Yes, it upset her quite a bit. My wife realized that the woman might have for sure been upset and maybe it was something she was still trying to get over, and yes the backstory was unknown. However, she was just so taken aback. It felt to her like the woman was trying to accuse her of something. It made her uncomfortable more than anything though. It wasn't until she thought about the implication of the statement and the fact that she made it in front of our kids that it really started to make her upset.

Soooo, it just seems more reasonable to me to conclude the cashier was more commenting along the lines of "my husband died from this stuff....so I'm careful when I sell it."

I don't think the age had anything to do with it. I think the woman came out of left field at her simply because she was buying alcohol.
