    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.

    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.

    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
