Most folks cannot fathom having the audacity to make a scene at a coffee shop, and yet, there are clearly enough people in this life who continue to make scenes any chance they can. Does this stem from a bitterness toward the world? Does it stem from a warped sense of entitlement? Are these folks capable of stepping out of their own experiences to realize the world does not revolve around them? The short answer to that last one is… unlikely. 

Here, we have an entitled Karen who put in an overly complicated coffee order that the barista said would take a few minutes to prepare. While she was waiting, the Redditor behind her ordered a simple large, black coffee and was given his order fairly quickly. This lit a fire within this woman, who could not accept the fact that her order was not being prioritized. What she didn't realize is that one of the other customers present for this altercation was a police officer. Let's just say that things didn't end up going too well for her.
