That 3rd story... Years back, just before Disneyland Shanghai opened, I read an article that the park released an etiquette guideline for their guests just after the soft opening. One of the rules was that guests couldn't lay down on the floor. The author of the article pretty much said that was an unnecessary rule, since, according to them, only little kids would do that, and that it was weird that they would make such a rule, which is understandable if you didn't know the context. Welp! Now I know the answer as to why they made that rule!
I don't understand why the pastor would chew him out for nor being a Good Samaritan. I don't generally have an inclination to help someone when they act the way she did, and any stranger getting so close I can feel their breath on my neck is likely going to address the floor with their butt.
As a former customer service person, I would like to award the lady in the first story the Purple Heart of customer service heroism. Op completely deserves some kind of award or key to the city or something!
I'm told I can be very intimidating sometimes. I'm not tall or buff but my father raised me and he never took any guff. I would have stepped right up in that hag's grill and explained she was one reason I quit that job, that everyone there hated her toxicity and if she touched me again I would touch back HARD. You have to stand up to bullies, they will never stop otherwise. Of course retail workers are constrained, but other customers could help. About ten other folks and I literally booed a Karen out of Dollar General once.
@@bcaye Yes. Not the same situation, but I was terminated from my last job for catching a supervisor lying and then trying to deflect the blame of his failures to my crew. I called him out on it. Turns out though, I discovered something about the sup. and the HR director. They were both in the closet, and dating. I called them out on it, and informed everyone in the building.
Absolutely loved story 1. Great way to deal with a Karen. Embarrass them asking for lubes and such. The last story was very precious. That daughter has found her niche if she ever needs a job when she gets older.
I, fortunately have only ran across a few Karen's in my 55 years of life. Fortunately, I have had someone with me who can tell me "No". I'm not much for talking to aggressive people, if you know what I mean.
Story 4: Wow! OP's daughter is frickin' AWESOME! That store had better hire her quick...she's going to be heck-on-wheels and a great asset to the sales crew :D
Last story: smart and spunky kids are a whole different kind of exhausting. It’s in a good way, but the out-of-the-box thinking and endless ideas are a bit of a double edged sword. They’re not exactly easy to deal with, but they’re definitely very worth it.
@@curtisfranzen986 I know a couple people like that. It's simply amazing. As one of my friends say, when you have bright kids, the most important part is to teach them to use their powers for good.
Dont I know it, have 3 kids like that of my own, and yes they come up with the most creative solutions to problems, not always good ones, but creative.
@@philopharynx7910 Both my daughters are gifted when it comes to animals. Liz, 25, rescued a 70lbs Pit Bull literally off the streets of Tulsa OK. Liz saw the dog laying there, jumped out of the car with a bottle of water, gave the dog water while gently petting. I did mention that Liz RAN UP TO a 70lbs strange PIT BULL!! Liz invited the dog into the car, and went to the Wendy's just down the street and bought some chicken nuggets. Maybe not the healthiest food for a dog, but Liz doesn't ride around with an emergency stash of Pro Plan in the car. Fortunately, Liz works at a shelter, so that is the next stop. Upon getting the dog to the shelter, a friend volunteered his belt as a makeshift lead. They take the dog into the shelter. The dog is examined. Liz stayed with the dog the entire time. Turns out, the dog is a female, and is pregnant. Liz told me that the dog was probably about 1 day from dying. Also, the dog is pregnant. Already story is too long. Push/ shove. The dog's name is Cookie now. Liz adopted her, but for reasons, was unable to keep her. So now I have a 70lbs abused, neglected, abandoned, and subsiquently rescued Pit Bull in my home. Her name is Cookie. She is a wonderful dog who's favorite activities include cuddling and receiving belly rubs. Cookie has become Momma's dog, gently plays with our grandson, and is the most loving animal I've ever been even near. When Momma gets home, Cookie lays at her feet.
That last story is just absolutely adorable. OP's daughter sounds pretty smart for her age and I'm sure she's gonna grow up to be a very successful adult. Children's minds are like sponges. They'll easily learn anything from either their own family, something they saw on tv, and/or so on and they'll remember it when they've reached adulthood.
@@musicloverme3993 Yeah 'plumbing' is definately a language in its own right. My older brother was a fully trained plumber, and when he was onsite, it sounded like he was speaking Martian! 😂
The woman in the first story is an absolute genius If I ever run to a Karen that accuses me of working at a specific store (that I of course don't work at) I'm going to do that, with the entitled attitude onto them and see how they like it LOL 😂
Ive seen it work before, and it is glorious! Another tactic that ive used personally, make them feel really stupid by using the same approach, but asking for things that are super technical.
So, let me get this straight - someone can harass and bully employees, but be allowed back into the store, but the second they harass and bully customers, they're told gtfo? Uh, no. If someone harasses or bullies ANYONE, especially employees, they need to be given the boot and banned. End of story, goodbye, the end.
while yes this is true it never works that way sadly witch is why if i see it happening while im out and about i introduce myself into the argument/confrontation that way a costumer was also being harassed. It works and the employees will love you for doing it.
That first story was priceless. That is one idea that has NEVER occurred to me. So if I'm ever hassled by a Karen in a store, I just need to ask her to bet me something sex related to shut her up. Live & learn.
That kid giving plumbing advice was priceless! And, it's actually usually difficult to find help in a box store - not sure if I would have taken her advice, but I would have listened! 🤣
First story: I have to remember that the next time someone asks me to help them. I wish someone had told the American Karen at Disney "to go back to your country."
Wait...is the bell a real thing?! I had only ever heard stories online of people that rude. I would hope restaurant managers would kick someone out of a restaurant who did that. If I were a customer at a restaurant and someone started ringing a bell, I KNOW I'd ask my server if anything could be done to get them to stop.
@@sherifitzgerald6886 if I saw some jackwagon with a bell in a restaurant, I would have stood up and yelled, "Hey, you! Yeah, you with the bell! If you ring that crap again, that will be the next thing you eat in this restaurant!!!" The best way to humiliate a bully is to call attention to their bullshit.
@@davidharshman7645 Unfortunately yes its a real thing. During my brief run in food service I saw it a few times. They loved their stupid bell til my 6'5 500 pound cook/manager came out and told them to stuff it someplace. Was a great guy, took good care of the servers and staff.
"idiot grabbed my arm" so i turned around quickly, and took her hand in mine, and began to squeeze until i saw tears in her eyes. "so now that you're paying attention, don't ever do that again. "
Wish Id had the courage to do that when some crazy B grabbed the choker I was wearing, AND one of my twin-tails. Sounds like a good idea though, I like that.
@@sparkplug1018 if it happens again, I suggest you turn around and punch them in the throat with your full body momentum and then have them arrested for attempted murder/manslaughter.
I don't ordinarily like precocious kids, but the girl in the last story was amazing! Smart, spunky, and not at all intimidated. The mom should be very proud of her. She's a champ!
4:16 "Some of us have places to be!" I once heard that from a lady while I was waiting in line at the cashier at the supermarket. She has been complaining for quite a bit, annoying everyone, and when she said that line, I just said this out loud: "Trust me, lady: we know you got places to be. No one here wants you out of here than us."
Or in my case, sharing either their medical history, family issues, or both... I’m a medical transportation driver, and no, I don’t ask, but it amazes me that people feel so comfortable with the drivers, even ones that they met for the first time that day.
I'm sure many people will think the last story is fake, but trust me, I have worked with many children over several decades, and some this smart and articulate at age 7 do exist. I have even met a couple of 2 year-old toddlers who were able to communicate perfectly in full sentences better than many adults do...and yes, it blew me away when I first heard them speak to me so plainly and I found it hard to believe they were so young at first. Granted such kids are rare and surprising, but sometimes I do meet one.
Kids are generally as smart as their parents allow them to be(at that age at least). If parents answer questions properly, in detail, and without the refusal to use big words, a kid will retain most, if not all, of the information. Treat kids like they’re too stupid to learn anything, and they won’t learn much of anything. A young child’s brain is a sponge; knowledge is the water it soaks up.
My mother’s a train wreck, so my grandma raised me until I was 5 and stuck with the incubator. She used to be an English teacher and my Nana (her mom) was good at math. I spoke full sentences with proper grammar at 2 and by the time I started kindergarten I was doing math and reading at WAY above my grade level!
Some people are just jaded and miserable. And they look for places like these message boards to spread that misery like an infectious disease! One of their favorite things is to say everything is 'fake'!
@@nancyomalley6286 I agree with you completely. I have had to deal with some of these miserable people who have no respect for anyone. I try to shut them down but they do not quit. They only double down on their negativity.
Yes kids can be shockingly smart. I was a prime example of having college level vocabulary in grade school. Helps my mom talked to me like I was a little adult and not a baby to boot.
The little girl in the last story should have at least gotten a commission for making a sale. I think it's awesome that she has the confidence and knowledge to answer questions and help people the way she did. Love your videos Peace and love to you and your family 💙💚💙💚💙💚
I agree! I would think most parents wouldn’t drop of their child at a part of the store to “organize” it. The world can’t be trusted with kids especially with ones who will won’t hesitate to talk to strangers.
some places its relativity safe. I mean I've left my 8 year old niece in the toy section of my local Walmart to look at camping supply's (maybe 3 or 4 isles between us) she knows if someone enters the isle to either leave that isle and LMK where she is or to come find me when she's done. Yes my 8 year old niece has a phone but she can only call and text like 10 people
Something I hope I remember to do if I'm ever mistaken as an employee: Hold out my hand and ask, "How much are you paying me? If you do THEN you can say that I work here and can in fact fire me."
I don’t think I’ve ever commented here but that last story had me rolling! “Excuse me mom, I’m helping customers” 😂😂 I don’t even care that most of these stories are fake, that one was GOOD!!
As soon as a Karen grabs your hand, shout: "Look! For the last time, I will not have sx with you! I do not care how much you are willing to pay, stop touching me! That is assault!" Then watch what happens. Last Story: I wish I knew who that kid is so I can vote for her when she runs for president.
wow, in having such a crappy day that last story made me laugh and realize that even if there are crappy people around you. There is still light, you just need to look for it.
She doesn’t work there anymore Karen what part of that do you not understand ,she quit because of people like you and the policies of the place she was working. I’m so glad that she doesn’t get to go to that store anymore grabbing people is not cool and either is screaming at them, OP got to tell that Karen off😁
Oh, Fluff! That last story *GLUED* a smile to my face! Utterly adorable. And it's the kind of thing that can give someone with severe depression that "good-feeling" kick. ❤
I work seasonal retail so if I saw something out of place I would fix it, like books on the ground or stuff not hang right. Once I decided to organized DVDS so you saw the titles and not thrown about.
Ive never worked retail but was in restaurants forever lol but I too can't deal with too messy shirts or worse-a shirt/dress/pants on the ground. I always pick it up. I pick up stuff others drop on the floor even in the food aisles. Luckily for me my friend from high school is the manager and always appreciates my efforts. But I do have the reputation of being "your friend who finds rotten/ open/spilled or hidden stuff in the store, is here" ive found a 20lb pork roast behind the shampoo -yogurts behind more shampoo an exploded can of smoked oysters that someone had cracked the tab open to smell it I guess and then hid behind all the other cans. Broken jars of pickles or sauce. You name it. I've been told that its the right thing to do yet I worry they think I'm doing it. I just have super sensitive sense of smell. My freind says I'd rather you find it before it goes completely rancid. But he said he usually just rewinds the surveillance to watch who does it so they can try and keep them out. He knows its not me.
Folding shirts is what I *always* do after I tried one on or picked it up to look at it. And no, I've never worked in retail or anything. It's just that I'm raised to leave the shop not in a mess. The employees have enough to do already. 🙂
I’ve worked retail, but no job that requires folding/fixing stuff like that. I’ve just always fixed things I find in disarray regardless, even as a child . And it wasn’t bc I was raised that way either! My parents were assholes and my mother used to tell me to stop doing that like she was embarrassed by it. She would tell me that I don’t work there and it’s not my job and I would say something like “I don’t have to be an employee to be helpful” or “they have enough crap to worry about.” Some people are just nice!
@@Emeraldwitch30 I haven't worked retail for 30 years and I STILL find myself straightening racks after I've found what I want!! I also still fold my towels and washcloths at home like I did in the store. Some things get pounded into your brain and you just can't let them go. Sure makes me nicer to the retail workers I DO meet, though!
Confidence is a vast proportion of salesmanship and there's very few things more confident than a child that is pretty sure they know what they're doing
Having worked for Publix for almost 10 years, I can tell you that the Customer Service Rules "If you don't like it, we'll make it right", is not only true, but one of the cornerstones of Publix as one of the best Grocery Chains in the Region. That being said, it's been used and abused constantly and brings out Karens like a stirred up anthill. But if you are ever in Florida, you *must* go to Publix and you will see for yourself how awesome this place is.
I'd never shop at a place that allows their employees to be treated like crap and let's nasty customers get away with things. AND I'd never set foot in Florida.
I, unfortunately, live in Florida and can confirm. They also have great subs!! My grandma has been shopping in Publix for the last 30 years and any employee she asks is always happy to help, even if it’s not their department. They’ll do anything she asks with great service. But here’s the thing: she’s not a Karen. She also asks them how they’re doing, how are the kids, how’s your shoulder been since the surgery, good luck with whatever specific thing they’ve got going on, etc. It’s just a nice place. :)
@@johnburnside7828 out of interest, is there any reason that Americans hate Florida so much. It’s so weird to me as an English person since everyone I know either loves going to Florida or would love to if they could afford it.
That last story is really refreshing. I heard "seven year old" and "putting back misplaced products," and I immediately thought I knew where the story was going. Thankfully, I was wrong.
The one thing Shanghai OP could have done better would have been to reply to Karens statement of 6 years in China would be: "And once police sees the security footage, your attack on me with that hanger will have earned you another 20... behind bars."
Ever since she was a child She always knew how to get her way Just act a little bit wild And someone will surely come to play It's a truth she took to heart But humility and patience didn't come with age She's born to play this part A diva's always center stage Toddler's cries that grow louder and louder Relishing in untestable power Glowing red in a black and white scene The one and only candle queen Stoking the flames that burn higher and higher Royalty with a crown of fire Setting ablaze an extravagant scene The one and only candle queen Addicted to adrenaline And always looking for attention Thought to be so genuine When she's suddenly met with apprehension The fighting has begun And she'd do anything to get ahead Like using people as ladder rungs And sweeping eggshells under the bed Toddler's cries that grow louder and louder Relishing in untestable power Glowing red in a black and white scene The one and only candle queen Stoking the flames that burn higher and higher Royalty with a crown of fire Setting ablaze an extravagant scene The one and only candle queen Ah, but there's hope for you still Before it all comes unfurled Ah, you just need to chill It's not the end of the world She just can't help but be this way She lost her true self long ago Now all her friends have been pushed away Because a caricature is all they know Toddler's cries that grow louder and louder Everyone rushing to disavow her All alone in a black and white scene The one and only candle queen Hurt by the flames that burn higher and higher Clutching a broken crown of fire All alone in the final scene The one and only candle queen What a pity, that candle queen
Last story: Truly a father's daughter. I know he's proud... and shocked upon learning this. LOL 🤣🤣🤣. When the couple bought the whole system... hook, line, and sinker... I burst out laughing. I just hope her dad also showed her how to throw Karens into the trash cans.
Loved how OP in the first story utilized the Reverse Uno card on the other customer. I’m guessing the lady was like “wait, you’re not allowed to do that” after processing the demand for certain intimate items be brought out to her
The last story is why I LOVE kids and want lots and lots of them, kids can be so smart and so funny, they're just like tiny little people who can't spell and don't understand politics and fall over a lot
The 2nd story about the Karen whistling at employees irked me to no end. I worked retail for 10 years and would walk the other way as soon as a entitled jackwagon whistled at me.
If you are grabbed/yanked and it is on video and you react with a swing or grab in response then yes it is self defense. Anything done to put distance between you and your assailant is usually okay, my roommate pepper sprayed a woman who grabbed her in a store.
Technically yes if they attacked you first but beware double standards. I am a 6'2" 250lbs male and I used to work as a bouncer, I had a woman come up to me and slap me after I told her I needed to see her ID (she was under 18 so I was validated for my request by the end). I told her to back off or I would have to remove her from the doorway... she slapped me again so I just grabbed her wrist, turned her around and shoved her back out into the sidewalk behind the line of people waiting to get in. I got called into trial for assault not long later and was almost placed on a few lists for assault, anger management, etc etc. The only saving grace was that there was a camera on site that caught the whole thing on footage. She had lied and said I had punched her, kicked her, and slapped her behind after I wouldn't let her in without a 'favor'. Everyone not from the club was deadset on defending her until that footage was drawn in as evidence and I got off without a problem, pressed defamation charges and anything else I could and went on with my life. My point is... if you're a guy be careful even if you're in the right to defend yourself and don't do anything wrong you can still get nailed because society tends to automatically exonerates ALL women from blame unless you have compelling evidence. I'm not some woman fearing right-wing clown... but just know a womans lie is actually far more valuable than a mans truth nowadays. So be careful with who you defend yourself against and where you do it... make sure you have receipts and film of the incident.
Want to add: if you don't know if the place has cameras or not, don't do ANYTHING until the Karen (male or female) has left a mark on you - a bruise or what you are sure will develop into one, a scratch, etc. If its a finger waving in your face or they are "too close for comfort", just back up and keep backing up. Try to make it where at least one other person can act as witness. Eventually, the Karen will either give up or get so stupid-angry they will lash out and leave a mark on you. THAT'S when you can act to defend yourself. Also, try not to turn your back - keep this person in your peripheral vision at all times. Think of these people as predators... you wouldn't turn your back on a snarling lion or a roaring bear, so don't do it to them... you could end up with far worse than a bruise and the Karen can claim all kinds of things and act the "victim". Keep your wits with you, anger at bay, and know that if you have evidence to prove they touched you, you are well within your rights to defend yourself. Basically, do your best to try not to escalate the situation, to retreat as needed, and to attempt to at least move to the point there are witnesses - the more, the better. Its sad that so many people like this are out there to the point that we have to ask about the legal effects of defending ourselves from these 2 year olds trapped in an adult body.
I love the little girl that gave customers help and advice. I’ll bet her Daddy busted his britches with pride when he heard this story! She will be working along side of him some day! 😊
I’ve had occasion to direct people to non existent aisles. 12 aisle store: ‘Oh, it’s on aisle 14, that way, right hand side, under some big, blue boxes. You can’t miss it. I’ll be there in 3 minutes to help you out.’ My buddy said he experienced: ‘Follow me.’ Leads Karen into parking lot, gets in car, drives off, waving goodbye. 😁😁
That little girl in the last story should be the employee of the month. Her enthusiasm for work is fantastic and she is a smart kid and knew what to say because of her dad
Oh Fluff, your stories today made me literally laugh out loud with delight and amusement. Just what I needed at the end of a tiring day. Thank you & keep up the fantastic work! 💖
That hardware store story is absolutely amazing. I would love for something like that to happen at my store. In the meantime, I’ve got a week or so left (before my new job starts) of trying to help customers with stuff I know very little about, but at least know something via osmosis from being in the store so often for 8-10 hours a day. Lol.
I answered one of those calls. Told them I have a 94 Mazda pickup, how long of a warranty can I get? Lots of spluttering while saying "We can't warranty a vehicle that old". Never called back.
Oh, my goodness! That child has a BRIGHT future ahead of her! Sounds like something my brother might have tried at a dinosaur exhibit in a museum back in the day if given half a chance!
For that Disney story, I was like "We have both Disneyland and Disney world in America, where English is the main language. Why would you go to Shanghai Disneyland where the main language is not English if ur not gonna bother to learn at least basic things in Chinese" and then she mentions being in Shanghai for 6 years and it got worse. How can anyone live anywhere for 6 years and not learn the language or have a friend/family member who knows the language and can help? Maybe her husband knows Chinese? When in Rome do as the Romans do, lady. I wouldn't live in a place where English isn't the main language and just expect everyone to accommodate to me, I would at least try and hope if I get something wrong they wouldn't get too offended and help me understand at least. Also Google translate, it ain't perfect but it would help. But then again if she was too dumb to read the signs that were in Chinese and English, there was no hope
For the most part they appreciate the effort. They probably won't correct you if its not the exact word or context to use, but they get you're a visitor and have an idea what you want.
Over the years, I have been mistakenly thought to have worked in some places, sh*t happens, but never in my life has anyone ever taken it to these extremes. People have asked me "Do you work here?" I say "No, sorry, you'll have to ask someone else." 100% of the time, their response has been "Oh sorry, thanks anyway." and that has been the end of it. Nobody has ever argued that I do in fact work there, they always accept my word on the matter. WTF is wrong with these people who can't just walk away and find someone else?
FYI: Samaritans weren't Christians. That's why the whole story in the bible, dontcha know. If someone who ISN'T a Christian lends a helping hand, the onus is on Christians to be better.
Dang that little girl went from shopping with mommy to managing the store in like 10 minutes.
Extreme Upward Mobility
She was fantastic!
That's how you know the story is bullshit
And with such grace to. She's gonna be talking circles around people
Sounds like she was doing an even better job than the ACTUAL manager 😂

I don't understand why the pastor would chew him out for nor being a Good Samaritan. I don't generally have an inclination to help someone when they act the way she did, and any stranger getting so close I can feel their breath on my neck is likely going to address the floor with their butt.
The silly person should have been tasered.
Anyone who has ever spent time in the PRC will know that people will lay, squat and sit anywhere these is a space (like a cat and a box)

That was BRILLIANT!!! I’ve got to remember that one!

"a taste of her own medicine" It was in the pharmacy section!🤣

Ive seen it work before, and it is glorious! Another tactic that ive used personally, make them feel really stupid by using the same approach, but asking for things that are super technical.
Fight fire with fire.
By the time OP's daughter is the right age to actually work there, she'd be general manager material!
Lowes and Home Depot will have some serious competition by then.
So, let me get this straight - someone can harass and bully employees, but be allowed back into the store, but the second they harass and bully customers, they're told gtfo? Uh, no. If someone harasses or bullies ANYONE, especially employees, they need to be given the boot and banned. End of story, goodbye, the end.
while yes this is true it never works that way sadly witch is why if i see it happening while im out and about i introduce myself into the argument/confrontation that way a costumer was also being harassed. It works and the employees will love you for doing it.
That first story was priceless. That is one idea that has NEVER occurred to me. So if I'm ever hassled by a Karen in a store, I just need to ask her to bet me something sex related to shut her up. Live & learn.
That tourist Karen gives all Americans a bad name, I swear….
Y’all story number four looks like that kid is got a future career and a plumbing store Home improvement store 😂😂😂😂
That kid giving plumbing advice was priceless! And, it's actually usually difficult to find help in a box store - not sure if I would have taken her advice, but I would have listened! 🤣
Well she very smart and was able to convince a couple to by the store product.
First story: I have to remember that the next time someone asks me to help them. I wish someone had told the American Karen at Disney "to go back to your country."
Story 4: OP's kid is only 7 Years old and both a Prodigy and a Great Person, She definitely has a Great Future ahead of her
Upselling like a pro yo
LMAO
That kid is definitely going places! 🤣 Such a cute heartwarming story too end with! 🥰
Thankfully she did not have to deal with a crazy Karen.
That last story made laugh so hard! Just imagining a 7 year old telling customers about plumbing! Such a wholesome story.
Story 2: The most disrespectful people at a restaurant are those who snap fingers or brings a little bell with them.
...brings a little bell? Totally Next Level entitlement. 😐😑😒 👅🚫
Wait...is the bell a real thing?! I had only ever heard stories online of people that rude. I would hope restaurant managers would kick someone out of a restaurant who did that. If I were a customer at a restaurant and someone started ringing a bell, I KNOW I'd ask my server if anything could be done to get them to stop.
@@sherifitzgerald6886 if I saw some jackwagon with a bell in a restaurant, I would have stood up and yelled, "Hey, you! Yeah, you with the bell! If you ring that crap again, that will be the next thing you eat in this restaurant!!!" The best way to humiliate a bully is to call attention to their bullshit.
@@davidharshman7645 Unfortunately yes its a real thing. During my brief run in food service I saw it a few times. They loved their stupid bell til my 6'5 500 pound cook/manager came out and told them to stuff it someplace. Was a great guy, took good care of the servers and staff.
@@LunaP1 still lol with giggles in between. You nailed it! This is the winning answer to shut that nonsense down.😊😁😄😉😉
Ring-a ding-ding 🔔Lol
"idiot grabbed my arm"
so i turned around quickly, and took her hand in mine, and began to squeeze until i saw tears in her eyes.
"so now that you're paying attention, don't ever do that again. "
Wish Id had the courage to do that when some crazy B grabbed the choker I was wearing, AND one of my twin-tails.
Sounds like a good idea though, I like that.
@@sparkplug1018 if it happens again, I suggest you turn around and punch them in the throat with your full body momentum and then have them arrested for attempted murder/manslaughter.
That last story genuinely made me laugh out loud.
The good samaritain helped a person in trouble. NOT enabled karens! They should have laid hands on her! (Cuffed n gaged for unacceptable behavior)
I don't ordinarily like precocious kids, but the girl in the last story was amazing! Smart, spunky, and not at all intimidated. The mom should be very proud of her. She's a champ!
4:16 "Some of us have places to be!"
I once heard that from a lady while I was waiting in line at the cashier at the supermarket. She has been complaining for quite a bit, annoying everyone, and when she said that line, I just said this out loud: "Trust me, lady: we know you got places to be. No one here wants you out of here than us."
Never ceases to amaze me how some people feel comfortable aggressively touching a stranger.
Or in my case, sharing either their medical history, family issues, or both... I’m a medical transportation driver, and no, I don’t ask, but it amazes me that people feel so comfortable with the drivers, even ones that they met for the first time that day.
Yeah. It seems like a good way to get hurt.
Last story about the 7 yr old. This made my day. I laughed so hard I can picture this happening.
I'd have had to leave during that first story because id have been wheezing from how hard I was laughing.
I'm sure many people will think the last story is fake, but trust me, I have worked with many children over several decades, and some this smart and articulate at age 7 do exist. I have even met a couple of 2 year-old toddlers who were able to communicate perfectly in full sentences better than many adults do...and yes, it blew me away when I first heard them speak to me so plainly and I found it hard to believe they were so young at first. Granted such kids are rare and surprising, but sometimes I do meet one.
Kids are generally as smart as their parents allow them to be(at that age at least). If parents answer questions properly, in detail, and without the refusal to use big words, a kid will retain most, if not all, of the information. Treat kids like they’re too stupid to learn anything, and they won’t learn much of anything. A young child’s brain is a sponge; knowledge is the water it soaks up.
My mother’s a train wreck, so my grandma raised me until I was 5 and stuck with the incubator. She used to be an English teacher and my Nana (her mom) was good at math. I spoke full sentences with proper grammar at 2 and by the time I started kindergarten I was doing math and reading at WAY above my grade level!
Some people are just jaded and miserable. And they look for places like these message boards to spread that misery like an infectious disease! One of their favorite things is to say everything is 'fake'!
@@nancyomalley6286 I agree with you completely. I have had to deal with some of these miserable people who have no respect for anyone. I try to shut them down but they do not quit. They only double down on their negativity.
Yes kids can be shockingly smart. I was a prime example of having college level vocabulary in grade school. Helps my mom talked to me like I was a little adult and not a baby to boot.
Nice!! All the employees and non employees deserve a break from the Karens
"Excuse me mom, I'm with a customer"
I'm dying of laughter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The little girl in the last story should have at least gotten a commission for making a sale. I think it's awesome that she has the confidence and knowledge to answer questions and help people the way she did. Love your videos Peace and love to you and your family 💙💚💙💚💙💚
That last story is adorable and I love it. It sounds like something my nephew would do
hahaha
Man that first one, her husband got a real catch, that marriage can not possibly ever be boring!
That last story was an absolute delight! What an amazing kid!
About the last story: OP's daughter sounds adorable! To be honest, though, my only real concern is how she was unattended for so long.
I agree! I would think most parents wouldn’t drop of their child at a part of the store to “organize” it. The world can’t be trusted with kids especially with ones who will won’t hesitate to talk to strangers.
some places its relativity safe. I mean I've left my 8 year old niece in the toy section of my local Walmart to look at camping supply's (maybe 3 or 4 isles between us) she knows if someone enters the isle to either leave that isle and LMK where she is or to come find me when she's done. Yes my 8 year old niece has a phone but she can only call and text like 10 people
Something I hope I remember to do if I'm ever mistaken as an employee: Hold out my hand and ask, "How much are you paying me? If you do THEN you can say that I work here and can in fact fire me."
I don’t think I’ve ever commented here but that last story had me rolling! “Excuse me mom, I’m helping customers” 😂😂
I don’t even care that most of these stories are fake, that one was GOOD!!
The first story about the sex stuff has me howling
I just imagine the next time she is shopping there with her "magnum" husband in tow. 🤣🤣
@@peteralthoff6920 "Don't forget the lube."
As soon as a Karen grabs your hand, shout: "Look! For the last time, I will not have sx with you! I do not care how much you are willing to pay, stop touching me! That is assault!"
Then watch what happens.
Last Story: I wish I knew who that kid is so I can vote for her when she runs for president.
That little girl is going places!!! I love that the employees helped her out and let her make the announcement.
I totally would not believe that last story, but my kids have done crazy grown up type stuff like that before and shocked me too. Absolutely adorable!
I always look at people’s clothes and for any name tags or lanyards before I automatically assume it’s an employee.
You're a normal person. Karens are a different species altogether! They think the world must serve them!
wow, in having such a crappy day that last story made me laugh and realize that even if there are crappy people around you. There is still light, you just need to look for it.
She doesn’t work there anymore Karen what part of that do you not understand ,she quit because of people like you and the policies of the place she was working. I’m so glad that she doesn’t get to go to that store anymore grabbing people is not cool and either is screaming at them, OP got to tell that Karen off😁
Right now, I'm sitting in a bar with my earbuds in listening to the first story lmao and everyone's staring at me 😆😆
Haha! The last girl took the store over! That’s hilarious! She said, “I DO work here, and this is what you need to do…” That makes me laugh.
Oh, Fluff! That last story *GLUED* a smile to my face! Utterly adorable. And it's the kind of thing that can give someone with severe depression that "good-feeling" kick. ❤
Omg, I did the folding shirt thing for years after working clothing retail. Was a hard habit to break!
I work seasonal retail so if I saw something out of place I would fix it, like books on the ground or stuff not hang right. Once I decided to organized DVDS so you saw the titles and not thrown about.
Ive never worked retail but was in restaurants forever lol but I too can't deal with too messy shirts or worse-a shirt/dress/pants on the ground. I always pick it up. I pick up stuff others drop on the floor even in the food aisles. Luckily for me my friend from high school is the manager and always appreciates my efforts. But I do have the reputation of being "your friend who finds rotten/ open/spilled or hidden stuff in the store, is here" ive found a 20lb pork roast behind the shampoo -yogurts behind more shampoo an exploded can of smoked oysters that someone had cracked the tab open to smell it I guess and then hid behind all the other cans.
Broken jars of pickles or sauce. You name it. I've been told that its the right thing to do yet I worry they think I'm doing it. I just have super sensitive sense of smell. My freind says I'd rather you find it before it goes completely rancid.
But he said he usually just rewinds the surveillance to watch who does it so they can try and keep them out. He knows its not me.
Folding shirts is what I *always* do after I tried one on or picked it up to look at it.
And no, I've never worked in retail or anything. It's just that I'm raised to leave the shop not in a mess. The employees have enough to do already. 🙂
I’ve worked retail, but no job that requires folding/fixing stuff like that. I’ve just always fixed things I find in disarray regardless, even as a child . And it wasn’t bc I was raised that way either! My parents were assholes and my mother used to tell me to stop doing that like she was embarrassed by it. She would tell me that I don’t work there and it’s not my job and I would say something like “I don’t have to be an employee to be helpful” or “they have enough crap to worry about.” Some people are just nice!
@@Emeraldwitch30 I haven't worked retail for 30 years and I STILL find myself straightening racks after I've found what I want!! I also still fold my towels and washcloths at home like I did in the store. Some things get pounded into your brain and you just can't let them go. Sure makes me nicer to the retail workers I DO meet, though!
Omg that last story.....I would LOVE to have been at that store that day!!I was cracking up so hard!! That kid sounds like fun! 😆
Confidence is a vast proportion of salesmanship and there's very few things more confident than a child that is pretty sure they know what they're doing
Having worked for Publix for almost 10 years, I can tell you that the Customer Service Rules "If you don't like it, we'll make it right", is not only true, but one of the cornerstones of Publix as one of the best Grocery Chains in the Region. That being said, it's been used and abused constantly and brings out Karens like a stirred up anthill.
But if you are ever in Florida, you *must* go to Publix and you will see for yourself how awesome this place is.
I'd never shop at a place that allows their employees to be treated like crap and let's nasty customers get away with things. AND I'd never set foot in Florida.
I, unfortunately, live in Florida and can confirm. They also have great subs!!
My grandma has been shopping in Publix for the last 30 years and any employee she asks is always happy to help, even if it’s not their department. They’ll do anything she asks with great service. But here’s the thing: she’s not a Karen. She also asks them how they’re doing, how are the kids, how’s your shoulder been since the surgery, good luck with whatever specific thing they’ve got going on, etc. It’s just a nice place. :)
@@johnburnside7828 out of interest, is there any reason that Americans hate Florida so much. It’s so weird to me as an English person since everyone I know either loves going to Florida or would love to if they could afford it.
@@Outnumberedbykidsandcats there's a lot of interesting people in Florida, and usually not in a good way 😂
Grabbing strangers is oftentimes a good way to get yourself hurt.
Especially if you assault someone with PTSD.
That last story is really refreshing. I heard "seven year old" and "putting back misplaced products," and I immediately thought I knew where the story was going. Thankfully, I was wrong.
The one thing Shanghai OP could have done better would have been to reply to Karens statement of 6 years in China would be:
"And once police sees the security footage, your attack on me with that hanger will have earned you another 20... behind bars."
That last story was great! And what a great way to teach a kid to be respectful of workers!
Ever since she was a child
She always knew how to get her way
Just act a little bit wild
And someone will surely come to play
It's a truth she took to heart
But humility and patience didn't come with age
She's born to play this part
A diva's always center stage
Toddler's cries that grow louder and louder
Relishing in untestable power
Glowing red in a black and white scene
The one and only candle queen
Stoking the flames that burn higher and higher
Royalty with a crown of fire
Setting ablaze an extravagant scene
The one and only candle queen
Addicted to adrenaline
And always looking for attention
Thought to be so genuine
When she's suddenly met with apprehension
The fighting has begun
And she'd do anything to get ahead
Like using people as ladder rungs
And sweeping eggshells under the bed
Toddler's cries that grow louder and louder
Relishing in untestable power
Glowing red in a black and white scene
The one and only candle queen
Stoking the flames that burn higher and higher
Royalty with a crown of fire
Setting ablaze an extravagant scene
The one and only candle queen
Ah, but there's hope for you still
Before it all comes unfurled
Ah, you just need to chill
It's not the end of the world
She just can't help but be this way
She lost her true self long ago
Now all her friends have been pushed away
Because a caricature is all they know
Toddler's cries that grow louder and louder
Everyone rushing to disavow her
All alone in a black and white scene
The one and only candle queen
Hurt by the flames that burn higher and higher
Clutching a broken crown of fire
All alone in the final scene
The one and only candle queen
What a pity, that candle queen
What a lovely poem, thank you
@@erikstolzenberger1517 It's a song. Both the music itself and the animation take cues from old cartoons- like Fleischer vs Disney era.
@@kavinaderrow3269 Thanks for the info :) Learning smth new every day^^
Man I bet those Target employees had a rare time rolf at the antics of the two women. Kudos to OP though in the way she dealt with the Karen. 👍👏🤣🤣
HAHA!! That little girl with her plumbing advice was ADORABLE!!!
That end story was amazing!!! That little girl knew everything about that business! 😀
Last story: Truly a father's daughter. I know he's proud... and shocked upon learning this. LOL 🤣🤣🤣.
When the couple bought the whole system... hook, line, and sinker... I burst out laughing.
I just hope her dad also showed her how to throw Karens into the trash cans.
The last story, that is just SO sweet! :-) I bet the kid loved it, the employees loved it, and the customers had big smiles because of it.
I swear. Alot of people need a swift punch to the face some times. Old or not they need to have their egos crushed or their noses.
That last story was so sweet! It’s amazing how smart kids really are at that age
Loved how OP in the first story utilized the Reverse Uno card on the other customer. I’m guessing the lady was like “wait, you’re not allowed to do that” after processing the demand for certain intimate items be brought out to her
The last story is why I LOVE kids and want lots and lots of them, kids can be so smart and so funny, they're just like tiny little people who can't spell and don't understand politics and fall over a lot
Yes, "they're just like tiny little people."😄
The 2nd story about the Karen whistling at employees irked me to no end. I worked retail for 10 years and would walk the other way as soon as a entitled jackwagon whistled at me.
The first story was hilarious! Good job lady!👏👏👍😄
If I slap/punch a Karen or twist her arm for grabbing me, does it count as self-defense?
If you are grabbed/yanked and it is on video and you react with a swing or grab in response then yes it is self defense. Anything done to put distance between you and your assailant is usually okay, my roommate pepper sprayed a woman who grabbed her in a store.
Yep! Just make sure you have a witness or there are cameras otherwise it would be he said/ she said.
Technically yes if they attacked you first but beware double standards. I am a 6'2" 250lbs male and I used to work as a bouncer, I had a woman come up to me and slap me after I told her I needed to see her ID (she was under 18 so I was validated for my request by the end). I told her to back off or I would have to remove her from the doorway... she slapped me again so I just grabbed her wrist, turned her around and shoved her back out into the sidewalk behind the line of people waiting to get in.
I got called into trial for assault not long later and was almost placed on a few lists for assault, anger management, etc etc. The only saving grace was that there was a camera on site that caught the whole thing on footage.
She had lied and said I had punched her, kicked her, and slapped her behind after I wouldn't let her in without a 'favor'. Everyone not from the club was deadset on defending her until that footage was drawn in as evidence and I got off without a problem, pressed defamation charges and anything else I could and went on with my life.
My point is... if you're a guy be careful even if you're in the right to defend yourself and don't do anything wrong you can still get nailed because society tends to automatically exonerates ALL women from blame unless you have compelling evidence. I'm not some woman fearing right-wing clown... but just know a womans lie is actually far more valuable than a mans truth nowadays.
So be careful with who you defend yourself against and where you do it... make sure you have receipts and film of the incident.
Want to add: if you don't know if the place has cameras or not, don't do ANYTHING until the Karen (male or female) has left a mark on you - a bruise or what you are sure will develop into one, a scratch, etc. If its a finger waving in your face or they are "too close for comfort", just back up and keep backing up. Try to make it where at least one other person can act as witness. Eventually, the Karen will either give up or get so stupid-angry they will lash out and leave a mark on you. THAT'S when you can act to defend yourself.
Also, try not to turn your back - keep this person in your peripheral vision at all times. Think of these people as predators... you wouldn't turn your back on a snarling lion or a roaring bear, so don't do it to them... you could end up with far worse than a bruise and the Karen can claim all kinds of things and act the "victim". Keep your wits with you, anger at bay, and know that if you have evidence to prove they touched you, you are well within your rights to defend yourself.
Basically, do your best to try not to escalate the situation, to retreat as needed, and to attempt to at least move to the point there are witnesses - the more, the better.
Its sad that so many people like this are out there to the point that we have to ask about the legal effects of defending ourselves from these 2 year olds trapped in an adult body.
Yes...it does. Bonus points if there is a video & you can upload a copy of it on YT :)
That 1st story is one of the best I've ever heard
Great stories as always, thank you. I especially loved the last one 🥰
I can't believe it, that kiddo in the 4th story is MADE for that role! I hope she got "a foot in" even at that young age, she is amazing!
Last story: Watch out world,🌎 she's On Fire! 🔥
I love the little girl that gave customers help and advice. I’ll bet her Daddy busted his britches with pride when he heard this story! She will be working along side of him some day! 😊
I love the last story. Kid has fun and the store profits from her help as that couple literally bought everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink.
Omg, the OP who yelled back at the Karen about KY jelly & condoms had me crying with laughter! 👏💀😂
I’ve had occasion to direct people to non existent aisles.
12 aisle store:
‘Oh, it’s on aisle 14, that way, right hand side, under some big, blue boxes. You can’t miss it. I’ll be there in 3 minutes to help you out.’
My buddy said he experienced:
‘Follow me.’
Leads Karen into parking lot, gets in car, drives off, waving goodbye.
😁😁
That little girl in the last story should be the employee of the month. Her enthusiasm for work is fantastic and she is a smart kid and knew what to say because of her dad
Oh Fluff, your stories today made me literally laugh out loud with delight and amusement. Just what I needed at the end of a tiring day.
Thank you & keep up the fantastic work! 💖
That last one was a blast!!
The first one is EXACTLY how you treat an entitled Karen
That hardware store story is absolutely amazing. I would love for something like that to happen at my store. In the meantime, I’ve got a week or so left (before my new job starts) of trying to help customers with stuff I know very little about, but at least know something via osmosis from being in the store so often for 8-10 hours a day. Lol.
That is so crazy it’s hilarious sounds like the kid done a better job at running the store than the actual employee you did
17:00- BAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Where did this kid learn all this plumbing jargon? I love this story!
Last story reminds me of my lil sister lol. Precocious and at ease helping people
Oh, that last story was absolutely adorable!
I like the idea of retirees yelling "I have places to be"....yup each day closer to the grave.
That was the response that I thought would be appropriate. "Your grave, bitch."
1:21: "I've been trying to get in touch with you about your car's extended warranty"
I answered one of those calls. Told them I have a 94 Mazda pickup, how long of a warranty can I get? Lots of spluttering while saying "We can't warranty a vehicle that old". Never called back.
@@sue1118 Good job!
That last little kid is going places. XD
Good for her. :)
Oh, my goodness! That child has a BRIGHT future ahead of her! Sounds like something my brother might have tried at a dinosaur exhibit in a museum back in the day if given half a chance!
For that Disney story, I was like "We have both Disneyland and Disney world in America, where English is the main language. Why would you go to Shanghai Disneyland where the main language is not English if ur not gonna bother to learn at least basic things in Chinese" and then she mentions being in Shanghai for 6 years and it got worse. How can anyone live anywhere for 6 years and not learn the language or have a friend/family member who knows the language and can help? Maybe her husband knows Chinese?
When in Rome do as the Romans do, lady. I wouldn't live in a place where English isn't the main language and just expect everyone to accommodate to me, I would at least try and hope if I get something wrong they wouldn't get too offended and help me understand at least.
Also Google translate, it ain't perfect but it would help.
But then again if she was too dumb to read the signs that were in Chinese and English, there was no hope
Even if they were entirely in Chinese, Google translate can translate photographed text as well.
This story just proves racists shouldn't travel outside their home country.
For the most part they appreciate the effort. They probably won't correct you if its not the exact word or context to use, but they get you're a visitor and have an idea what you want.
Lunch and new dark fluff video is my favorite thing of the day
That little girl is just so precious. It's too cute
The third story...woah boy. That lady was definitely cray-cray.
Over the years, I have been mistakenly thought to have worked in some places, sh*t happens, but never in my life has anyone ever taken it to these extremes. People have asked me "Do you work here?" I say "No, sorry, you'll have to ask someone else." 100% of the time, their response has been "Oh sorry, thanks anyway." and that has been the end of it. Nobody has ever argued that I do in fact work there, they always accept my word on the matter. WTF is wrong with these people who can't just walk away and find someone else?
FYI: Samaritans weren't Christians. That's why the whole story in the bible, dontcha know. If someone who ISN'T a Christian lends a helping hand, the onus is on Christians to be better.
Fun fact, 95+% of people in the Bible weren’t Christians.
Last story, OP and her child are awesome 😂😂😂 great story
Wow! That kid from story 4! So cute! So smart! I really hope I can raise my future kiddos to be like her!
