Karen Yells At An Autistic Kid Over Bread, Gets Thrown Out

It is undeniably simple to misidentify someone as an employee.

I am confident that we have all done it. I’ve gone to markets before and mistook someone in a black shirt for an employee. However, my typical reaction is to feel embarrassed, apologize, and flee as soon as possible before I melt into a puddle of embarrassment. Although this is not the case for everyone, and some people prefer to compound their errors. It’s as if they believe they can do no wrong and have the right to ask strangers to do their work for them. Not only that, but these stories often include insults that actual employees must endure on a daily basis.

While in this case, these people did not work at the grocery store, would this be acceptable behaviour if they were? And I’ll never understand why, even when told they’re wrong, these Karens refuse to listen and continue to dig their own grave. It’s as if their brain switches off whenever anyone even suggests they’re wrong. But that is precisely why these stories are so important, and I can only hope that these people understand how abhorrent their behaviour is, but I doubt it.

This person never used to post on Reddit before but decided to share a story that happened recently.

We start off with some background information about her little sister.

And then we get right into the story which is clearly a doozy.

They were minding their own business when a woman stalked over to them.

At first, they thought she might be in a hurry.

But it soon became clear that she was talking to OP’s sister.

Not only was she yelling but she was also throwing racial slurs at her.

But it did not end there as she tried to physically harm the little girl.

That is when she went away but that peace didn’t last for long.

She was back once again and this time she brought along a manager.

She was also lying through her teeth to garner sympathy from the manager.

The truth finally came out and it was clear that she was in trouble.

They did end up deciding to press charges against the Karen.

And I am glad that the woman will get what she deserves.

We also got an update on how the little sister is doing.

And it seems like she will need a little help but she will be okay.

I truly sympathize with the sister. Not only is she young, but she also has autism, so this situation must be difficult to deal with. Anyone, even an adult, would be traumatized, so I don’t understand how Karen thought it was acceptable to insult and throw slurs at a young child. I mean she is an 11-year-old so how could she work in a grocery store?  That is what baffles me. This Karen, unless the kid looks like a teenager, must have been very stupid. And how difficult is it to locate bread in the first place? Isn’t there a bread section in most supermarkets?

People in the comments were just as gobsmacked about the ordeal as OP was.

And a lot of people could sympathize with the little girl’s plight.

I am honestly glad that the girl has such a good older sister.

What are your thoughts on the entire situation? Do you believe Karen should be arrested for injuring the child? Should she simply be ignored from now on? What would you do in such a situation? Have you ever had the misfortune of finding yourself in such a situation? If so, please tell us about it in the comments section below.
