Does every retail store have a weird old lady who comes in and rants to whatever associate she sees first? (hexbear.net)

I've worked at three hardware stores and each one had one of these ladies.

Seriously, one just spent like half an hour ranting to me about how she thinks the local gas and electric company is conspiring against her.

One time my partner offered to drive this older lady who lived nearby to do some errands. Turns out her errands were basically going to a bunch of retail stores to complain at them about the silliest things, like how she let her store credit card expire or something like that. Shit they can't even really do anything about in the store. Partner didn't even know because they just sat in the car at first, but went inside and one of the workers explained the old lady does it a lot.

Sad, but also fuck her for manipulating my partner into helping her harass retail workers
