Indiana woman, 75, dies after fighting Tim Hortons manager over drive-thru order issue
NY Post ^ | 5/20/26 | Richard Pollina

A 75-year-old Indiana woman died after she flew into a rage over her Tim Hortons order, took a swing at the manager and ripped out a chunk of her hair in the brawl that followed.

Anita Grayson stormed into the Tim Hortons in Fort Wayne — about 120 miles outside Indianapolis — just after 8 a.m. on May 13, and berated a 17-year-old female worker when she was upset about her drive-thru order, according to the Fort Wayne Police Department.

Surveillance footage released by the department captured Grayson pointing and shouting at the worker as the coffeehouse’s 20-year-old shift manager stepped in and told her to leave.

Police alleged that the supervisor touched Grayson when the furious customer stepped toward the young worker.

Grayson allegedly pushed the manager and punched her on the left side of her face. Police said the Grayson hit the 20-year-old hard enough to leave scratches and send her glasses flying.

As Grayson moved closer, the manager pushed her back. Grayson responded by shoving her hand in the manager’s face, triggering a melee that ended with the pair on the ground.

“Ms. Grayson then grabbed the shift lead by the hair and pulled her to the ground and rolled on top of her. The shift lead can be seen swatting at Grayson’s arm as she is being held by her hair,” the department said.

“Two Tim Hortons employees moved in and attempted to separate them but struggled to get the shift lead’s hair out of Grayson’s hand. During the struggle, Ms. Grayson pulled a chunk of hair from the shift lead’s head leaving a raw area on the top of her head.”

Unalived?

From the article....read this very carefully. The victimhood mentality of blacks even when it’s overwhelmingly obvious they themselves are the aggressors is unbelievable.

“Grayson’s daughter, Tawnda Grayson, said that her mother had congestive heart failure and was wearing a heart monitor just a week before the fight as she demands action.

“You should not enter a coffee shop for a coffee and a doughnut and come out unalived. That is diabolical,” she told WPTA.

“That’s the elderly lady. That’s not how we treat our senior citizens. We be careful with them. We make sure that they’re alright. We don’t jump on them and attack them. And scare them to death.”

*Note* “unalived”.....only the woke use terms like that.

And how did she get to the Tim Horons?

Did she driver herself?

If so, and depending upon the dead woman’s medical history, the family may have yet more splainin’ to do.

As tragic and unavoidable as the death of the 75 year old woman is, the daughter is delusional. She paints the false narrative that her mother just went in to the shop to place an order and was "jumped on and attacked". She conveniently overlooks the fact that is was her mother who was the aggressor. She exerted herself to death over a coffee order. No one attacked her mother.

Wait, what? That's an actual quote?

Sounds like something a FReeper would write, followed by a "There. Fixed it."

And now, another exciting episode of “GUESS THE DEMOGRAPHIC” where contestants, given a news headline, guess the race, sex, gender identity of the “alleged” perpetrator for TOP PRIZES and smug self-satisfaction is seeing that the world IS going to hell in a basket woven by church of the latter day hippies rejects while protesting some policy their grandparents would have burned down university libraries over in te 1960’s.

It is used to get around social media censors that trigger on the word “kill.”

What particular coffee and donut combo at Tim Hortons is to die for?

Anyone here know? The daughter didn’t specify.
