'How self absorbed can you be?': Grocery store Karen annoys entire checkout line while ignoring cashier

One cashier was rolling their eyes at this incredibly unaware customer who just couldn't seem to focus on the task at hand. Wake up, Karen, it's time to pay for your groceries, not blab with your friend! 

On the r/Talesfromretail subreddit, one frustrated grocery clerk shared the daily struggle of just getting customers to listen to them. On an unexpectedly busy day at the store, the cashier wasn't able to leave their post for a second due to the massive influx of customers. But still, when this Karen spotted her friend in another line, she didn't waste any time. Instead of paying for her groceries, she chatted it up with her friend. This certainly puts the cashier — and everyone else in line — in an awkward spot. They have to get her to just pay for her darn groceries. How hard could it be? 

Then, check out this article for sleepyheads who love to stay up late every night, and have some regrets and strong coffee the next day.
