Apparently, it only takes 5-cents to trigger a Karen.

Most people want to be left alone when they're running their weekly errands. If you're tall and shopping at a grocery store, then you have probably been asked to help grab something from the top shelf on more than one occasion. In most of those scenarios, a decent human being would indulge the short shopper; that is, so long as they have been decent to you. Here, we have an entitled Karen shopper who had the audacity to grab a tall stranger by his arm and drag him to where she wanted him to hel…

Traumatize them back

Nothing stirs up grocery store rage quite like the "10 items or less" lane offender. When one shopper noticed the woman in front of him breaking the rule with a cart load of items, he tried to politely call her out. But this lady wasn't having it, brushing off his remark and saying, "It's just a little longer wait." Then, her kids joined in on the chaos, running back and forth to add even more items to her pile until she had officially annoyed everyone in line, including the cashier.

Well, that's one way to get the job done!

Many stores have cameras to keep an eye on their employees, but this grocery store worker was totally failed by their workplace's surveillance system. Up next, read about these hilarious group chats gone off the rails, like one person who shared, “My vegetarian sister discovered we were all in a separate group chat... called Secret Meat Up.”

Why is it so hard for customers to understand that sometimes there is simply no way for them to get their way? No, it is not because the 18-year-old employee wants to make your life difficult, and no, it is not out of spite, it is simply because places of work have rules and policies, and there is nothing they can do about it. If a grocery store employee tells a customer that they do not have delivery service, there is no magic spell that will conjure a delivery person to do that job, no matter…

Remember the days before the self-checkout line? These days, you can do self-checkout at maybe half of the places you shop . When you go to a drug store for some shampoo and cleaning supplies, you can expect to ring that up and bag it yourself. At some grocery stores, they want you to scan and bag all your own purchases, not to mention weigh your fruits and veggies and type in the right code for them. It's an irritating thing to some people, but for those who hate waiting in line, a self-checko…

What era does this Karen think we're living in? Clearly, she is in no position to enforce what people should or should not wear in 2024. However, being the Karen she is, she felt entitled to speak up and speak out. For context, this innocent woman stopped by the grocery store to prepare for a BBQ with her husband when another Karen customer accosted her and immediately gave her a hard time about her dress code. The other lady tried to explain that she was not an employee there, to no avail. In…

Turning a power-tripping authority's own methods against them b y adhering rigidly to their strict rules—turning the authority they love so much into their own downfall or to be “Hoist with their own petard,” as Shakespeare would have put it. And there's a reason why this theme is so pervasive throughout history and intriguing to us through to the modern day, the poetic justice of someone's own misuse of authority against them by turning their orders into a perfect act of defiance.

We got places to be, lady

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 a…

Mediocre managers never quite know what to do when their employees speak their minds and are 100% entitled to do so. Here, we have a grocery store employee who posted on social media about the difficulties of making $12.50 per hour as a single mother. It was a difficult and vulnerable post to make publicly for her, but rather than receive sympathy from her manager once she discovered it, instead, her manager took the opportunity to punish the employee for making the post in the first place. Now…

This employee is living the dream: they got out of work, and they also got to be a little sarcastic towards their boss. What a delightful combination! This person shared a story that happened when they were working at a grocery store, and the assured people that it was “by far the worst job I've ever had.” They write that there were a few rules that always had to be abided by, and if not, it would result in a writeup. No matter how silly the rules might seem, they're there for a reason, and man…

When you are a kid, everything feels like much more of a big deal than what it actually is. For example, accidentally leaving a store without paying for something, and then setting off the alarm can make kids feel like their lives are over. Most of the time, everything turns out fine, but it can still be a rather traumatizing experience for a little kid. That is why I really felt for the 10-year-old kid in this Reddit story, especially because all that went down was not even her fault. After tr…

Wisdom is knowing when to let people make their own mistakes . That's especially true in the workplace: knowing when to mind your business is crucial. This grocery store manager , u/SerphynaZee, has a coworker who's an annoying dude. The original poster of this malicious compliance story is stuck with one of the worst kinds of coworkers---the kind who love to boss everyone around, acting like they know the job better than everyone. There are a few ways you can treat a peer that acts this way. Y…
