Fortunately, this tale of a customer mistaking another customer for an employee has a happy ending. Normally, we come across frustrating tales of Karens and other entitled walks of life going out of their way to rudely demand things of customers that were minding their business, just trying to take care of their own shopping needs. Sometimes, those scenarios even end up escalating into situations where the confused customers still ask the other customers to help them out, as if they worked there. Pretty unreal. This story though just involves some good old fashioned tomfoolery and an overriding, welcomed sense of humor.

Also, if you want to read on YouTube, you have to ask for my permission. I'll state it upfront that this story doesn't have a Karen. It happened back in 2006. It didn't happen to me per se, but to one of the people in our group and I was a witness.

    Font - A little background, because it's needed: in my country, we don't have Halloween. Our equivalent is the month before the start of Lent, called Apokries, that has a lot of people partying and running around in costumes, culminating in the Sunday before Lent, where everyone parties in costumes and most cities have a masked troupe parade. We call it The Carnival. So, I was born and raised in the city with the biggest Carnival in the country and a full month of traditions associated with it.

    Font - One of our friends has a younger brother, that due to health reasons had spent almost three years in and out of the hospitals. He was fifteen at the time and it would be the first time in three years that he would be able to attend the celebrations (the Carnival was his favorite holiday). During his tenures as a patient, he spent his time reading books. He became hooked to Fantasy and Science Fiction. Somebody had left some W40K novels and the kid was hooked. He had a special fondness for

    Font - His older brother, our friend, wanted to make him feel good during the festivities and proposed to the rest of us if we could help him find costumes related to his favorite books. We all happily agreed and started researching. While some games (Magic: The Gathering and D&D) had gained some traction and had a fanbase in my country, W40K was a bit difficult to find. Google came to the rescue, providing us info and some images. Finding what a commissar was and what was his function, we all d

    Font - The day came and our company mustered out. We had our young commissar in black coat and red sash. pimped out airsoft pistol as a laspistol on one side, a carved foam chain sword on the other. 9 Guardsmen decked in black fatigues, flak armour vests and BB rifles. His brother had also an adapted big water gun to look like a melta. And because one of our friends was 6'7" and 300 pounds of muscle, we managed to dress him in an approximation of an Ultramarine, with a pimped out Nerf pistol as

    Font - We did our rounds, had fun, but at some point our young commissar got tired and we retired to a pizza shop for some rest. The place we picked was packed, being a popular student spot. Also, you ordered at the counter, sat down and they gave a buzzer that notified you when the order was ready. We pick one of to go order, that being our Ultramarine. He goes to place the order and his GF, let's call her Sarah, removes her gear to visit the toilet. The incident happened on her way back to our

    Font - TM: But you're wearing their uniform.... (confused). In any other day, dressed in a black shirt and black pants, Sarah could be confused with an employee (it was the uniform). But everybody that day was in some kind of costume. The woman was accompanied by her two children, a girl around 6 in a Disney princess dress and a boy around 10 dressed as a musketeer.

    Font - GS: Oh, no. You have to place the order at the counter... and starts to explain the system. The mother is a bit dejected (understandable, with two young kids in a chaotic city). At that point, UM comes back and, finding his GF talking to unknown woman, asks (kindly) what is happening. Now, while the conversation was in a good tone, it was a bit loud due to the ambient noise. The boy, seeing a giant looming over his mother (she was about 5'5" or 5'6") and speaking loudly, decided to act. H

We are trying to hold our laughter, watching the whole surreal exchange (a young woman dressed in black, a middle aged woman dressed as a ladybug, a towering space marine and a small musketeer), our commissar decided to take charge.

    Font - That brought everyone to laughter. After that exchange, UM kindly took their order and we invited them to our table. We provided a good distraction for the kids (CM was captivated by the concept of a "knight" having both a big gun and a sword, the princess was talking to the girls about the guns) and TM had some rest, chatting with the rest of us. 2.4k , 98 1 Share
