My fellow retail workers and service persons… Have you ever had a customer screaming in your face (ok, that's a given) telling you to do something, and you have to fight back the urge to laugh? Not only that, but you have to fight every muscle in your body that wants to do precisely what they are asking you to do but in the most malicious way possible. Well, this barista lost that battle with themselves and decided to do precisely what this deranged coffee shop Karen was screaming at them to do.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by the barista, Reddit user u/obiwan_jenobi. Who shared their story of delightfully petty malicious compliance to the popular subreddit.

Now, the story might end with an, "and everyone clapped," but I genuinely have witnessed situations like this in real life where the other customers are so astounded by the screaming person that they intervene or find some other way of putting the insane individual in their place such as clapping at their demise. So my headcanon is going to be that this one is true.
