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.

GLORY TO HER HOUSSSSSSE

To all of us who have worked a drive thru before, utterly unsurprised. Of course she was willing to give her life up over a sandwich.

Was she a witch or something?

Jebus. I was gonna make some snark about boomers, but her actions do it all for me. On the upshot, she'll never treat staff like that again!
