    Honey, this was fully your mistake and no one else's. Hats off to the server who had to deal with you!

    Font - Every server should be legally allowed to fight one customer per year. ⠀ *** il y a 7 mois I ordered 60 or so sushi rolls because I thought they were in sale but it turned out to be something else that as on sale, but anyways I was also with my kids so we were all eating sushi, and then they gave me the bill and I saw it was over a hundred dollars which I didn't have, and since me and my kids hadn't eaten 30 or so of the sushi rolls I told the waitress I'd give back the sushi for a refund

    This Karen needs to get a life!

    Tape measure - Leaving oil spots and extra garlic sauce everywhere Just wanted to let everyone know where Papa John's near Meridianville. They have a driver that has a transmission leak. He will pull in your driveway and leave a big spot of transmission fluid. Papa John's management stated Papa John's is not responsible for damage there drivers do to your property. 5 6 7-8 9 SE Z V PATIMILE

    This neighbor clearly doesn't understand how pollination works!

    Font - how very neighborly Best of Nextdoor @bestofnextdoor "CAN I SUE MY BEEKEEPER NEIGHBOR?" Can I sue my beekeeper neighbor? Every day i see my neighbor's bees flying around my garden stealing the pollen or nectar from my flowers. Then the bees go back to my neighbor and creates honey. My neighbor then harvests the honey and sells it at Pepper Place Market for profit. I have never recieved so much as a jar of honey as compensation and everyday my neighbors bees trespass and steal my flowers.

    This woman literally said that unfortunately we live in a "Me First" society after she wasn't allowed to go first...

    Font - 8:44 LTE O ●●● Time to Rant! I went to Hobby Lobby to return two items. The clerk told me there was only one register to make returns. The woman that was in front of me was in the process of returning many items and in turn purchasing 80-100 items - her basket was bulging (no exaggeration) - After all the Christmas items were 60-70% off! I asked the manager if I could make my return at another register (no line). She said that the line where I was standing, was the only return register. I

    This one's a three part saga! (Part 1 of 3)

    Font - I want him fired! I am the manager for a small pool service company in a very rich area in northern california. one of my duties is watching our guys trucks on the gps throughout the day, so I know generally what everyone is doing and where they are. I got a call the other day from a woman, who came on the phone with a raised voice and it just escalated from there. apparently, on one of the more treacherous roads, one of my guys came flying up the road and made her almost drive off the cl

    "Flying up the road" was surely an exaggeration... (Part 2 of 3)

    Font - I told "Karen" that I was sorry and if she would hang on for a second I would figure out what happened. with her on the phone I brought up my guys truck info. feigning innocence, I said, oh I see right here, our driver was going 10mph and had to hard brake, hmm, are you sure he was "flying" up the road? Karen sputter out "well, it seemed like he was going faster than that." I asked her if there was any damage to her car, after having to go off the cliff like that. "Huh, No, my car is fine

    This manager is my new hero! (Part 3 of 3)

    Font - "well thank you for letting us know. I'll be sure to talk to him when he gets back from his 9hr long day. its been raining so much lately, our guys are just worn to the bone. But i'll be sure to talk to him about running you off the road. is there anything more i can help you with?" "umm, no.. well, no, thanks." She finally hung up. I'm pretty sure i shamed her enough that she'll think twice about lying on the peons that do the grunt work that makes her life easy.

    This one serves as another reminder that Karens and planes don't mix!

    Font - Saw a Karen while waiting to board a plane yesterday. So I was flying back from Orlando yesterday with Spirit Airlines. Loved flying with them but yes they do have a reputation for charging for everything which is how you can save money if you are smart. I had my personal sized item (Backpack within the dimensions of 18" x 14 x 8 inches) and Karen has a bag that was clearly not within those size limits (It was a rolling bag that had like a pouch pocket that stuck out a bit if that makes s

    Well, folks, we have a new type of Karen... (Part 1 of 2)

    Font - Karen Demands Free Meat I just found this sub and I figured this story would belong here. I was working at a meat counter in a very popular high-end grocery store, you might be able to guess which one. One day we were closing up and this very unusual Karen comes up to the counter. She asked for free meat scraps. People would often come in and make trouble demanding free scraps but it's not allowed for lots of reasons having to do with product tracking and food safety. Not to mention, this

    Her name is henceforth known as Raccoon Karen (Part 2 of 2)

    Font - Sure enough, Karen starts making trouble asking why we couldn't give her the meat we were throwing away (we donated it to a a regenerative pig farming facility). She asks for the manager. I bring my assistant team leader over and braces himself for the verbal assault. He very kindly offers to sell her some chuck stew meat. Karen has reached the end of her rope and yells "I'm not going to BUY meat for my WILD RACCOONS" and storms off. As she leaves she says "I don't even EAT MEAT". My poor

    Note to self: Karens at self-checkout are always looking for a fight! (Part 1 of 4)

    Font - Entitled Karen's lying so they can get special treatment. Karen Oh, my word. Like y'all need need to keep your lies straight. So self check outs DO NOT ACCEPT CHECKS. They NEVER have. They don't even have a spot for the check. Now we do have ELDERLY people who do make the mistake and when that happens we do a suspended transaction. It basically prints off a paper with a barcode that a cashier can scan at a REGULAR register and pay with check there. Hope it makes sense. So today, all alone

    (Part 2 of 4)

    Font - Me: Sorry, but you can't pay with check at self checkout. Karen: SINCE WHEN?! Me: Since forever? Karen: I've done it before! Me:....... Did you mean a suspended transaction? Karen: YES! And that's when it clicks that SHE PLANNED THIS. Everytime we have to do a suspended transaction for a check, WE TELL THEM THAT THEY CAN'T PAY WITH CHECK. Which means that she was TOLD not to use checks.

    (Part 3 of 4)

    Font - Me: So I'll give you a suspended transaction and you can go to a register and they can ring you up. Karen, steaming mad, snatches the barcode out my hand and stomps off to a regular register. Where she starts to complain about me not checking her out, even though I couldn't leave where I was. Keep in mind that she literally didn't have to wait in line, she, a grown 50 woman, threw a fit because I didn't check her out.

    (Part 4 of 4)

    Font - Please stop. Also one lady threw a fit because she thought we were accusing her of stealing because the cashier at the self checkout happened to glace in her direction. I'm not calling her elderly. I meant that alot of elderly people make the mistake of using checks at self checkout because checks are their normal.

    Uh oh...not a Bakery Karen (Part 1 of 5)

    Font - Karen wants to hand pick her buns Karen I used to work at a bakery during covid. We had a display case installed for donuts, individual buns, croissants, etc. It was self serve which I thought was odd to implement this during the plague times, but whatever, not my choice, right? It was about 1/2 through my shift and I was working solo. After the first hour all of the breads and such were packaged, and the rest of my shift typically consisted of standing around to help customers and restoc

    (Part 2 of 5)

    Font - 2 minutes after I left, I was paged back to the bakery. I finished up what I was doing, washed up, and headed back to my station. There was an angry looking lady there, and she was using her BARE HANDS (gloves were provided) to tear apart a 12 pack of dinner rolls and take the ones she wanted, while shoving the rest into the display case. Immediately I asked her what she was doing, and she said "I've been waiting here for TEN MINUTES and NOBODY CAME so I decided to just help myself. I nee

    (Part 3 of 5)

    Font - I was honestly over being polite to customers like this, as I worked in a rich neighbourhood and there was a high amount of Karen type folks. Usually I was made to give them whatever they wanted (did you know if you to a a manager at a Safeway you can basically name your own price for anything?) so I unleashed years worth of suppressed customer service torment unto her.

    (Part 4 of 5)

    Font - "I'm sorry you had to wait, however I was here less than 5 minutes ago and I know you're lying or at least exaggerating. further, even if you waited 20 minutes it doesn't give you the right to start tearing into packages you haven't paid for with your bare hands. you just can't do that. do you understand I now have to throw everything in the display case out now because it's contaminated? not to mention that you can't just rip open a sealed/labelled package of buns to pick the ones you wa

    Thankfully, we're leaving you with a satisfying ending! (Part 5 of 5)

    Font - Her face was red and she started to argue back to me. I cut her off and said "seriously?" and she looked really embarrassed/angry. rather than say anything else, she took her bag of buns and headed for the cash registers. This was the only time I ever got to have a satisfying interaction with a Karen. Every other time they either got free things, steep discounts, or some other ridiculous accommodation. I was a bit nervous that she would go speak to my store manger and I would be reprimand
