Deputies: Woman beat up after asking for space at checkout

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.

Zero class like their messiah. Creepy. This is like horror movie characters. Old, nasty, evil zombies.

Was the trash trying to pick up whitey’s ATM code? People don’t usually crowd around people while they are using the ATM checkout machine. I would have just left the sale on the counter, told the cashier the ATM arrangement was insecure. I would have called the manager later and told him/her about the misbehavior in the store around the ATM.

No doubt the perps are simply reacting against the awful treatment they experienced when they were slaves. Oh, wait...

Someone got uppity.

It just might turn out that this woman was right and an investigation might show that these two perps had done this before and were trying to get the "password" for her card as they had gotten passwords from others.

If the first teo “excuse me’s” dont work, I’ve stepped on their feet and bumped into them when they are way too close to me and the credit card machine..most get the hint. Maybe I’ll expect a beat down someday.
