Anita Grayson.

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.”

I’m wondering about something in addition to any cardiac issues she may have had.
Medications, Alzheimer’s.
Yes, she had a medical condition. The old lady threw the first swing.
This exclusively happens to women and more precisely black women. Live their whole lives till 75 and end up dying in a fast food restaurant.
Are these animals capable of doing ANYTHING in a civilized manner?
Back when I used to stop in a McDonald’s on a regular basis, I twice witnessed the same woman berating the clerk over some tiny order mix-up. Even at the time it didn’t seem like a mix-up to me. It was a setup. Each time I grabbed my coffee and left.
The second time the woman yelled, “I’m not the type to complain.”
The clerk said, “Lady, you do this every day.”
“WHAT! WHAT!”
This is where I left. The point is, this woman was a rager. She gets high off screaming at people. Studies show that when a rager is at their peak of rage they actually calm down. Their heart rate and blood pressure drop. They are transferring their stress to the target. In this case a helpless clerk.
These people are everywhere. The reaction of the family is the reaction of a family to “family secrets.” That’s the thing that nobody ever talks about. Typical family secrets are abuse, alcoholism, drug use, etc. They never get talked about because when you mention it, the rage goes nuclear and nobody wants to deal with that.
I’ve always dealt with it by leaving. Once I even left a relationship the first-time rage put in an appearance. You can’t fix it, because the rager will apologize, promise it won’t happen again, and then it happens again. Abusers rock you back and forth to maintain control. The only option is to leave.

Dark Chocolate, apparently.

Headshake.
Her life was in her own hands. She chose poorly and paid the price.

One less fast food fighter to worry about...
Once the fight ended, the employees returned behind the counter and Grayson sat down at a table and made a phone call,
She was calling Hell to warn Satan that she was on her way down.
Rings true!
I would give the ragers some inanimate objects on which to take out their rage.
Rocks and sledge hammers - within the walls of a penitentiary. With armed guards patrolling on the wall-tops.
Regards,
My guess is her phone call was to the daughter telling HER version of what happened whichvthatvshexwas the victim and the daughter believed it.
The daughter needs to view the video of the incident and shut up.
Ah.
To the melody of "Everyone was Kung-Fu Fighting!"
Everybody was fast‑food fighting,Regards,Burgers flew and weaves were sliding...
