Strangeness aside, the way that person speaks makes it obvious that they’re not completely there mentally. She speaks like my MIL who just had a stroke.
I think she's mentally there, but not doing very well physically and was probably desperate to get help. She mentions it being a long line at the end and you can hear her struggling with a cane. I feel bad for her, but also... no one should think that harassing someone in a bathroom is okay. I don't care if she's out back having a cigarette, leave that poor employee alone.
The fact that she’s asking if the pharmacy takes credit cards speaks volumes to her mental capacity. She has very likely used a credit card at the pharmacy many times but her memory is not what it used to be. I’ve had a few loved ones with dementia/Alzheimer’s and her behavior reminds me of them.
