      Many, *many* of these stories involve people with mental illnesses, disabilities, or dementia, but the "mental health" reddit crowd doesn't recognise that people other than themselves can have issues.

    • @whitewolf3051
      @whitewolf3051 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not mental illness per say, but rather unwilling to accept the truth. People like her tend to think stores will magically restock itself if they scream hard enough. That’s why there’s a video of a Karen yelling about false advertising at a Subways when they ran out of meatballs. That wasn’t false advertising, but rather part of supply and demand, something that I’m sure a newborn would understand better than her. Stores, especially restaurants have limited supply for a day or certain amount of time, which is what these fail to understand.

    • @swamprat5660

      And the tool to see the stocking that she threw on the ground : this little guys is valued in the 10k $. We don't realise it, but sometime we work with highly valued object. The little promoted doll could cost her a lot of money.
      And OP manager is right : a client in an unauthorized section is a security (and so insurance too) liability.
      For the mental illness : it's not the clearest story for that. Definitively, she need to be followed for some anger/emotion management. But sadly, if she has done this since she was young because her parent was shutting her up with a reward when she did a tentrum, the habit might be unremoveable.

    Pretty much the same thing happened to us when we were doing a major remodel of our bakery. There was construction going on everywhere in the middle of summer with the heat making it a must to leave the doors open. I was in the front area trying to get some equipment out of the way so that a big delivery of new equipment could come in when some older man come right in and asks "Are you open?" I was a little stunned and asked him "Do we look open?" He started yelling at me that I was being rude and then stormed out.

  • @AnimaMandala

    Story 5: Once some people get started, they just pick up momentum. I recently had to take a call from an angry customer where I work, and she went on this 10 minute rant about how her card was declined, he information was stolen and used elsewhere, and she couldn't stand it that people would get up right behind her in line and place their items so close to hers. The last was so bothersome to her that not only did she keep repeating it, she insisted we should do something about making sure other customers give her space. As if we can control them like that any more than she would like to be. She's also threatening to never shop here again if we don't (and since she has a reputation for being nasty, all I'm thinking is "Is that a promise you intend to keep?) Meanwhile, I have a job to get back to, customers patiently waiting, and they can see I'm not enjoying this so they don't complain. I just keep trying to sound polite, let her know I'm listening, and trying to find the right thing to say that will end this. Eventually I decide to just bite the bullet and say, "Ma'am, I don't want to interrupt, but I have customers waiting and really need to get back to work." To my shock, she actually takes that rather well. As if it only just occurred to her that she's preventing me from doing my work, or she was just finally done venting, but yeah it felt super awkward when I could finally give others my attention.

    • @Ishlacorrin
      @Ishlacorrin 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Allow them to vent is something I was taught in customer service decades ago. You cannot help angry people, so let them get the anger out first and then when they are tired of yelling you can try and help them. Works well, but sucks to have to listen to, especially if it's not even your fault. Management was just a pain in general lol.

    • @KururuKRR
      @KururuKRR 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I agree with Ishlacorrin. Sometimes, people just gotta ramble on before you can properly help 'em out.
      I currently work in customer service. Moved between four different departments so far and when I was Service Desk, there was one customer dude who f-bombed around the whole time on me and an associate I'd asked to help me with loading his stuff. We didn't have everything he'd ordered in right away and ready, but my coworker who'd thrown out some "I understand"s to him, she and I managed to receive a very sincere apology at the end from him. My secret weapon: pushing positivity back IN DROVES. As much as he was angry, that's how much pleasantness and happy energy at helping him that I threw back. He mellowed out soon and said sorry to us. Made my day tbh. ^^

    I used to work at a gas station in a miniscule village (population less than 50 people) that was put into an old restaurant building that sat on the side of the major highway that everyone had to travel on to head north. The old giant restaurant sign had been taken down off the pole, but was left in the parking lot but the side with the letters was facing up to the sky so you would have to climb up to see that it said restaurant on it. We also had a sign that said Gas Station on the building. The owner had left a few old booths from the old restaurant along the wall with windows as truckers sometimes like to come get some coffee and sit for a bit or even get some snacks or premade sandwiches. You could see the old restaurant's kitchen that was now all dusty and filled with boxes of old stuff from the restaurant, so it was very clear that the kitchen was not in operation. There were also no menu boards out or menus or anything else that would say that we were operating a restaurant.
    So one day a family just walks in and sits in a booth and stares at me. I greet them and ask if I can help them. They ask why I haven't brought over the menus yet and I tell them that is because the old restaurant that used to be here closed years ago, so now it was only a gas station. The parents insisted that it should be no trouble for me to just grab some food and make something for them really quick. I again told them that this was not a restaurant, plus the kitchen has not been used in years, does not work, and is filled with boxes. So their only choice is the premade sandwiches we have in the fridge or they can drive 30 minutes to the east to a bigger town that had a few restaurants to pick from. They left very quickly after that as I made no move to get out from behind the counter by the front door.

    What I wonder is why they always say that everyone is being lazy, or that someone has been playing tricks on them? What have people possibly done to make them start off expecting refusal? Have they been told "I'm not an employee" so many times that they just think it's all a vast conspiracy against them? If these Karens are so unable to tell a customer from an employee maybe they all need to be examined, first by eye doctors and then by psychiatrists!

      Some of them are projecting their own "I don't want to have to do anything myself" attitude on to others, while some are the "The younger generations are just all lazy bums and nasty pranksters who don't want to work!" types, and some are so absolutely unable to even _realize_ that they are wrong, even when it's told to them directly, they take that as "You work here, but you're just making excuses not to work" which is often why they respond like the woman in the second story. The third type legitimately think that whatever vague, wrong, and often nonsensical "evidence" they have that someone works there, like that they are wearing a color that is similar to the uniform, in some kind of uniform at all, or just doing "work" of some sort, is _absolute_ proof that the person works there. So, to those Karens, it would be the same as if someone who clearly _was_ an employee, and was just doing work for the business that they are in, said with a straight face "I don't work here, I can't help you". From the Karens' perspectives, everyone is telling an outrageous and obvious lie, so they must be just not wanting to do their job.

    Story 1: I previously worked at the Home Depot. One of the things required in the store because it bridges the gap between a warehouse and a retail store is that if you need to use a forklift in the store there are STRICT rules surrounding their usage. 1: you need a spotter to walk 10 feet in front of you at all times. 2: when moving if at all possible your forks are to be at or below ankle level trailing behind you not pointed in front of you. 3. If working in an aisle the adjoining aisle or aisles must be closed off and guarded from entry. I have seen pallets containing hundreds of pounds by weight of items get pushed off by oddly shaped items removed from the other side of the wall and slam down in the blink of an eye these rules are absolutely warranted. The number of times I've had people remove the barriers and enter aisles actively being monitored for "just one item" is insane, it actually got to the point where I just got rid of my customer service skills and bitched people out for it, in front of management in one instance. I don't fuck around with safety.

    I actually have a funny wholesome "I don't work here" story, of sorts. I was a teenager and, to give a hint, this was at least 12 years before "Jingle All the Way." The elementary school where my younger sibling attended was having a Halloween carnival at the recess area on Saturday. We were all encouraged to have fun and dress up in costumes. I wanted to be scary so I made my own makeshift costume consisting of black clothes, a big black scarf wrapped around my head, a red skeleton mask, and a hatchet I made out of some cardboard and aluminum foil. They had a haunted house set up in the cafeteria stage area and so we proceeded to go in. One of the teachers looked at me in relief as we went in and was like, "So glad you are finally here. Just follow her." She was addressing a "tour guide" school teacher walking us through the haunted house. As we went through, we saw older kids dressed up to be actors to play vampires, werewolves, zombies, etc. We get to the graveyard spot and the tour guide whispers to me, "This is where you to go jump out and scare them as we walk by." I was like, "huh?" She looked at me confused and asked if I was the one who was supposed to be the hatchet man in that spot. I agreed to do it as a happy ending because apparently the other teenager was unable to make it for some unknown reason. I had fun. It was nothing big and famous, no super hero or super villain, just a silly makeshift hatchet man in a school carnival haunted house in the cafeteria, but it was a fun wholesome "I don't work here" moment for me.

    So.. I've got a few 'stories' from all of my time working in retail, but don't usually comment except this time I have one more thing to add to grandpa's thoughts in the last story. The first pharmacy I worked in had a great staff that new every 'patient' including all of the ones with 'issues', & one year there was a problem with several insurances not being excepted & we 'lost' a few patients because of those issues including one poor man who was counting the days until the next year when he could come back to us. He called us one time & started complaining about the service he received in the drive thru & that pretty much everything about the encounter had been very wrong, & when he finally wound down I told him I was very sorry about that but he had called the wrong pharmacy & the next thing I heard from him was an embarrassed 'oops', followed by a thanks for listening & how he didn't think he could wait much longer for the year to be finished so he could come back to us. He even called us during enrollment time to verify which insurances we were taking the following year to ensure he picked the 'right one'.

    That "federal worker" story reminded me of a business trip I was on many(!) years ago. I was a contractor working for NASA, and one of my colleagues & I had to spend a few days at one of the centers out of the DC area. When we checked into our hotel -- late, thanks to flight delays -- the clerk was obviously annoyed at having to get us set up so late in the evening... but seconds after bringing up our reservations on their computer, their whole manner changed and we got a white-glove treatment from him & the rest of the staff (at least as "white glove" as a 3-star motel can be). We were super-curious as to what changed until my colleague took a closer look at the reservation confirmation. The whole trip was covered by our NASA contract, but either there was a miscommunication, a missed keyboard key, or maybe even our reservations group knew what they were doing because what scared the hotel staff into politeness was the fact that we were listed as being employed by the NSA...! :-)

    I work retail. I’m a shift supervisor. One week we had a certain laundry detergent for sale. This black woman asks where is it. I tell her we’re out. She demands I go in back to get some. That she knows we have some. I tell her we ran out 2 days ago, we’re getting some in tomorrow. At the register she demands a manager. So me and another shift supervisor head up. She’s pissed off seeing me. She demands laundry detergent. I tell her to ask both my cashier and the other manager. Then she says
    I’m going to have my Asian friend come over later today and watch, she’s going to get some laundry detergent. You Asians are all the same. You watch out for your own kind but don’t care for others.
    The cashier was also Asian, the other shift supervisor was white. After she left all I could say is that she doesn’t know my last name. My husband is white and I took his last name. So without my middle name no one would suspect it belongs to an Asian woman.

In a sort of tangled mess half developed off campus was this restaurant that was on their WE ARE EATING HERE TODAY!!! After some driving around searching, the place is located. No steam from the vents, should be crisp and white in that cold. No lights. Not a single tire track or footprint in the snow. No trail to the dumpster. Not open. Nope, they were going to eat there TODAY. Got out of car despite protests of running out of lunch time and it will end up being drive through and eat in the car on the way back if they get out. They get out, try all the doors and peer in through smoke tinted dark windows. Finally they get back in the car with shoes full of snow and grumbles about Macaroni Grill. Too late and it’s drive through. Steaming mad all afternoon because they wanted to eat there and groused about it until someone comes up with the tidbit that the place closed right after Labor Day.

Its one thing to embarrass yourself by having a public tantrum over something that couldn't be helped, but how could you be so stupid as to not understand that knocking over shelves and breaking wine bottles was going to get you nothing but a prison sentence.

      He was also wrong about the fuel situation. The cabin crew doesn't make those calls. If he wanted to complain, he'd need to leave the plane and talk to the people making the decision not to provide the plain with fuel in time. Boarding the plane while refueling is very common. It takes quite some time to board everyone. Loading all kinds of cargo and fuel at the same time is normal.

    No one should assume someone works in a place; but NGL if you are going to be nice and help the staff out by sweeping/carrying someone else’s order to them, then yes they will assume you work there and get angry when you refuse to help. Also be careful doing that because if a small business owner sees that a customer is doing their employee’s job for free then the employees can get in trouble either by write-ups or getting their hours cut due to “budget issues” or get fired since their insurance probably doesn’t cover if a customer gets hurt doing the employee’s job for free (like slipping on the mop/broom they used or spilling something on themselves or someone else)

When asked if we could help him with something, he said that he wanted to use our washroom because someone was in the stores public washroom. After telling him that there is no washroom in the department, he pointed to the two large doors to the walk-in storage cooler, saying that he sees people going in and coming out.
