‘She felt entitled to an extra discount, so I gave it to her’: Retail supervisor who already quit handles a demanding customer by giving her a ‘senior discount’

‘She felt entitled to an extra discount, so I gave it to her’: Retail supervisor who already quit handles a demanding customer by giving her a ‘senior discount’

You get a discount, you get a discount, everybody gets a discount! I'm kidding, that's not how retail stores work. If everyone got a discount for no reason, the store would be out of business. It's the retail worker's job to ensure that people don't show up with expired coupons, and this particular worker who had landed themselves the role of supervisor was very good at their job. OP had actually quit, giving in their two weeks' notice, and we all know that the moment you quit is the moment you…

'THAT'S NOT WHAT I ORDERED': Fast food employee hooks it up, saving a customer 5% on their order; ignorant Karen denies a discount over nomenclature

When it comes to the world of fast food, nobody likes to push the boundaries of human decency quite like a Karen who believe's they're right. The customer may ‘always be right’ in the eyes of the manager, but in most circumstances, it's the employees that endure the most absurd consumer Karenisms when trying to live up to the customers corrections. Karens will go to any lengths to prove themselves, even when the teenage cashier is just trying to save them some money with an ordering loophole.

‘She begged for my husband’: Karen attempts to get computer for free by demanding to speak to owner's husband

‘She begged for my husband’: Karen attempts to get computer for free by demanding to speak to owner's husband

Selling things online is a fickle business. It starts off fairly simple, you post an ad along with your contact info. You get a couple of replies, maybe get ghosted once or twice, perhaps a prank phone call or two. But the world of online business is a strange one, and it is bound to bring some pretty strange people to your doorstep if you are not careful. Here, in this case, OP posted an ad for a computer, stating the price of 900. Not one minute later, OP got a phone call. At first, everythin…

'Life is not a YouTube tutorial': Tradesman gets vindicated when DIY neighbor devalues his professional skill and totally ruins a welding project

Many of us are DIYers and YouTube tutorial survivalists by necessity. Sure, an online tutorial video can help an amateur complete a project at a lower price, but none of us are out here diluting the value of an actual professional's skills. As I stare at the cattywompus angles of the tilted tiles in my DIY bathroom, it becomes painfully clear that a pro would have done it a lot better than me.

‘You’re not getting a refund': Hotel clerk refuses to engage with Karen guest's requests during checkout

When working at a hotel, you get to meet a variety of different people, and some of them are the type to attempt getting a discount or even an entire refund for the smallest of things that could easily be fixed if only they would use their mouth to communicate effectively instead of to argue. In this case, Karen thought she was going to win gold by conveniently complaining about her bathroom fan not working after she'd already checked out of the hotel. She approached the front desk clerk, OP, a…

'Sorry ma'am, this coupon is expired': Cashier 'helps' customer who demands to use outdated coupons

Some people just wake up entitled, convinced they're better than everyone else. And these people love to bug retail workers until they lose their minds, as u/amaranthinenightmare shared in their story to r/MaliciousCompliance. The woman in this story is every retail worker's nightmare . She's the kind of person who shows up at 7:45am to bang on the windows of the store until it opens at 8am. She's the type who will unfold all the clothes the employees just folded, only to then demand you find h…

'Sucks to be her': Customer gets revenge on a full-cart Karen who cut him in the grocery store express lane by using all of her reward points to get cheap gas

Customers who whip out a rewards card at every grocery store live every moment thinking about 10 cents of savings and they are very serious about their discounts. Typically those 'rewards members’ tend to also be the Karen or Kevin types and they can be a huge pain, thinking that every grocery store employee and patron is their personal servant.
