'We don't need you, why don't you just quit': Karen and Kevin diner owners challenge overworked server to quit, server maliciously complies

Who doesn't love a classic "you don't know what you've got till it's gone" story? Here, we have a server fresh out of school who was constantly manipulated and treated poorly by her Karen and Kevin bosses. While I have never shared the particulars of a story, I do empathize with the situation as someone who has worked for ungrateful clients. In this case, I was working in a client-facing role and was already swamped that I did not need this particular person's business. When he started making unnecessary demands that required more than what I was being paid for (not to mention more than what I had time for), I eventually had the courage to recommend someone else for the job all the while knowing that this client was about to have a serious awakening. That's because I was already doing more than what was required of me, and I knew no one else would take that much on for an hourly rate. Sometimes, however, the only way for the Karens and Kevins of the world to understand how lucky they are is to leave them in the dust.
