'An Impressive Bit of Creative Writing': Cafe owner destroys Karen's 1-star review with scathing response

When this disgruntled customer left a 1-star review describing their poor experience at a cafe, the owner set out to put the story straight with this thorough and scathing response. Screenshots of the exchange were posted to a popular Reddit subreddit by Reddit user u/rainier-cherries, of the employees who works at the business.

The employee posted the exchange to Reddit's r/quityourbullsh*t subreddit, a larger sub that often deals with stories such as this where people who are bragging, exaggerating, or lying get shut down.

In part of the Karen's review, she mentions calling in advance, which the owner sets straight by pointing out that she had actually sent through a written request with intense instruction regarding her daughter's food allergies. All of which were complied to.

"My daughter has to follow a special diet we would love to order [a]cheese plate for her with aged cheese," the instructions began. They continued, "She cannot have gluten, soy, eggs, sugar, [or] milk (she can do cheese if aged not mozzarella.)" Before concluding with a left-field request to "Surprise her with [a] fruit plate for her birthday, it would be great. Thanks."

Commenters had an overwhelmingly positive reaction to the owner's response and pointed out how, well, pointed their words were.

"It's missing "f- you" at the end," commented user North-Ad-5058.

"It's pretty heavily implied," replied user Appropriate_Town6385.

"This is a great example of telling someone to go f*ck yourself in the politest way possible," offered user Stephen501.

"My daughter has to follow a special diet we would love to order cheese plate for her with aged cheese - we did that before. She cannot have gluten, soy, eggs, sugar, milk (she can do cheese if aged not mozzarella). WE dined with her at your place before and it went well, if maybe to surprise her with fruit plate for her birthday it would be great. Thanks."
