The cashier instantly starts yelling at me that I am being a Karen and they weren't going to do anything for me. I said look that is over half my hourly pay and I just want my money back. She starts doing the clap with every word. You're a ignorant B and we are no longer going to serve you.

'Cashier instantly starts yelling at me': Crazy cashier curses out customer, caller her a 'Karen' after messing up her order

We often talk about Karens unleashing their wrath upon underserving workers who are just trying to make rent this month, but what happens when that shoe is on the other foot? What about the stories where the customer is just trying to make a reasonable request and gets verbally body-slammed by the employee? It's always important to remember that both can happen and that there are two sides to every story; The truth is (usually) wedged somewhere in between. If we'd seen the cashier telling this…

“I’m in touch with somebody else that works here, I don’t need your help” “OK” | He was just too good for me to talk to him. He thought he was better than me. So I decided not to ever look at him or deal with him again.

'I’m in touch with somebody else': Guy too good for event worker's credential help, gets to wait for ages instead

It's important not to succumb to the sweet nectar of hubris. When we begin to think too much of ourselves, we invite the certainty that we will be made fool of.

How I screwed over a racist, horrible, bigoted business owner and likely resulted in him going out of business faster.| This occurred in a southern state (I won't mention the state...cause, well, you'll see :))

'I'm charging him full rate': Account manager screws over bigoted client and runs them out of business

Some people don't deserve to be in business, unfortunately, these jerks' and bigots' ruthless business practices often make them more successful instead of causing them to fail. That is unless they're incredibly stupid or someone intervenes to put an end to them. Both of those things happened in this story as shared by an account manager, u/redditadmindumb87, to the r/prorevenge subreddit. In their story, they describe a terrible client of theirs who “was a royal PITA." He was racist and bigote…

"AITA for asking a bakery if the pastries they were selling me were made that day? I went to a bakery when they opened (7 AM) asking about pastries; she told me that* the ones I wanted were not ready yet."

'She was extremely offended.' Rude dude demands fresh pastries despite already being told they were fresh

The unspoken meaning of words can say more than the words themselves. For this reason, it's always best to guard one's words carefully to ensure that you don't accidentally give the wrong impression or make the wrong implication. That's what this guy failed to consider when he basically accused a bakery owner of lying to him when he insisted on receiving only fresh pastries. He had already been into the bakery earlier in the day and been told that the pastry he was after was not ready yet. When…

Delivery driveer | r/idontworkherelady | "He screamed. I replied with the same statement I told the lady, but in a softer tone to attempt to de-escalate this man. As I am in mid-sentence, he pushed me back hard."

'As I am in mid-sentence, he pushed me back': Enraged customer attacks delivery driver over delivery time

It's no great secret that people tend to get worked up about things that really just aren't worth it. Sure, waiting for an unexpectedly long amount of time for your food can be frustrating, and by the time it arrives it's usually cold, but you're forced to begrudgingly eat it in the state that it's in because your hunger has reached unbearable levels. People tend to get irrational when they're hungry but going as far as to attack a delivery driver over a late delivery is downright insane, espec…

"Someone else took their food out, but I go to do the check-back and ask if everything's OK with their meal after a few minutes.  He then goes, "No, my meal didn't come with any sauce", to which I reply "I'm sorry, what sauce would you like Sir?" [...] He goes "Mustard, Dijon Mustard" like he's James Bond."

'I am not paying!': Rude dude demands dijon mustard under duress of displeasure

It's okay to feel a little bit sentimental about your favorite type of sauce. I, for one, am a ketchup guy through and through, you won't catch me far away from a little red bottle that's packed with that sweet tomato-y goodness. Sure, the actual contents of ketchup are probably like 80% sugar, 19% vinegar, and 1% ketchup but that's not something that bothers me in the slightest. I'll eat ketchup on anything and am happy for the disgusted reactions that my creations sometimes evoke. So, in this…

‘Stop wasting time and follow the job order’: Service rep tries to save rude customer from order error and complies with their arrogant response

It's only natural for a customer service rep to try and save you from a grave error. In most situations, they would have no requirement to do so, but ensuring that they have a happy customer receiving the desired product will make their job easier in the long run, no matter how altruistic they intend to be, by correcting a response. There's nothing worse than being contacted by an angry customer insisting that they didn't order exactly what they ordered and received. In this situation, people c…

Frustrated Karen Gets Customer Fired From a Store Where He Didn't Even Work

This guy was fired from a store he didn't even work at after an enraged Karen insisted on his termination. He posted to Reddit's popular r/IDontWorkHereLady in order to share his story. Thanks to retrogressive policies like “The customer is always right" we have conditioned all of these entitled people in the world to think that they can get everything their way. The sad thing is that they are often completely right and they have this worldview reinforced time and time again by constant arse ki…

"We had a great interaction, talked about guinea pig needs, nutrition, etc.” "80% on my mystery shop score because I forgot to ask the GP’s name.
