Yay, this fun little Tumblr thread involves a barista dude talking about his overwhelmingly positive antics, at the cafe. Sounds like some people get with that energetic flow, while others want nothing to do with the bubbly optimism. Either way, it sounds like this barista is completely at peace with where they are in the game of life, and thus decided to have fun with the moment as it is. Those drink nicknames are something else.

Everyone should just play nice with each other. But instead, we have dudes like this guy "Evan", who run around and spill negative, toxic chaos everywhere. Evan thought he'd play a "game" with his friends by bullying a Tinder match for the way she looked, from afar.
Well, that whole operation definitely went on to catch up with him. I would've loved to have seen that date going down, as it experienced all the (intentional) customer service disasters. I wonder if there was ever a point where it occurred to the dude, "man I wonder if all my negativity is catching up with me?" Maybe, so.
Sometimes people just do away with all social decency, and rude entitlement takes the reins. These particular cases are channeling the power of Karen like none other. Proceed with caution, they very well might bring your blood to a boil.
Sometimes though, Karen gets served up the reality check. Check out the time that a customer turned the tables on Karen over here.
Eat a lemon. Yes, that's the rare insult of the day. Here we have another fine display of an entitled Karen blindly wreaking havoc on otherwise peaceful negotiations. Fortunately, the employee was ready to reject the entitled proposal, and instead serve up a reality check free of charge.
If this interaction left you hungry for more cases of entitlement, then check out these entitled individuals and their never-ending demands.
This fun AskReddit thread has IT workers describing the most ridiculous requests/calls/occurrences they've had while on the job. IT workers really need to possess a superhuman level of patience to navigate the ins and outs of their jobs, while maintaining a grip on sanity. It's astounding how many people call for tech support, before checking to see if the computer is plugged in.
This little interaction, real or not, was just what we needed to brighten up the day. Just picturing an elderly man making off with a big old TV, and having his granddaughter try to run cleanup on his forgetfulness is quite hilarious. Maybe he'll accidentally take a car next.
Some customers assume that because customer service exists, they can just go right on with turning their brains off. That's not exactly how it works. A little common sense is required. And not only a little common sense, but how about some common decency as well? These tweets about customers being completely wrong, are a solid showcase in how the customer is certainly not always right. Yes, Karen can be wrong.
The concept of a Karen is outlined by someone with crazy entitlement and a superiority complex, specifically targeted at anyone they deem "lesser than" such as servers and customer service reps. Anyone working retail sees people like this all the time, and their Karen behavior is so outrageous that they're like a cartoon. What people forget is that sometimes people have to live with them.
Customers have a long and storied history of asking for things that will actively do them harm, like this Karen who wanted donuts straight out of the fryer oil. The thought of giving a customer an extremely hot cup of liquid harkens back to the reality of the McDonald's hot coffee case, which no person working at a coffee place wants to repeat. Anyway this lady asked for some real hot tea and she got it.
Good for this dude. After what sounds like a totally innocent mishap, where they went to the wrong Thai restaurant to grab their lunch, and weren't able to get over to the right Thai restaurant before getting back to work; they ultimately decided to make good on the ghosted order, days later. Following up to right wrongs like that can make an unimaginably positive impact upon another human being's state of existence.
The tables have turned. Yes, this fun AskReddit thread asks employees how they'd review their customers if the whole Yelp review process were flipped. Maybe providing a space for employees to write up their customers for rude behavior and irritating antics would ultimately serve to raise awareness in those most severe cases of entitled customers. If this thread leaves you hungry for more content about working in the industry, check out the worst customers that people ever dealt with.
Some customers are the true, living definition of clueless. It's like their brains switch to a mindless, auto pilot state upon entering an establishment. Or maybe the customer is mentally with it, but decided to leave social decency at the door, before entering. No thank you. These folks share their experiences navigating the worst customers they've ever had.
This employee deals with cases of entitled and angry customers by pretending to get fired in front of the customers. It sounds like it's a prank of sorts, done so to maybe make the customers more aware of how they're treating people. You'd think that most people wouldn't feel too hot about being mean to someone just doing their job, right before they lose said job.
With so many retail businesses closing and laying off workers, some of the only retail jobs left right now are work in grocery stores. So this does seem like a weird time for these. With that said, retail and customer service memes are relatable to literally anyone who has ever worked retail ever in there life, so cosmically, it makes sense.
