Whenever one hears about a story that features a Karen, it often makes you wonder how these people go about their day, and who are the unfortunate souls that have to deal with them on a daily basis.

Most Karens usually have husbands and kids, and they surely are aware of how she behaves in public. So how do they deal with her? Are they just as crazy, or do they know how to calm her down and make her see reason?

This Reddit story answers these questions for at least one Karen, and boy were the answers satisfying. OP (original poster) works at a convenience store, and she happens to be a witness to a glorious encounter between a Karen and her husband. After quite an entitled behavior from Karen towards other customers in the store, she then demanded the clerk accept her payment despite being a few dollars short. The clerk refused, which caused Karen to throw a full-on tantrum, stamping her foot and everything, and then calling her husband as a last resort. The husband, who must have heard his wife complain countless times about these sorts of things, called her childish behavior out and forced her to behave like a normal human being.
