'See, that wasn't so hard!': Restaurant patron proceeds to count every single table after being told by the hostess that the place is fully booked, then demands to be seated

Working in the service industry will put you within arm's reach of some of the most irrational people on the face of the planet, and after the initial grinding your teeth and crossing your eyes phase, you get used to dealing with them.

A hostess told her story on u/entitledpeople, where she relayed a frustrating story with an even more frustrating outcome. She had an encounter with one of those Karens you always dread who are about to walk in the door and change the entire menu… You know the type, the ones who aren't satisfied with anything. You could bring them five hundred dollars worth of free food on a golden platter and they would still find something wrong with it.

This Karen thought the hostess was exaggerating when she said the restaurant was fully booked, but the hostess wasn't. They were indeed, fully booked. People had reservations, others were on the waiting list… But this Karen believed she was entitled to a seat anyway. So she set herself to the tedious task of counting every single table in the restaurant to make sure the hostess was being fair with her. Of course, she happened upon a few tables that were 'reserved', but she didn't care about that. She wanted a seat, pronto.

The ending is deeply annoying and enrages every single customer service bone in my body, but I won't spoil it for you. Scroll down to read the entire story, and then check out this freshly hired factory worker who complied with one of the senior employees… resulting in disaster.
