WOMAN, 74, BANNED FROM HER GYM AFTER TAKING 31 TOWELS IN ONE VISIT
WOMAN, 74, BANNED FROM HER GYM AFTER TAKING 31 TOWELS IN ONE VISIT RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA — Sandra Gilcrest, 74, was banned Monday from her local gym after staff discovered she had taken 31 clean towels from the front desk during a single forty-minute visit, stuffing them steadily into two oversized tote bags between sets. Staff say a floor manager first noticed the bags "visibly overflowing" near the lockers and began quietly counting her trips back to the towel stack. She allegedly made six separate trips to the towel stack during one workout Staff say a floor manager noticed the bags "visibly overflowing" near the lockers Gilcrest reportedly told staff "I pay $9 a month and I intend to use it" Investigators found the towels still tagged with the gym's laundry service labels Front desk records show this marked her third towel-related incident this year Staff said Gilcrest had become something of a legend among the morning shift, known for testing exactly how far a nine-dollar membership could be stretched. One employee said "she's not wrong about the value, she's just very literal about it — she treats the towel stack like a personal linen closet." "I've dealt with people hogging equipment, cutting lines, one guy who brought his own weight bench from home," said gym manager Trent Alvarez. "Never someone systematically clearing out our entire towel supply in one forty-minute visit, three times running." The overflowing tote bags, all 31 towels recovered, reportedly declined to comment. She wanted her money's worth — the gym just wanted some of the towels back. #funny #comedy #fblifestyle #satire #FORENTERTAINMENTONLY
