Story 6: "Doctor my a**, this guy needs to get a real job" Oh, she is one of THOSE people. Yeah, there is no reasoning with her, though I seriously wonder how she thought OP worked there
Story 2: Man, I hate when you have incompetent managers. Heck, Karen apparently forgot that OP wasn't a worker anymore. Hope she doesn't become a manager again, who knows what would happen
Funny how a Karen is known for wanting to speak to the manager for petty reasons, but when one IS a manager, they are completely incompetent and abuse the power until getting a knock on the door from good ol' karma.
Someone PLEASE tell me why any managers (or customers) EVER think that they can lay hands on others, regardless of circumstances, and it somehow not be assult?
LOL blinker fluid! When I was in the Navy I was a photographer. I was in a P3 outfit in Brunswick, Maine. We were deployed in Bermuda. Russian tour boat would dock at the port. We had a junior office come in and turn in a roll of film. It didn't come out. And she asked why. My friend told her someone had forgot to add the focusing fluid to the developer. She had a big smile on his face. He explained the joke and showed her how to use the camera and took off the 5 filters she had on the lens and just put the UV filter back on. She came back with some good shots of the Russian tour boat and some suspicious antennas on the upper deck.
What's with customers thinking there's an in-store shopping service where you walk in and hand an employee your list and they shop for you? Any service like that is always something you do online then you park in a spot and they bring it out to you.
That used to be the way all grocers and mercantiles worked! But I don't think that's really been a common thing since the 40s. So clearly these people are all just really out-of-touch vampires.
I'm just old enough (67) to remember a few general stores in a couple of very small villages where you did tell the clerk what you wanted and they got it for you. But that hasn't been the norm for many, many years now. If you want someone to do your shopping nowadays, you make your list on a website with a store that has that option, like Walmart.
I had one place where most of the food is behind the counter... so if you have a list they are fine working from it. But it's only a small shop with only the one isle with a counter between the staff with most of the stuff and the place for customers and some of the cheaper items.
The OP mentioned it was Cape Cod, so it's an incredibly wealthy area. Lots of entitled people who don't think they should lift a finger to do anything for themselves.
@quiestinliteris That's true. Old grocery stores were just like that. The founders of Piggly Wiggly invented most of the help yourself style of shopping. But the "fetch me my list" style lasted into the 90s with places like Service Merchandise. So it hasn't been totally extinct that long. Unfortunately.
Wow, now I've heard of Karens who slap people, make up stories, and pretend to be assaulted themselves when they don't get what they want. But throwing a chair at somebody, that's a whole new level of crazy
I think I'd rank it a little below ripping off someone's prosthetic leg and trying to beat him with it for not giving up his seat to her because he's "obviously" faking being disabled and she's sooooo tired.
Story 5, I love wholesome stories like this. Person who loves their job and is so good at it that the manager of the place tries to steal OP from their current job.
You see that last video?? The guy didn't take any of Karen's crap and she just left dejected. If more people were like this, there'd probably be less Karens. Most of the time managers try to coddle them, give them free stuff, or even fake fire someone who didn't even work there to satiate these people, resulting in them just getting worse and worse. No nonsense taken, that's what I like to see.
I completely agree! Far too many managers try to "please" everyone and when you try to appease a Karen, especially when you expect the assaulted person to go along with it like the fake firing situations, you just cause more problems for the rest of us. The more they get away with the more they will try! Corporations are the worst with this as well! They set the rules, expect the workers to enforce them then cave to Karen's all the time so the employees have no recourse and the Karens just show up again and again with more bull!
Story 3 : While people said that old guy might have alzheimer or something, I actually seeing this behavior IRL. I remember an ex-coworker getting yelled at because a customer didn't look at him when they talked. And that customer knows that ex-coworker was busy doing things that need eye attention, yet he approach her when there's other employees he can talk to at that time.
Third story, the manager was not only protecting OP, but also his actual employees. Again, it does not matter whether or not it's an employee, you do not have the right to assault someone - ever!
That's about as bad as in the carpentry trade of asking for a board stretcher, I even seen on one of the crasher shows the guy running the tool trailer get pissed off and said "man I wish he would quit sending you people over here asking for something that doesn't exist." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Story 1- laying hands on anyone, employee or not, is a hell no. Very lucky OP didn't ask for them to look at security video and ask to press assault charges.
The old man who threw the chair was clearly trying to go for a "I want free food" scam by blaming someone he thought was an employee. The wedging in the corner thing probably set him off, as some people think the corner seats are only for employees. I am forever stonkered by the idiotic claim that "you must be lying that you don't work here, just do your job" screed. It's beyond insulting to automatically assume that they "must be lying". There were periods in my history where that would have earned a clout in the mouth.
Whether he was trying to scam or not, the moment he started throwing things was the moment his plan failed. We aren't going to placate you if your actions are a threat to other customers and staff!
Story 6: Fluff, you prawn; OP obviously couldn't remember what Karen was asking directions for, so he makes up a name for the sake of it, like, "blinker fluid", or "Elbow Grease", or a "Long Weight".
Story 1: Forget being a customer. That FM was trying to manhandle an employee and missed. That FM is a lawsuit/shiny pair of bracelets waiting to happen.
Story 1 - OP should have called police in, the fact that manager GRABBED OP and dragged them behind the counter is assault. Dont let them get away with that because who knows what they also do with their actual workers.
My guess about the chair-throwing old guy: he's a jailbird with nowhere to live. He was trying to get himself arrested so he can spend the winter in a nice cozy cell. Success!
the fifth story made me smile.I work at a museum myself (kids museum actually) so hearing that OP had two museums after him just had me smile. gotta love the wholesome stories that pop up here and there.
Yeah, but he might not want to work for her, considering she doesn't like taking "No" for an answer and that the CEO warned him to stay away from that museum because she might "try something". She might be a nightmare to work for.
@@weirdredpandaI doubt they were being literal about the "doesn't take no for an answer". When people use that turn of phrase it typically just means they can be persistent. And by "try something" I doubt he meant something illegal, probably just something like start a program where the NHM starts a program to start hiring teens. Also, she might very well be amazing to work for, but that wouldn't matter, as sh I just the hiring manager for the NHM. Not the manager OP would be working under as a tour guide. You should stop jumping to weird conclusions based on nothing. As the entire post is framed as a bit of a humble brag that OP is so good at there job that another museum's hiring manager was trying to scout him away from his current museum.
Story #5, I hope he got into the sciences and got a job as a staff member at some museum or science center somewhere, because it's clear he's got a natural talent for that work, PLUS natural enthusiasm! Those two things can really spark excitement in others, adults as well as children. ♥
My friends and I convinced the secretary at our shop that she needed 4 different bulbs for the turn signals of her car. We told her that the lights only displayed in certain directions, like forward and to the left, and if she mixed them up the light would shine in the wrong directions. She came back telling us we were jerks after the auto store told her the truth. She was right, but everyone has to have a hobby.
nature museum kid sounds like a really interesting character, 16 with a moustache making dinosaur jokes while explaining the science. i wonder what he;s doing now.
left handed screwdriver, sky hooks, new bubble for the spirit level and patrol/gas for the electric forklift - all as well as a few others where common pranks at my dad's old work, wish they knew of the blinker fluid one
Fluffy, your work is the best curated of it’s kind. It is always thoughtful, provoking and most of all, reveals your intelligent and kind point of view. This episode is particularly satisfying. Thank you for being there….I’m generally silent like so many others here. Just want you to know how very much your work is appreciated.
That second story reminds me of how I quit a fast food job when I got a full time well paying one, and for about a year, I would get people calling for me to fill in for them. I finally said yes and never got called again.
Story 4: I'd have taken the list, pointed to the opposite door I planned on exiting (assuming there's more than one entrance) and told her to wait there. Do my shopping, then throw the list in the trash on my way out so she couldn't find it anymore. Yeah, I'd feel more sorry for the employees, but making her wait for lord knows how long just wasting her time is too tempting to pass up. Gotta pay that stupid tax.
remember folks...when dealing with a Karen, and there's video proof, and the cops are called, always request to the officer that the Karen fill out a report of the incident before the video is shown. Then show the video and implore that the cop at least file false report charges. this helps reduce the Karen population in the wild.
First story: if I were op, I would actually press charges against the manager for grabbing me. It is never okay for employers to physically grab their staff. The floor manager needs to be fired. The old guy story: I am glad op sued the guy who threw a chair her, just because someone is elderly doesn’t give them the right to assault someone. I hope he has a nice time in jail and also the guy needs anger management classes.
As far as the old guy going crazy, it is quite possible that he has dementia. Many people who have dementia can become irrationally angry and will not calm down.
"As an employee, you're THAT valuable" did that value include a subsequent raise in pay? Think if I was the nature museum I'd be looking at adjusting the hiring policies and offering to pay whatever contract penalties OP might incur. Start a bidding war
Last story: Yes maam the Blinker Fluid should be between the Horn Fluid and the Henway Karen : What's a henway ? OP/Target employee: 4 tp 5 pounds depending on size
Story 4: Karen: "Go fetch my stuff" Me, a DND/FR/BG player at work : "How much you gonna pay me, or what trinket will you give me?" Karen "Excuse me?!?!?" Me : "No deal then, have a nice day"
How funny it would be if someone answer the "do your job" sentence like: I'm actually work at the graveyard. Do you want me to bury you alive or something?
Now a days if you go online put in an order (with the Supermarket) it's the only way to get the supermarket employees to gather your food & deliver it to your car in special spots by the door
Chairdude was (predictably) at another location and/or chain when he got so pissed off, likely caught out trying to do something skeezy to the cashier there. I tell you, Fluff...
I was working as an exit greeter in the garden center at Wally-World in 1998. A lady pulled up to the gate and demanded I go get the things on her grocery list. I told her I couldn't leave my post and she threw a fit, demanding I get her the manager. I called the store manager, not the garden center manager, and he got a cart boy to do her shopping for her. She paid with a credit card and went on her way, never having left her car, or the spot she was in. I asked why he did that and he said, "She's rich." I was very angry!! 😲😡😡😡
@@ryukaze7392 There is at least a full layer of separation from the employee, and they are paid to do it. So thankfully (at least at Walmart) you can tell the customer that they can shop online and do pickup. Though knowing people, that won't stop the issue of demanding they take your list.
Well, *not* sure *if* it was true, but *if* any of the old movies about the 1800s - the 19th century to early 1900s - early 20th century is true, employees did use to do shopping for customers, back when stores weren’t big, didn’t have many employees or corporate. So, it seems that any entitled people are stuck in the past.
@@whitewolf3051 It was true. Most of the stores had everything behind the counter, the customers couldn't get to things so the clerks got everything to the counter for purchase. A very different way of life than what we have now. I'm 67, but can remember a few "general stores" that still existed when I was a kid and that's how they were set up.
I really reported that boss that is the owner or whatever of the boot store to the BBB or the labor board for unethical practices. Op didn't mention anything your their last paycheck so Yeah she could definitely sue for that if depending on The state law.
Did that Karen in that last story seriously just insinuate that being a doctor isn't a real job?! She better hope she doesn't get seriously sick or injured, because I'd be questioning my duty of care for her if I were OP and she showed up to me for help, or at least snidely remind her of that comment afterwards.
In story four I have visions of the old A&P in Hyannis on Cape Cod. Don’t ask me why but I do. Something tells me the Karen in the story was one of the weekly rentals on vacation.
Story 4: Retail workers I have to ask does this happen a lot because there is no way a customers expects workers to drop everything get everything off a list of things you likely don't have?
If you’re not an employee, you can just say “not my job not my problem” and walk away. If you _are_ an employee, what do you say to that kind of entitlement?
They do. A gentleman in the bakery department once shoved a list down my front and walked off with an unwrapped loaf of bread. I tracked down his wife and handed back the list and a bag for the bread.
@@scottyshadowens9626 I think he had some kind of dementia. His wife looked so frazzled; she probably didn’t have a choice about bringing him, but he really shouldn’t have been left to his own devices.
Blinker Fluid?!?!? Hmmm, I need her to go shopping for me. Here's the list: 50 feet of chow line, 100 feet of water line, a bucket of steam, sound powered phone batterie's, , get me eyes on target with a CGU-11 (Sea gull), and she needs to notify me when she sees the mail buoy coming in. Ex Navy, just in case you needed a clue. Cue Evil Laugh and the Professor Fate Theme. 😃😄😁😆😅🤣
The last time I heard someone get told to look for headlight fluid, they went to an enemy base, got their flag and received some -pink- lightish red armor.
Story #1: I actually did ring myself out once. This was about 25+ years ago, and I was at my local package store buying lottery tickets. I was a regular customer and I used to talk to the owner about lottery, since at that time, I was very familiar with the lottery machine, having used one at my current job at that time. One late afternoon, the owner was busy with customers that she could actually make money on (at the time, CT Lottery paid a commission of six cents on every ticket purchase, no matter the total cost), so she said, since I was familiar with the lottery machine, I should just punch out my tickets and pay for them, which I did. Took me all of abut two-three minutes to do.
There is a guy here on TH-cam who's a truck driver. He uses that phrase ALL the time when people don't signal. "Low on blinker fluid are we? You need to get some blinker fluid?" He's funny. Go Joey Whispers. I lkve you. You make my day, a lot. Having severe depression, your stories and delivery make me smile if not laugh. Thank you.
I wanna say people need to get their grandparents before people lay them out, but then it occurred to me I bet some of these people are so terrible because they're lonely as hell and have noone
Story 3: one of the few right answers to the karen. Mgr bear hugs the guy out of the store and said "that's not how this works." Kudos to the manager 👏
Ok what makes people think they can walk into a grocery store and have someone shop FOR them, even employees.. I know some high end stores probably offer it but most normals do not, that never happened to me but if it did I would definitely take the list and say ok…..and LEAVE, let her stand there and wait😂😂😂😂
If that Karen shoved a grocery list in my pocket, I'd probably just taken it out and dropped it....not sure I would have the temerity to tear it up! I understand it's almost a reflex to take something someone shoves at you, but I've learned not to hold my hand out if someone I don't know does that to me...I just let it fall to the floor.
The guy who throws chairs: is he Scott from South Park? 😂 Also, if anyone suddenly puts their shopping list in your hands, get the items, go with the Karen to the checkout, bag everything, wait til it's all paid for, then say, "Thanks for your generosity!" And see how far you can get before you're stopped, and have to explain that you don't work there, and thought they were being nice.
story 6: when the target employee said Be Gone to Karen was one of my fav parts of the video. 2nd fav was the cape cod story where the manger said "you can go buy tape in aisle blank"
First story, I would have yelled "See how Best Buy treats it's customers? We'll treat you a lot better at Staples!" Right in front of that guy
Story 6: "Doctor my a**, this guy needs to get a real job"
Oh, she is one of THOSE people. Yeah, there is no reasoning with her, though I seriously wonder how she thought OP worked there
He was wearing a blue polo and khakis so apparently that's where her mind went lol
Get a real job?? What? Op is a doctor, and she thinks it's not a real job.. 😂😂😂 delulu😂😂
Well, she also thinks blinker fluid is a real thing, so.
@@recycledapathy7411 😂😂😂😂 Einstein she is...😂😂
Story 2: Man, I hate when you have incompetent managers. Heck, Karen apparently forgot that OP wasn't a worker anymore. Hope she doesn't become a manager again, who knows what would happen
We do know what would and has happened as told by OP. I rather doubt Karen would learn from that mistake, other than not calling OP again. :)
Funny how a Karen is known for wanting to speak to the manager for petty reasons, but when one IS a manager, they are completely incompetent and abuse the power until getting a knock on the door from good ol' karma.
Someone PLEASE tell me why any managers (or customers) EVER think that they can lay hands on others, regardless of circumstances, and it somehow not be assult?
If we knew the answer to that the psych wards in the jails would be full.
They know they just are use to being able to bully people into not pressing charges.
They think they can because they have before and have gotten away with it. That is how bullies think.
LOL blinker fluid! When I was in the Navy I was a photographer. I was in a P3 outfit in Brunswick, Maine. We were deployed in Bermuda. Russian tour boat would dock at the port.

@@nyperold7530 there's all kinds of crazy
First story: That floor manager would've been fired if he had worked for me for doing something as stupid as that.
OP should have called police. If that manager thinks he can put his hands on an employee it wasn't the first time.
If he's tried that with me he would have ben knocked on his ass
OP needs to grow a spine.
Im trying to figure out why the police werent called for assault.
Understandble that or the original poster should had used self defense if they knew how ik i would

remember folks...when dealing with a Karen, and there's video proof, and the cops are called, always request to the officer that the Karen fill out a report of the incident before the video is shown. Then show the video and implore that the cop at least file false report charges. this helps reduce the Karen population in the wild.
SO PROUD OF OP'S BOSS THAT WAS SO APPRECIATIVE
THAT OP WAS SUCH A GREAT
EMPLOYEE
First story: if I were op, I would actually press charges against the manager for grabbing me. It is never okay for employers to physically grab their staff. The floor manager needs to be fired.
The old guy story: I am glad op sued the guy who threw a chair her, just because someone is elderly doesn’t give them the right to assault someone. I hope he has a nice time in jail and also the guy needs anger management classes.
As far as the old guy going crazy, it is quite possible that he has dementia. Many people who have dementia can become irrationally angry and will not calm down.
"As an employee, you're THAT valuable"
did that value include a subsequent raise in pay? Think if I was the nature museum I'd be looking at adjusting the hiring policies and offering to pay whatever contract penalties OP might incur. Start a bidding war
Last story: Yes maam the Blinker Fluid should be between the Horn Fluid and the Henway
Karen : What's a henway ?
OP/Target employee: 4 tp 5 pounds depending on size
😂 beautiful
Is that like a piecost?
Managers at Best Buy shouldn't have an issue knowing who works there since each store seems to only have three employees.
Thank you. Life is tough but these heroes are tougher!
Throwing a chair at you when you turned your back?
That's attempted murder! What if that kills her?
Story 5 is one of the few happy stories from this subreddit
Story 4:
Karen: "Go fetch my stuff"
Me, a DND/FR/BG player at work : "How much you gonna pay me, or what trinket will you give me?"
Karen "Excuse me?!?!?"
Me : "No deal then, have a nice day"
How funny it would be if someone answer the "do your job" sentence like: I'm actually work at the graveyard. Do you want me to bury you alive or something?
"It will be my pleasure!"
Now a days if you go online put in an order (with the Supermarket) it's the only way to get the supermarket employees to gather your food & deliver it to your car in special spots by the door
Chairdude was (predictably) at another location and/or chain when he got so pissed off, likely caught out trying to do something skeezy to the cashier there. I tell you, Fluff...
11:44 the old guy just wanted to go home, which was the jail ! maybe winter was coming and jail is warm ?
Walmart does offer grocery pickup now. So technically you can order an employee to get your groceries now.
I was working as an exit greeter in the garden center at Wally-World in 1998. A lady pulled up to the gate and demanded I go get the things on her grocery list. I told her I couldn't leave my post and she threw a fit, demanding I get her the manager. I called the store manager, not the garden center manager, and he got a cart boy to do her shopping for her. She paid with a credit card and went on her way, never having left her car, or the spot she was in. I asked why he did that and he said, "She's rich." I was very angry!! 😲😡😡😡
True, but its not like how Karen did it. Afaik, you can't thrust a grocery list at an employee and expect them to "go fetch" as Darkfluff put it.
@@ryukaze7392 There is at least a full layer of separation from the employee, and they are paid to do it. So thankfully (at least at Walmart) you can tell the customer that they can shop online and do pickup. Though knowing people, that won't stop the issue of demanding they take your list.
Well, *not* sure *if* it was true, but *if* any of the old movies about the 1800s - the 19th century to early 1900s - early 20th century is true, employees did use to do shopping for customers, back when stores weren’t big, didn’t have many employees or corporate. So, it seems that any entitled people are stuck in the past.
@@whitewolf3051 It was true. Most of the stores had everything behind the counter, the customers couldn't get to things so the clerks got everything to the counter for purchase. A very different way of life than what we have now. I'm 67, but can remember a few "general stores" that still existed when I was a kid and that's how they were set up.
That last story reminded me that I need to get my muffler bearings replaced. Thanks!!
Don't forget the paisley spray paint.
@@russward2612 Thanks! I would have forgotten that again for sure!
@@russward2612 Four-colour Camouflage paint works, too.
It's probably close to the polka-dot paint. 😂
@@weirdredpanda I think it's between polka-dot and plaid, but don't quote me on it. 😉
I really reported that boss that is the owner or whatever of the boot store to the BBB or the labor board for unethical practices. Op didn't mention anything your their last paycheck so Yeah she could definitely sue for that if depending on The state law.
Did that Karen in that last story seriously just insinuate that being a doctor isn't a real job?! She better hope she doesn't get seriously sick or injured, because I'd be questioning my duty of care for her if I were OP and she showed up to me for help, or at least snidely remind her of that comment afterwards.
In story four I have visions of the old A&P in Hyannis on Cape Cod. Don’t ask me why but I do. Something tells me the Karen in the story was one of the weekly rentals on vacation.
Story 3: crazy guy has quite the rap sheet, I agree with OP's assessment of him
Story 4: Retail workers I have to ask does this happen a lot because there is no way a customers expects workers to drop everything get everything off a list of things you likely don't have?
Yes.
If you’re not an employee, you can just say “not my job not my problem” and walk away. If you _are_ an employee, what do you say to that kind of entitlement?
They do. A gentleman in the bakery department once shoved a list down my front and walked off with an unwrapped loaf of bread. I tracked down his wife and handed back the list and a bag for the bread.
@@amandagreen4332That man was no gentleman and you should of had him arrested for sexual assault
@@scottyshadowens9626 I think he had some kind of dementia. His wife looked so frazzled; she probably didn’t have a choice about bringing him, but he really shouldn’t have been left to his own devices.
i love these kind of stories.
Story 3: A friggin chair? Seriously? The guy must watched too many Waffle House videos lol
Cant even help someone without repercussions
Blinker Fluid?!?!? Hmmm, I need her to go shopping for me. Here's the list: 50 feet of chow line, 100 feet of water line, a bucket of steam, sound powered phone batterie's, , get me eyes on target with a CGU-11 (Sea gull), and she needs to notify me when she sees the mail buoy coming in. Ex Navy, just in case you needed a clue. Cue Evil Laugh and the Professor Fate Theme. 😃😄😁😆😅🤣
Regarding the last story, it could have been worse! It could have been that they asked Karen to look for Headlight fluid!
The last time I heard someone get told to look for headlight fluid, they went to an enemy base, got their flag and received some -pink- lightish red armor.
I didn't even realize the time! Also, Fluff time, fluff time !🎶
First story, I thought the OP was going to get reprimanded for recommending the competition!
Story #1: I actually did ring myself out once. This was about 25+ years ago, and I was at my local package store buying lottery tickets. I was a regular customer and I used to talk to the owner about lottery, since at that time, I was very familiar with the lottery machine, having used one at my current job at that time. One late afternoon, the owner was busy with customers that she could actually make money on (at the time, CT Lottery paid a commission of six cents on every ticket purchase, no matter the total cost), so she said, since I was familiar with the lottery machine, I should just punch out my tickets and pay for them, which I did. Took me all of abut two-three minutes to do.
These days... companies would loose their insurance doing that... as there is much less trust in the world theses days...
I usually ring myself out. I'm not much of a people person.
There is a guy here on TH-cam who's a truck driver.
He uses that phrase ALL the time when people don't signal.
"Low on blinker fluid are we? You need to get some blinker fluid?"
He's funny. Go Joey Whispers.
I lkve you. You make my day, a lot. Having severe depression, your stories and delivery make me smile if not laugh. Thank you.
I wanna say people need to get their grandparents before people lay them out, but then it occurred to me I bet some of these people are so terrible because they're lonely as hell and have noone
Story 3: one of the few right answers to the karen. Mgr bear hugs the guy out of the store and said "that's not how this works." Kudos to the manager 👏
Ok what makes people think they can walk into a grocery store and have someone shop FOR them, even employees.. I know some high end stores probably offer it but most normals do not, that never happened to me but if it did I would definitely take the list and say ok…..and LEAVE, let her stand there and wait😂😂😂😂
Blinker fluid, oh you cheeky OP 🤣😂🤣. It’s on the shelf next to the long waits. Beside the elbow grease.
Yeah... the guy doesn't have medical issues, but anger issue.
Oh, the last one made me laugh. "BE GONE!" i love it. "Get thee behind me Satan!" would have fit as well.
I loved the “Begone!” It should be used more often
Noooo, that's when you tell Karyn that they only sell blinker fluid across town... lol
When you said blinker fluids, I was drinking water and spat it all out, laughing hysterically
On the story about the western store, the owners resume, would say, yes I use to own a store, but I ran it into the ground.
If that Karen shoved a grocery list in my pocket, I'd probably just taken it out and dropped it....not sure I would have the temerity to tear it up! I understand it's almost a reflex to take something someone shoves at you, but I've learned not to hold my hand out if someone I don't know does that to me...I just let it fall to the floor.
I would have said "right away, mam," and gone about my day, leaving her to wait for a list that will never be fulfilled.
I'd fold it into a plane and fly it.
Great stories today! Thank you!
The guy who throws chairs: is he Scott from South Park? 😂
Also, if anyone suddenly puts their shopping list in your hands, get the items, go with the Karen to the checkout, bag everything, wait til it's all paid for, then say, "Thanks for your generosity!" And see how far you can get before you're stopped, and have to explain that you don't work there, and thought they were being nice.
Story 5 had me cracking up! I wish I could be that lucky that was hilarious!
Blinker fluid 😅... Friend asked me to get "the black stuff" (oil) that goes in the front (engine) 🙄🤣
"It wouldnt hurt my feelings if you looked for another job" - and it took you long enough to get the hint that you had to look BACK on it?
Is no one going to talk about "blinker fluid"?? I love that joke, that's hilarious 😂🤣
Story one: sounds like a good time for 100% discounts for OPs line. All that on floor manager's account should teach him a damn good lesson
story 6: when the target employee said Be Gone to Karen was one of my fav parts of the video. 2nd fav was the cape cod story where the manger said "you can go buy tape in aisle blank"
