r/EntitledPeople - Karen ATTACKS ME After I REFUSED to Sell Her Daughter Cigarettes! 

Cousin: you're a horrible person for kicking them out Me: well thanks for volunteering to pay for the stuff they destroyed, when can i send you the bill?~ Cousin:..... how much ya wanna bet thats how the conversation would go on the cousin's side?

I'm a christian and just had a big Question Mark over my head when she said that Halloween is about Jesus. I mean...Huuuh? Good grief, I worry for the person who's going to end up explaining to her about the real origins of Christmas and Easter. Also, no way did OP go too far.

OP was absolutely NOT a horrible person but the “Karen” was. I think OP should have called the cops and charged them for vandalism.

As someone that chain-smokes Newport menthols, I find it absolutely disgusting when someone tries to buy cigarettes for a minor. Good job OP on not backing down

You’ve got to be trolling if you think party store OP was going too far calling security

No she shouldnt have called private security. She should have calleed the COPS and had "Karen" arrested for destruction of property/trespassing Instead of just throwing her out. Let a Judge explain to her that a store is private property that you are allowed in to shop. Shopping in ca store is not a right. Its private property.

"Karen" is lucky she didn't call the police and press charges

Wait! What? How the heck does she manage to think Halloween had ANYTHING to do with Jesus???

She lucky he didn't call the police and press charges for vandalism. And made her pay for whatever her kids destroyed. He had every right to have her removed from his store. Shoulda took a pic of her and the kids and banned them from the entire property🚫

As a member of the Military: LITERALLY EVERY SERVICE MEMBER HATES WHEN MILITARY SPOUSES WEAR THEIR S.O.'S RANK. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.- SN from the US Navy.

re: The Halloween story - Since Karen stated her Religious problems with the decorations and her kids said that they were destroying the display because their Mom didn't like them I think this is pretty close to a Religious Hate crime. If Karen had a problem with the displays she should have not gone into the store.

First story: Would she rather have the police called and been arrested? Was Karen confusing Halloween with Christmas or Easter? Logic and courtesy are two things Karens don't seem to be conscious of.

Dan's an A+ boss! I'd have loved to hear how that conversation went down!

GO BOSS!!! He deserves a great pay for turning down that Karen thinking the truck owns from a business. RIGHT ON BROTHER!!!

On the first story, ud have called the police and pressed charges for destruction of property and trespassing. Bye Karen.

That moment you know you're busted... "Mom! MOM!" Gotta love it😄😆

1. OP should’ve charged the mother for damages that the children did. 2. No smokes. I bet the police chief had fun with his phone call in that small town. 3. Dan verbally handed the customer their butt to them. You

I worked at a men's store and we had these tables that the ties would go on. They had doors under them for the overstock ties. These were all silk ties between $15 and $35 each. One day it was raining pretty bad and this couple came in with 2 kids in tow. The parents went to the back of the store to look at suits and left the kids in the front to "look around for dad". The kids took the time their parents were looking at the suits to play hide and seek in the sportswear section, leaving muddy footprints all over the place! I found them under tables, in the dressing rooms, and hiding in the hanging clothing. The parents came out with their salesman and he asked me to match some shirts and ties for him, so I went to work on that. Next thing I know the parents are looking for the kids and yelling about why I hadn't been watching them. I ignored them and kept doing my job. I was over at the $35 tie table and found the kids .. under the table inside the cabinet with their muddy feet all over brand new ties. I almost hit the roof. I went in search of the manager, found him and explained what had happened. He came out but asked me to take care of it. I rolled my eyes and went over to them. I told the parents that their children had been found, then told them where and said that they would be charged for the ties ruined. The man seemed resigned to this but the mother .. oh boy! Her little darlings couldn't have done anything so horrible. So I took her over, my boss following, and showed her the ruined ties (about $1000 dollars worth). She screeched that it's not possible that it was her kids. So I showed her their shoes, then took her around the store showing her their muddy footprints. (The manager explained later why he wanted me to handle it. I'll get to that in a moment.). Luckily, no other merchandise was ruined. The parents paid for their suit and ruined ties and left. The manager later told me he was putting me up for a promotion and he was anted to see how I handled the stressful situation. BTW this was in 1986. I ended up with an assistant manager position at the store.

With the Halloween store I think he was being merciful. Security help, I would have called the cops charged the kids with vandalism and watch them get taken out and cuffs. I see the mother throwing a fit and joining them wearing the new bracelets courtesy of the police

Regarding the last story: even if the car was owned by a tour company, why the fuck would they loan out their tour vehicles... that’s not a thing.

Growing up in a smallish town, and being from a couple prominent families, I can attest to how fast crap gets around. :-)

2:00 Imma bout to give y'all people a EXTREMELY long lecture about Halloween's origin Halloween's origin can be found in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced saw-en, meaning 'end of summer'). For the Celts who celebrated their new year on November 1st, the day marked the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, the end of light and the beginning of darkness, the end of life and the beginning of death. The Celtic priests, called Druids, made large bonfires on hilltops around which the people gathered and offered sacrifices of crops and animals to the Celtic gods, as a thanksgiving offering for that years' crops and as an appeal for favor in the new coming year. Some have speculated that there were also human sacrifices at these bonfires, but modern scholars believe this not to be the case. This was viewed as a very spiritual time and divination was practiced especially in the form of fortune-telling. It was widely believed that on this night young women especially can find whether they might marry in the coming year and even the identity of their future spouse. It is also believed that on the eve of Samhain the line between the living and the dead became thin and the spirits of the Otherworld were allowed to roam the earth during this day, both spirits of departed loved ones during the previous year as well as evil spirits of ghouls and fairies looking to cause mischief and damage. The Celts, hoping for a visit from their departed loved ones, would set a place at the table for them and prepare a feast. They also set treats outside their house for the wandering spirits. To ward off evil spirits from their households, the Celts were known to set carved pumpkins (or turnips) in front of their doors. If they went out at night they wore costumes so that if they encountered an evil spirit they would be mistaken for an evil spirit themselves and thus be protected from evil and trouble. By A.D. 43 the Romans had successfully conquered most of the Celtic lands. During the next 400 years, Samhain was merged with two Roman holidays: Feralia, a day when Romans commemorated their dead, typically at the end of October, and secondly Pomona, a day of honoring the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. In 609 A.D. Pope Bonafice IV established the Catholic feast of All Martyrs' Day in honor of the early Roman martyrs, and this feast was later expanded by Pope Gregory III to include all saints and is still practiced today on November 1st as All Saints' Day (known also as Hallowtide or All Hallows). November 2nd is also celebrated as All Souls' Day mainly to honor the saints and pray for the lives of the recently departed who have not reached heaven yet. Some of the Halloween traditions can be seen in the festival surrounding All Saints' Day. There were traditions of ringing bells for the souls in purgatory; poor people, mostly children, would go from house to house "souling"-they would get 'soul cakes' in exchange for prayers for departed loved ones; people even wore costumes in order to protect themselves from wandering souls of the dead.

Well the next time they're at the cousin's home, they can just start wrecking the place since only a 'horrible person' would call the police.

Op was in the right to have them removed but I'd also press charges for store damages and loose of profit for any damaged goods

1st story: NOPE! Op did the right thing. Your so-called "American rights" ENDS where MY PRIVATE PROPERTY begins. PERIOD. | Last story: no doubt TRAILER TRASH!

As a former cashier at a gas station, I feel that story from Kmart so very much. I had a group of teens (that I had just denied a beer sale to) stand right outside the glass door and hand money to an older guy who then came in and grabbed the exact same 12-pk I'd denied to the teens. He just shrugged when I declined the sale. The kids were so mad, but they didn't come back in or do anything at least. But probably the most common trick I saw kids do to try to buy tobacco underage was use military IDs. Most of them will have it in a wallet and just flash it at the cashier, only thing is - the birthdate is on the back. And ofc kids can sign up for the military with their parents permission (which is what my brother did despite the fact that neither of my parents actually wanted him to join the military- to this day, I don't know why they gave him permission). The look of shock and discomfort on the kids' faces when I asked them to take it out of the wallet was always so amusing to me. They were almost always underage. I did have one lady give me shit for IDing her for beer when she was in uniform once (she was old enough, just upset at having to pull out her ID). She was extremely upset that I would imply anyone would try to do anything illegal *in uniform.* Jokes on you, lady. It happens all the time. You can always tell when it's an actual sting, BTW. The kid will hand you their ID without any fuss and they'll just accept it when you tell them no.

Fluffy, we _DEFINITELY_ know you're not a smoker! We can hear it in the dulcet tones of your voice!

I'm sorry, with the last story, I can totally understand why OP's boss, "Dan" asked the woman if she was stupid. Even if it was a company vehicle, why on earth was the expectation that the "driver" would just leave the truck and keys at the hotel? That was a stupid request whether OP owned the vehicle or not. They didn't go to a car rental agency; they hired a tour guide.

He had every right to protect his store! That woman and her kids are part of the reason Americans are frowned upon around the world

1st story: if I was the owner of this store, I wouldn't have called private security, I would have called the police, filed charges, forced her to pay restitution for the damages and banned her & her monsters from the store.

14:40 You know he got her good when all she has to say is: “He wants to talk to you.” Before walking away.

"No problem, Karen, put your credit card in my hand and I'll ring up everything your kids destroy. As long as you are paying for it, you can stay. The moment you hit your limit, the police get called."

That's why I would always have security cameras recording everything in my store and when Karens think they have the upper hand being a keyboard warrior to slam and shame after "feeling wronged it victimized", let's roll the tape and air it out. Karen's need to understand that online anonymity should not exempt you from offline accountability.

I'm a Christian and if I owned a retail store I would hire op and her coworker in a heartbeat. They were protecting the store. They should have called the POLICE.

If someone put Military Spouse on their resume well now my grill has a new way to start a fire

"That's not how you interact with someone." That is very much how you interact with someone that entitled, thank you very much.

Halloween is about Jesus?! Wow! Now I’ve heard everything!

“I’ve been smoking like a chimney since I was 7” bro I fricking died 💀💀😂

The 1st story - OP did the right thing by calling security because they refused to leave the store when asked. They were destroying the store's property.

I think the people who find it okay for Karen’s children to destroy property, should pay for it. That woman came for a fight.

3:29 my grandpa goes crazy with Halloween decorations, until one day someone destroyed his decor and left a nasty not and report his "sinful house" to the HOA, little did this cantankerous delinquent knew my grandpa was one of the board members of the HOA and is usually a pretty understanding and lenient when is came to fines, the best part this moron sent it to him via certified mail and had a return address, and my grandpa gave her a $350 fine (the cost of the decorations) for destruction of property, and even had approval from the president and rest of the board.

OP didn't go far enough OP should of called the cops and made Karen pay for the damages

@3:40 OMG yes, she's a horrible person for calling security on them! She should have had security _detain_ them and called the police on them for destroying private property and then had it on record that she was trespassed so she couldn't come back under penalty of being arrested.

The first story: unless that security smacked her in the face and hit her children then he did not take it to far.

You know what's a sad thing? The fact that just because they married a soldier they think that they're entitled to everything and thanks to their behaviour the person that suffers the most is their husband because that shit can affect his rank

Karens are aggressive bullies, which are the most people I have had in my life. You are a genuine gem in my life. I watch your videos because of this fact. Thank you for being one of the great people that I have never met.

1st story. Maybe if OP took the kids who were stomping on his merchandise and stomped on there faces then yes he would have taken it to far. What he actually ended up doing was very lenient as he could have called the police and pressed vandalism charges and had the police give her and her poorly raised kids a trespassing notice banning her from ever coming back.

The look on the Karen's face post the smugness when Dan said, ARE YOU STUPID? Just imagining that got me in stitches.

EM: you have no right to tell me what I can and can’t do! Just ring up the smokes NOW! Me: girl... did you just hear what you said

Well, As a business owner She has the right to refuse service. Especially destroying her property and her displays

OP should've taken a step further and sued Karen for all the damage caused by her hellish spawn if the cost was worth it.

First story op should have called the police and have Karen and her kids arrested for vandalism.

To be fair to the "military spouse", most job applications I've seen ask if you or a family member is or was in the military, so adding it to the resume doesn't sound too crazy to me.

OP should have called the police for destruction of her store.

I wonder why people think they important.

As someone who worked security for a decade, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO REMOVE KARENS LIKE THIS. It was a highlight of any shift. They don't get to trash the store for everyone else who wants to use it.

Doggos are still innocent enough to be forgiven for their "entitlement" :)

Reminds me of a time where a dude couldnt produce his ID so he tried to get his mom to buy it for him. I refused the sale. She claimed my behavior was harassment and demanded the number of someone above me. I told her I would get her a sheet of a paper to write a complaint and (since I felt I had done nothing wrong) would be happy to forward it to management. I had tangled with her previously when I refused to take a personal check that she had mentioned was her mom's. This woman had to be in her 50s. It would be a perfect excuse to explain away a different last name from stolen checks.

Ahh to be young again and at 17 thinking that working with the public rocks! Ahh the youthfulness of it all... :-)

If I was the costume store owner I'd post the security footage, un edited and see what Karen and the nay sayers would do ....

OP of the first story needed to point out that Karen's hellspawn were destroying the displays to her cousin. Rather than just saying 'my store, my rules'

Good on OP for protecting his staff and his store from little monsters and 'Karen'. No, OP did not go too far.

I would have called the police, then they could have CPS involved with the destruction of property with a side of trust passing.

That first one... should have called the cops and made them pay for the damaged product. And the last one had me rolling. LOL

Let's stop right here...O.p did NOT take it to far. She was disturbing the peace by yelling and it sounds like she's being aggressive. Private security is better than the police by any means. When a cop comes up and talks to you (business owner) its safe to say that it will be in a calm manorism as to where KAREN would be yelling and screaming like a a sazz so therefor in theory this whole story could have gone a completely different way.

That mother at the cigarettes definetly became a bad influence on her daughter.

For the people who says by business my rules is mean then you can't use the term my house my rules. I can walk in and do whatever I want to your house right? I can break things and not be kicked out right?

OP was not a terrible person for calling the security on the mom and her kids for destroying his products, he is a terrible person for not calling the cops and truly teaching them the errors of their ways.

I think OP should've written a bill to the Karen for the items her kids destroyed. P.S. Dan rocks :D

Not horrable! He should have called the police and had her locked up! Yes HIS BUSINESS, HIS RULES! NO ONE ELSE IS HELPING HIM RUN HIS BUSINESS!

I think, the Kmart customer, Sheriff, may have been the ex-husband of the Karen bying the cigarettes und the father of the girl, that's why the manager states how big the girl has gotten.

Omg that boss one was funny as hell😂😂😂

First story: Yes, he is a horrible person. He should have called the cops to put an end to Karen's bad behavior instead of calling security guards.

If the business is on private property, then OP could have called the cops to remove her and not gone too far.

Story1: didn't go far enough ...

On the first story OP did not take things too far and was well with in his right to have the woman and her kids removed from the store he could’ve taken it even further by contacting the authorities and pressing charges against her and her little heavenly hoodlums for the destruction of the stores property.

Was having a bad day, that is, until you posted!

The entitled woman was lucky, the Halloween store owner didn’t call the police and make her pay for the damage and have her arrested. A private company does have the rights to not put up people destroying property. It is their company.

OP’s supervisor in that last story sounds like a really great guy!

7:00 -- If someone is giving you a hard time about the ID thing, always operate under the presumption that they were sent undercover by the company or the local police to test you. They do that sometimes you know.

OP Stone owner should have called Law Enforcement and filed charges for vandalism and destruction of property

That dog looking for fluffy pillows really looks like a little puppy to me, but I might be wrong. So no entitlement, just being a baby. :D also yes it is friggin adorkable

I had to re listen to that cigarette story. the fact that it was the chief of police behind her made me bust a gut laughing!

I suspect the Police Chief's VERY Important Call was to have EM Arrested for Assault and Attempting to buy a Controlled Substance for a Minor and ED Arrested or at least Formally Warned for Attempting to Buy a Controlled Substance...

The second you said you were smoking since the age of 7 I immediately was like "his voice is WAAAAAYYYY too smooth to have smoke even once"

What I would have done is let the kids destroy everything and then charge Karen 2x the amount of damage.

Op at Halloween store did exactly right. Crazy lady has no rights to remain on private property after being asked to leave. If the cops had become involved she would very likely have been arrested for trespassing and destruction of property.

OP in the first story was well within his rights to call security after Karen pulled that crap. In fact, if I were OP, I'd hire my own security for my store after that.

I would have loved to hear that VERY important phone call. I would have died of laughter.

Destroying property is a form of theft. She should have been required to pay for the merchandise her kids ruined.

No one, kids or otherwise have the right to destroy a business's property. They should have been sued to pay.

It’s so cute about the dog finds the fluffiest dog to lay with…the only time it’s okay to be.

OP has every right to call security/ police to protect her store from violent children committing vandalism, especially since their own mother had no common sense to teach her children appropriate social behaviors.

First one, he shouldn't have said that. He should have said "Well maybe if they hadn't destroyed about half the decorations in the store, they maybe wouldn't have been removed. Those are very expensive to replace."

The “are you stupid” was the boss lol

Former Army, was part of the liaison team with the FRG and the unit. The entitlement of army spouse is crazy. One spouse destroyed the inside of her house so the frg get her new carpet and appliances and threaten to call our senator. It was almost condemn, felt sorry for the kids. The amount of entitlement is crazy.

Yeah retail nightmares still haunt me. Entitled Customers were an everyday occurrence.

If that woman was destroying my property, I would have called the police, take pictures of the damage done and had her arrested. If she sued me I would counter sue her. God help her!

First story, I think OP was perfect for calling security. She could have charged Karen for damaged decorations.

Willful destruction of private property is a crime. Karen should have been arrested and her kids should have been sent to CPS.
