The service industry is somehow a lure for the most entitled and Karen people in the world. If you have ever worked in a restaurant, cafe, hotel, or anything like that then you know. There is always that one customer who thinks that your job means you have to do everything they say and they will throw a tantrum if you do not let them walk all over you.

One server recently shared on Reddit how they were able to take a couple of Karen customers and show them how a basic restaurant works. Basically, these two Karen customers were a couple that came in regularly. They were always walking in reeking with entitlement and thinking they can do whatever the pleased. One night, however, this server had had enough. The employee was actually working as a host that night and things started to pick up. So they took on extra jobs like food runner and busser. Because of that they had a lot on their plate and things were running a little behind. The entitled Karen couple came in, completely walked passed the host stand without even batting an eye at one employee and completely ignored the "do not eat yourself" sign. The host that was now working several other jobs noticed them do that and since it was their job to official seat them, they decided they will not seat them unless specifically asked to.

The Karen couple just stood by the a dirty table like a busser would be there at the snap of their fingers to ready their place. But instead, the employee looked them dead in the eyes and cleaned every other table surrounding them and sat other parties. The Karen couple look annoyed and shouted to themselves about how the service was horrible. Eventually they walked out all huffy and puffy and the server felt satisfied.
