The last time I had a customer complain that the extra hot coffee was l"uke warm at best", I instructed them to prove it, by chugging down the drink in a single go, or they can admit the truth. Most asked me if I'm insane, but were forced to admit they were lying. A few were stupid enough to try, but ended up burning themselves and spilling it all over their clothes. If they had succeeded, then I would have happily made them a replacement drink that was even hotter, but none did.
Haha nice
I love you!!!!!!!
I love this. A lose-lose situation for liars and possibly humiliation.
You can make a hot coffee even hotter than the usual.
Add super hot chili.
It'll burn your mouth even if it's ice chilled.
Gold!
Office girl story: NEVER ASSUME you're senior to any employee walking in the door dressed casually. You're likely to find out your fired if you respond with an attitude.
I would say that the more casual they are, the more likely it is that they are senior management!
@@pauljackson1944 Agreed!
I got promoted once after going "above & beyond " for a man I thought to be an ordinary customer. Turned out that he was the President of our company!
Especially if you're new...
You said that right. There's some millionaire bosses walking around with torn jeans and teeshirts.
The karen in the paint dept.: after carrying on about wanting a man to talk to because a woman wouldn't know anything- OP should have said "I'll need to talk to the man of the house to be sure you buy the product you need- how could a woman know?"
when her husband is about to step in and go "don't be misogynistic honey" lol
I've experienced this and when called for a male, (the only male on duty at time). He listen to her questions and then said he didn't know, and to ask me as I would be best person to ask about paint. I knew the answers to all her questions. Including the science between white and pure brilliant white. She asked I answered. She didn't even want white paint. She was given more than 1 lesson, got everything she needed for her decorating. Had other customers like this male and females. Males can be harder because they don't always like it when you know more than them.
My colleague did have a laugh about it, he genuinely didn't have the answers and was initially confused as to why I had called him to assist.
@joanneblake5483 If anyone knows more than me about something, I'm not getting uppity I'm picking their brain for common pitfalls and ways to do it more effectively/efficiently. Having a huge ego about things rarely pays off outside of a highly competitive environment and even then it needs to be tempered.
As a barista I HATED people that asked for their coffee/milk extra hot. Anything above 70C and the milk begins to break down as it approaches boiling point for milk, it looses texture and will end up souring.
Why? We boil our milk always. Yeah, we get the cream layer on top. The milk never sours and it tastes great with tea, along with the cream of course.
I never understood why people NEED to take boiling beverages anyways. I, for one, cannot drink/eat anything too hot or else my mouth roof WILL burn, and isn't just a mild burn either. Painful, blistering that then pop and the skin hangs loose on the roof on the mouth, while the new skin grows in, painful AND gross
What kind of milk are you using? I've never found milk souring when accidentally heating it too much. It rather becomes a bit sweeter.
Ok but who needs it that hot to drink it forget the sour milk for a second lol like… why extra hot what are you doing to your esophagus
@@samantha8268 I need it boiling hot.
I even boil them for 15 minutes to thicken the milk or make the tea more dark.
True story. I'm a machinist working for a large global company. I'm machining some parts and I see a guy walking by and he just looks lost. I ask the guy "Hey you look lost you need help?" It's a huge building I figure that's what's up. He says "Yeah I'm looking for meeting room 3" I tell him "Let me finish this cut and I'll walk you over there" he says "Cool." I safe the machine and walk him across the plant he says he's just transferred from European operations. We chat a bit, it's a 10 minute walk. I deliver him to the meeting and it has the plant manager ,my boss, my bosses boss. 5 or 6 department heads. You get the idea. Turns out it's the new CEO. For the entire company. When ever I see him he comes over and chats for a bit. Super nice dude.
This is a great reminder to treat everyone well.
The last Karen fired herself. Modern conveniences never cease to amaze. I suppose next they'll come up a Karen who hauls herself off to jail.
If she hadn't fired herself, CEO would have obliged.
@@lancerevell5979 As a manager myself I wouldn't have fired her but I would have given her a stern lecture on how to treat anyone coming into the office.
No, she was still fired. Because unless she submitted a resignation, the business would have had to terminate her employment for non-availability.
Ghosting and formally resigning are two separate things entirely.
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the manager learned that the supposed BRAT child was actually the owner's son and the woman who is supposedly his mom was actually aunty and part owner I pray those two found a better fitting manager then that Karen they had hired
"You're fired!" "You can't fire me, I quit!"
OMG! She made the kid cry! Ghosting that job was definitely the way to go. I just honestly can’t comprehend behaving the way she did.
To paraphrase something Dark Fluff once said, she 'Noped' her way out of that place! :-D
@@dinascharnhorst6590 hu7 j.g stihl ttb 9PM
Don't you love it when the trash takes itself out?
@@netgnostic1627 oh yes it makes everyone else’s jobs soooo much easier 😂
I think people get stuck on power trips. That can be ok. The problem is when you're being overly rude.
People: "How do you keep topping yourself like that??? DarkFluff: "I don't have to, Karen is constantly topping herself!"
I believe that is physically impossible
lol jk 😁
Old story
Bravo. Well said! 🎉🥂🥂🎉
No wonder she’s a Karen. Usually a partner makes that better
that's impressive lol
Worked in a coffee shop, first customer was definitely trying to get a free coffee
Last one, they dodged a bullet with that Karen, if she treated the partner and his kidling like that, you know she's' been doing the same to everyone else. Too bad she didn't use them as a reference, that woman is going to be toxic no matter where she works.
Would love to know how she explained the reason she left her last job when she filed for unemployment .... or I should say IF she filed for unemployment.
@@tinydancer7426 I don't think you can file for unemployment if you quit.
@@fluffymonster396 Yeah, you can file for unemployment ...... doesn't mean you will collect. But, you can fill out the paperwork and turn it in, thus file. Lots and lots of people file and get turned down.
My guess is that woman is a job hopper, never remaining long at any place of employment.
Story 3: The bank should have turned over the recording to the police anyway, and had him charged with threatening not only OP but all of the other bank staff.
You are totally right.
watch, maybe; but threatening isn't illegal?
maybe it is...?
@@captainpolar2343 terroristic threats are illegal, but I don't think any prosecutor would press charges on this sort of thing. It would be impossible to prove that he intended to act on anything he said unless he showed up at a bank location and acted unhinged. It's the sort of charge that gets added on to other charges.
...threatening? ...you do realize that's not a crime right.....laws in America are weird...and telling someone to off themselves doesn't count as a threat...now if it's a federal employees....and you threaten them...as in say you will cause them some sort of harm...yea that's a threat and a actual crime....infact threatening a federal employee is a Felony...😬
Threatening to sue someone is not a crime
It sounds like the embarrassment was far too much for the Karen handle so she quit and ghosted the company.
Someone with class would not have been rude to begin with, then apologized for her mistake and laugh about it afterwards.
@@luisespinoza8391 Yep. She could have been confused about who the person was but been kind and professional with them, anyway. Had she not interrupted, she would have found out pretty quickly who that was.
"I know the owner."
"I want to speak to the manager."
"I'm going to sue you!"
"You are so fired!"
The siren calls of the wild Karen.
For the book bag thing, I really thought she was gonna just walk over him. Like full on stand on her seat and then walk across his lap because he wanted to be dumb lol
I’ve actually seen it done!!!
@@debbiethomas2622 perfect, now I know it's something I can get away with if I'm put in this situation lol
That was my first thought as to what I would do in such a situation. My next would have been to drop the bag on his crotch. Both options would have satisfying to me...but OP's solution was *perfect*!
Thanks for giving me the idea!
@@katalinapedroza3396 happy to help lol
I had a somewhat similar expierence of the last girl. I got a job as the warehouse manager and on a Saturday an older man wearing worn out western clothes driving an older Ford pickup and said he was dropping off some scaffolding. I helped with unloading the stuff and when we finished I offered to buy him a soft drink witch he took my offer. The next Monday my boss showed up and told me the owner really took a liking to me. I told him I've never met him, he laughed and ask if I remembered the old guy in cowboy clothes driving a beat up Pickup, that was him.
Story 1: And you just know if the coffee was too hot, the customer would've whined about that too. There's no pleasing some people.
Story 2: Creepy guy deserved the loaded backpack to the face. Maybe a few more of those and he'll pretend to be a decent person in public.
Story 3: More proof that customer service jobs are a great way to make people hate the public. Also, another special little scumbag trying to get out of paying what they owe and probably running up costs for those of us who don't suck. Fire your bad customers, people, they are not worth the trouble.
Story 4: Idiot customer has never heard of female managers, apparently.
Story 5: Good manners cost nothing, but bad manners can cost plenty.
Here's your cup of super heated steam, karen. *Now, drink it.*
Absolutely.
@J Smith. Actually I would think she would sue if the coffee was too hot and she got burned. It has happened before, a few times. I'm surprised they even heated the coffee hotter for her in the first place.
Well, I have as much creep stories as any woman on earth, but the creep in the story sounded incredibly stupid to me. I mean, leaving the family jewels wide-open for injury like that, and then expecting not to be harmed in retaliation to your harassment? What an idiot. This is why I usually sit on the outer seat if I have my bag in the seat next to me, though: this way, I'll have a clear way out of the situation if someone gets handsy with me. It also has two added bonuses: people are less likely to ask to sit next to you in the first place, and as long as you keep in physical contact with your bag? This makes your bag harder to steal as well.
You know what is even more insane about that 4th story? It's a FEMALE customer complaining about a FEMALE manager. Like what the heck lady? You're that entitled that you are not letting other women express their freedom?
The book bag story. Yeah I would've faked falling raming it into his croch then jumped up smacking said bag into his face. Then I would've looked saying "Oh I'm sorry. Had you moved. I would've not falled onto you smacking you with my bag."
I would have pretended to trip over his foot or leg, slamming the bag into his nads as I "fell" before straightening again as I walked by. Those types of guys don't learn until something like that happens, and in a big crowd as well.
For added f you factor, do it by pretending to trip over his overstretched legs
@@MsAnimaltamer yeah something like that that reminds him for a few days. Teach him so that he doesn't do that every again.
@@justinthompson6364 Oh definitely. "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes." As is the quote that sums up just about every situation these people cause.
yea because buses are rocky vehicles...they aren't exactly a smooth ride
I worked in a call center for a financial institution for around 9 years and that call center story is sweet sweet justice. We even had someone just as horrible, and we had to force him to close his account and ban him because of how awful and threatening he was.
(when someone accidently bumps in Karen)
Karen: Assault! I want them arrested....fired....Ill sue them so hard their descendents will be in debt
(same Karen when she viscously attacks some)
Karen: What....since when does attacking someone illegal?
Well, there's a video of a Karen calling the cops on a 9 year old black boy that supposedly had : s3xually assaulted her in the store. CCTV shows it was the boy's backpack that touched her.
Sounds accurate
That last one, oh my goodness. I would have fired her on the spot. No way does anybody get to treat employees that way.
Best thing is he STILL had to pay the $30 in interest and then $2000 to pay that $30.
That last story had me rolling. When I worked security, I used to see it a lot with new hires on office staff. When they found out the who's who, the looks were priceless. I'd get to escort the ones out with the attitude that OG had. 😎
The boss from the first story is the perfect example of chaotic neutral
I had a friend that worked at a place that served soups. A karen complains the soup wasn't hot enough, this Karen was notorious for complaints. My friend heated her soup to 280 degrees then gave it back to her. That Karen never complained again
So... how does the most basic office job go to someone's head like that?
"She then said she wanted to get a MAN out here so she could be helped by someone other than a stupid little girl."
Did...did she just employ sexism against her own gender?
I mean I suspected there were some people that did that but wtf? How do you accuse someone of being dumber than you while at the same time implying that you believe you're ALSO stupid?
Story 2: I think that guy was a creep, OP gave him Karma
About the last story... LOL. Seriously, first week in the office, and you talk like that to people you don't know? Karen got exactly what she deserved.
Bold move to threaten to sue someone when you don’t have a bank account anymore.
Story 3: My daughter used to work for a call center. I believe she had a situation exactly like this one time, an abusive and entitled customer who pulled the "cancel my service" threat one time too often and she had the pleasure of doing exactly as OP did in the story. It was one of the very few moments in that job that she remembers fondly. Otherwise, she couldn't wait to quit. You have to have a thick skin to work that kind of job and my daughter is a sensitive soul. She's a full time mom now and she is GREAT at that.
The husband laughed out loud because he most likely had been in more hardware stores than the wife and KNEW that being a store, woman were also competent managers. The wife is the one who, thinking hardware is a man's occupation, must only be run by men.
I've worked construction for decades before becoming an engineer and saw that women are just as competent as men in the trades, but I must admit, when it comes to welding... women are born naturals to welding and there is something about women welders that put men to shame. Remember that if ever you need a welder and see it is a woman who shows up to do the work. You will get pristine welds that are second-to-none!
i work in construction starting as a drywaller and now directly for a GC and female tapers are hands down some of the best tapers i have ever seen. i would take 5 female tapers over 15 male tapers any day
Wish it was just hardware stores any store people go into they seem to want to head towards the man working there as if he is in charge.
@@sicilianboy27 I just wish more women would be encouraged to give skilled trades a try. The pay is good. Good pay for a good day of work... and one doesn't get bogged down under a mountain of college debt, either. My engineering degree was paid for by my employer.
I bet the husband got an earful in the drive to the next store.
Whereas men are WAY better at designing women's dresses.
Go figure.
I too totally thought the book bag was going to make him a soprano, deservedly so.
Story 2...OP should have shouted to the driver that she still needed to get off at her stop. SOURCE: Very experienced bus passenger. Heck I knew that after 2 weeks of taking the bus 🚌
Story 3: Kudos to OP's professional malicice compliance and recorded the phone call. Brilliant. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The story about the perv on the bus reminded me about a very similar situation I saw when I was attending trade school in a bigger city in about 1990 and was using public transit to get around. A jerk on the bus did the EXACT same thing to a pretty gal that was going to be same school I was but for a different trade. His actions towards her infuriated many of us but it was a different lady (Sheila) who I knew on the bus who took ultimate revenge on him with the bus drivers assistance. As the pretty gal got off the bus, and the bus started moving, Sheila started waddling her way forward as her stop was the one after the next, and when she got right next to the jerk she winked at the driver who happened to be her uncle as he looked in the mirror and he purposely hit a huge pot hole and on cue Sheila “fell” onto the jerks lap. Mind you the seats on these busses were unpadded hard fiberglass and Sheila weighed about an honest 450 lbs so when she “fell” the jerks legs and lap had no escape from the onslaught that befell him and since back then there were no cameras on the transit busses and nobody else on the bus could stand the jerk the snapping sound followed by his screams of pain weren’t noticed by anyone as his leg broke under the sudden weight falling on it and the edge of the seat. His complaint to the transit authority and his attempt at a lawsuit failed because there were no witnesses who would back up his claim and everyone said he had a bad limp when he had gotten on the bus so was obviously hurt before then and everyone agreed that Sheila had not fallen on him nor had she been out of her seat while the bus was moving and nobody had witnessed her telling him that it was disgusting how he had treated that pretty gal. Sadly Sheila passed away about a year later. According to others Her weight problem was due to a thyroid problem caused by an inoperable tumor and she herself had been a petite pretty woman just a couple years before.
This is actually something I would WISH had video so I can see it!😂 Good on that girl for getting him back! Score one for the ladies! Pity she passed away so soon!😢
@@elteescat The Alt-Right is damn-crazy right-now,
just like Karens.
Hope you all know Telltale Atheist, who warns you every single time a crazy
Karen or flat-Earther or Qanon runs for Office?
I mean: Every time.
Story 1: having spent 7 years as a barista... I have dealt with too many of these customers, my own mother included. I always got the manager to deal with them as they wound me up too much.
I wonder whether she was on a power trip, or trying to scam compensation.
My brother always tries the same crap. He took my parents out to eat at Red Lobster, found out the chairs tip over if you overload the backrest with coats (duh), and raised hell until the manager gave him everyone's meal for free!
From story 1: I would have just said "if you don't like it you can leave. You can also tell all you want. I promise it won't hurt my business". From story 3: If that was me and that earned me a write up. I would have gladly signed it". From story 5: That is why it pays to be nice to everyone. You never know that person may be your boss.
I was expecting a bag crotch drop also. Yes as a former Senior CSR, that bank story super satisfying. That last one golden🤣
Okay why would you walk up to someone you don't even know and claim to be the manager when you knew you don't know if the person's the boss or actually the manager or the district manager that was a dumb move and actually I'm glad that Karen got put in a place when the kids father walked in and realized she just insulted one of her bosses
Seems when they hired her, they wanted her to file, do computer, office type work. NOT be the office manager. Seems she decided to take on that roll all by herself. She still shouldn't have spoken as she did or assumed kids weren't allowed. When you're new, assume you know nothing until you know everything about how a place works.
I was a waitress for years and brought a steaming cup of tea out only to be told it was cold when I brought it...I served it as hot as I was legally allowed. My boss apologized anyway n told her that's as hot as it will get. After 15yrs in I kinda hate ppl...
Karen complaining about the milk wanted to be disciplined. After she was metaphorically spanked, she calmed down, sat down, and drank her coffee peacefully without another word.
Some people are just arseholes. Not happy unless berating an employee. She got her commuppance. Had I been the owner/manager, she'd have been banned.
@@lancerevell5979 I'm thinking you missed the BDSM side on their comment...
@@lancerevell5979 If she was complaining about the 80C coffee being too cold, I'd "accidentally" spill the cup onto her arm while retrieving the cup from her. Huh, your arm now has second/third degree burns. Are you sure you want it hotter? (note: I don't work in hospitality for a reason)
@@benwagner5089 yeah, im the same. I cant deal with stupid people aka karens. Nothing wrong with asking questions or help. Its wrong to be a karen
@@Serene80 but I caught it and laugh so hard omg its great
Something similar to the last story happened to my dad. He was just 40 and he already owned an insurance company in Colombia. He was traveling through the country and stopped by one of the the branches in another city. He goes to talk to the secretary so she could inform the branch manager that he was there. She first told my dad that the manager was busy and without an appointment he would not receive my dad. Then proceeded to tell him that it is bad manners for him to put his briefcase on top of her desk. My dad tells me he tried to tell her he was the owner of the company but she was having none of it. He tells me that at that moment the branch manager walks out of his office and immediately goes to say hi to my dad and introduces him to the secretary hat by now is totally apologetic. My dad simply told her that that is not the way to treat anyone and that she should be kind and helpful towards anyone who comes to the office not just him that is the owner. They didn’t fire her but they did talk to her.
If Bank Chad was getting all these interest charges and fees excused, he was a net loss for the bank and they were better off without this mook.
Yup. That's exactly why CR probably said not to authorize retention.
OG: Isnt it fascinating that there are folks that will try to look as if important enough to run things after a few hours on a job? Not knowing who anybody is but try to fake themselves through. Appropriate that she fired herself.
First story: not only was ups he get the face smash with the backpack, I would “accidentally” stumble backwards for my backpack would hover but not touch) lower in his “neither region!”
Second story: not only did he burn the bridge with that bank, he’s going to have a hard time getting any other account with a bank as banks have their own reporting systems that they refer to when considering new customers!
Last story: did she last the rest of the day or did she go to “lunch” and never came back!
Story 1: After 26 years in the food service industry I'm pretty sure some people just show up to be butt munches to the staff because they think they can get away with it.
In C1 English class my teacher told me, in America, if the customer is unhappy, he will complain loudly. In the UK (and IMO here in Germany as well), they just say "Thank you it was great" and never come back.
Let me set the scene for you. I am in a bookstore, arranging books on the shelves and on the displays. This is the Prehistoric Age before Karen's were a thing. Nevertheless, this woman walks in, groom to the nines. I forget whether her haircut was the uniform haircut of the modern Karen. I smile at her and say hello I will be right with you. Feel free to look around. This triggers off an attitude similar to the volcano Krakatoa erupting. Apparently I was supposed to drop everything including the double handful of books that I was arranging. And prostrate myself at her feet. Happy for an opportunity to serve her Supreme insanity. She spends almost 5 minutes, telling me what an incompetent worker I am. Touching briefly upon my ancestry and probable sexual habits. And ending with the Battle Cry of the Karen. I want to speak to the manager. I go over to the cash register phone. Teresa, we have a woman out here who insists upon speaking to the manager. Teresa takes a few minutes as she was eating lunch in the back room. This woman launches upon a psychotic diatribe. And accuses me of crimes I did not commit although I do admit that I was seriously tempted. And demanding that the manager fire me at once. Teresa looked over at me and look back to her. Her mouth Twisted in a sarcastic smirk. Oh woman! I have had fantasies, late at night in my bed, of firing this man. But since he's the actual owner of the bookstore I just can't do that.
Delicious
Not "feel free to look around". It's " How may I help you, Miss?".
Wonderfully worded, so funny, and how enjoyable to read!!
Title: Smug Karen pretends to be the boss
Me: Karens will come up with all different types of stories 🤦♂️
That last Karen was promoted to customer!😆😆😆
You can tell that the husband loves his wife but knows he can’t exactly step in because he doesn’t want to sleep on the couch but also loves when other people make her look like a fool 🤣
Regarding Story #3, that customer has not learned this simple truth: All Actions have Consequences. Choose, therefore, to do only those Actions that result in the Consequences you want. This, especially, speaks to Equanimity!
Story 1: The Karen was probably looking for a lawsuit. There is more than one reason why coffee places don't heat coffee above certain temperatures. One is to keep the milk from curdling. Another is to keep people from burning themselves. Asking for extra hot coffee and then complaining that it wasn't hot enough when it was nearing boiling tells me that is what she was attempting. The reaction of the manager told her they were a no nonsense type of person so she backed off. And yes, those people do tend to target new employees since they are more likely to fall for the trap just like any other scam.
Story 2: Creeps like that deserve any pain they get from their predatory actions.
Story 3: Prime example of play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Story 4: I have seen this play out before especially when it comes to hardware stores and mechanics. There is unfortunately still an attitude that those are male oriented fields of knowledge and sometimes it is easier to do what OP did and just hand it over to a less knowledgeable person who can act as a intermediate.
Story 5:: I've heard that one before and it always reminds me to never assume anything. The boss isn't always dressed for work and treating people like dirt can backfire easily. At least OG had the decency to not put them down as a reference, but them again treating a owner like that wouldn't exactly make for the best reference either.
someone else had the idea to make them chug the first cup, and if it wasn't hot enough he would make another for free.
That Karen in the paint department... I suspect he husband was waiting for someone to take her down a peg or two...
Personally when I worked at a call center my favorite calls were from people screaming at me. I even got commended from my supervisor for my handling of the situations. What she didn't know was I found the whole calls so funny I muted my own mic to laugh hysterically so I could stone face ask the next questions on the list, making the people go even more apeshit. The other hilarious part is these people would be so pissed they don't even think of doing things like asking to be placed on the "do not call list" or the OBVIOUS hanging up their own phones
I work in customer service and the bank story makes me laugh. People spend more time not paying than actually just paying things they agreed to. BTW please read terms and conditions because if you sign without reading, you are still bound by your signature.
I hope the backpack had a lot of zippers, scratchy velcro or some other buckles on it that made it even more scratchy to his guy's face.
I dress the same as all my employees on shift. I'm standing right nearby, I've got good hearing, and I can read my people's mood. I know EXACTLY how you treated them on the phone/register before I took over. Couple times I've pulled a cash refund from the drawer, literally chucked it at a Karen, and said *"We're done. Get out now."* Nobody has yet tried to argue past that point in person. They're a lot braver on the phone. Hanging up on them is quite satisfying.
If I was the woman on the bus I would have called up to the bus driver. Hey bus driver, this guy won't let me get past him. Call the cops.
Many years ago I worked for a well known bank in a busy large city. There was escalating fraud going on so the bank cracked down on cashing checks "without recourse" what that means is that if the check was not written on our bank so that we could verify funds before cashing it, the customer presenting the check would need to have the funds in their account to cover it. The alternative was to take the check to the bank on which it was written and cash it there. So, on to the story. Its a Friday afternoon, pay day for many people, and a man comes in with a paycheck written on a bank about a mile down the street. I look in his account and he has 10 cents in his account. I check his history and he's never had none than 10.00 in his account at any given time. I think he kept the account just to cash his paycheck. He never deposited it. So I explain that unfortunately we would be unable to negotiate the transaction and his choices were to either deposit the check in to his account, give it a day or 2 to clear the other bank, or present it to the other bank which was about a mile down the road. Well, as you can guess, he went ballistic, threatening to close his account, at which time my bank manager, who had been watching the whole thing, handed him a dime and said there you go, your account is closed, have a good day. My manager, had, indeed, closed his account. The guy went crazy and we had to call the police to have him escorted out. Good times.
Last story:
She's power-tripping so hard.... she tripped herself hard on her own power.
Lmao, story 5 should’ve had doom music the minute the CEO showed up
Wow, now that puts unreasonable customers in their places.
I used to work in the electronics department of a military department store. We have mostly American customers but we also have customers from all over the world. So we get a lot of international Karens and Kevins bringing with them cultural biases, too. It's all the same either way. It just means that it happens a LOT. What they didn't understand was that not only have I worked in several electronics stores and departments, I was an electronics technician in the US Navy. That didn't make me particularly an expert tvs computers and cameras, but it did give me technical knowledge and vocabulary that made a big difference. I couldn't tell you how many times I've had a customer ask me a question, didn't like my answer, go get a male employee who brought them right back to me for the answer. I loved it!
Hot coffee. Get a thermometer. Put up a sign that says "For Insurance reasons and scammers no coffee will be sold over a certain temp".
That last story.. lol embarrassed herself to the point where she just never came back. Gotta love it when the trash takes itself out.
This has been my go to since around 2002 or so. I was 19 & AT&T was my cell provider. They were terrible!!! I know the people that answer customer complaint calls don’t get paid enough, and don’t have the authority to do much. Now most of my calls are to my health insurance provider, and pharmacies. When I get through to the front line workers I simply say, they don’t pay you enough to deal with pissed off me, I would like to talk to someone that is. It’s been working for 20yrs!
~10 years ago I caught an already grouchy female barista trying to piss in my coffee, that was a hoot. She was squatting behind the counter, acting like she was getting something, but I could see what she was doing in one of the mirrors. Why? She claimed she mistook me for some other customer who frequently hits on her and requests nasty names on his callout for his orders (I'd never seen her before in my entire life, because I'd never been in that shop before). The manager fired her on the spot, gave me a fistful of gift certificates, and begged me not to report it to corporate. I was like, "Hey, as far as I';m concerned, you did your job, she's gone, and I have no beef with you." However, I used those certificates at a different shop in that chain and have never been back to that specific place, and probably never will, because his hiring practices leave much to be desired.
Some people's lives are so bad
That the only way they feel good
Is to make others feel bad
I call these people
Negative people..
Best thing to do is to eliminate them from your lives.. Perminently
Malicious compliance is my absolute favorite subreddit
I bet this Karen will learn her lesson after this mess
Second story: OP should have “accidentally” dropped the backpack right on his crotch. Third story was absolutely glorious! A very expensive lesson in how to treat others.
I was spraying hot spots on the newly aerated greens at my golf course. My superintendent was with me as he was checking to make sure the drag had gone well (make a bunch of holes in the green, spread sand and drag it in- the drag) and a guy who was on the tee box of this par 5 marathons his group to get within chipping distance while we are on the green. Sand had gotten into the hose quick connect and my super was trying to get the end into it, the guy hits into us, the ball hits my house and goes rolling back down the rather impressive hill on this green. My super says,"was that a ball?" Yup, and he goes back to getting the end in the connect when the guy who just got into me comes up the hill and starts yelling at me, ruining his shot at birdie and I was looking at him when out of the corner of my eye I see my super kick the key which clears the sand blockage AND makes the 2 foot of hose in front of where I'm holding it, twitch. Now there's this moment where I'm shocked, the raiving looney in front of me stops midsentance and a 2 inch hose of medium pressure water hits him in the chest as I jerk the steam to the side. Golfer just turned around and went back down the hill, my super yells, "see you at 13" and I finish my job, store my hose, look over the hill and tell "clear!". And get it off there. Halfway to 13 I come up on my super in the woods laughing his ass off. The golfer was a regular. Couple weeks later he came up on me as I was about neck deep in a hole fixing a leaky valve, covered in mud. He apologized for yelling, he had put money on the hole and didn't see we were still on it. "Sure" and was sorry that I had to be in such a terrible like job for it. "Terrible job for it? Nah, that was just an unfortunate incident. This, this is Tuesday and the packing but on this valve decided to leak. All part of the job." Oh, okay then, sorry about the other day then. I thanked him. The three times I was nailed with golf balls? Never got apologized to for those.
Some people are hellbent to be upset, some do try to scam
Hospitality is a BRUTAL industry.
Story 3 - "He also accused us of discrimination!" - Yup.
My dad was good with malicious compliance and petty revenge. If we were grocery shopping and he ran across a Karen he would wait until nobody else was around but them and fart really loud then call them out on it and embarrass them in the store.
Haha.. i loved that thehysban just laughed at his wife. And that last one... hilarious!!
NEVER assume you know who someone is at a new job...ever;)
Nice, just in time to watch while I get ready to go to work & deal with my own Karens lol
Story 4 I loved how the Karen's hubby laugh n op treated her worker to lunch.
At the end of this I couldn’t help the picture of her standing in front of a mirror saying you’re fired😁
Yo the last story......i was NOT expecting that 😭😭😭👏👏 When her nephew called the ceo daddy i was shooketh to the core
At least the Karen at the end had some sense of shame since she never went back xD Maybe it was a big enough shock to make her less of a Karen in the future
19:30 yeah I’m guessing the reason she didn’t show up after that day was the fact that this woman literally bad mouthed the sister of the CEO and his son, which more than likely made her 💩 a brick and she was terrified of coming back
Yes the 5 gal paint primer... It's great that the husband got a laugh. Bet the wifey felt dumb afterwards
I'm so glad Darkfluff uses the images of these Karens as background of thier videos to humiliate these Karens & put them in their place. Thanks, Darkfluff!
Well, wish me luck everyone. After several years of heart procedures and other health issues I’ve found it necessary to take a job in retail. So far everybody, who all know I’m new, has been great - even if I have to call someone to help me figure out how I oopsed on the register. Even on this lovely and busy holiday weekend. However my manager gave an evil laugh when describing what Christmas gets like. 🤨
The Alt-Right is damn-crazy right-now,
just like Karens.
Hope you all know Telltale Atheist, who warns you every single time a crazy
Karen or flat-Earther or Qanon runs for Office?
I mean: Every time.
I’ve been the owner and bumped into Karen’s who didn’t know it. Always a good time. I would go “get the manager@ by walking around the corner and coming back with a huge smile.
Story five: That woman wanted to crawl into a hole and bury herself alive. She disrespected the CEO's business partner and sister, as well as his child. What a horrible first impression. 🤦🏾♀️
No sympathy. It doesn't matter WHO she was abusing, she was still abusing people.
@@BloodrealmX Exactly why I facepalmed. I doubt she wants to go back after that. :')
Last story , weather Op.was the boss or not that Karen shouldn't be allowed to speak to anyone that way !
The Karen learned who is real owner of this business, land, and private property, and did not like the consequences!
Coffee Karen got really peed on by that killer boss!
When I was 16 i went with my mother who only yelled at customer service people to make a complaint at the phone company. During one sentence I heard my mother's voice going from screaming to calm. In the middle of the sentence!!! I thought, oh my gosh, that lady made her do that. So, I made it my life to play a game with every yelling customer I got to calm them down. It was fun. I felt so accomplished!! lol All customers want to know is that You Hear their problem and You are going to Fix it!! They are yelling at the problem not you.
A self-terminating Karen... priceless!
honestly that girl shouldve shouldered the back pack at the right height then swung it in his face/nose first then clumsily scrape past him while apologizing all the time. "sorry, its so annoying that these bus seats are so close together. not much leg room, dont you agree? have a good day!"
First story: No, Fluff, you're not reaching at all.
I do feel a bit sorry for OP, though, because we all know (he or she) had to clean up that mess.
I've heard the "office manager" story a few times before, and I love it, every time!
The call center one, I feel that so much. When I hear that "I've waited so long to talk to you! Why did I have to wait so long?? This is ridiculous!" I just kind of sit there and say "sorry. How can I help you?"
Stories like the third one are unfortunately common, lots of people out there that discover all they have to do is threaten to take their business elsewhere and management will fall all over themselves to appease them. No matter how often they pull this shit, or how horrible they treat the employees. No incentive for them to stop either since they keep getting rewarded for it.
Worked in a super market bakery for 14 years, and this one family always ordered a full sheet cake every year. And like clock work every year they'd come back with maybe a corner and a bit of cake left and demand their money back for some stupid reason or another ( oddly enough, the problems they listed never stopped them from eating most or all of the cake ) and yet every year management refunded their money and in some cases even gave them coupons and vouchers...fucking insane.
