'I professionally shutdown Karens & Kens': 21+ Servers share their most satisfying customer shutdown stories

As someone who has worked many years in the service industry let me tell you, when an unruly customer gets what's coming to them, it is the most satisfying feeling in the world. Service industry jobs are usually low pay, you're running around on your feet all day, and you have to deal with the most entitled customers. It's not always like that! Sometimes you have great regulars and a fantastic team. But, unfortunately, those more annoying events are more common. The longer you work in the servi…

'It's the [21st century]'... Nobody had a fax machine': Company requires antiquated method for employees to get paid on time thinking no one would do it, but one heroic employee does it for them all

Ring ring! The 1980s called, they want their fax machines back… Seriously, who has a fax machine anymore? When is the last time you had to fax something? Now we have encrypted emails for private mailing, etc. Faxing? Come on, grandpa. Welcome to the 21st century. Everybody knows that faxing is antiquated. So why did this one company, as told by an ex-employee on Reddit, require employees to fax their timesheets in if they wanted to get paid on time? Sure, OP says this was in 2014, but even by t…

‘Sorry, you told me to leave you alone’: Kid makes a quick $147 in cash by teaching entitled adult a lesson in instant karma after trying to do the right thing and getting met with unkindness

We should really listen to our youth, because sometimes adults learn helpful life lessons from children. For example, an entitled adult who thinks it's okay to treat kids with zero kindness because they're older and “more mature” has a very harsh lesson to learn. You can't be a grown person and act like it's okay to treat everyone around you like you're better than them. Come on, we live in a society, man. Grow up. This story comes from a '90s kid. This millennial was doing what young kids did…

'[Cop] wrote all those drivers tickets': Top 10+ Tales of Instant Karma

You can never exactly predict when and how karma is going to strike. Sometimes, the people who deserve it the most get off easy (for now). But when karma does come into play, the results can be glorious. I'll never forget the time I had a friend who was so insistent that their wedding would happen the way they wanted it to that despite the forecast of good weather, it started to downpour during their outdoor wedding ceremony. It was the kind of climactic situation no one could have predicted (a…

Oh in-laws, aren't they just a couple of peaches? Sarcasm aside, they can truly be great people to enter your life, but the stories we find about them on the internet are often the opposite of that. Sometimes, monster-in-laws are a real life terror. Not always! But sometimes… For example, this Reddit story of a monster mother-in-law. This woman, before coming out and divorcing her than husband, had a mother-in-law who was her frenemy. the mother-in-law would present OP with fake pleasantries an…

‘This all happened because someone stole food from an 18-year-old laborer’: Young blue collar worker uses hot sauce to get back at lunch-stealing coworker, sparks lifelong love for extremely spicy foods

Isn't it wonderful when something that feels like an awful situation actually turns into something beautiful? That's exactly what happened to this young blue collar worker . He was no more than 18 years old and started working construction. As a newbie in many ways, the older and more senior coworkers would pick on him. One guy straight up would steal his food right in front of his face like a high school bully and even asked him, “what're you gonna do about it?!” As retaliation, he did the cla…

‘She thought she was being super clever’: Employee tattles to the boss as a power move to force coworker to cover her Thanksgiving shift, ends up duping herself instead

It's that time of the year again, everybody! When you work at a place that needs to keep running during the holidays. This can include the service industry, retail, and even tech! Bet you have never even thought about how sight security and coding needs to continue smoothly even during the holidays. That means employees are trading shifts left and right to try and get a day off to spend with their loved ones. Most places you can just discuss it like adults amongst your coworkers and figure out…

'[She] got served a massive tray of humble pie': Older sister thinks younger sister's graduation is beneath her, so younger sister gets karma with a classic 'uno-reverse' move

Calling all siblings, this one is a familiar burn. Parents, partners, and besties are supposed to take the high road, but siblings get a pass to the low road. If you're a sibling, you get what I mean. Nobody can talk badly to your sister or brother, that is YOUR job. If you need to teach your sibling a lesson and fight fire with fire, then light it up! Because nobody else is allowed to do that. In this story, however, things may or may not have gone too far… The sisters were prone to squabbling…

Karma is a beast. What goes around, certainly comes back around one day. For those of us who have ever dealt with a coworker's bad behavior– whether they're bad mouthing other employees, stealing lunches from the communal fridge, or just generally being a narc –it's rewarding to see them fall from graces a bit.

Instant karma, just how we like it. So there's this dude behind the bar, serving up drinks for a massive party of around 400 people. And if that ain't stressful enough, in walks the grumpy host who's been acting like a total snob from the moment he strutted in.

Entitled and self-serving people flouting simple rules and common courtesies rarely go unchecked. While you might wish that karma would intervene, it's important to keep in mind that any time you come into contact with someone who is behaving in an unpredictable or antisocial way, the best thing you can do is not engage with them for your own safety.
