She had a screaming fit in the store.

Last night, my son and I stopped at the Dollar General store, a few blocks away, on our way home. He needed a few items from there. We both went in, got a cart, and began hunting up our choices. This store never has enough people working, often just one person, and there are always boxes of items to be put on shelves that no one appears to have time to get done. But I digress. About a year ago, they installed plexiglass little doors over some items. When you open the door, it plays a loud song. Yes, I'm sure to prevent theft of the items. It's mostly in the over-the-counter medicine section and over some of the pricier beauty items, and so forth. Oh, and it's over the Tide pods, all sorts of the pods are under one of those plexiglass music makers. All of a sudden, a lady started screaming, not far from where we were. She threw an absolute fit, cussing (I think I learned some new words from her!) about the plexiglass covers and the music. She would not shut up. The manager appeared and informed her if she didn't stop, the police would be called. Oh, that made it worse. She started on threats as well, saying she was going to kick this lady in the ass, and so forth. Oh, and was going to call her boyfriend to come beat up the help. Yes, the police came. We went to the back of the store because we were visible if we would have just gone out the front door, and we wondered if this horrid lady had a gun, which as we know, happens. She cussed out the police, they cuffed her and she got a free squad car ride. The lady at the check-out had tears on her cheeks. I felt so badly for her. We paid and went home. Sheesh. Why that was worth going to jail for, i don't understand.
