customer service

Kudos to this stylist for managing to keep a calm demeanor in the face of an entitled Karen. Karen even tries to swing low with that lame threat at the end. Seriously, these kinds of people are the worst. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the strangest encounters that pizza delivery drivers have ever had. At the very least these experiences that pizza delivery drivers are subjected to, should serve as a solid reminder to tip those delivery drivers extra. They have to deal with some genuine madness. People will try to pay for those pizzas with just about anything. 

Customers often suffer from the problem of not knowing what they want, and then being extremely stern demanding that thing. For example, this customer who wanted exactly a pound of wings and got less wings, or this customer who demanded to use an engineless go kart. In this case it was a woman who demanded a refilled donut, and it went about as well as you'd expect.

It's quick little tales like this that manage to temporarily restore our faith in humanity. This dude did not have to intervene when the Karen in front of them was making the Dairy Queen employee's shift all the more unpleasant, but they did. Oh yes, they did, and they did so when it came at zero benefit to them. That's the selfless kindness that the world needs. Plus, picturing Karen's face when she continued to witness someone else actively offsetting her toxic antics. 

If there's one person to not rush or piss off, it's anyone who's repairing an elevator. In this case he leveraged the situation in order to make the whole thing even more frustrating. For some reason some folks don't get that sometimes elevators need to be safely repaired, like this time an elevator technician took revenge on an entitled woman.

Man, it sounds like Chad and his pack of unruly minions were in dire need of a little wakeup call. They really ended up being their own worst enemies. We have no idea what kinds of awful forces compel customers to be so dang insensitive and rude to hard working employees that are just doing the best they can to make it through the day without any hiccups. 

Check out another instance of an entitled mom demanding to speak to a supervisor, and then getting put in her place very quickly. 

This person was just trying to get their machine repaired when some less than professional employees ended up trying to interview them, then reject them from said job. Kind of a strange situation for a customer to be in. For a customer who made it further up the fake professional ladder, this dude impersonated a store manager to boot a horrible customer.

Instead of trusting the staff, this guy decided to be extremely clear about the amount of wings he wanted, and didn't seem to have a very good lock on the concepts of mass and chicken wings. Sometimes ridiculous customer demands can get over the top, and other times a Karen gets defeated with overwhelming kindness.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the wildest stunts that crazed customers pulled while test driving cars. Some people just want to take that shiny new car for a ride to see how fast it can go, or better yet, they're just looking for a free ride. 

This quick Tumblr thread provides some potentially helpful advice on how to go about counteracting the toxic mess that can be a customer service interaction with a Karen or Ken. Tears, apparently are super effective. Takes a real mean, bitter, and senseless soul to continue badgering someone with insults and entitlement, while that person is crying. 

Sometimes customers think they know what they want, and are so pigheaded that they refuse to listen to employees tell them crucial information like "the plate is hot" or "sir, you're eating plastic fruit." In this case it was a dad who demanded to use a go kart with no engine in it. For some more customer service demands, here's one where a customer demanded to speak to a man until he ended up in the legal department.

These kinds of customers are the absolute worst. It's as if they're dedicated to making hard working and honest employee's lives miserable. In this case we have what sounds like a ferocious Karen leave a scathing review/complaint that ultimately inspires the server to quit. Honestly, it's worth it at that point. Can't put a price on peace of mind, and there's always another opportunity out there. 

Every industry has something they don't tell customers and clients. It could be something about the amount of quality control that doesn't happen, the arbitrary nature of pricing, or people getting away with doing the bare minimum. Lies and open secrets in various industries are like the duct tape holding your walls together. Just about any business has some weird tales, like these all-you-can-eat-buffet horror stories.

Karen the customer insisted on speaking to a manager, and came to find out that she was indeed already speaking to the manager. Nothing could quite warm the heart like getting to put a Karen customer in her place, by simply telling the truth. The best part with this particular scenario too, is that when Karen finds out she's already speaking to a manager, she tries and fails again to stir up drama. Best eat somewhere else next time, Karen. 

Check out some more Karen drama with the time that Karen lied to her coworkers about a back injury, and ended up getting spotted at a pool hall.

Karen should've just played nice, but no, she had to go and chew out a hard working employee over a dang milkshake. Fortunately, the employee kept their wits about them, and after a little digging, was able to get Karen a rightful termination for her toxic antics. Check out some more Karen drama with this Karen who asked a man to mow her lawn for 10 bucks.

Nothing warms our hearts like a couple entitled customers with nasty attitudes getting reality checked. These ladies sound like they had a whole lot of growing up to do. Probably a solid move by their manager to fire them after hearing about their antics at the sushi bar. I imagine they'd have caused all kinds of other problems further on down the road.
