When a Karen meets her match, it's practically divine intervention… Good intentions are futile when it comes to ungrateful customers. Why bother attempting to save them a few bucks if they're going to wave you off and demand to speak to your manager? You know full well what's going to happen when they get involved, but the unsuspecting customer sure doesn't. This tale of malicious compliance is of the above example. A waiter took to Reddit, sharing the time he worked as a cashier in an oddly expensive fast food restaurant, where it was the norm to charge customers for ranch to go with their salad.
Yeah, it gets weird. This establishment paid the cashier minimum wage, AKA he wasn't rewarded for his hard work with a livable salary — so he honestly didn't give much of a hoot about the crazy price range. When customers were decent, he wouldn't charge them for sauce. Of course, he could only do so when the Karen-type of manager wasn't on duty, or at the very least, wasn't in close proximity.
Lo and behold, one day an old lady came in, demanding to accessorize her salad with a variety of things that don't normally go in a salad (We all know this type of customer… why not do us all a favor and just make a salad at home, Gretchen?). The cashier was in a good mood, so he only added an extra dollar to the salad for the guacamole. The customer was nonetheless, not pleased, demanding to speak to the manager.
What is that saying? Karma… you get it. It was pretty immediate. One Karen got to meet her match. Scroll down to read a detailed account of what happened below. You're also welcome to check out another classic tale of malicious compliance — you get what you pay for. Curtains close.
