Yep! I always try to shake the hand of one or both of the pilots if they’re still around when I’m getting off the plane. Thank them for a good flight. At least one of them is usually standing right outside the cockpit off to the side. I also greet the flight attendants when I’m boarding and thank them as I’m getting off.
If I ever got taken out of a store in handcuffs, I think I would be too ashamed to ever show my face there again, formally banned or not. But of course shame is something these Karens tend not to have!
A full suit of armor like his (going off the photo) would be around 5 grand, definitely more if it was custom fitted to his frame ($7,500 up to 10s of thousands). A good friend of mine does the sword fighting competitions/reenactments at shows and his full suit was custom fitted to him and it ran $8,000 (give or take a few 100). Almost all real suits of armor are hand made by a legit blacksmith and this is why they are the price of a used car, but they are awesome and in person you can see the insane detail that went into making it
Can confirm, my SO does the same and his ran about that much. Though he bought his piece by piece through different blacksmiths who specialized in each piece. I had to measure him in every dimension to send to the makers since it's essentially metal clothes. (most people also buy a special set of padded armor to go under the outer layer because armor isn't great to wear on it's own.)
@@jamessparks7728 A full suit can weigh upwards of 100lb, plate armour for a big man will be at least 140lb depending on the gauge (thickness) as decorative plate is much thinner than fighting plate
When I went looking, anywhere from $100,000 to $250,000 was listed for real armor, so potentially he could have spent a lot more on this if he wanted to.

Same in the US. Bags left unattended are assumed to be filled with incendiary devices or drugs.

Can't be too careful, eh? 😉

That's the right way. But be careful turning your back on any potential threat. Do not engage. Do not explain. But watch your back. Many of these types sound actually mentally unhinged.
@@cyndib511 which seems to be one of the hiring requirements for all Walmart managers. I worked there briefly back in the early 2000s and when I was about to get my medical benefits, I was suspiciously fired for “work-related performance issues” and for profanity. I'm not going to lie and say I don't swear, I do. The fact that they singled me out when the smokers area had some of the foulest language that would have made a sailor blush. There was one nasty older lady who I will call out by her real name because she's no doubt dead by now Phyllis, who went on racist tirades against the people who shopped and came through her line. Nothing ever happened to her. As far as work-related issues? I was never late and I always did my job. I also suspect the reason why I was canned was because I complained about my food missing from the break room fridge and that someone had vandalized my car with a certain homophobic slur on it. Despite there being cameras in the parking lot, they couldn't get a good look at who did it or when it happened or so they claimed. It would have been an HR nightmare, but with uncooperative management, it would have hit a wall before it got any traction.
Story 2: Tell me you are a rich out of touch entitled trust fund baby, without telling me you are a rich out of touch entitled trust fund baby Last Story: A full suit of proper armour would cost thousands, to tens of thousands, but a cheap cosmetic armour set. Made out of thin gauge metal with zero defensive capability and made to look cool could be bought for a few hundred to maybe a thousand for a good one. What makes real armour so expensive (other than the materials) is it's always bespoke, handmade and made to fit one person.
Right? I briefly worked as a chainsmith at faires, and my suits started at $2,000. Chain tabards were $1,000 before the final cloth, and a custom design there ranged from $250 to another thou. Dude wore a suit hunting (which, why? The noise would scare EVERYTHING away) and sent me an email later----apparently someone's round caromed off a rock and the suit stopped it. Either that, or dudebro literally got shot. Given the habits of people who hunt and drink at the same time, I'm not sure which I believe more.
21:09 that's actually really cool armor, OP! I can definitely see how that Karen would be intimidated. A person in a suit of armor can actually be quite fearsome.
I HATE that old saying, " no good deed goes unpunished. " I still refuse to help that woman, I go to my manager if that Karen said my manager and have him tell her that I'm on my day off.
If I were the owner of an establishment and my kid told me that some guy cut in line and screamed one of my employees and my child and s/he had him kicked out of the place and banned him for life I’d applaud their good judgment! The father here seemed to care more about the image of the theater in the eyes of one jerk then an employee and one of his kids. What a shame…
And the minute it wasn’t his theater anymore he didn’t care, sounds like he’s one of those people that allow the “customer is always right” to be abused
#2 Karen : «I want this bell boy...». Gate agent, asking the pilot that Karen called «bell boy» : «Captain ? ...». At that moment, Karen should have realized that she screwed herself big time. #3 That Karen is the kind who can't learn. Even pressing charges against him won't have any effect on his behaviour and pathological entitlement. #6 Yes, OP was the Perfect guy to call in that situation. Impressive and intimidating. Exactly what was needed to take care of that jerk. Very nice set of armour by the way.
That last story was so awesome! I love the way OP went with it and told that guy off, and it was nice that he let people take pictures with him, too. He seems like such a stand-up guy
Story 4: So OP dad is mad at his child standing up for a employee from a Karen. Wow just wow. What a Karen move for the dad. The kid doesn’t like yelling so the kid told the Karen what he thought and who his dad was. So why is the dad getting angry at his kid. If I was the kids mom, I would yell at the dad for yelling at the kid.” Don’t be assholes to people.
Evt. it was his business mind because one unsatisfied customer can cost you hundreds of new customers. On the other side satisfied customers doesn't have that impact. That is why many businesses accept everything a..hole customers do. They do what they think it's easy and in short sight better for business and not what it is right.
Lol, that airline story. That lady should just be grateful this wasn't post-9/11 air travel, or her bag would have been taken out on the tarmac and blown up on top of her being removed by security. XD The idea of just... throwing your bag at a total stranger and expecting this to end in something other than federal criminal charges. What a weird thought in this day and age. Bet she was planning on lighting up a cigarette on the plane, too.
Story 2: Last time I was at an airport, with carry-on luggage cause standby, there weren't any bell boys who carried your luggage for you, if I remember correctly, probably because all the luggage people are busy loading luggage into the plane itself, lady was so delusional, she made up a bell-boy position on the spot, because she hated carrying her luggage, don't do that.
There used to be people that help carry luggage but that pretty much stopped in the 70s. While there may still be some they won't be dressed like flight crew.
Some owners/managers don’t know the difference between ‘good’ customers and ‘regular’ customers, it’s rather common in those positions to forget the definitions of the words.
RE: Knight I used to do con security at 90s CreationCons. They used people from the local Klingon clubs, so we were mostly in costume. It's amazing how much you can get away with dressed as a Klingon. People just don't talk back.
Last story: In Germany we have a saying: "Kleider machen Leute!" (Clothing makes people!) I'm working in my business just 4 years, but by wearing an old dirty apron people believe that i have lots of experience.... Also, when i'm wearing my Native American outfit, all people step aside when i come along. Wearing the right outfit works sometimes as a shield, it gives you the confidence that nothing can hurt you!
I dress as a Police Officer for my work at a Police Museum and one day, whilst out flyering, I chanced across a fender bender which looked like it was going to get ugly. One guy made to swing but spotted me in my uniform, quickly dropped his arm, smiled and recommended they swap details and let the Insurers sort it out. And I never said a thing.
Story 1: Karen knew that OP wasn't getting paid and still tried to make them do her dirty work, if it was me i'd say that i'd gladly do the work but charge her a fee for making me work on my day off
The OP of the "Suit of Armor" story was someone after my own heart. I would have loved to buy a suit of armor at that age, and I was a similar height with an even thinner build at 17. It's awesome that he was able to defeat that "dragon" of a male Karen!
I knew people that had armor like that for events held by a group called The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) and full plate armor is around $5,000 USD as it is fitted to the person wearing it. I saw 16 gauge helms that went for upwards of a thousand dollars with all the padding and leather straps to hold it in place. I would have been laughing like crazy watching the Rectal Cranial Invert stammer his way into leaving.
Oh, FOR SURE. You can be the nicest of guys with the most polite words to say - but wrapping them up in a hundred pounds of steel turns them into terrifying beasts of steel and leather!
Story 1: Hold out your hand and ask if she's gonna pay. If you're on the clock just for her, she needs to pay, since it's work. Or does she think people work for free? 🤔
See in that first story, the Karen probably told someone what she did and that person pointed out that she's a garbage human and she was mortified and never interacted with OP again. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
"My movie is about to start!" "That's a shame. You should have set your alarm five minutes earlier I guess. Sucks to be you." Like, your movie is about to start, so you're going to make everyone else who budgeted their time late to their movie.
HEheh the suit of armor: an ancient intimidating form, and certainly true! It worked in the days of yore, it worked for Ned Kelly (a highway man from Down Under who wore a suit of armor) and it worked for OP.
The "bellboy" story: She left her bags, out of her posession. TSA would LOVE to discuss this for her. A no-fly list might cool her ardor for following "bellboys" around the concourse.
Story 1: Seriously, don't go to work on your day off, or anywhere near it. If you must get something, have it delivered, have someone else get it for you, or, as a last resort, get it before or after your shift. Then you can tell the Karen, either at the start of your shift, "one moment I'll be right with you", or at the end, carrying stuff, "I'm helping someone else right now and will be a while, please find another associate." You don't have to specify that the "someone else" is yourself and "a while" is the two minutes it takes to carry your merchandise to your car, plus whatever time you have off until you next clock in.
I worked for a local government agency; I once had a lady call me when she really needed a county agency. She was very insistent that I transfer her to that agency and I told her that wasn't possible. She was insistent that I could. Even after explaining multiple times I couldn't, because they were on a totally different phone system. Finally I said I couldn't do it any more than she could transfer me to my sister on her phone. After saying that, she finally understood why I couldn't do as she wanted.
I once had a similar situation to the chap with the suit of armor except I was in traditional Japanese Samurai clothing complete with a 1 meter long Katana (Samurai sword). It's amazing how fast the shut up and become the most polite person in the world.
Story 6: Those suits of armor can run anywhere from $200 to 20k+ depending. That one looks like it would be on the lower end so probably around 800-1k. I could be wrong because it depends on the material, the fit, how much is custom and the under padding (gambeson, chainmail, ect.)
@@Lindseyisloony Time stamp where he says his weight. I didn't not see that anywhere. Maybe because he never mentioned it. As far as the weight of the armor goes, many people just estimate it, and wearing 55 pounds of armor feels heavy. I've had many people say their armor weighs that much or more, but it's nothing more than them being mistaken. Take weight with a grain of salt. Most people don't actually weight the stuff.
@@MNNski Plus, with armor the weight is generally well distributed throughout the body, so it's a lot easier to wear than, say, a backpack loaded with the same amount of weight. Modern soldiers, some of whom may only weigh 140lbs, are generally expected to haul around way more weight than a full suit of armor in gear. According to the GAO, a full loadout can be between 90 and 159 lbs., depending on the soldier's specialty and mission requirements.
Story 4: I wonder what would've happened if OP said that they had the authority to deny the ruder guy access to the Movie if he didn't get back in line
Story 5: OP stole my story. This happened to me years ago when I worked retail. This guy was the biggest POS. I finally told the guy to piss off. I can’t help you and I refuse to be yelled at. I hung up and ten minutes later the guys wife called back to apologize.
I never accept an apology on behalf of someone else. All it says to me that this is not the first time and that they are not going to change as others make excuses for them.
I work at Walgreens as a cashier in the store area, not in the pharmacy. When I first started working there I was not told how to transfer their calls, so I used to page them on the overhead. If they didn't pick up the call in a certain amount of time, the call would ring back to my phone. If they were really busy, they wouldn't answer the phone. I can't remember how many times the customer would get mad at me because they didn't pick the call up. And yes, a few times someone told me to go to the pharmacy and tell them to pick up the phone. I tried to explain that I am cashiering in the store and can't just walk away from customers at the register in the front of the store to walk to the pharmacy at the back of the store. (As if they are going to pick up the phone just because I tell them to.) Someone finally told me how to transfer the call so that it stays there and doesn't ring back. So now I always transfer the call. But there's more. When they answer the phone they say "Walgreens Pharmacy", which obviously we don't. And yet I still all the time get customers that just start talking about their prescription or their doctor told them this and I try to say "Excuse me" and they keep rambling on so I have to say it a couple more times before they pause and I tell them "This isn't the pharmacy. Let me transfer you". Oh, the joy of working retail.
Lol effing awesome last story. Love when Karen's get shut down like that and eat their words and actually do what they're supposed to do. Op was awesome. Thanks for another great vid fluff.
FYI: I'm an actual armorer for the SCA, and real functional suits of armor like this, not built to current sword sport dueling standards (HEMA), run from about $1000 on the bottom end to upwards of $5000 i would estimate that one is in the $1500-$2000 range... and pretty nice work to boot. if it is built to HEMA standards double or possibly triple that price.
That would be a dream experience of karma justice with the knight costume, it's like being in a house while your friends persuade the town bullies to come in saying that it is haunted and making them think that it's just a bluff. Then scaring the piss out of them.
For the lady who dropped her bags in an airport and walked away I'd be tempted to call airport security and let them know that there's a bunch of unattended bags. Tell them the truth but the lady walked up dropped her bags and then hustled away to take a flight.
#3 - How good can a customer be if he only buys items on sale and scares away decent, returning customers with his antics? I don't see this as a loss for that small store.
For story 4, seeing as I work in a movie theater, I can tell you that people this entitled do come in, and it’s not uncommon. Just the other day, when I was working the box office/ticket counter, A guy and his five or six boys come up to see the new minions movie. It was a tuesday, a $5 day for our theater, so a lot of people had booked in advance, as you can imagine. I told the guy that all the available shows were more or less sold out, with only front row seats available in most of, if not all the showings. He complained about how it should just be like the old days when it was open seating and not reserved seating for like 10 minutes until he gave up and got something else for a few hours later. Of course he swore at me under his breath, but I wasn’t about to get into it with him.
Today, I had an amazing encounter at Target - I was shopping and the price scanner at the end of the aisle wasn't working - I walked up to an employee who was filling orders for people, asked if she could scan the price for me - which she did without incident, and then she said "Oh, are you Red Circle? If you are look it up in your app - you'll get a 20% coup on" - I love it when people are kind and patient.
Karen: I am the daughter of the owner. I WILL get you fired OP: Oh! I didn't know that the primates in the zoo nearby could own property and a business?!
Story 4: dad went from being the worst kind of boss we've all had (seriously? I'm not "allowed" to stand up for a friend? F that.) to at least admitting that telling off a rude customer was a good move. We love to see character growth.
I want to imagine that in the last story the guy went to go get the manager and all you hear in the background is heavy thumping and clanking of metal foot steps
MK might have been a Loyal, Paying Customer, but I can absolutely Guarantee he wasn't Good for the store in any way since his attitude has likely scared off more business than he ever gave them... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
From what I know Fluff the answer to your question about the cost of armor will put you in the range of 700-1000 bucks depending on 1) where you buy it 2) the quality of the metal and design 3) how renowned the seller is
Story 3: He accuses OP for stealing, then proceeds to steal from AND punch them. I swear, I hate that some customers are just greedy
Worse part is that this isn't the first time that Kevin was led away in handcuffs, yet he was allowed to come back because he's spends a lot instead of being banned? That's a liability waiting to happen.
@@IzzyPR2010 Right! He has "make this go away money." and that is not going to end well for anyone...
I would rather lose a nasty customer than lose my self respect. No amount of money can buy back good customers, regardless of how much they spend.

Far as I can tell, it's not just that they don't *want* us to do anything work related while off the clock, it's that for legal reasons we *can't* do work related things while off the clock.
That's the right way. But be careful turning your back on any potential threat. Do not engage. Do not explain. But watch your back. Many of these types sound actually mentally unhinged.
@@greyrifterrellik5837 you can actually be fired for working off the clock, if you have an AH manager with a God complex.
@@cyndib511 which seems to be one of the hiring requirements for all Walmart managers. I worked there briefly back in the early 2000s and when I was about to get my medical benefits, I was suspiciously fired for “work-related performance issues” and for profanity. I'm not going to lie and say I don't swear, I do. The fact that they singled me out when the smokers area had some of the foulest language that would have made a sailor blush. There was one nasty older lady who I will call out by her real name because she's no doubt dead by now Phyllis, who went on racist tirades against the people who shopped and came through her line. Nothing ever happened to her. As far as work-related issues? I was never late and I always did my job. I also suspect the reason why I was canned was because I complained about my food missing from the break room fridge and that someone had vandalized my car with a certain homophobic slur on it. Despite there being cameras in the parking lot, they couldn't get a good look at who did it or when it happened or so they claimed. It would have been an HR nightmare, but with uncooperative management, it would have hit a wall before it got any traction.
I was told that and said nope thats the same as working its not going to happen. Former walmart employee.
Story 2: Tell me you are a rich out of touch entitled trust fund baby, without telling me you are a rich out of touch entitled trust fund baby
Last Story: A full suit of proper armour would cost thousands, to tens of thousands, but a cheap cosmetic armour set. Made out of thin gauge metal with zero defensive capability and made to look cool could be bought for a few hundred to maybe a thousand for a good one. What makes real armour so expensive (other than the materials) is it's always bespoke, handmade and made to fit one person.
Right? I briefly worked as a chainsmith at faires, and my suits started at $2,000. Chain tabards were $1,000 before the final cloth, and a custom design there ranged from $250 to another thou.
Dude wore a suit hunting (which, why? The noise would scare EVERYTHING away) and sent me an email later----apparently someone's round caromed off a rock and the suit stopped it.
Either that, or dudebro literally got shot. Given the habits of people who hunt and drink at the same time, I'm not sure which I believe more.
Story 6: I like how OP played along and successfully intimidated a male Karen before even saying anything.
Honestly, I am amazed
I was pretty much cracking my head off!
He roll for intimadation and got a net 20 (+5 Armoured)
I mean, a guy who’s 6’ 5 in a full suit of steel armor walking towards you would scare just about anyone
21:09 that's actually really cool armor, OP! I can definitely see how that Karen would be intimidated. A person in a suit of armor can actually be quite fearsome.
I HATE that old saying, " no good deed goes unpunished. " I still refuse to help that woman, I go to my manager if that Karen said my manager and have him tell her that I'm on my day off.
If I were the owner of an establishment and my kid told me that some guy cut in line and screamed one of my employees and my child and s/he had him kicked out of the place and banned him for life I’d applaud their good judgment! The father here seemed to care more about the image of the theater in the eyes of one jerk then an employee and one of his kids. What a shame…
And the minute it wasn’t his theater anymore he didn’t care, sounds like he’s one of those people that allow the “customer is always right” to be abused
He was also getting labor for unpaid children. That could have blown up in his face big time.
Agreed, drop the ban hammer! 😮
Story 6: The man is a Skyrim guard. 😂
"Stop shopping..." really? regardless of whether you still work there or not, doesn't mean you can't patronize that same shop.
As a knight geek myself, I can only imagine the rush of actually being able to do a 'knightly' deed!
Deus Volt!
I would love to direct traffic in a suit of armor. My go-to line would of course be, "None shall pass!"
Would you also ask them "what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" 🤣
Yeah, Gandolf should be OP's next year's costume!
@@nancyomalley6286 wrong reference. Gandalf said "You shall not pass!". I was quoting the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
@@DragynGirl I would tell them I would let them through only if they brought me..... A shrubbery!!!
That last story was priceless! Talk about the Tin Man of OZ having to deal with a "kevin". 😀
Story 2: Karen tried to get OP to carry her bags and then OP gets her banned from the Flight, talk about Karmic inconvenience
#2 Karen : «I want this bell boy...». Gate agent, asking the pilot that Karen called «bell boy» : «Captain ? ...». At that moment, Karen should have realized that she screwed herself big time.
#3 That Karen is the kind who can't learn. Even pressing charges against him won't have any effect on his behaviour and pathological entitlement.
#6 Yes, OP was the Perfect guy to call in that situation. Impressive and intimidating. Exactly what was needed to take care of that jerk. Very nice set of armour by the way.
That last story was so awesome! I love the way OP went with it and told that guy off, and it was nice that he let people take pictures with him, too. He seems like such a stand-up guy
Imagine you see a giant Paladin marching down a hospital directly at you while your in your car.
Story 4:
So OP dad is mad at his child standing up for a employee from a Karen. Wow just wow. What a Karen move for the dad. The kid doesn’t like yelling so the kid told the Karen what he thought and who his dad was. So why is the dad getting angry at his kid. If I was the kids mom, I would yell at the dad for yelling at the kid.” Don’t be assholes to people.
Guess Dad subscribes to "Respect your Elders, even if they're an AH to you.."
Evt. it was his business mind because one unsatisfied customer can cost you hundreds of new customers. On the other side satisfied customers doesn't have that impact. That is why many businesses accept everything a..hole customers do. They do what they think it's easy and in short sight better for business and not what it is right.
Meanwhile, Dad is running the theater with unpaid child labor. What a mess.
A customer like this makes no difference to the Bottom Line! There are many more good customers to replace the AH. 😮
First story: Sounds like that ended well if she never had to deal with that customer again.
Lol, that airline story. That lady should just be grateful this wasn't post-9/11 air travel, or her bag would have been taken out on the tarmac and blown up on top of her being removed by security. XD
The idea of just... throwing your bag at a total stranger and expecting this to end in something other than federal criminal charges. What a weird thought in this day and age. Bet she was planning on lighting up a cigarette on the plane, too.
The last story was so awesome and that armor looked so good. Cheapest I've seen a full plate suit of armor was $9,000
Fun fact, pharmacy message even says that if you have an emergency, call 911. At least ours does.
Story 2:
Last time I was at an airport, with carry-on luggage cause standby, there weren't any bell boys who carried your luggage for you, if I remember correctly, probably because all the luggage people are busy loading luggage into the plane itself, lady was so delusional, she made up a bell-boy position on the spot, because she hated carrying her luggage, don't do that.
And aren't bellboys associated with hotels?
There used to be people that help carry luggage but that pretty much stopped in the 70s. While there may still be some they won't be dressed like flight crew.
Story 2: The captain didn't look behind him to see the explosion, just like an action movie badass.
Story 1: obviously, OP's boss told the customer to knock it off. That's why the customer avoided OP (out of embarrassment).
I love that employee!
The instant I hears "captain" 😈
Love that last story. I also wondered how much loot a get up like that would cost.
Some owners/managers don’t know the difference between ‘good’ customers and ‘regular’ customers, it’s rather common in those positions to forget the definitions of the words.
Moral of these stories: Don't claim to know the owner of a business unless your favorite dish is crow.
LoL love the last story with the guy dressed in medieval armor. Made my day.
RE: Knight I used to do con security at 90s CreationCons. They used people from the local Klingon clubs, so we were mostly in costume. It's amazing how much you can get away with dressed as a Klingon. People just don't talk back.
Last story:
In Germany we have a saying: "Kleider machen Leute!" (Clothing makes people!)
I'm working in my business just 4 years, but by wearing an old dirty apron people believe that i have lots of experience....
Also, when i'm wearing my Native American outfit, all people step aside when i come along.
Wearing the right outfit works sometimes as a shield, it gives you the confidence that nothing can hurt you!
If I'm in a must get things done mood its a button up shirt with clip on tie. If I'm in general go with the flow work its polo shirt
I dress as a Police Officer for my work at a Police Museum and one day, whilst out flyering, I chanced across a fender bender which looked like it was going to get ugly.
One guy made to swing but spotted me in my uniform, quickly dropped his arm, smiled and recommended they swap details and let the Insurers sort it out.
And I never said a thing.
Last story - man, can we get OP to come in costume to a lot of stores to set the idiots straight? That is just too cool.
Love that the con-merchant not only lost out in court by admitting his guilt and con, but got taken to the cleaners, losing his original $2500
Story 1: Karen knew that OP wasn't getting paid and still tried to make them do her dirty work,
if it was me i'd say that i'd gladly do the work but charge her a fee for making me work on my day off
The OP of the "Suit of Armor" story was someone after my own heart. I would have loved to buy a suit of armor at that age, and I was a similar height with an even thinner build at 17. It's awesome that he was able to defeat that "dragon" of a male Karen!
I knew people that had armor like that for events held by a group called The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) and full plate armor is around $5,000 USD as it is fitted to the person wearing it. I saw 16 gauge helms that went for upwards of a thousand dollars with all the padding and leather straps to hold it in place. I would have been laughing like crazy watching the Rectal Cranial Invert stammer his way into leaving.
Rci. Love it. I'm going to have to remember that one.😆
Oh, FOR SURE. You can be the nicest of guys with the most polite words to say - but wrapping them up in a hundred pounds of steel turns them into terrifying beasts of steel and leather!
Love the suit of armor. Definitely not cheap. They are actually quite expensive because of the time it takes to make them out of such thick steel.
I’m impressed as anything that kid walked around that tin can for 2 1/2 hours. That can’t be an easy thing to do
Story 1:
Hold out your hand and ask if she's gonna pay. If you're on the clock just for her, she needs to pay, since it's work. Or does she think people work for free? 🤔
See in that first story, the Karen probably told someone what she did and that person pointed out that she's a garbage human and she was mortified and never interacted with OP again. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
No good deed goes unpunished.
I've always wondered where this saying came from. Lol
"My movie is about to start!" "That's a shame. You should have set your alarm five minutes earlier I guess. Sucks to be you." Like, your movie is about to start, so you're going to make everyone else who budgeted their time late to their movie.
The knight story missed the obvious opportunity…
MK; I DEMAND TO EXIT THIS WAY!
OP; NONE SHALL PASS!
HEheh the suit of armor: an ancient intimidating form, and certainly true! It worked in the days of yore, it worked for Ned Kelly (a highway man from Down Under who wore a suit of armor) and it worked for OP.
I just loved the second story..
Karma served hot n how!
The "bellboy" story: She left her bags, out of her posession. TSA would LOVE to discuss this for her. A no-fly list might cool her ardor for following "bellboys" around the concourse.
In present day, yes. The story took place at Denver Stapleton, which dates the story to pre-1995.
That suit of Armour is awesome. Surprised he was able to stand for such a long time.
Guilt is crawling on her back.
Now OP needs to save up for/rent a horse in armour and he'll be the best manager for Halloween to deal with people like this.
Story 1: Seriously, don't go to work on your day off, or anywhere near it. If you must get something, have it delivered, have someone else get it for you, or, as a last resort, get it before or after your shift. Then you can tell the Karen, either at the start of your shift, "one moment I'll be right with you", or at the end, carrying stuff, "I'm helping someone else right now and will be a while, please find another associate." You don't have to specify that the "someone else" is yourself and "a while" is the two minutes it takes to carry your merchandise to your car, plus whatever time you have off until you next clock in.
I worked for a local government agency; I once had a lady call me when she really needed a county agency. She was very insistent that I transfer her to that agency and I told her that wasn't possible. She was insistent that I could. Even after explaining multiple times I couldn't, because they were on a totally different phone system. Finally I said I couldn't do it any more than she could transfer me to my sister on her phone. After saying that, she finally understood why I couldn't do as she wanted.
I LOVED that last story!!! That was epic!!! Love that guy's style! I'd totally buy a suit of armor if I had that much money to spare. lol
I once had a similar situation to the chap with the suit of armor except I was in traditional Japanese Samurai clothing complete with a 1 meter long Katana (Samurai sword). It's amazing how fast the shut up and become the most polite person in the world.
Story 6: Those suits of armor can run anywhere from $200 to 20k+ depending. That one looks like it would be on the lower end so probably around 800-1k. I could be wrong because it depends on the material, the fit, how much is custom and the under padding (gambeson, chainmail, ect.)
Imaginary armour is free and the story is fake. 6' 5" but weighs only 140lbs and walks around in something weighing over 100lbs? Um nope.
@@Lindseyisloony Time stamp where he says his weight. I didn't not see that anywhere. Maybe because he never mentioned it. As far as the weight of the armor goes, many people just estimate it, and wearing 55 pounds of armor feels heavy.
I've had many people say their armor weighs that much or more, but it's nothing more than them being mistaken. Take weight with a grain of salt. Most people don't actually weight the stuff.
@@MNNski Plus, with armor the weight is generally well distributed throughout the body, so it's a lot easier to wear than, say, a backpack loaded with the same amount of weight.
Modern soldiers, some of whom may only weigh 140lbs, are generally expected to haul around way more weight than a full suit of armor in gear. According to the GAO, a full loadout can be between 90 and 159 lbs., depending on the soldier's specialty and mission requirements.
@@MNNski Guess you didn't pay attention, weight is clearly stated at the beginning of the story.
Story 1: "No good deed goes unpunished." Ancient Wisdom!
Story 4: I wonder what would've happened if OP said that they had the authority to deny the ruder guy access to the Movie if he didn't get back in line
#2-I did not expect how it turned out! Dang! Hope she found another flight.
I’ve always hated managers who are willing to throw their employees under the bus for a customer who isn’t worth keeping
Story 5: OP stole my story. This happened to me years ago when I worked retail. This guy was the biggest POS. I finally told the guy to piss off. I can’t help you and I refuse to be yelled at. I hung up and ten minutes later the guys wife called back to apologize.
I never accept an apology on behalf of someone else. All it says to me that this is not the first time and that they are not going to change as others make excuses for them.
The kid with the knight armor... all I can say to that is, _what a legend._
I work at Walgreens as a cashier in the store area, not in the pharmacy. When I first started working there I was not told how to transfer their calls, so I used to page them on the overhead. If they didn't pick up the call in a certain amount of time, the call would ring back to my phone. If they were really busy, they wouldn't answer the phone. I can't remember how many times the customer would get mad at me because they didn't pick the call up. And yes, a few times someone told me to go to the pharmacy and tell them to pick up the phone. I tried to explain that I am cashiering in the store and can't just walk away from customers at the register in the front of the store to walk to the pharmacy at the back of the store. (As if they are going to pick up the phone just because I tell them to.) Someone finally told me how to transfer the call so that it stays there and doesn't ring back. So now I always transfer the call. But there's more. When they answer the phone they say "Walgreens Pharmacy", which obviously we don't. And yet I still all the time get customers that just start talking about their prescription or their doctor told them this and I try to say "Excuse me" and they keep rambling on so I have to say it a couple more times before they pause and I tell them "This isn't the pharmacy. Let me transfer you". Oh, the joy of working retail.
Not all heroes wear capes... some wear a suit of armor.
Lol effing awesome last story. Love when Karen's get shut down like that and eat their words and actually do what they're supposed to do. Op was awesome. Thanks for another great vid fluff.
Touching other people's stuff is a great way to get sued. Never do it.
FYI: I'm an actual armorer for the SCA, and real functional suits of armor like this, not built to current sword sport dueling standards (HEMA), run from about $1000 on the bottom end to upwards of $5000 i would estimate that one is in the $1500-$2000 range... and pretty nice work to boot. if it is built to HEMA standards double or possibly triple that price.
The last story is my favorite. Intimidation +10 with that armor. That is if you ask me. And then he nat 20ed on top of it.
That would be a dream experience of karma justice with the knight costume, it's like being in a house while your friends persuade the town bullies to come in saying that it is haunted and making them think that it's just a bluff. Then scaring the piss out of them.
Knight op should have shouted NONE SHALL PASS! real missed opportunity there
For the lady who dropped her bags in an airport and walked away I'd be tempted to call airport security and let them know that there's a bunch of unattended bags. Tell them the truth but the lady walked up dropped her bags and then hustled away to take a flight.
He needs to add the chainmail gauntlets. His bare hands ruin the effect. And it’d be really awesome if he had a sword.
He was a "regular" customer, not a "good and loyal customer". A regular troublemaker customer. Not worth it!
Love these stories of all the karens getting owned. Hahaa my favorite so far is the suit or armor. I laughed hard at that one. 🤣
I was about to be disappointed that we didn't get to see the suit of armor, but then that picture shows up. Holy cow, that is so amazing!
#3 - How good can a customer be if he only buys items on sale and scares away decent, returning customers with his antics? I don't see this as a loss for that small store.
For story 4, seeing as I work in a movie theater, I can tell you that people this entitled do come in, and it’s not uncommon. Just the other day, when I was working the box office/ticket counter, A guy and his five or six boys come up to see the new minions movie. It was a tuesday, a $5 day for our theater, so a lot of people had booked in advance, as you can imagine. I told the guy that all the available shows were more or less sold out, with only front row seats available in most of, if not all the showings. He complained about how it should just be like the old days when it was open seating and not reserved seating for like 10 minutes until he gave up and got something else for a few hours later. Of course he swore at me under his breath, but I wasn’t about to get into it with him.
I hope OP in the last story had the opportunity to say "none shall pass."
O.P Knight I wanted him to say none shall pass... that would have been epic.
Today, I had an amazing encounter at Target - I was shopping and the price scanner at the end of the aisle wasn't working - I walked up to an employee who was filling orders for people, asked if she could scan the price for me - which she did without incident, and then she said "Oh, are you Red Circle? If you are look it up in your app - you'll get a 20% coup on" - I love it when people are kind and patient.
Asking kindly... often the workers are quite willing to help you get the best deal. It's when someone demands that they don't want to.
Captain, you should have reported some abandoned luggage too. You saw some crazy appearing shrieking woman leave them after all.
Muahaha
Story 2: Do airports have bellboys? I guess those “platinum” airline memberships have more benefits than I thought.
Karen: I am the daughter of the owner. I WILL get you fired
OP: Oh! I didn't know that the primates in the zoo nearby could own property and a business?!
LMAO that guy would NOT like The Hound from Game of Thrones🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Story 4: dad went from being the worst kind of boss we've all had (seriously? I'm not "allowed" to stand up for a friend? F that.) to at least admitting that telling off a rude customer was a good move. We love to see character growth.
I want to imagine that in the last story the guy went to go get the manager and all you hear in the background is heavy thumping and clanking of metal foot steps
MK might have been a Loyal, Paying Customer, but I can absolutely Guarantee he wasn't Good for the store in any way since his attitude has likely scared off more business than he ever gave them...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
From what I know Fluff the answer to your question about the cost of armor will put you in the range of 700-1000 bucks depending on 1) where you buy it 2) the quality of the metal and design 3) how renowned the seller is
