'I said I’ll be with you in a moment, ma’am': Honking Karen at the local drive thru refuses to wait in line, barista loses it

Nothing will stop a Karen who's in need of her caffeine! The concept of a line? Not on her radar. How about being polite to the barista who's taking her order? Nope. What about patience? Forget about it. We don't expect patience from the Karens of the world. How foolish are we at this point? This is 2023, after all!

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/HotSeaworthiness8479, who was working at an understaffed coffee shop at the time that was also the most popular one in the area. Isn't that dichotomy just classic? One day at around 6 p.m., they needed to shut down part of the coffee shop and just keep the drive-thru portion open. That meant that the line was long and orders were pretty backed up. Anyone who has worked in the service industry will understand this kind of stressful environment. So what happened when an impatient Karen kept honking her horn, which subsequently caused a blaring sound in the barista's headphones? Well, let's just say that the barista's bandwidth got more and more narrow, and his ability to tolerate this Karen quickly became nonexistent.

Keep scrolling below to see what happened when the two finally had their confrontation. Let's just say that at the very least, OP managed to get an extra tip out of the whole exchange, albeit from an onlooker. For more stories like this, check out these top Karens of the week!
