Old Man Refuses To Leave Grocery Store When There’s A Fire, Asks Cashier To Bill His Groceries Instead Of Running

When a fire breaks out in the grocery store and you’re forced to stay because a grumpy Karen wants their chicken stock, it’s time to leave. The author of this thread, u/ThePathUntaken, remembers a moment when not even an actual fire could stop this man Karen from being a Karen. He posted it to Reddit’s r/EntitledPeople community. The manager ordered everyone to leave the store, but one 70-year-old man named Gerald insisted on having his seven goods rung up (questions: are individuals named Gerald and Ethel usually called that before they become senior citizens because I have never known a teenager named Gerald?).

Anyway, the Redditor rang up the merchandise while smoke filled the aisles because he didn’t want the altercation to go worse. When you sense the want to prioritize your safety over your safety in the workplace, you know there is a problem with workplace dynamics. Gerald eventually left after the Redditor asked his boss to step in. Gerald made a point of complaining about his poor customer service experience even after the manager allowed him to skip paying so he could leave with his purchases. Do you know what else falls short? having to process a customer’s purchases as a fire grows all around you.
