‘I ended up working at that place’: Random chef on lunch break gets accosted by restaurant's notorious Karen customer, impresses their head chef and gets hired

Sometimes a beautiful thing can blossom out of something horrible. For example, a higher-paying job can blossom from how you handle a Karen tantrum. Which is exactly what happened to this Redditor. She was enjoying her lunch at a restaurant she did not work at. She had interviewed with them, but it was too soon to know anything about that. She had only an hour for lunch from her actual chef job at a completely different restaurant, so was trying to down her food as fast as possible. All of a sudden a Karen approached her with daggers for eyes and well, you can guess what happened next. However, instead of losing it during the tantrum she so unwillingly was forced into, she kept her head cool. One thing led to another and BAM, she got hired at that restaurant doing what she loved and getting paid more. So take THAT Karens of the world. Level-headed empathetic humans 1 Karens 0. Read the entire showdown below!
