He has been blessed with a power most men would dream of.. Rowan may be an asshole, but when it comes to his employees, he will not let them be eaten by a Karen.
I’ve had my fair share of that same experience… until one day without warning my new boss was a Karen … (Katherine) and factor in the Fiery Red Head was leagues beyond the the blonde… my “white shirt training” as we’ll call it, allotted me protection from our inner office bouts. But know that my advice training of studying psychology paired my oops manual and trusty pocket size employee handbook. Tapping deep into my inner Vulcan mind of Mr. Spok ability to cite from memory of strict corporate company policies and guidelines made us evenly matched. Through the years an unspoken truce was formed and we’d both would settled with age old quote “If you can’t beat ‘em then join ‘em” and later that alliance would come in handy when we joined forces to fight our newest enemies… The NEW Corporate owners from out of state that wanted to make severe drastic changes that would fit with all of our other locations except our facility it was unique. Being that all of our sister locations were all free standing buildings, our location was anchored within a international Mall that was bonded with a God like level of corporate governance. So we would then joined forces to protect our store from falling into chaos. To bad we didn’t have TH-cam back in those days… we missed our calling because that place had so much unique content.

This is the best Karen actor ever. The way she opens the mouth without speaking even before she has taken the final steps towards the counter, the way she empasize words, her brilliant voice, the resting expression of content disdain. I love her.
"Consumer rights act" "Circumstantial" "Breaching company protocol" "Irrelevant" "Customer is always right!" "Erroneous" This wasn't even Rowan's final form. Lol. Gotta admit, this made me a Rowan fan.
Man, Rowan was just getting started lmao he kept it tame cause if not the ground below would have started to shake . . And he knows he doesn't want her to get hurt in his store 🤣🤣🤣
Karen: "All promotional material on display is still valid!" Me: Isn't that why they put the end date on the promotional material? Since the end date is a part of the promotional material it is still valid too.
I don't think that matters. When I worked in retail, it didn't matter what the date was. If it was still up, it was still valid. Besides, that flyer didn't say a year. It could have meant 32541 for all we know.
@@Shock_Treatment must be a Murica thing? Because any promotional material with a date is valid until that date has expired. As a consumer you need to read the material and understand the terms and conditions that apply. ONLY if you can dispute the rules and conditions will you have a case ;)
The end of offer date has to be really precise. If it's just "ends 8th of july" it means that the offer restarts at the 9th of july because the year isn't specified. And it's not american thing. It's common in western law.

@@NaughtyShepherd Yeah I did, but it's extra funny because he's saying that Karen (singular) will be back in greater numbers, which is hilarious, while Obi Wan's line "they will be back, and in greater numbers" is already plural.

In Holland we have a saying that goes along those lines with: 'De klant is koning' (The customer is king). Many retailers have now ammended that saying by adding: 'Wanneer die zich koninklijk gedraagd.' (When they behave royally < it is assumed that royally is positive>).
Can’t believe it has already been 2 years since Karen vs manager. Literally felt like it was just yesterday when I rewatched the episodes. Especially the pubg series. Restaurant logic has been by far my favourite series. Everyone in VLDL are such amazing people with the enjoyable videos. Love this channel!!!
@EL Totxi The irony is that the stereotypical karens are the ones that need to have the authorities called on em in pretty much every situation for multiple reasons. I mean not only are they harassing the store employees, but they're violating all sorts of public disturbance laws, & even vioating intimidation laws by trying to threaten a store into doing what they want.
Here in the US they threaten to call the better business bureau. My manager actually dared a customer to and laughed after they left because they knew that bureau wasn't going to do jack shit about a store that small just because we refused a refund.
As a low-level manager in customer service myself... I loved that our man here immediately did the noble thing and sent the staff out of harms way. In my movie theater, the Karens only get to yell at me and not any innocent cashier.
Mines left me out to dry after telling me how to engage customers who want to violate company's policy. BTW, the managers just stood there while the customer berated me for doing my job. Needless to say, I walked off the job. Anybody have spare change to Venmo a fellow TH-cam viewer?
Lol you guys seriously need to have Karen be reborn in the new store 😂 since now the old store has sold, the seal has been broken on her spirit and now she is free to roam again and she finds you at the new techland store
@@slayer1453 According to minutephysics an immovable object and an irresistible force are the same thing (it just depends on which frame of reference you are in).
Actually it may just be a pun... I mean, what Bob bob said sounds like a joke, and it just so happens that OP mispelled "Manager" into "Manger" which is french for "to eat". If I'm right, it's certainly not a joke of great taste, but it's not worth bashing the guy's head in over, he didnt mean any harm. And that actress is awesome. /Captain Not-so-obvious, out.
@jager64xxx xxxpanzer BS. I worked in retail for over 20 years. She was right. They should have just given her the price adjustment. WITH the receipt of course and credited back to his credit card. :) Not sure what is going on with the writers these days, but bored started off showing how corporate retail is often in the wrong. Now... lately... somehow Rowan and corporate policy is always in the right. Not nearly as funny. In fact other than Adam and Alan's parts in this it was pretty wholly un-funny.
Big thanks to Alison Quigan for playing our Karen. That's what you get when you hire a veteran actress folks ;)

A Proto-meme. "The customer is always right," is only part of the phrase, and it's almost always mis-quoted... to the point of lost meaning. I agree with you.
But... I keep reading it as "The Costumer is always right!"
Epic NPC-Man?
Erroneous
I think the Karen is in the right.
“She’ll be back. And in greater numbers.”
“I know. But we’ll be ready for her.”
*These guys are legend.*
... They walk single file.. to hide their numbers...
That was so epic
I knew it starwars throw back
Agreed that was the best part. These guys get funnier and funnier every day lol
Which line this come from?
"she'll be back... and in greater numbers"
"I know"
"But we'll be ready for her"
why does it sounds so epic 😂
Reminded me of injustice 2 video game ending. Batman said the same thing to supergirl 😂
The first line is Obi Wan Kenobi so that accounts for some of the epic-ness
We need a new series about Karen and white T-shirt!
Foreshadowing something?
I feel like this is a quote from GoT? Not entirely sure tho, if someone can confirm or correct me it would be nice.
The way Adam took off was bloody hilarious 😂😂
Well done, boys!! 👏🏽👏🏽
Most epic fights:
Thanos vs Ironman
Kong vs Godzilla
Karen vs manager
Kong is nothing
@Henlo_M800 yeah Kong has the power of monke
I’d watch Karen vs Thanos.
@@DeadDancers Karen: Bring me manager.
@@kom8285 not just monke. Big monke
She isn’t “a” Karen, she is the queen of Karens.
She's the manager of Karens
The the karen of all karens
@@DrSwazz no she a lvl 2 karen and the guy is a lvl 10 manager
I honestly thought one of you was going to say the kraken
she's the women who F up my former job.. i hate them and fear them at the same time and my boss would fire me if i cannot handle the situation.
Holy crap, the actress playing Karen is effing PHENOMENAL!
She might be a real karen
Karen
Karener
Karenest!
She reminds me of Ursula from Little mermaid 😅😂
@JackORobber What's her name?
She was great!
I LOVE the Custome Design for Karen
Blue really suits her :D
The best "karen" actress i've ever seen, her eyes her tone her haircut everything is great, i'm gonna picture the "karen" with her portrait for now on
Pretty sure that's a wig but yea she's amazing
She is a famous New Zealand actress

@@Dimorac Actually, that is Alison Quigan
@@Dimorac That is clearly not her dude
@@Dimorac Yeah, could tell she was really good at acting the part.
Karen: Enters store.
Alan and Adam: Why do we hear boss music?
Rowan walk in
Karen: why do i feel fear?
Rowan: Finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary.
This is the best comment.
That is all
"She'll be back... In greater numbers!" - This one destroyed me!
You didn’t catch the Sand People reference!!
@@NaughtyShepherd Yeah I did, but it's extra funny because he's saying that Karen (singular) will be back in greater numbers, which is hilarious, while Obi Wan's line "they will be back, and in greater numbers" is already plural.
I love how she had a valid argument. If she was nice about it she might’ve gotten that 20% back.
When Karen walks into the store.
Manager: I feel a disturbance in the force. One I have not sensed for a long time.
But was this master or apprentice
@@BRG1807 This particular Karen is an apprentice. We do not speak of her master
@@SVD978 if she was this powerful there is no telling how powerful the karen casey will be
@@BRG1807
They are one far beyond the comprehension of a normal simple human being... Only managers who have mastered the arts of repelling complaints can stand a chance...

"Customer is always right"
"Erroneous"
As for the former retail worker that line was a lot satisfying
That is why this is my favorite Playtech skit.
In Holland we have a saying that goes along those lines with: 'De klant is koning' (The customer is king). Many retailers have now ammended that saying by adding: 'Wanneer die zich koninklijk gedraagd.' (When they behave royally < it is assumed that royally is positive>).
@@martijncc we say the same in Belgium, but when a customer actually used that line, my manager replied with: "and I am the emperor" 😄
Customer always THINKS they are right
What does erroneous mean
Who is that actress? Its like she had been preparing for this role her entire life. So good
Yeah she was so fun and she did enjoy her role.
@@discworldfan I don't think it's her role I think she is doing it IRL as well:) practice
Rowens Mother? 😂
alison quigan!
@bennyjacob999 Agreed, and I can hardly believe I'm saying this, but I want to see more with Karen now. What have you done VLDL??!
Can’t believe it has already been 2 years since Karen vs manager. Literally felt like it was just yesterday when I rewatched the episodes. Especially the pubg series. Restaurant logic has been by far my favourite series. Everyone in VLDL are such amazing people with the enjoyable videos. Love this channel!!!
Im surprised she didn’t pull the old reliable “call the authorities”
Maybe in a sequel if they plan to make one.
@EL Totxi The irony is that the stereotypical karens are the ones that need to have the authorities called on em in pretty much every situation for multiple reasons. I mean not only are they harassing the store employees, but they're violating all sorts of public disturbance laws, & even vioating intimidation laws by trying to threaten a store into doing what they want.
Cops
Here in the US they threaten to call the better business bureau. My manager actually dared a customer to and laughed after they left because they knew that bureau wasn't going to do jack shit about a store that small just because we refused a refund.
In New Zealand the police would never show up for a Karen in a million years.
As a low-level manager in customer service myself... I loved that our man here immediately did the noble thing and sent the staff out of harms way. In my movie theater, the Karens only get to yell at me and not any innocent cashier.
You are an honorable manager
You my friend, are not only a good manager, but a true man. That's a noble soul you got there.
You have my deepest gratitude and respect, sir or maam🖖
That's super awesome to hear. Thank you.
Mines left me out to dry after telling me how to engage customers who want to violate company's policy. BTW, the managers just stood there while the customer berated me for doing my job. Needless to say, I walked off the job. Anybody have spare change to Venmo a fellow TH-cam viewer?
"i'll write review on facebook and Google!"
Don't worry Rowan! All the customers from free laptop and free sample episodes will be on your side!
Lol you guys seriously need to have Karen be reborn in the new store 😂 since now the old store has sold, the seal has been broken on her spirit and now she is free to roam again and she finds you at the new techland store
She's back
Bro have I got news for you...
And she’s been wearing a blue shirt this whole time…
VLDL planned this all along.
@8bitutopia182 ..... wait I didn't even notice that! Omg how far into the future do they have the lore for this written out??
“This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object”
I was just about to post this quote!
Those objects cannot exist in the same universe
In the video we were able to see the immovable object
@@slayer1453 According to minutephysics an immovable object and an irresistible force are the same thing (it just depends on which frame of reference you are in).
Arpan Biswas they would just phase through each other
why hate karen isee she is strong personality woman who doesn't give up her rights and yeah consumer always right this video is nonsense
anddddddd that is why Rowan is the manager.
The cost is heavy, but he bears it well.
Honestly it's her son's fault for not coming on "Free Headphone Samples" day.
in a twist i bet its gonna be Bens mom
@@fumi2360 That honestly would explain SO much.
Not Ben's. There is still someone else waiting for his ordered computer.
Te mamaste
Coulda tried all three!
We need a Karen vs Manger part two
She is a bit heavy, but you don't know if she has an eating-disorder.
@@BobBob-oe9uf stfu
Actually it may just be a pun... I mean, what Bob bob said sounds like a joke, and it just so happens that OP mispelled "Manager" into "Manger" which is french for "to eat". If I'm right, it's certainly not a joke of great taste, but it's not worth bashing the guy's head in over, he didnt mean any harm. And that actress is awesome. /Captain Not-so-obvious, out.
@@penhad7275 lit dab lit
@@BobBob-oe9uf I finally know what u mean, wow didn’t know French and it was a mistake
Where is auto correct when u need it
10 out of 10! Setup, acting, dialog, music, cut, everything. I say this is the best piece you've created ;)
100% Agree!!!
Definitely
This will be a classic for people looking for karens
I was about to comment the same thing LoL
This Is
Totaly perfect
"I am a registered GOOGLE user"
I didn't think he would survive that
Shes probably a yelp reviewer aswell
I sure didnt lol
Rowan actually being a good manager
10/10 that was absolutely fantastic
The video or the headphones lol???
Manager good micro beat the Karenlisk harass
Litteraly better er than the movies I watched on Netflix over the weekend 😂😂
Looks like those Karenlisks couldn't match Play tech's Planetary Fortress repair rate.
Oh my god... is this a sign for me to watch lowko again? Welp, I'm taking it as one, lowko time
I love when Rowan actually does his job
Nobody harasses Rowan's employees. Only Rowan does that!
Martin D and Ben
Rowan’s time has come. The moment his whole managerial career has been building to. He’s our hero. He fights for all of us. 🤣🤣🤣
Literally the only time anyone has cheered for Rowan.
he's not the hero we want but the hero we need ;)
@jager64xxx xxxpanzer BS. I worked in retail for over 20 years. She was right. They should have just given her the price adjustment. WITH the receipt of course and credited back to his credit card. :)
Not sure what is going on with the writers these days, but bored started off showing how corporate retail is often in the wrong. Now... lately... somehow Rowan and corporate policy is always in the right. Not nearly as funny. In fact other than Adam and Alan's parts in this it was pretty wholly un-funny.
2:39 it would of been so good if he said in matters of taste. The full quote is the customer is always right in matters of taste.
Yeah ❤🎉😊
"Have you read the consumer rights act?"
Her son isn't...B-E-N, by any chance, is it?
Nice one mate...😂😂😂😂
Hahaha that would be hilarious
Ah man we need a sequel with Ben in it 🤣
I doubt it. Ben and Rowan are friends who stage stuff to mess with Adam, I feel. 😂
That would be OUTRAGEOUS!
you know Karen's a high level boss when she makes you cheer for rowan
She's back. And in greater numbers. The sequel is coming out tonight!!!!!!
I know, but they’ll be ready for her.

That is absolutely the politest and gentlist karen I ever seen
Rowan on the crew’s side is a beautiful and scary thing.
he's not on the crew's side.
He did actually say that she shouldn't be harassing his employees.
Rowan presents a united front when Karen is about.
If you find yourself on the same side as Rowan, you have to wonder what it is about the issue you don't get and how is he going to screw you.
