Exactly. Restaurant workers can and will spit in your food if you piss them off. While I've never worked in fast food, I do know that if I were in OP's position, I'd have simply told Karen that we were closed and to go home. If she insisted on sitting in the drive-thru, I'd have called the cops on her. I wouldn't even give her the trash food at all. Give Karens an inch and they'll take a mile.
dont forget that lawsuits might be harder in some countrys than the US (This was in the UK i think) and what you might get out of it might not be enough. i doubt op could have sued their company considering a lot of countrys have things in place for employees that get hurt on the job like that. (norway is defenitly one of those country, i should know because i needed crouches for 2 months afther a accident at my jobb in a stable where i broke a big toe and working in a stable with a cast on a foot is not a good combination when 70-90% of my job was walking. luckily it dident happen during summer but early authom so the bading season in the sea was done hehe
@@baldrian22 - Whether UK or US, Karen committed assault, which is a jailable offense. Definitely a sackable offense at that. So yes, Karen could have even been sued in the UK for medical costs incurred if insurance and such wouldnt cover them. Just because it is harder in the UK to sue someone, doesnt mean you cant.
@@Ryanthusar actually, if I understand US/UK common law correctly, she comitted aggravated battery, since she knew of OPs preexisting condition and deliberately targeted their weak knee in a way that guarantees permanent injury... If OP had had the endurance to have pressed criminal charges to court, that caren would have faced months, if not a couple of years in prison...
If Karen stomped on anyone’s leg they most likely would have had to go to the hospital. She wasn’t just mean and cruel she was psycho. Did she really think she would get away with that?
karens do not care about the results of their actions as they have gotten away with it for so long with people bowing down and kissing their feet they feel they can do anything and i am sure that that karen is just as bad as ever since all she got was probation for assaulting someone may be just maybe if she had gotten say 5 years in prison then she might have learned
He was going to be in pain after that stomp even if he didn’t already have a bad knee. Karen after stomping my knee: “Oh, you really do have a bad knee!” Me: “I didn’t before but I do now thanks to you!”
I am glad that the incident regarding "Grocery Store Karen" occurred in a small enough town in the U.K. where she was blacklisted from all potential employers that knew of her mental instability and extreme lack of workplace ethics.
Story 1: Never ever fuck with someone who makes your food. I worked for McD's way back in the day (back in HS) and you have no clue the kind of crap the 'cooks' will do to your food if you screw with the counter people.
That’s why I am always patient with them because I know that they’re usually very busy and overwhelmed. I remember one Karen who mouthed off about how it was apparently illegal to make her wait for 10 minutes in a fast food restaurant. She even threatened to call the cops and have all the employees deported because they were clearly “lazy Mexicans”(God she really ground my gears with that remark). I yelled at her to shut up and asked her who she thought would make her food if she did. Long story short, she was banned from that branch for life and I got my food for free as thanks. Best McNuggets ever
I would've just politely told Karen to book a hotel for the night, cause the only time she'll get any food will be the next morning. That, or just switching off the alarm and closing shop 😄
@@trixmania BK are a bunch of nazis. They don't care about employee mental health almost worse than any other company, at our bk they said we can't turn off the lobby lights after the lobby closes because it makes them lose sales. Keep in mind it's open until midnight and after 10 (lobby closing time) you only get 4-7 cars max
Story 3: If OP didn't have an injured knee, Karen stamping said knee definitely would've caused some serious harm, enough to be fired/sued over. And the lack of following protocols, looks like Karen cared more about her bottom line, even at the expense of others
Karma also bit her hard. I'm not surprised that she was in the midst of getting divorced and usually it's Karen's fault that she's getting divorced. I'm happy that her ex husband got custody and she didn't. Anyone that can be that vile to anyone more than deserves to live a miserable life.
Story 2 - The owner would also be in a lot of trouble with whoever the local food safety agency is, for have uncertified and untrained people cleaning a raw food processing area.
Oh. My. God. The first story is giving me war flashbacks. "Sorry we close at 8." "But it's ten-past 8." "Yes and we've been closed for ten minutes." "But I came all the way from blah-blah-ville." Karen we were open for *_11 hours_* why did you pick one of the ones when we're not?!
I had a GM, who would let people in 15 minutes before opening and after closing. This was at a restaurant, so if someone came in after closing, we’d be there for at least an hour longer. This especially sucked for the kitchen, who were usually close to finishing their cleaning by then, and had to start over.
Not just that. Retail, too. I work as a technician in a retail pharmacy and have had inconsiderate and entitled people come in right before closing. WHY? They had all fucking day to pick up their prescriptions! It won't kill them to wait til the next day. The pharmacy isn't going anywhere. It'll still be there and you'll still get your meds. I've learned three things working in that pharmacy, both as a front-end cashier and a pharmacy tech: 1. The customer is NOT always right. 2. Customers are inconsiderate and ignorant of us employees' time. 3. Customers are idiots. As George Carlin once said: "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."
@@DarDarBinks1986 If your posted hours state you are open til 8, then dont start closing before 8. Thats on you. People are NOT being inconsiderate by coming in just before closing. Maybe they didnt get sick until 7:30. Maybe THEY work til 7. Maybe they didnt realize the recipe called for owl's milk til they started cooking. Doesnt matter. If you want to close earlier, change your hours. You dont have to let them in AFTER 8, but pick a @#$! time and then stick to it.
Yeah, he really should have denied having a blue car. Then when he went out and she started screaming at him her should have said, "That's blue? Oh sorry. I'm color blind." while putting the boxes in and then gone back in to get the flowers.
I would have been saying "I have *a* blue car, not sure if it's _the_ particular blue car you're talking about, though. What's the make, model and plate number?" Bet you anything you like she won't be able to answer all of those on the spot and would have to go back out and check. "The one parked right next to the Lincoln" wouldn't be good enough. "Sorry, I've no idea _what_ I parked next to... I'm just here to pick up my packages."
Story 4 is hilarious! Funny funny teenage boys. 😁 Story 3. Karen should have had criminal charges against her for abuse. The ADA and Worker’s Comp should be notified as it was a workplace injury to begin with and OP was on work limitations. And perhaps “disabled“ already and she compounded and created new debilitating injuries. Probation was too lenient of a sentence on her.
Story 3: JESUS CHRIST!! My sister had a hiking accident! It was so bad that they had to do surgery on her leg!! Needless to say she's gonna be crippled for a while. I swear to Christ, if anyone fucks with her, accuses her of "faking an injury" or some bullshit like that. If anyone EVER threatens her. I. WILL. BE. OUT. FOR. *BLOOD.* More specifically, the blood of whoever fucks with my family. I seriously cannot stress this enough
Story 5: Sounds like the customer just had a bad day and took their anger out on an employee over a mistake involving an $8 purchase. It would explain why they apologized profusely after OP's letter
Story 1: Okay, fess up time, I've done this before--going through a drive thru at closing time. In my defense, when the person manning the window said, "Sorry but we're closed," I responded with, "I know and I'm sorry but I don't want anything off the grill. Could you by chance sell me one of your frozen pie desserts, please? My pregnant wife is having a craving and sent me out to find one." Surprisingly, (or not, really) I was told that was okay and given a congrats on the upcoming baby.
If you are nice and apologetic people will be nice to you. If you are demanding, people will act acording. In two weeks working in Quebec, I didn't find a single person who didn't speak some English. My anglophone coworkers from Ontario never found anyone who spoke any English at all. Some of them were the same people. Attitude makes a big difference.
For Story 3, I used to work in workers compensation and on one or two cases, the injured employee was forced to work despite evidence of such injury. The legal proceedings were short as the judge found the employer liable for aggravating or causing further injuries. The financial amounts awarded to the injured parties were huge. I do believe that anyone who would refuse to believe in anyone else's injury should not have a job in managing a place such as that Karen in Story 3.
Almost this exact scenario happened for my mom, but worker's comp took forever to finally set a date for surgery on a shoulder injury she got while on the job. She ended up quitting because they were making her work despite being told verbatim that she could take more time off due to the damage. She was in a leg brace for 2 weeks and she still can't move her arm much.
I think it was story 4 with the HOA. I was told that I couldn't have my business information on my car, and I had to remove it. So, I told them that if I take mine off, then everyone else who has any kind of business on their car has to be removed also. HOA left me alone.
Why? That would be stupid, if it were possible. This is the UK and it happened at work so it's a workplace incident, so the supermarket chain are responsible for what the Karen did. Who do you think has more money an unemployed about to be divorced Karen or the supermarket chain?? So you have to claim through the employer, but if you want revenge you call the police and report the Karen for assaulting you at work.
@@shendisackett in the USA, I would receive workers compensation but I could have gone after her personally as well… and I would have. She would of had to pay back my workers comp (L&I) plus paid me for pain and suffering.
@@Doc1855 in that case you'd think the company would go after an employee if they can recover the workers compensation. Suing an individual is risky unless you know they have assets. I know in the UK courts when people have won a judgement but the other party has no assets they're stuck getting something like £1 a week for years.
And Karen was reduced to a sad, divorced MLM lady in a small town, where she would never get enough work to be anything other than "PLEASE by my body sprays and loofahs!" Finally, a good consequence for their absolutely psycho actions. She literally attacked someone. SHE STOMPED SOMEONE'S KNEE?? AT WORK. What did she think would happen?!
Last story: when a$$hat Karen demanded to know if I was the one driving the blue car I would have denied it. Then, when I went to get into the very car she had asked me about and she starts her banshee wailing I would say, “What, it’s not grey? Huh, I must be color blind…always thought it was grey or brown or something.” 😂😂😂
The HOA story. Fight the power! So true. Should have gotten the person filing the complaints kicked off the board. Also should filed a restraining order against that person for harrasment. That last story reminded me of an incident I had at a grocery store. Some woman parked very close to the line and I parked perfectly in the middle between the lines, on her passenger side. There was not much room for her kids to get into her vehicle. She was mad, but I didn’t even acknowledge her. Hopefully she will learn how to park next time.
The third story reminds me of my cousin’s ex-boyfriend. He was on the wrestling team in high school and one day his coach got so mad at him he stomped his foot so hard he actually broke it. He sued the school and the coach and won $50,000.
Story 2 - Family Court: "So, you're going for custody of the children? On what grounds?" Husband: "My wife is violently unstable" Family Court: "Would you like us to relocate you and the children to a place of safety?"
so why wasnt Karen arrested for assault? even if OP was lying, stomping on someone's knee is assault. what was Karen thinking? Karen: Im going to make a honest person out of OP
Perhaps because of needing surgery etc.. OP didn't follow that up. I was in a bad car accident where I was hit from behind and badly injured. I was still strapped to the backboard with no pain relief or anything when the police asked if I wanted to prosecute, I said no. If I had of been in my right mind and not in so much pain I might have said yes. At least OP would have got a good payout from the supermarket chain.
Story 4: Once again thank's for the reminder to be happy that there are no HOA's where I live - since almost everything they do would be completely illegal here xD
Story 5 - laughed so hard, it actually hurt! That letter was priceless - stopped just short of having Steve beheaded and his head mounted on a shield in the staff cafeteria as a warning to others. A $8 purchase. The person wanted Steve fired over messing up a $8 purchase!
Drive-thru story: No, you lock the doors and let her sit there, while you call the police. But why would anyone antagonize people who are handling your food? Butcher counter story: Nope! Cleaning a butcher counter requires specialized training and cleaning chemicals. OP didn't have that. Packages story: I would have told the clerks: "No, I'm happy to wait my turn, take your time."
Or behind you. Decades ago, I was at a large hardware store. They had a half dozen double length parking spots for large trucks, up against the building. I was in a Stepvan, and already turning into the only open spot when i mini pickup cut me off and puled in while flipping me the bird. He was still waving it as he hurried into the store. I smiled and pulled in behind him, leaving only a couple inches to his back bumper and went in. He gave me a nasty grin, but I ignored him. I spent over a half hour shopping. He was screaming and cursing when I came out. I wasted another half hour rearranging things in my truck to unload my purchases. . As I'm finally walking to the driver's door he yelled, "If you ever do that again!" I sighed, "If you eve do that again, I'll simply push your truck through the wall." He finally shut up.
Sounds fake to me, at the start its described as an old heap of shit he doesn't care about, then at the end its described as a sign written company vehicle
@@benmac940 Just listened to it again; at no point does he call it a piece of shit or say he doesn't care about it. He only says it's old (2003), which is entirely possible to be a company car if it's a small company or he's self-employed (the story doesn't say). What threw me was that, in the HOA story, the OP actually refers to his car as a piece of crap.
Op needed to call the district manager on the manager when he went home to change his pants to show how incompetent she was. It was the perfect opportunity to show that she didn't know how to be a proper manager. I would have taken Karen to court for personal injury claim
Story 2, If I were OP Id make sure to check to make sure he didn't try to steal anything. Story 3, Holy crap that witch deserves to lose everything for that stunt. Even worse is how that witch got that position to begin with.
what was Karen thinking....how is stomping on op's knee proving he is faking? if anything would give him an actual injury (if he was faking)...was she thinking op would get up and scurry away with perfect legs?
For story 1: when I worked night shifts and a fast food place we were told to ignore people that came in after close but we would also get in trouble if our drive thru times were too long. People would sit there for 15-20 minutes yelling into the headsets we were required to wear. One night we were tired after a rush caused us to close late and didn't feel like dealing with the yelly person at 2am, my co-worker dared me to use a robot voice to inform people we were closed. It worked. No one ever questioned it.
Story 1: If she said she wasn't leaving until she got some food, just shrug, turn off the annunciator and the speaker, and go about your business. If she sticks it out long enough, she can watch the place go dark and see people file out and lock up behind themselves.
The Karen from the knee story took this whole thing from negligence leading to an ADA (or whatever laws there are for people with disabilities in the country this OP was from) lawsuit to assault and battery. If she got off with just being fired, I would be amazed.
LOL story 3 wouldn't have happened with me cos I'd have simply said "Ok", gone home and when she called me up, I'd have simply said "Well you said I had to change into "appropriate" trousers or I'm fired. I'd like that in writing, please." Then wait for Karen to perform the deed and have it in writing that I'm fired, then turn around and sue for wrongful dismissal and discriminatory termination... And cite the defendant as karen "operating with the authority of the company". Basically making it clear that I hold *Karen* responsible, NOT the company.
I'm a simple man. If a stranger grabs me or even hurts me. They will instantly know the feeling of someone who is gonna defend themselves 100% and ha's no mercy.
I once had someone accuse me of faking my amputation. Even though my prosthetic leg consists of a black carbon fiber socket mounted in a 2 inch dimeter pylon. There was nowhere for my lower leg to be other than where ever they took medical waste. Despite this she still insisted I was faking because she assumed a real amputee would not be capable of the things I can do. I lost my leg at age 3, coming up on 51 years ago in January. I have pushed the boundaries of my limitations for my entire life, so I am very much aware of what I can and cannot do. I know that most people think a limb loss is way more debilitating than it actually is. I have not discovered very many things I can't do, and most of them have more to do with limitations of talent than legs, for example, I can't dance. As an adult I saw a little girl with an amputation very much like my own, and she is winning competitions against able bodied dancers. Or maybe she just heard me wrong when I said I was a bellow knee amputee and she thought I had said bologna amputee.
Story 1. Why did you engage op? Sorry, were closed. We close at 12. Then don't say anything after that no matter what. That's how thru get you. I worked closing shift at McDonald's, we'd close at 11 o'clock sharp. If someone threw a tantrum, we'd just record their freak out and share it with the rest of the crew later. Edit: I would've done exactly as op did. She demands food? You got it.
Karen: Looks like you can't get in either... Me: [Looks at narrow gap I navigated to get out of my car when I first parked] Yup! looks like we're both stuck here for a while...Sucks to be us doesn't it... Karen: [Goes into Apoplectic fit of screeches and Bitching]...MOVE YOUR CAR NOW!!! Me: I can't...as you just pointed out, I can't get into me car any more than you can get into yours...maybe next time, you'll learn how to park in between the lines like a Civilized person...[Turns and walks to nearest coffee shop to get a coffee and wait for the person next to me to leave so I can get into my car and leave, and call my Boss to let him know what's happening and why he might get an enraged Mega-Karenasarus Rex screaming at him on the phone shortly]... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
I manage a restaurant in our local casino, and I can absolutely understand the cook's impulse to deal with the Karen's demand. I also know that that's potentially massive liability for the restaurant and criminal charges for the cook and Assistant Manager.
The Karen of story 3 is no manager. She by demanding workers exceed their limits is creating a bad work environment and the labor relation boards (or whatever they're called in your area) will have a field day with her and the company.
Story 1: I worked at McD's & closed at 10:30PM. I had a Karen at the drive thru at almost 11 demanding food or she would wait. I told her we open at 5AM for breakfast...see you then. Story 3: Personally I would have called the police just after the paramedics to file Assault & Battery against her. Later she could be civilly sued for the intentional injury to the knee area. Story 4: The mom should have countered with "You fined me repeatedly for something that is NOT in the bylaws so I am fining you the same amount you fined me...plus 1 dollar." Story 6: what would have been even funnier is if when Karen picked up his flowers OP would have told the CSA's to call the police because she just stole his property :)
Story 4: This reminds me of something my dad told me about. When my grandfather on my dad's side was in high school, he and his friends were quite the jokers. Now, this is back when cars' engine spaces were at least half empty instead of jam-packed with everything but the kitchen sink. My granddad and one of his friends worked in an auto garage, so here's what they'd do. Grandpa and his friends would go through the big bins of broken pieces and STUFF the hood of their car with a bunch of things a car CANNOT run without. We're talking pistons, spark plugs, the works. That done, they'd rig up a cup full of gasoline right above the exhaust pipe and attach a string to it. They'd drive around for a while, then, at an intersection, they'd do this: The light would turn green, they'd pull into the intersection, and one of them would pull the string. The cup would tip over, pouring gas onto the exhaust, creating a cloud of smoke. They'd all jump out at once matrix-style, run to the front, pop the hood, and crowd around it. They would then start grabbing whatever from the parts they crammed in and throwing them out over their shoulders. Meanwhile, one of them watched the light. When the light went yellow, they jumped back, slammed the hood shut, got back in the car, and drove off. So imagine being one of the people around them. You're just happily (or unhappily) driving along and a car suddenly breaks down. Its passengers jump out, open the hood, and remove everything essential to the car's function. Then, that done, they get back in and drive off.
"...I never saw the Karen again." And nothing of value was lost. Third story: Doesn't matter whether or not there's a pre-existing injury; any kind of attack like that can cause significant damage.
Story - 3: Personally, if she had done that to me I would have taken her to court and do everything in my power to ruin her. Mere probation isn't enough, that injury and the aggravation from the heavy lifting could have resulted in a far worse injury. I'm a rather vindictive person when I get fucked with, if you couldn't tell.
Story 6: OP should have definitely said "What blue car?" because then the employees wouldn't have skipped him in line and it would have taken even longer!
I would have liked to have seen the scene that made the post office workers eager to accommodate Karen's departure. I also wouldn't have encouraged it because it would just make her more entitled in the future. Other than having no sense of personal space, she didn't seem like the usual nuclear Karen, so I don't see why the workers were so nervous about her.
Definitely don't piss off a cook! My 1st husband was a cook and the stories of malicious compliance he told me would horrify most people. There was the spitting up huge wads of phlegm into the food, to throwing a steak on the ground and stomping on it with their filthy work boots...and then serving that to problem customers. It seems there are many cooks out there who feel justified to take their rage out on others, from kitchen staff to customers. IDK why they get like that, or if that kind of temperment is what it takes to be a cook/chef, but I can tell you that eating food cooked by someone like that is like eating poison...even when the food is not a malicious compliance product.
Story 1 hurts me so much. Where I work, we open and close right on the dot and don't take anymore customers (exceptions being extreme cases). If you're 1 minute late? It sucks, but too bad
Story 1: Both parties have their fault. Story 2: Oh great, another lazy ass that racked up losses Story 3: Am I the only one that somehow tried to imagine the pain the OP went through...? Story 4: HOA... Just why? Story 5: Well, OP is definitely a low-key savage. Story 6: Parking stories seems to always manage to crack a chuckle out of me for some reasons
Back in the 80s i worked in a now defunct steak house. It really wasn't wise to annoy the cooks. Send it back polite and a valid complaint, no problem. Rude and wrong, ohhhh boy! Your steak would hit the floor, stomped on, and given back. I was 16 years old. Even the cooks were in high school. I don't condone doing this today!!
Years ago a family member ordered something online. A $20 item. The website accidentally sent him a totally different $300 item. We notified the site. Customer service was very apologetic. We are very understanding and understand workers are human and humans make mistakes. The site promptly sent the $20 item. When we asked how do we return the $300 item the site told us to keep it. Since we had no use for it we donated it to raise money for a charity we volunteer for. The $300 raised $600 for charity. Karen’s maybe you should consider being polite to all the Steve’s. You might get an unexpected reward
I am very pleasant to everyone in food service, butchers, deli employees, etc. I know / knew people who work in food service who have told me service. You REALLY don’t want to mess with them. That’s all I’m saying. 😳
Story #1: I think it would've been much more fun to tell her, "Okay, ma'am. You're not leaving till you get food. I hear you. We'll be opening again at 6:30 AM, so have a nice night." Then finish closing up and leave her there.
When I got my first car my mom lived at a place that had an HOA and apparently a teenage girl washing her car was a problem since my shirt got wet. My mom wasn’t having it though. Thing is, I wasn’t a bikini girl, had the body for it, just not my thing. But after a few fines came in mom comes home with a 2 piece and tells me, you know what to do. Washed the car every day for a week like that, after me and mom turning up to a meeting dressed like that, they gave up. It was fun seeing their expressions
Thanks to Reddit teaching me stuff as a teen, I and my bf have sworn to never, ever, EVER move to an HOA neighborhood, as well as establish one in our own under any circumstances. No exceptions. I refuse to allow any HOA to have the authority to tell me what i can and cannot do in my own yard/house.
For the first story, I worked in every fast food restaurant in my town when I was a teenager and my first year of college. I was fired from them all too. Because when I got jerk entitled customers, I did FAR worse to them. If you want to know what I did to who I to this day call "The Chili Lady" that used to come to Wendy's, just ask. They never proved I did anything, but fired me anyway for "suspicion of mischief."
Story 1. I would have let her sit there, turned the volume down, locked the doors, completed closing, and when it was time to leave walked by and waved bye..
She said the company paid her compensation. In the UK there are no medical costs, although she could make them pay for her to have private treatment in the recovery phase, like for physio. In situations like this it is a workplace incident so the supermarket chain is held responsible for the Karen's behaviour, and who do you think has more money, an unemployed about to be divorced Karen or the supermarket chain? I would however have reported her to the police for the assault to see if she could be prosecuted.
Story 2: honestly, people who think they can make money just by owning things suck. Story 4: honestly, I can't say I disagree with the HOA in theory. Working on vehicles can lead to leaks of all sorts of toxic fluids. That said, they were definitely fine trigger happy there.
Story 1: One of the rules I try to live by is "Don't piss off the people preparing your food."
Or do your taxes.
Exactly. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
I wouldn't have been surprised if that crazy B!t€h ate that food just to give herself food poisoning so she could sue the store
Exactly. Restaurant workers can and will spit in your food if you piss them off.
While I've never worked in fast food, I do know that if I were in OP's position, I'd have simply told Karen that we were closed and to go home. If she insisted on sitting in the drive-thru, I'd have called the cops on her. I wouldn't even give her the trash food at all. Give Karens an inch and they'll take a mile.
In Navy boot camp, the first week, we were taught not to anger the cook or the pay clerk!
Story 3: Karen is a walking nightmare for a company because anything she does can be sue against her and the company.
dont forget that lawsuits might be harder in some countrys than the US (This was in the UK i think) and what you might get out of it might not be enough. i doubt op could have sued their company considering a lot of countrys have things in place for employees that get hurt on the job like that. (norway is defenitly one of those country, i should know because i needed crouches for 2 months afther a accident at my jobb in a stable where i broke a big toe and working in a stable with a cast on a foot is not a good combination when 70-90% of my job was walking. luckily it dident happen during summer but early authom so the bading season in the sea was done hehe
She is a walking liability
Don't worry she got fired at the end of the story
@@baldrian22 - Whether UK or US, Karen committed assault, which is a jailable offense. Definitely a sackable offense at that. So yes, Karen could have even been sued in the UK for medical costs incurred if insurance and such wouldnt cover them. Just because it is harder in the UK to sue someone, doesnt mean you cant.
@@Ryanthusar actually, if I understand US/UK common law correctly, she comitted aggravated battery, since she knew of OPs preexisting condition and deliberately targeted their weak knee in a way that guarantees permanent injury...
If OP had had the endurance to have pressed criminal charges to court, that caren would have faced months, if not a couple of years in prison...
If Karen stomped on anyone’s leg they most likely would have had to go to the hospital. She wasn’t just mean and cruel she was psycho. Did she really think she would get away with that?
karens do not care about the results of their actions as they have gotten away with it for so long with people bowing down and kissing their feet they feel they can do anything and i am sure that that karen is just as bad as ever since all she got was probation for assaulting someone may be just maybe if she had gotten say 5 years in prison then she might have learned
Here in Chile one karen did this to his employee. He was severely punched by the victim, kicked from the company and almost went into jail.
Yeah, stomp my leg, prepare to be sent to the ER! 😡
He was going to be in pain after that stomp even if he didn’t already have a bad knee.
Karen after stomping my knee: “Oh, you really do have a bad knee!”
Me: “I didn’t before but I do now thanks to you!”
9:47 You stomp on someone’s knee they are going to be in pain.
I am glad that the incident regarding "Grocery Store Karen" occurred in a small enough town in the U.K. where she was blacklisted from all potential employers that knew of her mental instability and extreme lack of workplace ethics.
Story 1: Never ever fuck with someone who makes your food. I worked for McD's way back in the day (back in HS) and you have no clue the kind of crap the 'cooks' will do to your food if you screw with the counter people.
I worked there many moons ago; definitely I know 😁
that's why i always use my best customer service voice uwu. i work in call centers.
such is the exact reason I'm polite to the servers they go through Hell I'm not going to add to it
That’s why I am always patient with them because I know that they’re usually very busy and overwhelmed. I remember one Karen who mouthed off about how it was apparently illegal to make her wait for 10 minutes in a fast food restaurant. She even threatened to call the cops and have all the employees deported because they were clearly “lazy Mexicans”(God she really ground my gears with that remark). I yelled at her to shut up and asked her who she thought would make her food if she did. Long story short, she was banned from that branch for life and I got my food for free as thanks. Best McNuggets ever
Story 1: this is why you never answer the drive thru after hours. As a former shift manager
I would've just politely told Karen to book a hotel for the night, cause the only time she'll get any food will be the next morning. That, or just switching off the alarm and closing shop 😄
Or, call the cops and have her tresspassed.
@@lancerevell5979, that should have been OPs first response were I live there's only two types that show up after hours drunks/stoners or robbers
Turn off the lights... or dim them to closed then pretend to have gone home.
@@trixmania BK are a bunch of nazis. They don't care about employee mental health almost worse than any other company, at our bk they said we can't turn off the lobby lights after the lobby closes because it makes them lose sales.
Keep in mind it's open until midnight and after 10 (lobby closing time) you only get 4-7 cars max
Story 3: If OP didn't have an injured knee, Karen stamping said knee definitely would've caused some serious harm, enough to be fired/sued over. And the lack of following protocols, looks like Karen cared more about her bottom line, even at the expense of others
Karma also bit her hard. I'm not surprised that she was in the midst of getting divorced and usually it's Karen's fault that she's getting divorced. I'm happy that her ex husband got custody and she didn't. Anyone that can be that vile to anyone more than deserves to live a miserable life.
Facts but it would had been avoided if the original poster didn't listen to the karen
Yeah if it wasn't already injured, stomping on it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
@@og_3rd_st_saint_gat no way you’re trying to blame Op for doing this hair job
@@locusxe1411 I'm not I'm saying the original poster had a right to refuse to do the job and didn't refuse its not her fault at all
#2 is so satisfactory. Don't ever threaten your employee with firing, they might just agree to it and just up and go. Leaving you in a deeper hole.
As the saying goes, "When you're in a hole, don't keep digging."
I love how he just quietly left and went home, leaving lazy boss in the office. Then the whole store gets emptied. 😂
"Well boss, fired is fired."
Story 2 - The owner would also be in a lot of trouble with whoever the local food safety agency is, for have uncertified and untrained people cleaning a raw food processing area.
That's typical of the places I read about in the local paper when they get shut down by the authorities.
Oh. My. God. The first story is giving me war flashbacks. "Sorry we close at 8." "But it's ten-past 8." "Yes and we've been closed for ten minutes." "But I came all the way from blah-blah-ville."
Karen we were open for *_11 hours_* why did you pick one of the ones when we're not?!
I had a GM, who would let people in 15 minutes before opening and after closing. This was at a restaurant, so if someone came in after closing, we’d be there for at least an hour longer. This especially sucked for the kitchen, who were usually close to finishing their cleaning by then, and had to start over.
@@alliet.7582 was your GM Satan? That sounds like some Satan-level shit
@@alliet.7582 It's a shame their workers couldn't leave THEM to do all the closing after hhey let them in late.
Not just that. Retail, too. I work as a technician in a retail pharmacy and have had inconsiderate and entitled people come in right before closing. WHY? They had all fucking day to pick up their prescriptions! It won't kill them to wait til the next day. The pharmacy isn't going anywhere. It'll still be there and you'll still get your meds.
I've learned three things working in that pharmacy, both as a front-end cashier and a pharmacy tech:
1. The customer is NOT always right.
2. Customers are inconsiderate and ignorant of us employees' time.
3. Customers are idiots. As George Carlin once said: "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."
@@DarDarBinks1986 If your posted hours state you are open til 8, then dont start closing before 8. Thats on you. People are NOT being inconsiderate by coming in just before closing. Maybe they didnt get sick until 7:30. Maybe THEY work til 7. Maybe they didnt realize the recipe called for owl's milk til they started cooking. Doesnt matter. If you want to close earlier, change your hours. You dont have to let them in AFTER 8, but pick a @#$! time and then stick to it.
Yeah, he really should have denied having a blue car. Then when he went out and she started screaming at him her should have said, "That's blue? Oh sorry. I'm color blind." while putting the boxes in and then gone back in to get the flowers.
I would have been saying "I have *a* blue car, not sure if it's _the_ particular blue car you're talking about, though. What's the make, model and plate number?"
Bet you anything you like she won't be able to answer all of those on the spot and would have to go back out and check. "The one parked right next to the Lincoln" wouldn't be good enough. "Sorry, I've no idea _what_ I parked next to... I'm just here to pick up my packages."
Story 4 is hilarious! Funny funny teenage boys. 😁
Story 3. Karen should have had criminal charges against her for abuse. The ADA and Worker’s Comp should be notified as it was a workplace injury to begin with and OP was on work limitations. And perhaps “disabled“ already and she compounded and created new debilitating injuries. Probation was too lenient of a sentence on her.
Uh, ADA does not apply. The first A stands for Americans. The poster reports they are in the UK.
Story 3: JESUS CHRIST!! My sister had a hiking accident! It was so bad that they had to do surgery on her leg!! Needless to say she's gonna be crippled for a while. I swear to Christ, if anyone fucks with her, accuses her of "faking an injury" or some bullshit like that. If anyone EVER threatens her. I. WILL. BE. OUT. FOR. *BLOOD.* More specifically, the blood of whoever fucks with my family. I seriously cannot stress this enough
Story 5: Sounds like the customer just had a bad day and took their anger out on an employee over a mistake involving an $8 purchase. It would explain why they apologized profusely after OP's letter
Yeah but you can't deny that they probably deserved that.
Agreed, but I bet they don't do it anymore
Story 1: Okay, fess up time, I've done this before--going through a drive thru at closing time.
In my defense, when the person manning the window said, "Sorry but we're closed," I responded with, "I know and I'm sorry but I don't want anything off the grill. Could you by chance sell me one of your frozen pie desserts, please? My pregnant wife is having a craving and sent me out to find one."
Surprisingly, (or not, really) I was told that was okay and given a congrats on the upcoming baby.
At least you were cordial and not being a Karen.
If you are nice and apologetic people will be nice to you. If you are demanding, people will act acording.
In two weeks working in Quebec, I didn't find a single person who didn't speak some English. My anglophone coworkers from Ontario never found anyone who spoke any English at all. Some of them were the same people.
Attitude makes a big difference.
For Story 3, I used to work in workers compensation and on one or two cases, the injured employee was forced to work despite evidence of such injury. The legal proceedings were short as the judge found the employer liable for aggravating or causing further injuries. The financial amounts awarded to the injured parties were huge. I do believe that anyone who would refuse to believe in anyone else's injury should not have a job in managing a place such as that Karen in Story 3.
Almost this exact scenario happened for my mom, but worker's comp took forever to finally set a date for surgery on a shoulder injury she got while on the job. She ended up quitting because they were making her work despite being told verbatim that she could take more time off due to the damage. She was in a leg brace for 2 weeks and she still can't move her arm much.
I think it was story 4 with the HOA. I was told that I couldn't have my business information on my car, and I had to remove it. So, I told them that if I take mine off, then everyone else who has any kind of business on their car has to be removed also. HOA left me alone.
If Karen would have stomped on my wounded knee, I would have sued her personally
Why? That would be stupid, if it were possible. This is the UK and it happened at work so it's a workplace incident, so the supermarket chain are responsible for what the Karen did. Who do you think has more money an unemployed about to be divorced Karen or the supermarket chain?? So you have to claim through the employer, but if you want revenge you call the police and report the Karen for assaulting you at work.
@@shendisackett in the USA, I would receive workers compensation but I could have gone after her personally as well… and I would have.
She would of had to pay back my workers comp (L&I) plus paid me for pain and suffering.
@@Doc1855 in that case you'd think the company would go after an employee if they can recover the workers compensation. Suing an individual is risky unless you know they have assets. I know in the UK courts when people have won a judgement but the other party has no assets they're stuck getting something like £1 a week for years.
@@shendisackett It’s different in the USA.
We can put leans on everything they own, yes even the clothes on their back.
Karen most likely would have lost her job regardless if she stomped on ops knee or not but that did make thing a lot worse for her.
And Karen was reduced to a sad, divorced MLM lady in a small town, where she would never get enough work to be anything other than "PLEASE by my body sprays and loofahs!"
Finally, a good consequence for their absolutely psycho actions. She literally attacked someone. SHE STOMPED SOMEONE'S KNEE?? AT WORK. What did she think would happen?!
Last story: when a$$hat Karen demanded to know if I was the one driving the blue car I would have denied it. Then, when I went to get into the very car she had asked me about and she starts her banshee wailing I would say, “What, it’s not grey? Huh, I must be color blind…always thought it was grey or brown or something.” 😂😂😂
"It's not blue, it's cerulean."
Azul! Cyan! Periwinkle!
The HOA story. Fight the power! So true. Should have gotten the person filing the complaints kicked off the board. Also should filed a restraining order against that person for harrasment. That last story reminded me of an incident I had at a grocery store. Some woman parked very close to the line and I parked perfectly in the middle between the lines, on her passenger side. There was not much room for her kids to get into her vehicle. She was mad, but I didn’t even acknowledge her. Hopefully she will learn how to park next time.
First story: I’d be more worried about the liability to the restaurant, really.
The third story reminds me of my cousin’s ex-boyfriend. He was on the wrestling team in high school and one day his coach got so mad at him he stomped his foot so hard he actually broke it. He sued the school and the coach and won $50,000.
Story 1:
OP did what all of us who worked on fast food industry dream and want to do
Story 2 - Family Court: "So, you're going for custody of the children? On what grounds?" Husband: "My wife is violently unstable" Family Court: "Would you like us to relocate you and the children to a place of safety?"
Story 1: absolutely disgusting and the wrong call but also not exactly undeserved. Do NOT piss off the people who handle your food.
I would have filed charges with the police for assault after getting stepped on by the manager.
so why wasnt Karen arrested for assault?
even if OP was lying, stomping on someone's knee is assault. what was Karen thinking?
Karen: Im going to make a honest person out of OP
Perhaps because of needing surgery etc.. OP didn't follow that up. I was in a bad car accident where I was hit from behind and badly injured. I was still strapped to the backboard with no pain relief or anything when the police asked if I wanted to prosecute, I said no. If I had of been in my right mind and not in so much pain I might have said yes. At least OP would have got a good payout from the supermarket chain.
The boss in story 5 is amazing! Giving the angry customer the story about Steve was genius! Love ya, Dark Fluff and Stevo!
Story 4: Once again thank's for the reminder to be happy that there are no HOA's where I live - since almost everything they do would be completely illegal here xD
Story 5 - laughed so hard, it actually hurt! That letter was priceless - stopped just short of having Steve beheaded and his head mounted on a shield in the staff cafeteria as a warning to others. A $8 purchase. The person wanted Steve fired over messing up a $8 purchase!
Drive-thru story: No, you lock the doors and let her sit there, while you call the police. But why would anyone antagonize people who are handling your food?
Butcher counter story: Nope! Cleaning a butcher counter requires specialized training and cleaning chemicals. OP didn't have that.
Packages story: I would have told the clerks: "No, I'm happy to wait my turn, take your time."
Story 1: If the drive-thru beeps AFTER closing time, don't respond...at all...because it won't end well ever!
Story#1 the girl gave the customer exactly what she asked for,something to eat,not her problem if Karen got sick over it.
To quote Ryan Reynold's character from the movie Waiting, "Don't f*ck with the people that prepare your food." 🤣🤣🤣
Story 3. To heck with Karen. Send me home. Fire me. Im nit gonna do ANYTHING you want. Oh, and HR will here about this
Last story:
Always remember, folks: no matter how badly you park, there WILL be someone crazy or desperate enough to park next to you 😏
Or behind you.
Decades ago, I was at a large hardware store. They had a half dozen double length parking spots for large trucks, up against the building. I was in a Stepvan, and already turning into the only open spot when i mini pickup cut me off and puled in while flipping me the bird. He was still waving it as he hurried into the store.
I smiled and pulled in behind him, leaving only a couple inches to his back bumper and went in. He gave me a nasty grin, but I ignored him. I spent over a half hour shopping. He was screaming and cursing when I came out. I wasted another half hour rearranging things in my truck to unload my purchases. . As I'm finally walking to the driver's door he yelled, "If you ever do that again!" I sighed, "If you eve do that again, I'll simply push your truck through the wall." He finally shut up.
Sounds fake to me, at the start its described as an old heap of shit he doesn't care about, then at the end its described as a sign written company vehicle
@@benmac940 That was two different stories; the POS was the one with the HOA, not the lady who can't park correctly...
@Suzi Wolf you could do with double checking around the 19:30 mark before you try calling people out. As if you do I am certain you'll find I'm right
@@benmac940 Just listened to it again; at no point does he call it a piece of shit or say he doesn't care about it. He only says it's old (2003), which is entirely possible to be a company car if it's a small company or he's self-employed (the story doesn't say). What threw me was that, in the HOA story, the OP actually refers to his car as a piece of crap.
Op needed to call the district manager on the manager when he went home to change his pants to show how incompetent she was. It was the perfect opportunity to show that she didn't know how to be a proper manager.
I would have taken Karen to court for personal injury claim
Story 2, If I were OP Id make sure to check to make sure he didn't try to steal anything.
Story 3, Holy crap that witch deserves to lose everything for that stunt. Even worse is how that witch got that position to begin with.
what was Karen thinking....how is stomping on op's knee proving he is faking? if anything would give him an actual injury (if he was faking)...was she thinking op would get up and scurry away with perfect legs?
Last story - I would have tried to tip the Karen for carrying the flowers to my car. Like she worked there or something. LOL
For story 1: when I worked night shifts and a fast food place we were told to ignore people that came in after close but we would also get in trouble if our drive thru times were too long. People would sit there for 15-20 minutes yelling into the headsets we were required to wear. One night we were tired after a rush caused us to close late and didn't feel like dealing with the yelly person at 2am, my co-worker dared me to use a robot voice to inform people we were closed. It worked. No one ever questioned it.
That first story, turned up at 12.20am ,when the store has closed at 12 ,you get what you get lol
Story 1: If she said she wasn't leaving until she got some food, just shrug, turn off the annunciator and the speaker, and go about your business. If she sticks it out long enough, she can watch the place go dark and see people file out and lock up behind themselves.
Nope! She's likely to attack employees as they attempt to leave. Call the police.
The Karen from the knee story took this whole thing from negligence leading to an ADA (or whatever laws there are for people with disabilities in the country this OP was from) lawsuit to assault and battery. If she got off with just being fired, I would be amazed.
LOL story 3 wouldn't have happened with me cos I'd have simply said "Ok", gone home and when she called me up, I'd have simply said "Well you said I had to change into "appropriate" trousers or I'm fired. I'd like that in writing, please." Then wait for Karen to perform the deed and have it in writing that I'm fired, then turn around and sue for wrongful dismissal and discriminatory termination... And cite the defendant as karen "operating with the authority of the company". Basically making it clear that I hold *Karen* responsible, NOT the company.
I'm a simple man. If a stranger grabs me or even hurts me. They will instantly know the feeling of someone who is gonna defend themselves 100% and ha's no mercy.
Okay, killer. 🤣🤣🤣
@@eekwibble It's called = Self defence.
#1, well, ask and ye shall receive!! the hoa one? pure gold.
I once had someone accuse me of faking my amputation. Even though my prosthetic leg consists of a black carbon fiber socket mounted in a 2 inch dimeter pylon.
There was nowhere for my lower leg to be other than where ever they took medical waste.
Despite this she still insisted I was faking because she assumed a real amputee would not be capable of the things I can do.
I lost my leg at age 3, coming up on 51 years ago in January. I have pushed the boundaries of my limitations for my entire life, so I am very much aware of what I can and cannot do. I know that most people think a limb loss is way more debilitating than it actually is.
I have not discovered very many things I can't do, and most of them have more to do with limitations of talent than legs, for example, I can't dance. As an adult I saw a little girl with an amputation very much like my own, and she is winning competitions against able bodied dancers.
Or maybe she just heard me wrong when I said I was a bellow knee amputee and she thought I had said bologna amputee.
Story 1. Why did you engage op? Sorry, were closed. We close at 12. Then don't say anything after that no matter what. That's how thru get you. I worked closing shift at McDonald's, we'd close at 11 o'clock sharp. If someone threw a tantrum, we'd just record their freak out and share it with the rest of the crew later.
Edit: I would've done exactly as op did. She demands food? You got it.
Karen: Looks like you can't get in either...
Me: [Looks at narrow gap I navigated to get out of my car when I first parked] Yup! looks like we're both stuck here for a while...Sucks to be us doesn't it...
Karen: [Goes into Apoplectic fit of screeches and Bitching]...MOVE YOUR CAR NOW!!!
Me: I can't...as you just pointed out, I can't get into me car any more than you can get into yours...maybe next time, you'll learn how to park in between the lines like a Civilized person...[Turns and walks to nearest coffee shop to get a coffee and wait for the person next to me to leave so I can get into my car and leave, and call my Boss to let him know what's happening and why he might get an enraged Mega-Karenasarus Rex screaming at him on the phone shortly]...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
If I were an OP’s shoes in the first story, and since the Karen was demanding to be served something, I probably would’ve served her 2 🖕🖕
I manage a restaurant in our local casino, and I can absolutely understand the cook's impulse to deal with the Karen's demand.
I also know that that's potentially massive liability for the restaurant and criminal charges for the cook and Assistant Manager.
Story 1: The worst kind of Karen, is an hangry Karen.
I've seen a few of those on "Worlds Dumbest Criminals"
The Karen of story 3 is no manager. She by demanding workers exceed their limits is creating a bad work environment and the labor relation boards (or whatever they're called in your area) will have a field day with her and the company.
"Your leg isn't injured!!! I'll prove it by injuring your leg!!!"
That's Karen logic for you!
Story 1: I worked at McD's & closed at 10:30PM. I had a Karen at the drive thru at almost 11 demanding food or she would wait. I told her we open at 5AM for breakfast...see you then.
Story 3: Personally I would have called the police just after the paramedics to file Assault & Battery against her. Later she could be civilly sued for the intentional injury to the knee area.
Story 4: The mom should have countered with "You fined me repeatedly for something that is NOT in the bylaws so I am fining you the same amount you fined me...plus 1 dollar."
Story 6: what would have been even funnier is if when Karen picked up his flowers OP would have told the CSA's to call the police because she just stole his property :)
Remember to "Fire Steve" two weeks before Christmas!
LOL 😂😂😂
Story 2: OP should have sued her. He would have won easily, and she would have deserved it
She should have been forced into an extended stay at a mental facility as well as anger management counseling
Nope, she shoulda gone right to jail
I would have just given Karen #1 a bag of condiments.
1st story
I've seen so many people who come after close demanding food and being told no is daunting
If story 3 happened to me that manger would have had a broken leg
Story 4:
This reminds me of something my dad told me about. When my grandfather on my dad's side was in high school, he and his friends were quite the jokers. Now, this is back when cars' engine spaces were at least half empty instead of jam-packed with everything but the kitchen sink. My granddad and one of his friends worked in an auto garage, so here's what they'd do. Grandpa and his friends would go through the big bins of broken pieces and STUFF the hood of their car with a bunch of things a car CANNOT run without. We're talking pistons, spark plugs, the works. That done, they'd rig up a cup full of gasoline right above the exhaust pipe and attach a string to it. They'd drive around for a while, then, at an intersection, they'd do this:
The light would turn green, they'd pull into the intersection, and one of them would pull the string. The cup would tip over, pouring gas onto the exhaust, creating a cloud of smoke. They'd all jump out at once matrix-style, run to the front, pop the hood, and crowd around it. They would then start grabbing whatever from the parts they crammed in and throwing them out over their shoulders. Meanwhile, one of them watched the light. When the light went yellow, they jumped back, slammed the hood shut, got back in the car, and drove off.
So imagine being one of the people around them. You're just happily (or unhappily) driving along and a car suddenly breaks down. Its passengers jump out, open the hood, and remove everything essential to the car's function. Then, that done, they get back in and drive off.
"...I never saw the Karen again." And nothing of value was lost.
Third story: Doesn't matter whether or not there's a pre-existing injury; any kind of attack like that can cause significant damage.
Story - 3: Personally, if she had done that to me I would have taken her to court and do everything in my power to ruin her. Mere probation isn't enough, that injury and the aggravation from the heavy lifting could have resulted in a far worse injury. I'm a rather vindictive person when I get fucked with, if you couldn't tell.
Story 6: OP should have definitely said "What blue car?" because then the employees wouldn't have skipped him in line and it would have taken even longer!
I would have liked to have seen the scene that made the post office workers eager to accommodate Karen's departure. I also wouldn't have encouraged it because it would just make her more entitled in the future. Other than having no sense of personal space, she didn't seem like the usual nuclear Karen, so I don't see why the workers were so nervous about her.
@@meh2510 we don't know what she did before hand so I'm guessing it was really bad.
Definitely don't piss off a cook! My 1st husband was a cook and the stories of malicious compliance he told me would horrify most people. There was the spitting up huge wads of phlegm into the food, to throwing a steak on the ground and stomping on it with their filthy work boots...and then serving that to problem customers. It seems there are many cooks out there who feel justified to take their rage out on others, from kitchen staff to customers. IDK why they get like that, or if that kind of temperment is what it takes to be a cook/chef, but I can tell you that eating food cooked by someone like that is like eating poison...even when the food is not a malicious compliance product.
Story 1 hurts me so much. Where I work, we open and close right on the dot and don't take anymore customers (exceptions being extreme cases). If you're 1 minute late? It sucks, but too bad
And a very good rule to live by that I've been telling people for years and years, never piss off the people that handle your food....
To paraphrase Alf: "Blue Car? What colour has it?"
Story 1: Both parties have their fault.
Story 2: Oh great, another lazy ass that racked up losses
Story 3: Am I the only one that somehow tried to imagine the pain the OP went through...?
Story 4: HOA... Just why?
Story 5: Well, OP is definitely a low-key savage.
Story 6: Parking stories seems to always manage to crack a chuckle out of me for some reasons
If someone stomped on my knee after telling them it was injured, I would have to sue their estate.
Back in the 80s i worked in a now defunct steak house. It really wasn't wise to annoy the cooks. Send it back polite and a valid complaint, no problem. Rude and wrong, ohhhh boy! Your steak would hit the floor, stomped on, and given back. I was 16 years old. Even the cooks were in high school. I don't condone doing this today!!
Good job on the cook being a fast thinker. -1 chicken sandwich and fries on the inventory loss list.
Years ago a family member ordered something online. A $20 item. The website accidentally sent him a totally different $300 item. We notified the site. Customer service was very apologetic. We are very understanding and understand workers are human and humans make mistakes. The site promptly sent the $20 item. When we asked how do we return the $300 item the site told us to keep it. Since we had no use for it we donated it to raise money for a charity we volunteer for. The $300 raised $600 for charity. Karen’s maybe you should consider being polite to all the Steve’s. You might get an unexpected reward
I am very pleasant to everyone in food service, butchers, deli employees, etc. I know / knew people who work in food service who have told me service. You REALLY don’t want to mess with them. That’s all I’m saying. 😳
"...drawing my engine 10 minutes at a time." lol
Story #1: I think it would've been much more fun to tell her, "Okay, ma'am. You're not leaving till you get food. I hear you. We'll be opening again at 6:30 AM, so have a nice night." Then finish closing up and leave her there.
When I got my first car my mom lived at a place that had an HOA and apparently a teenage girl washing her car was a problem since my shirt got wet.
My mom wasn’t having it though. Thing is, I wasn’t a bikini girl, had the body for it, just not my thing. But after a few fines came in mom comes home with a 2 piece and tells me, you know what to do. Washed the car every day for a week like that, after me and mom turning up to a meeting dressed like that, they gave up. It was fun seeing their expressions
Betcha the "owner" was taking "care" of Mommy's store.
Santa just called the cops on her honking and being a nuisance at the drive-thru
Story one is crazy, the worst thing I ever did was serve someone slightly burnt chicken and watered down their Hi c.
Story 1: Be careful what you ask for; you just might get it. Thank you for the laugh. 😆🤣
Story 1: I've had that happen before. Turn off the headset and go about your day.
Post office: I would sit there in my car until hell froze over.
Story 1. Never be rude to food service! I was a teen once too and we messed with food to rude people.
"Blue car? Nah, I drive a green one I'm sure." And then don't tell her that you are color blind
I was just giving her some frozen food that she wanted and say this is what we have and that would have been the safer route from lawsuit.
Story 3: oww, I recently tore my MCL. Not completely off thankfully and even that was agony. Can’t imagine what happened to OP
Thanks to Reddit teaching me stuff as a teen, I and my bf have sworn to never, ever, EVER move to an HOA neighborhood, as well as establish one in our own under any circumstances. No exceptions. I refuse to allow any HOA to have the authority to tell me what i can and cannot do in my own yard/house.
"Make me something," is what she said...
For the first story, I worked in every fast food restaurant in my town when I was a teenager and my first year of college.
I was fired from them all too.
Because when I got jerk entitled customers, I did FAR worse to them.
If you want to know what I did to who I to this day call "The Chili Lady" that used to come to Wendy's, just ask.
They never proved I did anything, but fired me anyway for "suspicion of mischief."
Story 1. I would have let her sit there, turned the volume down, locked the doors, completed closing, and when it was time to leave walked by and waved bye..
Last story I'd make comments about Karen failing kindergarden and never learning staying in lines.
If I was OP Id sue Karen for medical costs...and even the store. the workplace caused the initial injury and they hired psycho karen.
She said the company paid her compensation. In the UK there are no medical costs, although she could make them pay for her to have private treatment in the recovery phase, like for physio. In situations like this it is a workplace incident so the supermarket chain is held responsible for the Karen's behaviour, and who do you think has more money, an unemployed about to be divorced Karen or the supermarket chain? I would however have reported her to the police for the assault to see if she could be prosecuted.
Story 1: OP did nothing wrong. The cook, on the other hand...
The cook is a Chad😂
Yay! Darkfluff to the rescue!
Well,she did get served.
Story 2: honestly, people who think they can make money just by owning things suck.
