Encounters with entitled individuals can sometimes lead to extraordinary and amusing stories.

OP, who transitioned from retail to teaching, was introduced to a subreddit by a friend who found his stories amusing and he now shares a story highlighting his disdain for the mistreatment of retail employees: (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

OP worked as a trainer for a cellphone company for a while and regularly dressed well for professional events, shares a story of being mistaken for an employee due to his attire, particularly his silver nametag, while grocery shopping after work.

OP was at a semi-supermarket with a cart filled with groceries, including frozen items, snacks, and dog food, when he hears a faint noise while browsing spices:

OP heard the dreaded sound of a Karen’s mating call, “Ex-CUSE me?!” while encountering a woman in her forties dressed in questionable attire:

In a desperate attempt to avoid confrontation, OP apologizes for potentially blocking the Karen’s path but soon realizes that she desires more than just aisle access:

OP politely informed Karen that he doesn’t work here:

Karen refuses to believe OP. OP thought to offer assistance with a touch of sarcasm but she stubbornly demands that he guide her to the desired item.

With a mischievous grin, OP guides the Karen towards the rear of the store. As they traverse numerous aisles, he takes delight in hearing her petty complaints about the item being “hidden away” and the inconvenience of having to walk.

Karen started getting frustrated as they were navigating through various store sections. Upon reaching the book section, OP steers the cart and heads down an aisle. Karen was enraged and threatened him to call the manager:

Making a strategic stop at the children’s section, OP picks up a toddler’s spelling book and silently offers her the book. Karen was mad and demanded to see his manager.

The commotion attracted the attention of two employees. One of them contacted the manager via radio while the other approached. OP suggested that the book could help Karen since she seemingly struggles with reading and discerning customers from employees.

Karen’s anger reached a boiling point as the employee arrived, unaware of OP’s remark and greeted them politely. The livid Karen hurled both literal and figurative accusations, throwing the book and unleashing a tirade demanding OP’s immediate termination.

OP takes a step back to avoid any potential collateral damage, calmly waits and seizes the moment to send a text to his wife, informing her of the situation and anticipating sharing a good story with her.

When the manager arrives and attempts to calm down the raging Karen, the nearby employee asks OP about what happened:

After the manager separates the raging Karen and approaches OP, he is bombarded with questions, twisted by the Karen’s embellishments. In a calm tone, OP recounts the encounter:

OP explained how he jokingly offered the Karen a book on the alphabet, highlighting her inability to read, resulting in her throwing the book and demanding his termination. The nearby employee bursts into uncontrollable laughter: Advertisement (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

The infuriated Karen was mad that the employee was laughing but she marches towards the employee and launched into a tirade of complaints:

The manager interrupts the raging Karen, instructing her to stop harassing other shoppers and lower her volume. However, she becomes even more agitated, accusing OP of being the harasser:

The employee who had shared a laugh with OP escorted him back to the grocery section and informed him that Karen would be detained and banned from the store. Advertisement (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Why don’t Karens believe people?

Dog food was for dog:
