It must be difficult to be a barista if you don't like to make coffee. Or to be clear, it seems like some baristas look down on anyone who doesn't like their coffee black. They seemingly have a personal vendetta against the vast majority of coffee drinks who don't want their bean juice to be bitter and scalding. Lots of people love frappes or lattes or any number of blended coffee drinks, and this love is fueled by social media “secret menu” hacks. When social media was in its younger years, a…

If you enjoy reading stories about entitled people who think the world revolves around them, then you're going to want to stick around for this story. So, a woman goes to pick up her Starbucks coffee after ordering through the app, only to be forcefully confronted by a Karen who gets infuriated when she sees that people who ordered online get their drinks before her.

How bad would your drink have to taste before you start pouring it out on the ground ? This woman did just that, in a video she filmed herself, after getting a drink she disliked at a local coffee chain. Some coffee chains are woefully inept at making a drink. I stopped going to a local Dunkin because my order is just cold brew with cream, with light ice. Those are just three ingredients, and yet I never get quite what I've asked for. Sometimes they give me extra ice (are they spiteful of my li…

Don't bite the hand that feeds you. For folks who work late night shifts, it's more important to remember the mantra, 'don't bite the hand that caffeinates you!' When you have a good rapport with your local barista, good things can happen. When you make an enemy out of your coffee server… You're gonna have a bad time.

Two can play this game.

You do not want to get into business with this Karen. In fact, you do not want your business to be anywhere near her business. Otherwise, she'll be under the impression that she is in charge of you and will therefore start making ridiculous demands as if she's your employer. Of course, this wasn't the case, but in a Karen's warped perspective of the world, facts do not seem to matter. This two-part thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/beverage5997 , who spoke of numerou…

These siblings have been working together, but their opposing management styles have been causing friction. After working as a barista during their youth, u/Unfair_Baker7448 got the chance of a lifetime. Years later, they were able to open a coffee shop of their own. It's not even their full-time job, but when they feel like it, they go play barista at their coffee shop . OP writes that they enjoy getting to meet new people, drink great coffee, and have something to do during their down time. H…

Nothing will stop a Karen who's in need of her caffeine! The concept of a line? Not on her radar. How about being polite to the barista who's taking her order? Nope. What about patience? Forget about it. We don't expect patience from the Karens of the world. How foolish are we at this point? This is 2023, after all! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/HotSeaworthiness8479 , who was working at an understaffed coffee shop at the time that was also the most popular o…

This is what you get for installing that dating app

Working as a barista, you get to meet a bucketload of the general population, most of whom are wildly entitled, despite the fact that underneath their short blond haircut and agitated pointing finger, they're just like you: a human being. Unfortunately, customers were either brought up without manners and never managed to get a knack for them, or they were brought up with manners, and chucked them out the second they turned 18. In any case, OP was working as a barista at a cafe, when a Karen re…

Karen might go about her day thinking she won, but we know the truth.

They say you should choose your battles in life, but some people love to fight every single battle that comes their way. Maybe it's just the way they were raised, being taught that confrontation will always get you your way. But in reality, treating every minor issue like a huge deal just makes everyone around you roll their eyes. In a story told to the r/EntitledB**** subreddit, u/HBiggle shared a story of a Karen who accosted them while they worked as an attendant on a train. Being a train at…

Staff working in the service industry are often greeted by unruly Karen customers who march in like they own the place, demanding discounts and ordering them around. Often because of poor management, the staff are forced to deal with the impolite attitude quietly inside their heads, as opposed to talking back and standing up for themselves. In this case, OP was working as a barista at a coffee shop where they served such a Karen customer, who happened to be a regular. Karen was manageable up un…

It must have taken a ton of willpower for this guy to maintain his composure.

Unpacking after a trip is something you either do as soon as you get home, or three weeks later, and those are the only options. Sometimes, you get back from a trip and put the entire suitcase away ASAP so that you can chill out and unwind after the journey. Other times, you've had so much fun that you're too tired to put away your luggage, and you just ignore it for a while until you gather the strength to put your stuff away . Anyway, this person's MIL is in that first category of people. She…

Every so often, you get to re-enforce your own boss's strict rule back at them.
