PACOLET, SC (FOX Carolina) - Deputies said two women are accused of attacking a customer at a Li'l Cricket store in Pacolet who asked them to give her some space while checking out.
According to Spartanburg County deputies, it was all because the victim asked the women to give her some space while she entered the pin code for her debit card at the cash register.
"All I wanted was a little bit of privacy, I didn't know it would lead to a beatdown," said the victim, Amanda Parker.
On Monday afternoon Parker stopped into the Li'l Cricket on Pine Street in Pacolet, never knowing she'd need to be rushed to the hospital by the time she was through.
"The line was long, I stood and waited and those two women had been at the counter the whole time," said Parker.
Deputies said the two women had bought lottery tickets and stayed at the counter while other customers, including Parker, were being helped around them.
"I said, 'Can y'all give me some privacy? I'm fixing to use my debit card,'" said Parker. "They just got real hateful, 'Well we don't need your money.'"
Investigators said the two women were 80-year-old Mary Wannamaker and 63-year-old Myrtle Smith.
"I tried to be respectful, they were older women," said Parker. "They kept mouthing and mouthing and when I got ready to walk out the door, they spit on me."
The sheriff's office said that's when the situation escalated.

How did I know the ‘crowders’ were Amish? /s
Good Lord didn’t their mothers teach them better?
Amish grandmothers?
apparently not
Li’l Cricket?
Sounds racist
:p
Li’l Cracker is more appropriate. LOL
They be empowered now, so you best not be dissin’ us.............or you gets the beatdown.
Dem’s muthas teach dem right. Whatcu wanna keep dat pin numer to yosef, MF’r?
my first thought ... though a bit more racist in the pronunciation of a resident of Niger.
and the sad truth is if I fight back I would be the one at fault....
I don’t know. These women are of an age where people even turned their backs to fill out a check at the grocery store. I don’t think there mothers would be proud of this trashy action (I mean really 63 and 80.....geeez)
lol
“They be empowered now, so you best not be dissin’ us.............or you gets the beatdown.”
Yeah, and if’n dey had chillun, dey be look’n like FUBO, doncha know!
Gives new meaning to “Black Power.”
Were they Amish or not???!!
I’m sure deys bin gettin away wit dis fer years but dis time someone pushed back. Won’t be so bad. They prolly be gettin to see some of their chillun while in there.
In ghetto culture, being “dissed”, or disrespected, is a major offense. And the response to being dissed is often violent.
There is a LOT of Bad Craziness out there. It’s scary that a 60 and an 80 year old woman could be harboring such seething hatred and viciousness that they’re prepared to beat up another woman in a public place.
The expedient action, seeing that these women were hanging out at the checkout as they were, would be to walk on through, leaving the merchandise behind, and count Li’l Cricket as history. Let them chew on it.
obviously Amish.....
