It was also assault, as there need not be physical contact for assault, to be within a couple of inches is considered assault. Battery requires physical contact.
@@michaeltelson9798Yep, the legal definition, as far as the US: Assault is generally defined as an intentional act that puts another person in reasonable apprehension of imminent harmful or offensive contact. No physical injury is required, but the actor must have intended to cause a harmful or offensive contact with the victim and the victim must have thereby been put in immediate apprehension of such a contact.
@@NogginNogs My knowledge is based upon training that I received as a Federal Regulatory Officer. If you come within 6 inches of another person, that is a threat to which assault is considered made. We worked at an airport and an airport duty manager shoved a business card into his breast pocket in front of police. The guy was a major AH and the airport police were salivating at arresting him. My coworker refused to press charges. We had recently charged the Duty Manager’s wife with a civil penalty for smuggling agricultural products.
That was my first thought I would have been tempted to shout just as loud as the guy "YOU WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT LOSS PREVENTION IF YOU WEREN'T STEALING!"
*BAD:* When La Chancla gets thrown and it connects.😢 *WORSE:* When La Chancla is used in hand-to-hand combat. 😰 *FUBAR:* When the one armed with La Chancla is joined by her friends... and *_THEY_* are armed with their La Chanclas!!! 😱😵⚰
I love the Abullita story as a Puerto Rican there is one rule. NEVER mess with an elderly woman with a La Chancle especially if that elderly woman is a mom and grandma whether it is her actually family or those they see as family. 🤣
I remember a time when I was helping someone shop for a laptop, and a young male employee came up and acted like I had no idea what I was talking about. I told him that I need Windows (x) Pro because I needed to be able to join the laptop to a domain, and he said that home could be added. I told him that it could not. He argued until a manager came over and told him I was right. I was a certified computer tech,. He was not. I just happened to have long hair and no dangly bits between my legs.
There are definitely people who have never stolen in their life and are constantly chased down by loss prevention, but those people rarely if ever escalate the situation in that way. They usually do the opposite as best as they can and ignore the loss prevention workers.
@@LilChuunosuke I have been falsely chased after exiting my local Walmart a couple times. Just showed my receipt and proved I didn't do anything and left. If people are near me inside, I still don't care or mind them. There's nothing I'm concerned about them seeing.
I will say one time I was shopping at the local dillons near by & a Dude was following me him following me that didn't upset me what upset me is that whenever I looked in his direction he look away & at this point I had been shopping there for years I'm guessing because I looked very young when this took place when I was in fact I was mid 20s that's the only time I ever got followed there
People working in the service industry are doing you a great favor. They provide your food, they provide your drinks, and they sell you things you need. You need them, they don't need you, so be nice to them.
Not only that, but at least here in Australia an employer can't force their employee to put up with rude and/or unreasonable customers. It's a breach of OH&S standards which can net the employer some hefty fines. Government jobs where you interact with the public always tell you that you have the right to both be and feel safe while on the job, and (for example) if someone is "going off" at you on the telephone, you're well within your rights to warn them once and then terminate the call. Retail employees have every right to refuse service to someone who is being threatening or overly demanding.
This is why we need to have more PSAs or movies showing that slapping somebody like that is going to get you arrested to stop this shit from happening.
Omg! The Publix story and the Mega Karen learning to fear a sweet old lady and la Chancla!!! Damn right be scared of that as that hurts!! I swear the abitility to nail a person with full force is genetic in some families.
My Paternal grandmother (may she rest in peace) was a very small women, barely 5 feet tall and my father and Aunt literally had trouble physically holding her back from going to my school and ripping my bullies apart with her bare hands. YOU...NEVER...MESS....WITH....A GRANDMA!
#4. Reminds me if when I worked in a pizza house. I was the closing night shift lead. A customer came in and I was up front on the register. Long story short, he uses the line, "I'm not afraid to go to jail" on me and started around the end of the counter at me. I'm 6'2' and about 210, could have put him down easy. I just lifted my shirt and put my hand on my CCW and said, "Are you afraid to die?" He turned and almost went thru the plate glass door before opening it!! Never came back!!
And probably sent mugshots of her to other resorts to put her in a Do Not Rent list. Even if they're competition, no one wants a Karen in their businesses. 😆😆😆😆
My son always says "Never underestimate the power of the slipper in a brown woman's hand." His girlfriend was playing the fool at my house once, I started to take off my slipper and she laughed, he told her my slipper is a registered deadly weapon that has killed more than all the American army.
Story 1 - With the way that guy went off on OP I’m guessing that he’s a shoplifter and has had a few encounters with Lost Provisions before either that or he’s a very paranoid dumb*** when he’s been drinking.
Not actually true, being followed around is annoying AF if they happen to think you're a specific demographic. I've been followed around the very first time in certain stores just because I looked like a teen, especially video stores, literally no reason to be following me around that closely. Besides, did it ever occur to you that being followed by default gets people's defenses up and puts them on edge? I mean there's a reason why being followed home in a car is unnerving. It's actually disruptive and makes the shopping experience miserable if you're being hovered over constantly.
I’m surprised the mom in the last story didn’t tack on “I’m the owner of this resort and the man you just assaulted is MY SON” I think that would definitely get a Karen to faint lol
I had to pause the video because I was laughing a good 5 minutes after listening to the Abuelita story. The second I heard you say the Karen had been hit with a flip-flop, I knew it was no ordinary flip-flop. It was LA CHANCLA.
I lived 32 in Tucson, Arizona and I know full well what Mexican mammas and aunts are like! Their shoe aim is astounding! Flip flops, shoes, slippers, heels....anything in reach is fair game. I also worked for a decade in the state prison systems there as an Officer...and saw many an Abuelitas when working visitation, chastising with hand gestures, as touching is off limits.
Story 1. I was hoping for the girlfriend to have been such a hood sport and that she and OP are still together. Story3. 🤣😂😅 I was laughing so hard at the “250 lb version of Kate Gosselin that I almost missed Abuelita’s chucking her La Chancla into Mega Karen’s head!!! What a super great story!!
Story 4 - What an AH. Good on the cashier to alert her manager and the manager to call the police on that jerk. Also to that AH, women can be gamers too not just guys.
Speaking of that, my sister says she's a gamer, but she barely plays any videogames she buys for herself (I end up playing them for her). It's not because I'm sexist, I jist find it funny how she says she's a gamer when she barely plays any games
As a Puerto Rican, I can give confirmation that the chancla is a military grade weapon. Don’t worry, I’ll use my chancla abilities for good against Karens! Just like Abuela!
Story 1: The asshole would have learned exactly how much I was NOT an employee when I start cussing him out at the top of my lungs with the mention that employees can't do that. Story 3: Grandma slinging a flip-flop at Mega Karen just made my day :) Story 7: Had I been Mom I would have told her that "I am the owner of this resort and you just assaulted MY CHILD! You are going to jail & you are banned for life from my property!"
Story 2. I loved the comment about launching a spoon at the Karen. Story 3. 😅😂🤣 I was laughing so hard at “ the 250 lb version of Kate Gosselin that I almost mussed Abuelita’s chucking her La Chancla at Mega Karen’s head dead on!! Super great story!!
Story 3 never mess with Hispanic grandma's I'm convinced that they all attend chancla sniper courses and have been authorized to use the skills with impunity
That loss prevention one reminds me of when I was at Walmart stationed at the door and asked to check receipts. Some people got so offended, one even got mad that I stopped them to only give a quick glance at their receipt, like " no, if you're going to accuse me of being a theif I want you to to take a good long look to realize how wrong you are." So many people would snap at me asking if I had anything better to do and I wish I could respond " no, this is literally my only task I was given and I will get in trouble for not doing it."
Being a combat related PTSD sufferer, the VERY worst thing you can do is grab me from behind. My response will be immediate, instinctive and severe. Believe me, you WILL NOT LIKE IT.
Not loss prevention story: OP, given the trouble you were having with finding a while shirt, a shirt of any color in a light shade would have done the job. As for the jerk, you should have just told him your shirt was stained (pointing it out) and you were looking for a new one. But it probably wouldn't have helped. Spoon story: She didn't argue that you did work there? Amazing! La Chancla story: I do hope the manager got the video and used it to ban Mega Karen. Chair story: I'm glad the jerk isn't afraid to go to jail, because I'm willing to bet he will eventually wind up there with his attitude. Customs story: That's an idiot of a Karen! It shouldn't be that hard to get the info she wants online. But the question isn't how much she can bring into the US, it's how much she can bring into the US duty free. I hope she didn't actually check and got hit with a large duty payment at US Customs. Wouldn't it be fun to see that meltdown? Best Buy story: Karen actually fainted when she realized she had been berating A POLICE LIEUTENANT? Oh how I hope that CCTV footage gets sneaked onto RU-vid! Resort story: Even if a person is an employee, you have no right to physically assault them. They have every right to call the police in such cases and have you charged.
I am never rude in stores/restaurants and I never get offered free stuff as compensation for my rudeness, weird isn't it. If you reward bad behaviour, people will go on behaving badly. Story 4 shows how it is correctly done. Customer protects employee, who protects the customer by escalating to her manager, who calls the police on Ahole instead of apologizing and giving free stuff to the aggressor. That is a shop I would enjoy shopping in.
The only people who help Karen are paid or otherwise required to do so. Therefore whenever Karen sees someone helping another, the helper must be an employee.
The bar Karen... That's a quick change artist. They try to confuse cashiers to get extra money. Once they start, you stop, and call a manager over to help you. One transaction at a time. And different change comes as the next transaction, not the same transaction. Shut the drawer, do a no sale, and write on the receipt the change requested, and given. This messes up their plans, because you're writing it all down, and doing it slowly, with a manager also counting the change. 😁 No free money for you. 😝😏🤣
Abuelita vs Karen. Flip flops at 20 paces. She winds up and scores! The crowd goes wild! S6..lol...she didnt faint , the hamster powering the wheel driving her brain overheated and it passed out
I've come to the conclusion that Karens are mainly toddlers trapped in adult bodies. The inability to respect boundaries, zero regard for the word no being a complete sentence and nothing resembling a sense of accountability, all of it.
Hey Fluff, @ 18:12 You stated, "I'm sure that she couldn't handle being so wrong that her brain just shut off." Show me a Karen whose brain is fully functional and I will show you a 7-dollar bill.
I live in south Texas, and most of my friends have a story about their Abuela and her flying chancla. The way the guy described her, “winding up like an MLB pitcher,” was exactly how my friends described their Abuelas’ ferocity and deadly accuracy in flinging her chancla. Upon hearing those stories, I’ve always been on my best behavior when visiting my friends’ Abuelas.
Story 3. I love people like Avolita. I understand Body Language, English, and German. Despite growing up around Hispanic Culture in two States, I don’t understand too much Spanish so I read body language and demeanor instead. People like her are what I grew up with for a lot of Neighbors. Tamales were to die for. If the Chuckla came into play, you knew you were done for. One neighbor’s kid and I were good friends back then. She came out with the Chuckla twice and my Mom told her not to be afraid to direct it at me if she needed to. Damn I miss those days. Mega Karen had it coming. Fear the Chuckla.
Just hearing "Hello, my wonderful, beautiful friends" gets you a like right off the bat every time. Sounds silly, but that intro makes my day better and whatever travails I'm dealing with seem less important. Thanks for that.
People really shouldn’t be able to leave grade school without understanding that the best way to get people to help you is to be kind to them, regardless of if it is their job or not.
Omg, when OP and the Karen turned to see Abuelita with one flip flop missing and the other brandished I just immediately thought of the super smash bros. "___ Joins the battle meme.". Might've even hummed the smash bros theme a bit for the climax of that story.
I really would stop the "i am sorry" and excusing myself the moment they interrupt and/ir screams at me from out of nowhere. I have nothing to be sorry about
Anyone who gets upset that loss prevention is following them either is doing something wrong, has done it often enough and had run ins, and /or believes they are entitled to being left alone ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. See they can follow behind you by 5 feet the entire time you're in the store and they legally have the right to. Any employee actually, but loss prevention are trained to deal with confrontation. It's private property and the owner of the property sets what can happen inside the letter of the law. So if they are watching you, just ignore and go about your business. They will figure out you're not doing anything you're trying to hide and move on. If however you're throwing a fit because they won't give you space to steal, then umm. That's a job well done for them. You aren't ENTITLED to steal
