A military combat veteran was minding his own business doing his grocery shopping when a wild supermarket Karen appeared and demanded his assistance. When he refused to assist her, the situation escalated and led to a dramatic confrontation. It's often that we find confused Karens in these bizarre circumstances… Just the other day a story was trending where a Karen even tried to order a pizza from a craft shop.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/IDontWorkHereLady by Redditor u/Doug4422, who posted the thread with the title "Karen tangles with a combat veteran, gets more than a handful."

The comments were mixed on this story, with some users voicing their enjoyment of or asking questions about the story while others had more negative responses.

"30 days?! Why not forever?" Questioned Catacombs3. "Why would they tolerate/encourage people who physically attack their customers? I hope you pressed charges for assault."

Some commenters disliked the poster's narrative, which they accused of being drenched in stereotypical military machismo.

"I like the story, but holy shit does this ever reek of r/iamverybadass," remarked ifeelnothingaboutyou.

"I wish I had the Navy Seal copypasta," replied RickCrenshaw.
