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.”

On every side. Interestingly, Fort Wayne is shaped like a giant doughnut.

Maybe she had a low oxygen moment. My Dad had congestive heart disease, and that’s how the doctors explained it when he would get very angry with people.

Don’t go messing around with a seventy-something black woman.

Fred Sanford pretended to be a tough old bird, but it always seemed he wanted no part of Aunt Esther.

Donuts are not particularly great for those with heart issues. They taste good though.

Could be this woman had some dementia going on. Could be she had a hair trigger temper.

Most 75 year old woman aren’t throwing fists at folks.

Tim Horton franchises in the U.S. are mostly located in Michigan, New York, and Ohio, states that have a land or water border with Ontario, Canada. I ate there one time when I was in Columbus, Ohio. It was about on a par with Dunkin Donuts, not great but not bad.

“Our neighborhood Chick-fil-A...”

Chick-fil-A service is second to none.....drive thru OR dine in.

Why other fast food chains don’t adopt their model is beyond my understanding.

Of course, whenever I’m in the mood to be treated rudely by a minority with an attitude I always go to McDonald’s.

are they ever in our favor?

Well, if you ask for no pickles, there's a good chance you'll get extra pickles. Otherwise, no.
