‘I kept track of everything’: Retail employee keeps track of times manager submits to Karens' requests, then tells upper management

Managers often bend over backward to make rude, entitled, and petty customers comfortable, and it makes the employee who originally denied the customer's request look pretty bad. Let's say you're a Karen, and you want to use an expired coupon. For the sake of our little experiment, let's say that this coupon has expired over a month ago. You're furious when the employee points out the obvious, because, well, you're a Karen, and demand to speak to the manager. Poof, the manager arrives and overrides the company's rules in order to make you happy. You glare at the poor employee, who was just doing their job, and think they have something personal against you.

Now that I've painted quite a picture, you'll find that OP's petty revenge was totally reasonable, as their boss was one of those types of managers. So, instead of staying quiet about the issue, OP enacted some petty payback, which included some good old malicious compliance. They waited for a Karen to come in and ask for something clearly against the store policy, then called their manager, who they knew would immediately fold.
