You better believe that an older woman at a gated community club could literally get offended by the prospect of an employee grabbing a cup of coffee. We applaud such a graceful solution that left a Karen so goddamned angry over nothing but her own misplaced sense of superiority.

    Text - Ah, the joys of customer service. Here's some background: So I work at a club/fitness center that is located within a gated community. Basically, a breeding ground for Karens. Most people here are very entitled. I also happen to live in this community, but my mom and I rent and generally keep to ourselves and don't get involved in the drama. When you live in the community, a membership to the club where I work (that has a pool, tennis courts, gym, and dance studio) is included in HOA dues

    Text - I work front desk/juice bar, which means I greet members, send emails, basically keep the place together. I also prepare all of the complimentary snacks and drinks and keep them filled throughout the day. The people are very annoying, but it's good money for a 16-year-old and my boss/coworkers are great. Now back to Karen. It's about 8am on a Saturday, which means prime coffee time. My shift starts at 5:30am, so I am pretty tired and ready for a cup. I make all the coffee and complimentar

    Text - Enter Karen. The giant canvas tote and terribly bleached bob are telltale. I am standing at the counter, minding my own business, pouring a cup of coffee. Karen asks in such a shrill voice that it could probably break glass, "Young lady, what do you think you are doing?" Me, surprised, "getting coffee."

    Text - I was also pretty annoyed at being called "young lady". I am not her kid to talk down to and patronize Karen huffs, "You can't do that!" Me, too tired for this bullshit, "Why not?" Karen, determined to combat the apparent danger of a minimum wage employee getting coffee, shrieks "You aren't a member! You can't get coffee if you aren't a member. Until then, no coffee for you!"

    Text - I start to hatch my ever so devious plan Cue UNO reverse card I don't respond to Karen and walk over to the clock-in machine to punch out. Members have a PIN number that they enter into a keypad so we can keep track of the number of people using the facilities. I walk over to the keypad, enter my PIN, and my name and picture pop up on the monitor, indicating that I am indeed a member

    Text - I then walk over to the bar, passing Karen who looks like she is about to spontaneously combust with anger, to pick up my half-full cup of coffee and proceed to fill it from the coffee dispenser. I then walk back over to the clock-in machine, holding my coffee and punch back in I sit back down at the front desk and start working on entering payments

    Text - Karen is still standing by my desk, looking like she is about to have an aneurysm. I just ignore her until she proceeds to leave. The 20 cents I lost from clocking out for two minutes was worth the look of pure horror on Karen's face EDIT thank you all for the wonderful comments! i am currently sitting at my desk enjoying my 2nd iced coffee
