My own psycho customer story? When my 16 year old twins went to work at Cookout in the drive thru. The kitchen messed up someone's burger but instead of asking to get it fixed the guy reached through the window and choke grasped my sixteen year old around the neck! When her sister screamed "let go she's a minor!" The guy bolted. But what in earth possessed him to think wrong food= choking the help?? Society is to the dogs y'all.
Scared her to death but no lasting damage. Hate to tell this Ahole but they all remembered him and now when his hateful ass comes through he's liable to get more than he bargains for. Life hack: don't mess with the people who prepare your food. Any other time in life I would tell my girls "no, spitting on a burger is wrong!" But I kinda understand. How many other times in their life will there be any sense of justice when someone screws with them?
Oh didn’t you hear… the Karen’s always get their own way when they punch, slap, kick, choke and push everyone.. it’s a Karen law that lives in their own damn heads😂😂 glad your kid is ok.
@@NenaSinclair same reason all other Karen's get their way... That old myth of the customer is always right. What it comes down to is just like all wars and disease, the working class are a secondary and disposable class of people. Cannon fodder for all occasions. It's okay this guy didn't realize the kitchen was staffed by Guatemalan father's with daughters of their own and creative ways to make abusive customers pay!
I had a neighbor who lived in a trailer park behind my house. She was constantly instigating fights with her neighbors and then siccing her big, bad, ex-con sons on them. That is, until she sicced them both on the wrong guy. When they went to give him an undeserved beating, he drew his work issued pistol and pepper spray. He sprayed them both and held them at gunpoint until his co-workers came and slapped the bracelets on them and haul them off to the Gray Bar Motel. The nut job and her son's learned that you don't pick a fight with an off duty cop! 🤣
I can not say this enough but if you get a chance stomp on the top of your attacker's foot as hard as you can. I've broken my ankle and broke the top of my foot. I walked in the broken ankle I couldn't so much as put my foot on the ground without wanting to cry. Break the top of the foot
Story #3: When that racist B uttered her first slur is when service should have been refused. Don’t try and ‘talk them down’, just refuse service and tell them to leave.
@@BrokensoulRider Don’t know about where you’re from, but here businesses are allowed to refuse service at any time to an abusive customer. It is not illegal to do so.
@@BrokensoulRider Like I wrote, maybe where you’re from there is a stupid law like that. Where I’m at, there is no such law. Most businesses do give multiple chances before refusing service, but there is no law that states they have to.
I feel in the first story. That man was straight up trying to kidnap that woman and tried to run once he realized he made too much of a scene and he might get arrested for his actions. Good on OP and their manager for acting so quickly and creating a scene!
My wife once had a woman complain that her ice water tasted like melted ice and demanded a new glass. Even the woman's husband looked at her like she lost her mind.
Personal Karen story: I used to work at a big name pizza restaurant. The kind that most franchises are just a counter for carryout and delivery. I was there long enough to work up to shift manager and most of the time we had a problem with a customer I would go out of my way to either make them as happy as I can or at least placate them enough to leave. In comes my favorite Karen. The woman walks in already in a stressed out mood looking for her order. I go through the usual script and politely ask her name. As I'm looking through the unpaid tickets I don't see anything even close to her order. Not that weird, sometimes people pay ahead. I ended up going though every ticket in the system for the day and found nothing. Not the first time I had seen something like this. I apologized for the trouble and asked if she could show me a confirmation email or some proof of purchase. I figured there may have been some mistake. There were 4 other franchises for this chain so it wasn't unusual for someone to place an order at the wrong store. I even offered to run to the back and make her order myself so she would be at the front of the line. She would be out the door in 10 minutes. She wasn't having it. She wanted her food and she wanted it now. I'm sorry miss, I can't give you an order I don't have and that hasn't been made. She then pulls out her phone to look up the email and I hear her mutter "this is the worst Papa John's I've ever been to." .....I didn't work at a Papa John's. Turns out she had walked into the wrong store and never once took in her environment enough to notice. I just cleared my throat and pointed at the sign just above my head. I politely explained where Papa John's was as she left mortified without a word. I was barely able to contain my laughter till she was out of sight.
My dad was racist af, and most of the older members of my family were only slightly less so. I am living proof it isn't genetic, because I never understood what skin color had to do with being a decent human. I have gone very extra low to zero contact with most of my family, though a very few of them might see it the other way, so they might think they are avoiding me who doesn't follow differences blindly... In any case, I'll go hang with my friends who have not passed any sort of genetic test to be my friend. I may or may not have learned this from my friends with disabilities in school. In any case, I love my friends, whether they are as pale as snow or dark as midnight, or if they can walk or have to be confined to a wheelchair, or age or gender. They are amazing people who make my tiny part of the world a MUCH better place! The biased idiots out there can go take a very long walk off a very short pier...
I know where you're coming from. My family was that way when I was little, although they did improve and later denied they were ever racist. When I look back at how I treated people as a child, I'm really ashamed. I remember in elementary school when a black woman took me aside and asked me, "Why are you like this?" I said, "Because I'm supposed to." Then she said, "But you don't have to." That was a real epiphany for me. Until that moment I had no idea that I could be different from the rest of my family. Then I started asking questions, some of which are pretty cringe, but I asked out of honestly not knowing, so I got honest answers. I'm still grateful to that woman that took the time to set me straight.
@@lorisewsstuff1607 Thank you! It takes courage to be honest. Cringe memory: I asked a black man if he was "going to get me" because my family taught me blacks were "going to get me". He made a joke of it and gave me a dollar. Bless that man for not making a 4 year old child feel like a piece of garbage! I don't think my family members older than me ever approved me having friends in wheel chairs or special ed classes, either. Those family members lost out on some amazing friends. I don't feel sorry for them, they chose their stupidity. I still have some really freaking amazing friends I wouldn't trade for anything! I hope you do, too!
@@lorisewsstuff1607 That's beautiful. What a wonderfully empathetic and understanding woman. Most would just write you off as another racist kid but she went out of her way to bless you with some empathy to call your own. People like that are what this world really needs. Understanding and guidance rather than anger and ridicule for the poor youths who haven't been shown a different way of behaving.
Story 3: The woman is racist and can't resolve problems without violence, and the son is willing to possibly send someone into a coma for any slights against his mom. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Might as well burn the whole tree and the 20ft surroundings
Also, it's quite rich that she's walking into a Chinese restaurant, ordering Chinese food, but apparently hates Chinese people. Yep, makes sense to me.
So, treat them like citrus canker? Probably a good idea although I'd feel sorry if the woman actually produced a decent child (would place a bet on it though).
That lady yelling in the hospital was lucky to only be escorted out, in Australia any medical staff have the right to call police to trespass or restrain hostile people in sensitive areas like hospitals.
@@louismonnichii7619 Yea well, in germany most of our staff working in hospitals look like that... especiel the first responsers and emergency driver.. They work in teams of 2 with at least ONE of them looking like "The Rock" himself. Their presence alone can render otherwise still dangerous situations totaly harmless (Dont know about the US but it works here in germany)
I used to be a security officer based in the Emergency department at a major hospital in Australia. I could tell you some stories that would make you glad you chose a career free from these types of degenerates lol
Story Three: That is when I would have said "KAREN if you are going to be RACIST then you may not want to eat any of that food"! I would have told her that she doesn't deserve his food.
Last story: I know it's easy to say with hindsight, but OP should have told Karen that she'd just stolen a family's stuff, and if she didn't return it immediately they'd call the police. Then actually call the police if she didn't back down.
Story 3: The moment that the lady started racially slurring about the worker would be the moment that I'd tell her that she was no longer welcome in the establishment and she should be leaving immediately. That is entirely unacceptable.
Company policies try to avoid that since it can lead to legal battles, that while they'd win, would still cost them money. It's best to diffuse the situation peacefully and end it before 10s of thousands of dollars are involved and multiple hours lost to the business because of it. It's why companies are willing to give a couple hundred dollars to someone because it's cheaper than taking it to court.
Story 1: Fluff, if you see any updates to this story, please share if you do. It's NEVER okay to grab another person like that whether you think they're an employee or not. Employees do not deserve to be treated like that either! Deli counter story: I wonder if it ever occurred to the Karen that the Asian food was already touched by the person at the Asian food counter, as he is probably the one that cooked it. It was kind of stupid for OP to fan the fires though, even if deserved. Also, let's not forget most modern supermarkets (ESPECIALLY the big chains) have cameras EVERYWHERE for anti-theft and liability reasons. If you do something stupid, it's likely being recorded and probably with audio included.
I hope the deli Karen also got charge for the threat of physical harm, doesnt matter if she is the one doing the harm or not, she is still party to it all.
Intent or not, she still put her hands on someone else’s property without their permission or knowledge. I’m pretty sure that the moment you do that, you’ve technically committed theft.
@@joebove4 I don't know about other countries, but in the UK theft is defined in law as "the dishonest appropriation of property belonging to another, with the intention permanently to deprive the other of it." All those elements must be present for it to be theft, and they are not in the story. By your definition, you are a thief if you pick up a wallet that somebody has dropped, even though you intend to return it to them.
Here s a recent IDWH story I was at a trampoline park when a lady asked me where to go. I told her I don't work there. She apologized for the exchange. Yeah, no Karen, but hey, no Karen means good news
Restaurant kitchen tile flooring is always generally slick, wet or not. That's why we are required to purchase slip-resistant footwear. I went to work at Wendy's one day with the wrong shoes and slid around the whole shift.
Story 5: You really gotta hate these sorts of people. Willing to literally steal spots and then most likely cause some serious altercations when justly confronted for it. If I had psychic powers, I'd be sending that witch into the edge of the ocean and reclaiming my stolen spot
@@livewolf9647 Yeah I was just thinking that, they had kids so probably a pail and she most likely had just that towel to lay on and if that towel happened to get soaked her day would be ruined.
I was loading some top soil with my wife, who was a Sephardic Jewish girl who a lot of people assumed was Hispanic rather than Yemeni. Someone pulled up behind our truck and shouted, “when you two are done there, you can put some topsoil and about five bags of mulch in my trunk, por favor”. I turned around so he got a good look at my police hoodie and ball cap. “You might want to find an employee to help you there, sir”.
One of our local stores has a rubber ducky squeaky toy with a note that says, "Squeeze for service." Thing is you can't squeak the ducky without laughing. When a Karen sees the ducky, she frowns which causes everyone else to laugh. Basically, the staff knows there is a customer needing help when they hear laughing. Genius!
The family on the beach who had their stuff moved by the entitled woman should have gone right back to that spot & set up camp as close to her as possible. Then encouraged their kids to be as loud & rambunctious as they wanted.
Okay, if I ever have a business with aprons, lanyards, etc it’s all going to be tear away. Someone grabs it to yank and it comes right off, I’ll call it a choking hazard prevention. A velcro tab or something
Story 1: Assault & Battery, Strangulation, Unlawful Detainment (similar to kidnapping). Story 5: Personally I would have either called the police for the theft or told the family that if they called the police I would verify the theft of their property by the Karen.
Story 5: Go to the bait shack and buy a bucket of chum. Then apply it liberally to the, um, person. She ends up covered in slime and smelling like old fish and the seagulls get very, very happy.
Once when I was a teenager working at Wendy's, I asked a 50-60yo man politely to please not flirt with me and he tried to grab me through the window while screaming that I was a little b*tch
Wait…..am I missing something, did that old bat really order (slur) food and didn’t want it from a (slur) person 😮😮😮😮😂 Well, now I know…next time I order Chinese or Mexican food, I can demand what color person serves me.. *check* I’m writing that down in the Karen laws handbook 😂
Yeah. Right. The proper answer from OP should have been "Ma'am, you're right... Step away from the wok, Steve!" Then cremate her food order. After making her pay extra for having a White Person cook it for her.
Story 3: That woman should have been banned from the store, after the first racial slur. They were still trying to de-escalate the situation, to get her money??? WTF
@@iammasterbidenspersonalsex400 because redditors lie all the time in order to get their fake internet points. If they are not admitting to doing a crime they are clearly lying
@@nomames6030 ahhh so no actual proof. So you are admitting you are God and now everyone lives. The mere fact you say they all lie while lying doesn't help your argument. Fyi, Iike I just said, we both know you are lying right now. So how does that help your argument about how every redditor lies.
The only way these idiots possibly learn their lesson is if they are convicted of assault and a hate crime spend time in jail and get sued into poverty.
You should never EVER tolerate such slurs, not even once! One slur - instant ban and refusal of service. If they do not vacate the premises within one minute, call the cops and have them arrest that vile excuse of a person tcharged for trespassing (and if legally possible - also for anything related to the slur).
A couple of Karens met their match. Years ago, I worked retail. A young mom was shopping, letting her diapered 3ish year old wander around. He, the kid, reached for the sparkly earrings on the too low to the floor, jewelry tower. She told him no, he pulled his hand back and just watched her. She turned her head but caught him reaching again when he thought she was looking away. Her response was to reach down and swat him on the diaper. He didn't cry.. he just cleaned up his little act. Two older women gasped and started to give her crap about child abuse to which she countered with "ladies, if you want him breaking into your houses in 10 years, I won't discipline him" Yes, I still remember that quote. Both of those Karens faces puckered as they grumbled and walked away.
If I had witnessed that incident, I'd have called the cops on the mom for spanking the kid. Spanking was NEVER discipline. It was ALWAYS child abuse. Anyone who defends that shit has no right to be around kids. And all the parents who spanked their kids were clearly unfit to raise kids.
@@DarDarBinks1986 My mom spanked me and my brother when we were kids. She always gave us warnings first, she always explained her reasons before and after, and she only spanked enough to get the message across, no more than 2 swats on the backside and usually one. She no longer had to spank us midway through elementary school. You might not like it, but a lot of kids don't respect alternate types of punishment unless a base punishment of discomfort is established first, and a sharp sting on the butt is a lot more merciful than other discomforts. After the baseline was established, she could punish by time outs, grounding, loss of privileges or allowance, etc and we learned to not challenge it. We loved our mom, we respected her, and most of her students loved her too and would always stop to say hi whenever they saw her in a setting outside of class. What she did was NOT child abuse, she was a better parent than most of what I see nowadays, and if you had called the cops on someone like this without knowing the situation, the one going to jail would most likely be you.
@@DarDarBinks1986 Rubbish. One smack on a well padded diapered bottom? Don't be silly. You're part of the problem of this society which is turning out self-entitled sociopaths who have never been told NO. A smack to the diaper is not SPANKING. Spanking is continuing with the action until the child is frightened, hurt and crying. Abusive behaviour is screaming at said child, along with spanking. Telling a child that age no, and a well timed swat to his diaper when he disobeys, is giving him boundaries, which HE IS SEARCHING FOR. It's what he needs. Also when they've got a diaper on, it makes a big sound, but he would barely feel it. You've got absolutely no concept on how a child NEEDS to find out what he can and can't do in society, or at home. Otherwise, as that mother said, in 10 years he's running amok and those dumb old ladies will be yelling about how bad their neighbourhood is.
@@DarDarBinks1986 I seriously doubt that kid even felt any pain from a single light swat on the bottom THROUGH A DIAPER! Do you realize how much padding diapers have? He didn't even cry, so that should tell you that he wasn't hurt at all. But no, Karens like you would rather call the police over nothing and scream that the kid is being abused. 🙄 It's not like she beat the kid or even yelled at him. I was only spanked maybe once or twice in my life. I was never hurt. I didn't like it, but it helped me realize that I needed to listen to my parents/grandparents and do what they told me to. I quickly learned how to act and behave. All they ever had to do was give me "the look" or say my name in a certain tone of voice for me to snap out of any bad behavior. So many people aren't disciplining their children anymore. Because of that, we now have kids, teens, and adults who can't deal with being told "no"/not getting their way and become violent.
Idc what corporate says, to tolerate racism for that long is horrible. I would've told her to leave with the first slur. You want to be trash, then you can go outside with the rest of it. There is no place for that behavior.
Hey fluff ! Your videos are my saving grace when my Chronic Pain keeps me awake. Makes the nights so much less dull when I'm stressed and overestimated. Gives me something else to focus on and let's me know that basic human decency isn't dead after all with the amount of unseen heroes in the comments saying what they would've done if they were there :') hope you're all well 🩷
So i just thought about this, but what if at some point we have a Karen event where the victim is also a karen and it turns into this all out brawl of self entitlement with "When Worlds Collide" playing in the background. I can just picture it. Karen 1: YOU AUSAULTED ME! Karen 2: NO, YOU AUSAULTED ME! "...now this is what it's like when worlds, COLLIIIIIIIIIIED!"
The beach story: if I was in the family that had their stuff moved...I would have just set it back around the karen and played some kind of ball game across her 😂
I worked at a Walmart in Tennessee for over 3 years and there were a few regular customers who would think it's okay to either snap their fingers or whistle to get my attention. I never responded or even let on that I heard them at all. So eventually they started clapping at me and saying hey in between claps. I would just act like that wasn't directed at me. Anyway love your videos Peace and love to you and your family ❤️🩹💜❤️🩹💜
Because of how I grew up, when fingers snap, I become a bad person. I also would have let that last Karen know I wasn't just not helping, but liable to report her for theft.
I've had a person whistle at me to get my attention and I just lost my rag and screamed "don't you *_DARE_* fucking whistle at me! I'm not a fucking DOG!" That put a lid on _that_ exchange.
As someone who works at a supermarket I can confirm that the slightest amount of water on the deli floor turns it to a bloody slipp n slide. Even with no slip shoes.
Had the exact same experience with the commenter being whistled at. Used to deliver milk in the UK. Parked up making some notes ready for my next delivery. Someone is whistling.. I ignore it. Guy comes up to me didn't you hear me whistle? Same response yes I did but as I'm not a dog I didnt know you wanted me. People...
1st story: Wow- that customer was crazy! What he did was a criminal act! Do you know that it's actually illegal to even touch a waitress or even a cashier?
Had someone grab my lanyard with my personal keys like story 1 and yank me backwards. The clip broke and I reflexively punched him in the throat (15+ years of martial arts training) He had to go to the hospital. Thank the gods for cameras, he tried to press charges, cops got the footage and hit him with a fine for a false report.
I live in a small Alberta town and can confirm - there are more racists than POC in the area. I also live a 3 minute walk from a Rexall - the employees definitely do not wear grey hoodies. Fun fact: some of the earliest settlers in Central Alberta were POC.
Last beach story, I'd have taken my family's things and set up right next to that Karen. Cue chasing the kids around, kicking up sand, loud yelling and laughing, turning up the music, and don't forget the beach balls or Frisbee. 😈
Snapping fingers? Back in the early 80's my parents and I owned a bar. We had quite a few locals as regulars. One guy must have thought he was something special because he was very rude, smug and condescending, especially with me. I guess maybe because I was in my mid 20's? He would come in sit and talk to others while nursing his beer. I would serve one of the others near him and noticing that his mug would only have a swallow of beer left. I always asked him if he wanted a refill, he would say no. He would wait until I'd get to the other end if the bar and would start knocking his mug on the bar to notify me that he wanted a refill. The longer he had to wait because I was busy with another customer the louder and longer his knocking would get. I finally had enough and told him that he was well aware of my name and ti start using it. That from now on I was done with his rudeness and self important attitude. That 8f he couldn't be polite that he was not welcome in the bar when I was working. A couple other guys further down snickered. This guy not knowing that I actually owned a share of the bar, complained to my parents. I apologize excuse my actions as being young and that they would talk to me. They mentioned it to me and boy you talk about me being mad. I explained what the problem was and that I was within my rights to not serve him for his actions. They both agreed. Next day when he come in he was all smirky face sat down I gave him his first mug of beer, the same thing happened all over again. He got a little irate and finally hollered at me to get his beer and I told him no I told you if you can't be polite then you can leave, you're not welcome at my bar. He smugly told me that he had talked to my parents and that I had to serve him. I told him as part owner of the bar I did not have to serve him. He could leave and come back later when neither my mom or dad was on the bar. He threatened to call my parents I just smiled and told him wait a minute and you can talk to dad, as he just pulled in. Dad came in and the guy started talking to him. Dad stopped him and told him he was sorry but the I had just as much right to make rules in the bar as he and mom did. The guy got pissed and left. Dad said he came back later after I went home. The next day he come in and he very nicely called me by name and ask for a beer. I later a couple of the other local regulars gave him a severe talking to. Told him thst if he couldn't behave himself not to bother coming back.
One survival tip. Never wear anything around or near your neck that can be used to strangle you! I was lucky that in most of my jobs, I could get away without wearing a tie, but wearing a black...blazer? (Is that what you call them?). And as much as I miss my long hair (I'm a guy), I am now shaving my head every few days, so no hair to grab either. And I'm old enough to fight back and not give a flying rat's ass what anybody thinks about my attitude towards self-defense. And I carry, if it comes to that.
I remember one time this woman wanted free bacon ranch fries from Wendy’s and instead of just being like I didn’t get my order she threatened me with her 300 pound 6 foot husband. I remembered their order specifically cause I was just so shocked at huge this dude was so I knew she was lying about her order and just gave her a cup of ranch instead of a whole new order 😂
All I've got to say is about people snapping their fingers at other people, I would watch out cause one day somebody might take your fingers and break them. Cause that is rude and disrespectful.
That beach story? I would have taken my stuff back over to the spot and sat on that 20-something, kicked some sand (accidentally) in his face while dumping it out of my shoes. And told the kids to bring me buckets of water to make sandcastles. Take my spot, I take it back.
This is where I always feed the birds. I thought you wanted that spot for a front row seat. Ah well. It's too late now. Good luck cleaning all of that out of the sand. My shift is over. BYE!!
I was in a grocery store looking at some beef ribs to bbq the next day. I had some dip stick women scream at me that I need to remove the meat from the biggest leg of lamb I've ever seen. I looked at her, and said, "Ma'am I'm an Animal Doctor. If you want me to surgically remove this flesh its going to be extremely expensive. Now leave alone!" Typo; spelling, spell check is my friend.
Apron Story: If I were the poor sod getting strangled by the Entitled Lunatic, the moment I felt the edge of the apron hit my throat, I'd have slammed my hand in my pocket and whip my folding utility knife out, flip it open and spin as much as I could to slash him in the wrist as hard as I could to get him to stop trying to kill me...and yes! I would be trying to open his wrist to the bone no matter how much pain the violent motions cause my fucked up shoulders because as far as I'm concerned, by yanking me backwards by the apron, he's trying to strangle me and I'm now in fear of my Life and acting in Self Defense... And Yes! I would call the Police to Press Assault and Attempted Murder Charges...
I used to snap my fingers at my dog to get her attention so I could give her an obedience command signal. I first trained her with verbal commands, but included the gestures with the verbal command so eventually she knew what the gestures meant. Using gestures is much quieter and less intrusive if other humans are around, especially if they have their dogs with them. A verbal command has *all* the dogs sitting, staying, lying down, or whatever, not just one dog. I'd never use a finger snap to get the attention of a human. That's just rude.
The beach story. If that was me coming back to my stuff moved I sure would have crunched up a bag of chips…walked over to her put up my stuff again right next to her and then dumped the bag of chips on her and watched with delight as she is swarmed with seagulls. And this is why I never have a story to share because I’m too abrasive lol
To the nurse- that person yelling could have been my patient off her meds. I work as a psych SW and I have seen alot of that. You need to stop judging people. Just bec they yell and act “off” doesn’t mean nothing is wrong. America needs to pay attention and help people with mental health issues. You call yourself a nurse, shame on you.
If I was the father in the last story, I would "borrow" the woman's towel making sure she ended up face down in the sand. Where does she get off stealing someone's tuff so she can steal their spot?!
