This tale of petty revenge serves as a great example of what one can do if they ever witness a wild Karen raging at a completely innocent human being working customer service. In this case, Karen was pitching a full on rage fit over the store "not" having her precious black-eyed peas. The thing about it is though that Karen never bothered to inspect the proper aisle closely. Nope, she segued right into unleashing her pent up rage at a poor grocery store employee who was just there trying to be helpful. Fortunately, another customer who has been through the ringer of working customer service was ready to take a swift yet effective petty revenge. 

Check out another story of a Karen getting her comeuppance with this tale about a wild Karen getting bested by petty revenge at the airport.

    Text - Karen: what do you mean you don't have any black eyed peas? I saw you restocking these shelves with beans and need them for tonight! Don't you understand tradition?! Employee: Ma'am I don't think we have any left. If they aren't in the display case, then we're probably out. But we do have canned and frozen- Karen: NO! I don't want canned or frozen! I need REAL BLACK EYED PEAS!

    Text - She continues to ream out this poor kid as I walk to the other side of them and to the shelf where the black eyed peas are usually stored. Call it a hunch or a blind hope but I crouched down to look all the way in the back and sure enough there were two bags left, tucked away in the shadows. I fished them out with a little difficulty (yay for having short arms) and by the time I got them both out, Karen had taken notice. When she saw me pull out the peas she gasped. Literally gasped like

    Text - She then holds out one hand and curls her fingers in a "fork 'em over" motion. Now I could have given her the bag. I only needed one. But dammit, I used to work retail and I can tell you that poor employee was not paid enough to deal with her attitude. Especially not this year. So I put on my best smile and said, "Sorry ma'am. I need these for my own New Years Eve. Tradition, you know?" And plopped them into my basket. She had a fit! Called me a selfish millennial brat with no respect for
