The mighty hubris of another horrible customer comes crashing down. For whatever reason, some customers really hold onto that "customer is always right" approach even when they're told that that they're not actually talking to an employee. Irate customers mistake random people for employees all the time, and the results are wonderful.

Every once in a while the wild Karen will mistake a stranger for an employee and direct their abuse at a fellow customer. while that doesn't sound like much of an improvement, the lack of professional courtesy frees up their target to say whatever they want to back. The extra level of dramatic irony makes stories like these all the sweeter.
"Karen" ended up getting caught up in the quite the shady business practice. Apparently, she had been disregarding and shredding employees leave requests. Fortunately, the CEO was around to catch Karen in the act, and ended up making it right. Karen, ended up getting fired.
Karens have a really hard time mistaking other people for employees. This time around it was a pottery student who got trapped in the telescopic sights of a wild Karen who refused to believe that she was talking to a person who actually couldn't fulfill her demands.
Someone on AskReddit asked for waiters/servers to share their most satisfying and savage clapbacks to unruly customers. The armies of Karens weren't ready to meet their match with these members of customer service that quite frankly, had had enough. Everyone has their breaking point, and rude customers will themselves into forgetting that eventually someone's going to check them on their entitled BS.
Anyone who's ever muddled through working a customer service job knows how much more hellish a day can be made, when there's a wild Karen on the loose. For the rest of the people lucky enough to not have to deal with irate customers as part of their job, it's even weirder when you get the individual in a blind rage who is convinced that you work for a place you're shopping at yourself. It's a terrible combination of entitlement, rage, and stupidity. The customers are failing without even realizing it, and then when you tell them that you don't work there, they get even madder.
Oh Karen, just cause you don't have insurance doesn't mean you can rely on perfect strangers to pay for your car's damages. To make matters even better with this fine tale of Karen entitlement, it sounds like she found the original post that called her out, and wanted to sue the person over it. As it turns out, Karen doesn't have a whole lot of ground to stand on.
If you've ever worked retail or any customer-facing job, you will have met a customer who was disrespectful, entitled, treated you like an object and made some demand that store policy doesn't actually honor. With their sticky-fingered kids, boorish husbands and shrill battle cry of "the customer is always right" a Karen is a customer service person's personal nightmare. That's why we take extra joy in stories of entitled Karens who park in disabled spots and get tricked by parody customer service accounts. Oh and also when they demand their children get to taste painful hot sauce. There's a lot of fun times to be had.
There are some delusional customers out there. Luckily, sometimes bystanders have sympathy for employees who have to deal with a freaking out Karen and decide to get some petty parking revenge in response. When this guy noticed his favorite gas station attendants getting bossed around, he decided to take some extra time.
Sometimes people manage to play themselves, and the results are satisfying. Anyone who works in retail or the service industry can recall a time when they had to deal with an entitled customer. Rarely these interactions end in the favor of the employee, but sometimes they do, like this time a woman freaked out at Chuck E. Cheese, or the time this Karen ended up paying for her coupon.
Karen really played herself on this one. When a mere $10 coupon was mistakenly sent to her address, she thought it'd be a good idea to threaten the retailing company that she'd sue them if they didn't fork over $1,000 in cash. She assumed she'd scare them into complying, and she couldn't have been more wrong. There was a badass attorney with a southern drawl who was more than ready to leap at a chance to sue "Karen." And the rest is history. She ended up having to pay over a thousand bucks, all because she started up some beef over a $10 coupon.
We're big fans of seeing disrespectful customers getting taught lessons by employees, so it seems natural that if an entitled customer demands to stupidly expose themselves to a crazy hot hot sauce, you let them guzzle it down, by god. She claimed that it wasn't actually spicy to save face, but we all know she lost the battle.
When this parking lot "Karen" decided she'd cut a guy off who actually needed the disabled parking lot spot, he maintained composure, and took one very satisfying and clever revenge on her. To make matters even better, he waited around to hear the extent to which she proceeded to lose her shit. Let's just say she had one definite emotional explosion.
This absolute legend named his Facebook account "Customer Support" and proceeded to troll an army of angry "Karens" to oblivion. The one thing that this troll arguably overstepped on, was when he dampened the reputation of the employees in each company. They're already working hard enough as it is! Otherwise, this is pure gold.
