I don't care what you want.
