Every so often, maybe twice a year, this Karen manager decides to lose her mind and accuse everyone of doing everything wrong. She runs a small but always moderately busy convenience store. Well, the other day, she decided it was time for her tantrum. Her employee had just finished restocking and cleaning the store and had returned to the register when his Karen boss came storming and sardonically told him to stay at the register while she did all the work. Well, after having witnessed her tantrums several times before, he decided he wasn't going to put up with it this time and instead opted for some well-deserved malicious compliance. So, he decided to follow her orders and do nothing, which forced her to actually do something on her own for once.
