Karen Says the “Owner” GAVE HER a V.I.P. Table… but I OWN THE RESTRAUNT - Reddit Podcast 

Seriously she was trying to be Anna Delvey and forgot how that ended up for her

@@DeathnoteBB DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?!

Lmao

*AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! YOU'RE FAKING MY BILLS YOU'RE TRYING TO GET MY MONEY!!!! I WILL CALL THE POLICE!!!! THIS IS MY RIGHT AND I WILL CALL THE POLICE, YOU SAID THAT YOU WOULD GIVE FREE DRINKS AND DINNER!!!!! THIS IS MY RIGHT AND I WILL CALL THE POLICE TO TAKE YOU TO JAIL FOR FRAUD!!!!!!!* (That one Karen)

lol

Duh

Well it’s actually just common sense

True’ what if there’s a robber

Agreed I work at a restaurant and we have cameras in our place and it's a legal thing just so that if anything happens it documented and they're can't be any hearsay

What if a mega karen came in? Ur gonna need proof when she tells the police you assulted her and slurs and whatever will get you jailed

I agree the man used his smarts!!

Pardon my ignorance, but what is TA? I assume is a big thing, I hope you gave her a taste of her own medicine

​@@adrianflores7269Teaching/Teacher's Assistant

I'd love for you to finish the story!

uahahahahahahahahah hope you made her lose at least 2 years

yooooo plot twist 💀💀💀

the bill wasn't insane though, considering they sat at the celebrity VIP table eating and drinking the specials. They got free drinks and sit at that table without reservation made. If anything the bill was low compared to what he should have charged for everything.

That's because the dad would've only heard her lies about why she spent so much

You know the father was an honest man who got the Karen's perspective on the story

@@AwoudeX They must've been crazy. Even I myself, hesitate to enter a foreign looking restaurant. VIP seats? Naw man

It's not really insane. Especially if they were eating off what could be considered a fine dining menu. If it had things like truffle on it. Truffle instantly raises the amount you can charge for a dish. I've seen dishes with white truffle that go for hundreds of dollars a plate. Never had the pleasure of trying the myself but I've seen them on a few menus.

One problem, she now has his phone number. You never want someone like that having your number.

@@lazysob2328 but it would only be the restaurant

She would say he's a dorky liar and a loser. She wouldn't believe he's the owner.

I literally thought that's what he was gonna do‼️

i thought this too

Pay respect to all people. A job is a job. Just because you aren't a fancy boss business owner doesn't mean you shouldn't be respected. You work hard. Imagine the bin people. I hate it when people tell their children this. It's a bad influence socially.

When I mean "Bin people" I mean as in people who pick up the rubbish in bins on your road and stuff.

@@mushroomsrcool1449 I figured that's what you meant, but was unsure.

Sweet! 😂

🤣🤣🤣

@@andrewconnor9302 shut up

This is for the safety of his high profile clients. People approach celebs, uninvited, and this protects them and the restaurant from liability. I find the fact the this owner has invested in high end security is impressive.

Not to mention, that some of the biggest Karens out there ARE celebrities! Ask me how I know......

​@@theflash1425 how do you know?

yea-

Very well said *=)* I was at a restaurant with friends one night, the majority of which had been waiter's at some point..a table right beside us was full of women, being very loud and drinking..well, my friends are a bit saucy (as am I), but we ignored them..UNTIL they started acting horrible towards the staff..I'm not going into detail of what we said, but it was very salty and witty, to say the least..and THEN they decided to call their waiter over (the one they were so disrespectful to) and demanded that we be "removed" and wanted to talk to the owner..he told them "the owners not here, would you like me to call him?"..they said "ABSOLUTELY!!"..the waiter looked at us, smiled, and proceeded to call the owner with it on speaker phone..before he could barely speak these drunk women started loudly yelling their complaints..I quickly told the waiter, "let me talk to Ben", while keeping it on speaker phone..with them in stunned silence (because that totally threw them for a loop) I proceeded to tell the owner how they treated his employees, what we heard them say (one example was "maybe if you could do a decent job you wouldn't be stuck in a dead end job", not to mention what they said when the waiter left their table) and EXACTLY what we said to them, word for word..I didn't censor not 1 comment we made to them..the owner, Ben, said to immediately bring them their check, kick them out, and ban them from his restaurant..and if they said one more word OR didn't immediately leave, to call the police (both his brother's were police officers) and press charges for disorderly conduct, public intoxication and trespassing..man, I TRULY wish I had a photo of their faces 😂 *it was off the charts RIDICULOUSLY hilarious!!* I genuinely didn't think they would go quietly, BUT THEY DID..that was a lesson in what goes around comes around..Ben asked that we not be charged for our meal and thanked us..we then tallied up the cost of all our meals and gave it to the waiter as a tip..we all had a great night and some of the staff came to greet us for taking up for them..my friends that had been waiters at one point in time were like no, they deserved more than what we said..btw, what kind of a stupid person bad-mouths their waiter?! It's like, THEY'RE HANDLING YOUR FOOD 🤦

Yeah and some waiters at higher end restaurants make an absolute killing. When your bill is $300 and that is an average bill a 20% tip on that is $60. Keep that going all night long and you're easily pulling in $600 to 1,000 a night in tips. Pulling that much and you're easily making a quarter of a million dollars a year before taxes.

Yea don't judge a book by its cover. If janitors weren't janitors to clean places and pay for their families, I suggest those karens use their long-ass air to clean the cheerio-stinking rims of toilet bowls and use up their crybaby tear tissues

@@thecassandraeffectvsperilo6754 holy, how long did that take???

I waitressed for over 25 years and I loved it. Made good money (depending on where you work) and kept me in shape lol. The best place I worked was the country club, I worked four days a week 6 to 8 hours a shift… Made anywhere between $700 to $1000 a week not including house pay. I’ve waited on some of the nicest people you’ll ever want to meet, and I also waited on some of the nastiest sons of bitches you’ll ever want to meet🙄😒😡

The owner was perfectly correct. Happy he did what he did. Hopefully she GROWS UP! GO GET THE OWNER. You did the rifgt thing. BRAVO !!!

@Nusaybah Ali It's not our job to match or escalate liars. He should have had her dial the bosses number and got it over with from the beginning, not coddle the liar. How was he any better than her by duping her lying? HE WASN'T!!

@@RebeccaMcCagueSipe he didn't lie tho

@@RebeccaMcCagueSipe sounds like the karens

@@andrew-xr1de IKR IT WAS SO SATISFYING WHEN HE SAID HE WAS A OWNER

that made up word should 100% be added to the dictionary. thats a perfect way to describe anything annoying a karen does.

He is telling the story Not him in the store

But they didn't 😅😉

In Europe , being a waiter is a well--respected career

Not the manager, THE FUCKING OWNER *Dark souls music plays*

What? Where did u see that?

@@mlh4711 it’s an old meme. Just the feeling of power you get when a Karen wants to talk to the person in charge, but you ARE the person in charge

@@hello2judas807 im not trapped in here with you You are trapped in here with ME

Sorry 😞

@@ShadowDamius for?

I met a janitor who was working in a restaurant, he was paid more than the other staff and the owner never knew, because every day they would all tip him $10

This isn't were you post it

Fr also that the father wasn't mad at the owner was great to

Amazing? My father would literally KILL me if I spent that much money!

@@preppyxela yea but it's amazing she got what she deserved

Hardly. How'd she become such a narcissist? Those things typically don't just happen. Daddy facked up. My sister's would die of shame if they were caught doing 1 percent of this bs. Heck I would die of shame.

@@svenolsen8184 bro u ain't em, no offense but like a person can be a total piece of sh, even if they had a proper life

They think anyone who has to work is lesser than them

Because they aren't intelligent. Often rudeness and arrogance is trying to cover a lack of intelligence on a levels especially the social intelligence.

Love it!

This sounds fishy to me. You say you seated the party that was already waiting and then "seated another two parties at that table before them" in an hour and a half wait. I do not know any restaurant that can seat the same table three times in one and a half hours. We normally calculate 60-90 minutes per table seating.

@@JamesJBurt Sorry, I wasn't clear. We had three tables that could have seated that party.

fr someone's gotta do it

Don't ever feel bad about your job. There are different jobs for different people. I am more of an academic and make a good salary but I hate cleaning. We have a cleaner and I love her. If it wasn't for her my house would be a mess. Thank you for what you do to make others stays better🤗

Without you, (demon spawn) people wouldnt have their (*place) clean. Imagine how untidy it would be without you lol

Yeah, you’d think people would have realized that during the pandemic. We all need people to do various kinds of work to make a community run smoothly. How is someone doing honest, necessary work a failure??

I suspect that it just confirmed what he already suspected about his daughter.

In all likely hood she learned it from him.

I'm glad the dad's a good man

@@SelynaWolf no 💀

@@SelynaWolf if she did learn it from him he wouldn’t have been as fucking PISSED as the op said in the story

Yes bro

Story 2: Not only that but something stuck out in the post "You don't need your hands to dance", this is untrue, maybe the dances the OP's were excepting doesn't need your hands, but in general most types of dancing are full body, you move your hands, arms, body, legs, feet, and head to the rhythm. So having to do all that with puppets would result in a (potentially) very awkward wedding reception. Yes, it's their wedding, but there is a limit to what you can and can't expect to request of guests, and I'd consider this request to be a little over the line.

@@SkyEcho751 It's simple. If you don't like it, don't go. They shouldn't have to think about other people's wants on their big day. The only thing that does urk me is making others pay for it bu it is their wedding if they want puppets let them have puppets. But it isn't out of line to want people to partake in something both the bride and groom are extremely passionate about. It's their wedding not anyone elses.

@@AmItheJerk stop these Karen's however you feel is necessary teaching them a lesson and more videos please I give likes we need laughter it helps often .

Regarding story 3, I used to fling it back too. The poop spreading around the yard means they have to spend time picking it all up and will inevitably end up with it on their shoes, walked into their car and house. Their yard is going to eventually stink. If they just let their dog poop in their own yard they can pick it up easily and in one go. Their choice.

Yes and he can also be there to see where all the money and the product is going.

Any business owner that actually wants to succeed does this.

@@SuwinTziIt’s shocking how many incompetent business owners there are. Many are just plain wasteful or just expect the business to magically make itself profitable.

@@andylugo7060 Thats why most businesses fail...

@@agunemon Yeah but the crazy part is how many completely incompetent businesses actively succeed.

O_O

She probably had to ask him for help with the bill because he couldn't afford it, he thought they got scammed, checked, and left. I'm not sure what there is to criticise about the dad's behaviour.

@@heddevanheerde The dad is raising that entitles daughter. He bailed her out. She didn’t get that way when she walked in that door. It is obviously a pattern of entitlement.

@@energygirl9588 Once the owner was proven right he was angry at his daughter, not the store. You can want to help your kid without being a bad parent (obviously). I'm not saying you're wrong, I don't know enough about the situation here either, but it feels like you're making a pretty big assumption about the dad.

​@@energygirl9588 he said that the dad was shouting at her on the way out. She probably lied to him and told him she was overcharged or something, and instead of just believing her and calling the bank, he went to the restaurant and asked what happened.

I can relate with the poop golfer. My roomie was going out of town for a week & one or both of his dogs pooped in the hallway to the backyard (where i let my two dogs go do their doggy duty) the night before he was leaving. I heard him let his two dogs out the morning that he left so he would have walked right over it (meaning that he KNEW it was there) & it was STILL there when he had left (meaning that he EXPECTED me to clean up after his dogs mess for him) not wanting to put up with dog shit in the hallway all week i did remove it from the hallway...... I threw it right next to his bed in his bedroom to wait for him to return from his vacation.

Story#1 Bravo to the OP!! The group of AH's were superficial space cadets and deserved what they got. Story#2 I don't think you're a jerk, maybe just inconsiderate. Imo, asking people who don't normally puppeteer to do so at such a highly stressful event isn't cool(Think of a skydiving wedding). That sounds like torture AND highly expensive torture for something you'll only use once. Maybe let all your fellow puppeteers handle the Muppets and let everyone else just enjoy it. Going to something where I'd be performing something I'd never done before at a great financial burden sounds like an anxiety-ridden nightmare. However, if I went to a wedding where there were professional puppeteers (sort of like the wedding of Kermit and Miss Piggy) doing all the entertaining you definitely wouldn't have to worry about not having enough pictures!! This would be so much fun!! I would be immensely amused to dance and sing karaoke with a flippin Muppet!! HECK, YEAH!! 🎉 😊🎉

Oh, and Story #3? You are NOT THE A-HOLE!! She got caught, and you paid her back.

He is a jerk for making everyone do this weird puppet shit, but money is not the issue here. He said in lieu of gifts, and most people would gift at least $150, if not more, in presents or cash for a newly wed couple.

I work here and all if the the stuff was 4.232.23$

Rest in peace

Oh no. He sounds like a fantastic boss. 😢 RIP.

@@moniquethong798 he was. He knew everyone by name and loved giving out hugs. When he was in the hospital I found out that both out youngest kids knew each other. 😁

A boss who will do the same work he tells his employees to do is a respectable boss indeed.

🎉

Exactly

My thought was 2 weddings but I like your idea too.

I can completely understand why people wouldn't want to attend that wedding, puppets might be an important part of their lives and they of course deserve to have the wedding they want but asking people to attend your wedding via using a puppet strapped to your chest is a bit of a big ask.

What a stupid wedding theme. I wouldn’t attend.

The owner is a woman the one that waited on them.

I hope 🤞 he *carded the lot of them 2 🐝 4 he served them, any drinks!!!? They deserved Everything they got!!!! When they started yelling, he should have called the police then 4 disturbing the peace & his other customers.

I would say you are kinda the jerk cause you are basically taking money from a drunk person but over all I would’ve done the same thing

@@your_name633 not really as I have been made a joke for being a janitor and I know how to piss someone of I was called worthless and yet as a janitor I made more than most people in my workplace as I was the only janitor I know that for a fact that if he didn’t do it somehow it would happen later

Yo

yep you aint the jerk

@@your_name633 It was their choice to get drunk. They are in their twenties and should know shit better

Karens don't need to fear a nasty reaction to this situation. All they have to do is treat everyone they engage during the day with respect. I can't remember a time when I wasn't treated well in restaurant ... also, keep in mind that in some cases the result could be a breathtaking bill, or in others ... well lets say that you don't want to piss off someone that is handling your food out of sight.

“And I had that thought, that only blackout drunks and Steve Urkel (and Karens) can have…” *Did* *I* *do* *that?* (Edited to fix emphasis)

Asked,asked is optional

Well yes, but weddings gifts usually are in the hundreds and the puppets are supposed to be in lieu of presents.

To be fair, first, the children would probably love the event, and second, the guests could make their own puppets, and I’m pretty sure the distributor is just a suggestion, they may be able to get one from a different place.

​@@marckempe2143 If they were flexible and have this be optional, more people would attend. However, they were VERY specific that the puppets had to be bought at specific stores and the puppets they are requiring people to get are on an "approved" list which the price range must be a minimum of $150 a puppet. From the post, it sounds like these requirements are NOT negotiable.

@@CidVeldoril Even though it's in lieu of gifts, many people can't even afford to spend $50. I know many people who are on fixed income or have low paying jobs or a family to support who absolutely can't afford this. This especially pertains older adults, those with disabilities receiving assistance, single parents, etc. Yes, couples can require their guests to spend a specific amount on gifts or in this case, specific puppets, but they should not get upset if people can't afford that and/or choose not to go. Hopefully they won't try to make people feel guilty if they don't go, but I didn't get that impression that they would.

Lol 😂

Jesus Christ, that's such a coincience. She is still trying to do this

I would have pepper sprayed them on the grounds that they were trying to force themselves into my occupied bathroom.

Damn

I would have plugged my ears and sat there.

The whole thing is absurd and ridiculous and expensive! It's stupid!

I like puppets, but this is just... too much! D: (-.-#)

Weirdo.

The cost is the only hitch to me. A place where I can socially interact via a puppet actually sounds easier than using myself. Along the same lines as wearing a mask or sunglasses it feels like the anxiety would dissipate. Plus it wouldn't be weird if everyone else was doing it too.

@@innersight6070 have a drink!

I like that

Me too brilliantly put

thats my motto too , i have lost alot of money by being too kind! and people did regard it as weakness

Indeed. Anyone acting like this should be called out. Be it man, woman or child. Well, okay. We often expect that kind of entitled tantrum from young children, but even then, my daddy would have taken me outside right then and there and given my little butt a paddling.

@@scarletrose5908 agreed so hard there

It’s also VERY expensive for a purchase that you’ll use once most probably

My genuine response would be "Oh... congratulation, have fun at your wedding". I'm against everything, wearing those thing all the time and buying those expensive puppet I might don't like and likely never use again

I have to agree. If they would have made it an option, instead of a requirement, it would have been better, because then if the people do not feel comfortable with the idea or could not afford it, they could still come and be there for them.

Forcing them to buy puppets? Yes they the jerks. If they had given them the puppets then not problems

The upside is that they aren’t asking for gifts. The downside is that it’s expensive.
