And when a Fort Wayne, Ind., outlet did not perform up to expectations, the 75-year-old grandma flew into a rage, allegedly punching the younger manager and ripping out a chunk of her hair.
But Grayson died thirsty on the iconic donut chain’s floor, according to WRTV. Her daughter later framed the narrative that two young employees had attacked her mom.
Reality was different.
The news station reports that the bitter old bitty raged into the outlet shortly after 8 a.m. on May 13. She was furious with her drive-thru order and proceeded to berate a 17-year-old female worker, allegedly.
CCTV captured the coffee combatant, freaking out, pointing and shouting at the teenager. The 20-year-old shift manager emerged and ordered Grayson out of the store.
But Grayson wasn’t cooling off. When she approached the teenage worker, the manager allegedly touched her.
Not happy with her order
Video showed the elderly woman allegedly pushing the supervisor before proceeding to punch her in the face, hitting the young woman had enough to leave a trail of scratches and knocking the glasses off her face. The old lady wasn’t through and the manager allegedly pushed her back.
The coffee complainer then allegedly shoved her hand in the young woman’s face, unleashing a wild melee.
Cops said: “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.
“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.”
Once the fight ended, the manager and clerk returned to work while the irate customer sat down and made a phone call, cops said. Ten minutes later, the surly senior lay down on the floor.
Congestive heart failure
By then, officers had responded to a 911 call involving an assault. But when they arrived, Grayson was reportedly unresponsive and efforts by emergency personnel kept her alive long enough to die in hospital.
According to WPTA , Grayson’s daughter Tawnda, revealed that her mother had been wearing a heart monitor and was suffering from congestive heart failure. Now, dollars to donuts, she’s demanding action.
“You should not enter a coffee shop for a coffee and a doughnut and come out ‘unalived.’ That is diabolical,” Tawnda complained to the broadcast outlet.
‘Scare them to death’
“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.”
The incident triggered a wave of rumours and speculation, forcing cops to release footage of the incident to torpedo what they called “a dangerously false narrative.”
Some clips on social media showed only the fight and Grayson lying on the ground.
While the coroner has not ruled on the cause of death, early findings revealed none of Grayson’s Brewhaha injuries contributed to her death.
