    Font - Karen at Barnes and Noble M My husband and I sometimes love to go do kind of an impromptu date at Barnes and Noble where we will go get breakfast and then go to the store and wander around. He usually heads to the manga and I roam around fiction and fantasy and usually we end up walking out with a handful of new books. It's super fun and we get to show each other what we like and get ideas for future gifts and what not.

    Font - Anywho, we were there this past Saturday and had taken a particularly long time picking out books, so we were finally ready to leave and get home. Cue to us standing in line and great, there's only one person in front of us and one person (Karen) checking out.

    Font - This woman starts complaining about the price of every single thing as it is scanned, going so far to say the teenager working ABSOLUTELY MUST pass it on to corporate about how RIDICULOUSLY expensive prices are and how it makes her not want to go there anymore. The teenager keeps trying to just get her to finish checking out but she keeps getting louder. At one point she actually turned around to look at other people in line (by now two more were behind us) I guess trying to get support o

    Font - The kid working finally asks her if she needs a bag for 10 cents and she FLIPS. Note, in our state they made it mandatory for stores to start charging for plastic bags and will ban them permanently in the next couple years, so this shouldn't be a surprise to her at this point since it's been in effect for 3 months. She's like NOW YOU WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR A BAG?!?! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! YOU NEED TO TALK TO YOUR CORPORATE OFFICE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. The cashier (my hero) literally di

    Font - Anyway, I almost cheered when she finally left the store. Like, if you don't want to pay that price just leave and don't shop there. You screaming at an hourly teenager and holding the line up isn't going to change anything and you aren't getting any support from anyone by acting a fool!

    Font - JipC1963 9 hr. ago My usual go-to for these situations is a really loud "SERIOUSLY?" Which usually shuts them up really fast. If they decide to come for me, I use a very heavy cane and know how to use it! LOL

    Font - SpearUpYourRear . 2 hr. ago At one point she actually turned around to look at other people in line (by now two more were behind us) I guess trying to get support or something? I love when they turn around during those tirades to look at the line of people for backup. You can tell they're expecting others to join in with yelling at the employees until they give the entitled customer what they want, but instead the customer will just get dagger stares because they're holding up the line.

    Font - Social JusticeWhat 3 hr. ago Screaming at teen workers because of the prices set by tye business is just the stupidest kind of entitlement. Ai wish people were just barred from any place they do this. In an actual bar you can be banned for life. Feel like the Karen's would shut up pretty quickly if they were banned from their local Walmart...

    Font - thegreatgazoo 3 hr. ago Seriously. The prices are on the items. If it's more than you want to pay then put it back down where you found it.
