We're not sure what kind of person tries to spray paint a four hundred dollar vase, but it makes sense that it's the same kind of person who demands that the store she bought it from pay for her mistake. We're kind of hoping this customer is lying about the whole thing in order to defraud the store, but given the stupid-ass customers we've dealt with in our own lives, she's probably telling the idiotic truth. For a triumphant story of an employee who actually gave an awful customer a piece of their mind, check out this cashier who told off a Karen and lived.

Oh Rhonda had this one coming! The Uber driver masterfully executed a satisfying revenge on one insufferably snobby and impatient customer. We really wonder if it wouldn't be better to just have called her Karen.
Uber drivers see us at our very worst. Whether you're stumbling your way into a drunken 2am ride home after closing out the bars with a reckless abandon, or in all kinds of disarray after crashing at a stranger's place; they get to sit there, get you home, and maybe stay quiet about the state of things if you're lucky. Just make sure you leave them 5 stars!
Bus drivers are just trying to make it through another day without having to deal with too much of anyone's careless BS. You can help the cause by reading up on some stuff they really wish that their customers knew about.
Working retail, you get to see an amazing number of characters stroll through the front door. There's always something new around the corner, ready to completely derail your day, make you miss your lunch break, and in rare cases, actually make you sort of happy. This Tumblr user documented their first few days of working at a Target, and the world did not disappoint. For more retail stories, check these horror stories from Hot Topic employees.
If you've spent any time in the world of retail, you're familiar with the type of customer who, no matter how wrong they are from the start, will never take no for an answer. They will be rude and insufferable to employees for nothing more than the satisfaction of "winning" a social interaction. Well their kids don't like them either.
Here are the stories of cashiers, customer service reps, delivery drivers, service people and retail workers of all stripes who had to deal with the dumbest, most irrational, and outright furious customers to grace the planet. Man, these people suck. We understand why you'd be mad if a company actually wronged you, but to make impossible demands and turn into an abusive monster is completely out of the question. Here's a story of a cashier who talked back to a Karen and lived.
Look out! Disciplinary action is imminent! This collection of angry notices was served up by some very likely enraged managers that were sick and tired of their employees' BS. That or they just had a rough day and needed some place to redirect their case of rage.
McDonald's employees are exposed to humans doing their absolute worst on a regular basis. Often times the experience of working at McDonald's sounds like an absolute waking nightmare. These tweets are further proof of that reality....
Anyone who's worked on the floor of any kind of store is gonna be reminded of a time when there was a customer they just couldn't deal with. Thank god for the good managers out there. This one is weirdly reminiscent of that old story, The Three Billy Goats Gruff. For a triumphant retail story of someone in customer service who actually got to speak their mind, check out this cashier who told off a Karen and lived.
We're a fan of any story where a rude customer fails to get away with being miserable to a retail employee who's done nothing wrong. We're also fans of surprises and drama where people get super pissed, double-down and make even bigger asses of themselves. For a strikingly similar story where a customer bad-mouthed an employee in a different language before having the tables turned, check this out.
Karen doesn't mess around when it comes to her milkshake! Fortunately, this example of a Karen going off, finds a happy ending in a satisfying revenge tale. We don't think she'll be stirring up trouble again anytime soon when it comes to her DoorDash milkshake delivery. Tough luck, Karen!
"Can I speak to your manager" type customers get the full ire of the internet, and even their own children. This instance in particular sure is a rare sight to behold. In all of the crazy stories we hear of massively entitled people being complete jerks to anyone in retail, almost never do these wild customers ever get a piece of someone's mind. And not only that, this employee actually got away with it. Amazing.
This lying customer vastly underestimated the restaurant owner's course of action after they left a 1-star review. In this case, we have a sweet case of the actual receipts getting served up. Can't lie when facts are brought to the table like that!
