More to the point, those abandoned bags instantly get treated as having explosives in them, even if past the security checkpoint, her idiocy could have delayed a few flights at that point if someone really panicked.
According to the story, this was back in the ‘80s, before today’s really stringent security measures were put in place. The Karen probably just got reticketed for another flight, and her luggage collected by security and returned to her. But, hey: at least she didn’t fly on OPs plane that day!

A full suit of armor like his (going off the photo) would be around 5 grand, definitely more if it was custom fitted to his frame ($7,500 up to 10s of thousands). A good friend of mine does the sword fighting competitions/reenactments at shows and his full suit was custom fitted to him and it ran $8,000 (give or take a few 100). Almost all real suits of armor are hand made by a legit blacksmith and this is why they are the price of a used car, but they are awesome and in person you can see the insane detail that went into making it
Can confirm, my SO does the same and his ran about that much. Though he bought his piece by piece through different blacksmiths who specialized in each piece. I had to measure him in every dimension to send to the makers since it's essentially metal clothes. (most people also buy a special set of padded armor to go under the outer layer because armor isn't great to wear on it's own.)
@@jamessparks7728 A full suit can weigh upwards of 100lb, plate armour for a big man will be at least 140lb depending on the gauge (thickness) as decorative plate is much thinner than fighting plate

Same in the US. Bags left unattended are assumed to be filled with incendiary devices or drugs. If I were the pilot, I would have also mentioned to the gate agent that I spotted some suspicious, abandoned bags lying around, and let her know exactly where they were so Airport Security could confiscate and examine them. Can't be too careful, eh? 😉
I would imagine that the woman who thought the pilot was a bellboy probably told her family about how she tried to get the "bellboy" to do his job, but the bellboy refused and kept pretending to be the captain.
Story 2: Tell me you are a rich out of touch entitled trust fund baby, without telling me you are a rich out of touch entitled trust fund baby Last Story: A full suit of proper armour would cost thousands, to tens of thousands, but a cheap cosmetic armour set. Made out of thin gauge metal with zero defensive capability and made to look cool could be bought for a few hundred to maybe a thousand for a good one. What makes real armour so expensive (other than the materials) is it's always bespoke, handmade and made to fit one person.
Right? I briefly worked as a chainsmith at faires, and my suits started at $2,000. Chain tabards were $1,000 before the final cloth, and a custom design there ranged from $250 to another thou. Dude wore a suit hunting (which, why? The noise would scare EVERYTHING away) and sent me an email later----apparently someone's round caromed off a rock and the suit stopped it. Either that, or dudebro literally got shot. Given the habits of people who hunt and drink at the same time, I'm not sure which I believe more.
Please, don't insult witches like that, they're just spiritual humans who uses nature stuff to do their own businesses, the Karen is just straight up a b1tch
I worked for Walmart for 3 years and they told us not to help people when we were off the clock instead they wanted us to find someone who was on the clock to help them. But sometimes people are just big assholes and don't want to listen. So I would just walk away like I didn't see nor hear anything lol. Love your videos Peace and love to you and your family 💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡
Current employee here Far as I can tell, it's not just that they don't *want* us to do anything work related while off the clock, it's that for legal reasons we *can't* do work related things while off the clock.
That's the right way. But be careful turning your back on any potential threat. Do not engage. Do not explain. But watch your back. Many of these types sound actually mentally unhinged.
@@cyndib511 which seems to be one of the hiring requirements for all Walmart managers. I worked there briefly back in the early 2000s and when I was about to get my medical benefits, I was suspiciously fired for “work-related performance issues” and for profanity. I'm not going to lie and say I don't swear, I do. The fact that they singled me out when the smokers area had some of the foulest language that would have made a sailor blush. There was one nasty older lady who I will call out by her real name because she's no doubt dead by now Phyllis, who went on racist tirades against the people who shopped and came through her line. Nothing ever happened to her. As far as work-related issues? I was never late and I always did my job. I also suspect the reason why I was canned was because I complained about my food missing from the break room fridge and that someone had vandalized my car with a certain homophobic slur on it. Despite there being cameras in the parking lot, they couldn't get a good look at who did it or when it happened or so they claimed. It would have been an HR nightmare, but with uncooperative management, it would have hit a wall before it got any traction.
I HATE that old saying, " no good deed goes unpunished. " I still refuse to help that woman, I go to my manager if that Karen said my manager and have him tell her that I'm on my day off.
21:09 that's actually really cool armor, OP! I can definitely see how that Karen would be intimidated. A person in a suit of armor can actually be quite fearsome.
Story 4: So OP dad is mad at his child standing up for a employee from a Karen. Wow just wow. What a Karen move for the dad. The kid doesn’t like yelling so the kid told the Karen what he thought and who his dad was. So why is the dad getting angry at his kid. If I was the kids mom, I would yell at the dad for yelling at the kid.” Don’t be assholes to people.
Evt. it was his business mind because one unsatisfied customer can cost you hundreds of new customers. On the other side satisfied customers doesn't have that impact. That is why many businesses accept everything a..hole customers do. They do what they think it's easy and in short sight better for business and not what it is right.
Lol, that airline story. That lady should just be grateful this wasn't post-9/11 air travel, or her bag would have been taken out on the tarmac and blown up on top of her being removed by security. XD The idea of just... throwing your bag at a total stranger and expecting this to end in something other than federal criminal charges. What a weird thought in this day and age. Bet she was planning on lighting up a cigarette on the plane, too.
#2 Karen : «I want this bell boy...». Gate agent, asking the pilot that Karen called «bell boy» : «Captain ? ...». At that moment, Karen should have realized that she screwed herself big time. #3 That Karen is the kind who can't learn. Even pressing charges against him won't have any effect on his behaviour and pathological entitlement. #6 Yes, OP was the Perfect guy to call in that situation. Impressive and intimidating. Exactly what was needed to take care of that jerk. Very nice set of armour by the way.
That last story was so awesome! I love the way OP went with it and told that guy off, and it was nice that he let people take pictures with him, too. He seems like such a stand-up guy
Some owners/managers don’t know the difference between ‘good’ customers and ‘regular’ customers, it’s rather common in those positions to forget the definitions of the words.
Story 2: Last time I was at an airport, with carry-on luggage cause standby, there weren't any bell boys who carried your luggage for you, if I remember correctly, probably because all the luggage people are busy loading luggage into the plane itself, lady was so delusional, she made up a bell-boy position on the spot, because she hated carrying her luggage, don't do that.
There used to be people that help carry luggage but that pretty much stopped in the 70s. While there may still be some they won't be dressed like flight crew.
"My movie is about to start!" "That's a shame. You should have set your alarm five minutes earlier I guess. Sucks to be you." Like, your movie is about to start, so you're going to make everyone else who budgeted their time late to their movie.
Last story: In Germany we have a saying: "Kleider machen Leute!" (Clothing makes people!) I'm working in my business just 4 years, but by wearing an old dirty apron people believe that i have lots of experience.... Also, when i'm wearing my Native American outfit, all people step aside when i come along. Wearing the right outfit works sometimes as a shield, it gives you the confidence that nothing can hurt you!
I dress as a Police Officer for my work at a Police Museum and one day, whilst out flyering, I chanced across a fender bender which looked like it was going to get ugly. One guy made to swing but spotted me in my uniform, quickly dropped his arm, smiled and recommended they swap details and let the Insurers sort it out. And I never said a thing.
For the lady who dropped her bags in an airport and walked away I'd be tempted to call airport security and let them know that there's a bunch of unattended bags. Tell them the truth but the lady walked up dropped her bags and then hustled away to take a flight.
Story 3 Ah the fun of capitalism! I had a boss, while working in retail, who absolutely did not care for us. One of my colleagues was threatened and he forbid us from calling the police. Unpaid over time was expected. He didn't care how customers treated us. He didn't care if we got injured. He would yell at us and insult us for tiny mistakes. And so on! And my favorite story: The minimum wage was raised. One of the cleaners informed him that he was paying her below the new minimum wage. She was fired, for "insubordination" and "unbecoming conduct". She worked for him for over 20 years! Basically: If he could make a single euro more by trampling over your corpse, he would do it!
@@wolphin732 his family is the definition of "fuck you money". He is basically untouchable, because he can afford the best lawyers in the region and is "personal friends" with a lot of influential people. So if I didn't want to move, I had to let it go.
The OP of the "Suit of Armor" story was someone after my own heart. I would have loved to buy a suit of armor at that age, and I was a similar height with an even thinner build at 17. It's awesome that he was able to defeat that "dragon" of a male Karen!
Story 5: OP stole my story. This happened to me years ago when I worked retail. This guy was the biggest POS. I finally told the guy to piss off. I can’t help you and I refuse to be yelled at. I hung up and ten minutes later the guys wife called back to apologize.
I never accept an apology on behalf of someone else. All it says to me that this is not the first time and that they are not going to change as others make excuses for them.
I work at Walgreens as a cashier in the store area, not in the pharmacy. When I first started working there I was not told how to transfer their calls, so I used to page them on the overhead. If they didn't pick up the call in a certain amount of time, the call would ring back to my phone. If they were really busy, they wouldn't answer the phone. I can't remember how many times the customer would get mad at me because they didn't pick the call up. And yes, a few times someone told me to go to the pharmacy and tell them to pick up the phone. I tried to explain that I am cashiering in the store and can't just walk away from customers at the register in the front of the store to walk to the pharmacy at the back of the store. (As if they are going to pick up the phone just because I tell them to.) Someone finally told me how to transfer the call so that it stays there and doesn't ring back. So now I always transfer the call. But there's more. When they answer the phone they say "Walgreens Pharmacy", which obviously we don't. And yet I still all the time get customers that just start talking about their prescription or their doctor told them this and I try to say "Excuse me" and they keep rambling on so I have to say it a couple more times before they pause and I tell them "This isn't the pharmacy. Let me transfer you". Oh, the joy of working retail.
The "bellboy" story: She left her bags, out of her posession. TSA would LOVE to discuss this for her. A no-fly list might cool her ardor for following "bellboys" around the concourse.
See in that first story, the Karen probably told someone what she did and that person pointed out that she's a garbage human and she was mortified and never interacted with OP again. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
Story 1: Seriously, don't go to work on your day off, or anywhere near it. If you must get something, have it delivered, have someone else get it for you, or, as a last resort, get it before or after your shift. Then you can tell the Karen, either at the start of your shift, "one moment I'll be right with you", or at the end, carrying stuff, "I'm helping someone else right now and will be a while, please find another associate." You don't have to specify that the "someone else" is yourself and "a while" is the two minutes it takes to carry your merchandise to your car, plus whatever time you have off until you next clock in.
The Captain did the right thing refusing to carry that Karen. It's right there in the regulations: 14 CFR § 91.17(b) "Except in an emergency, no pilot of a civil aircraft may allow a person who appears to be intoxicated ... to be carried in that aircraft." Notice that the person doesn't have to be _proven_ to be intoxicated; they only have to _appear_ to be intoxicated. If, in the pilot's judgement, they appear to be intoxicated, that's good enough. It all goes back to § 91.3(a) "The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the operation of that aircraft."
RE: Knight I used to do con security at 90s CreationCons. They used people from the local Klingon clubs, so we were mostly in costume. It's amazing how much you can get away with dressed as a Klingon. People just don't talk back.
Story 2: Leaving your luggage in the public like that, whether it's an airport, train station or customs checkpoint, can raise suspicion about bomb attacks. That Karen just risked being on a terror watchlist for what? Harassing an airline pilot?
Karen: I am the daughter of the owner. I WILL get you fired OP: Oh! I didn't know that the primates in the zoo nearby could own property and a business?!
Story 4: dad went from being the worst kind of boss we've all had (seriously? I'm not "allowed" to stand up for a friend? F that.) to at least admitting that telling off a rude customer was a good move. We love to see character growth.
FYI: I'm an actual armorer for the SCA, and real functional suits of armor like this, not built to current sword sport dueling standards (HEMA), run from about $1000 on the bottom end to upwards of $5000 i would estimate that one is in the $1500-$2000 range... and pretty nice work to boot. if it is built to HEMA standards double or possibly triple that price.
Here's a pro tip: when going to a movie theater, always arrive an hour or so before your movie starts ànd you'll have plenty of time to get your treats before the show begins!
Story 1: Hold out your hand and ask if she's gonna pay. If you're on the clock just for her, she needs to pay, since it's work. Or does she think people work for free? 🤔
Story 1: Karen knew that OP wasn't getting paid and still tried to make them do her dirty work, if it was me i'd say that i'd gladly do the work but charge her a fee for making me work on my day off
From what I know Fluff the answer to your question about the cost of armor will put you in the range of 700-1000 bucks depending on 1) where you buy it 2) the quality of the metal and design 3) how renowned the seller is
I worked for a local government agency; I once had a lady call me when she really needed a county agency. She was very insistent that I transfer her to that agency and I told her that wasn't possible. She was insistent that I could. Even after explaining multiple times I couldn't, because they were on a totally different phone system. Finally I said I couldn't do it any more than she could transfer me to my sister on her phone. After saying that, she finally understood why I couldn't do as she wanted.
Story 3 reminds me of the time that I was moving to another country. The house was emptied, everything was packed in the van and we were staying overmight at a hotel before catching the train, while my son-in-law and daughter were driving the van to our new home. The hotel offered breakfast. We went into the testaurant. There was only us, my son and me, and a loud American family of four. But every dish in the breakfast area was empty. The servers came out with frash dishes. We got up, but because of disabilities it took me a while to reach the breakfast area. The Americans got there first and cleaned it out. Five minutes later, they did the same again with hte next fresh batch. I told the head server that we were going to miss our train if this carried on. The American family were entitled, selfish and greedy. I've lived in the US, I have family there, but I have never met the likes of them before or since. And I'm glad of it.
Your comment after the lady wanting to reach the Pharmacy was, "I hope it wasn't an emergency". Today almost all, if not all, Dr. offices and pharmacy's have a recording that says if this call is a medical emergency, hang up and dial 911, so I doubt this was an emergency.
I knew people that had armor like that for events held by a group called The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) and full plate armor is around $5,000 USD as it is fitted to the person wearing it. I saw 16 gauge helms that went for upwards of a thousand dollars with all the padding and leather straps to hold it in place. I would have been laughing like crazy watching the Rectal Cranial Invert stammer his way into leaving.
Oh, FOR SURE. You can be the nicest of guys with the most polite words to say - but wrapping them up in a hundred pounds of steel turns them into terrifying beasts of steel and leather!
Today, I had an amazing encounter at Target - I was shopping and the price scanner at the end of the aisle wasn't working - I walked up to an employee who was filling orders for people, asked if she could scan the price for me - which she did without incident, and then she said "Oh, are you Red Circle? If you are look it up in your app - you'll get a 20% coup on" - I love it when people are kind and patient.
Last story: If it were me, I'd get crouch down and start examining his worth as an organ donor. "His eyes say liver damage, so no liver, and chances are his kidney is shot too... Are you a heavy drinker?" The fact I said he had liver damage would mess with him,.giving him another fear.
That would be a dream experience of karma justice with the knight costume, it's like being in a house while your friends persuade the town bullies to come in saying that it is haunted and making them think that it's just a bluff. Then scaring the piss out of them.

Story 2: Tell me you are a rich out of touch entitled trust fund baby, without telling me you are a rich out of touch entitled trust fund baby
Last Story: A full suit of proper armour would cost thousands, to tens of thousands, but a cheap cosmetic armour set. Made out of thin gauge metal with zero defensive capability and made to look cool could be bought for a few hundred to maybe a thousand for a good one. What makes real armour so expensive (other than the materials) is it's always bespoke, handmade and made to fit one person.
Right? I briefly worked as a chainsmith at faires, and my suits started at $2,000. Chain tabards were $1,000 before the final cloth, and a custom design there ranged from $250 to another thou.
Dude wore a suit hunting (which, why? The noise would scare EVERYTHING away) and sent me an email later----apparently someone's round caromed off a rock and the suit stopped it.
Either that, or dudebro literally got shot. Given the habits of people who hunt and drink at the same time, I'm not sure which I believe more.
Story 1: Lesson learned. Never help an entitled witch Karen, especially when you’re off the clock.
Please, don't insult witches like that, they're just spiritual humans who uses nature stuff to do their own businesses, the Karen is just straight up a b1tch
Story 6: The man is a Skyrim guard. 😂
I worked for Walmart for 3 years and they told us not to help people when we were off the clock instead they wanted us to find someone who was on the clock to help them. But sometimes people are just big assholes and don't want to listen. So I would just walk away like I didn't see nor hear anything lol.
Love your videos Peace and love to you and your family 💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡
Current employee here
Far as I can tell, it's not just that they don't *want* us to do anything work related while off the clock, it's that for legal reasons we *can't* do work related things while off the clock.
That's the right way. But be careful turning your back on any potential threat. Do not engage. Do not explain. But watch your back. Many of these types sound actually mentally unhinged.
@@greyrifterrellik5837 you can actually be fired for working off the clock, if you have an AH manager with a God complex.
@@cyndib511 which seems to be one of the hiring requirements for all Walmart managers. I worked there briefly back in the early 2000s and when I was about to get my medical benefits, I was suspiciously fired for “work-related performance issues” and for profanity. I'm not going to lie and say I don't swear, I do. The fact that they singled me out when the smokers area had some of the foulest language that would have made a sailor blush. There was one nasty older lady who I will call out by her real name because she's no doubt dead by now Phyllis, who went on racist tirades against the people who shopped and came through her line. Nothing ever happened to her. As far as work-related issues? I was never late and I always did my job. I also suspect the reason why I was canned was because I complained about my food missing from the break room fridge and that someone had vandalized my car with a certain homophobic slur on it. Despite there being cameras in the parking lot, they couldn't get a good look at who did it or when it happened or so they claimed. It would have been an HR nightmare, but with uncooperative management, it would have hit a wall before it got any traction.
I was told that and said nope thats the same as working its not going to happen. Former walmart employee.
"Stop shopping..." really? regardless of whether you still work there or not, doesn't mean you can't patronize that same shop.
I would love to direct traffic in a suit of armor. My go-to line would of course be, "None shall pass!"
Would you also ask them "what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" 🤣
Yeah, Gandolf should be OP's next year's costume!
@@nancyomalley6286 wrong reference. Gandalf said "You shall not pass!". I was quoting the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
@@DragynGirl I would tell them I would let them through only if they brought me..... A shrubbery!!!
The guy in the suit of armor should've said, "None shall pass!".😆
Last story - man, can we get OP to come in costume to a lot of stores to set the idiots straight? That is just too cool.
I HATE that old saying, " no good deed goes unpunished. " I still refuse to help that woman, I go to my manager if that Karen said my manager and have him tell her that I'm on my day off.
Story 6: I like how OP played along and successfully intimidated a male Karen before even saying anything.
Honestly, I am amazed
I was pretty much cracking my head off!
He roll for intimadation and got a net 20 (+5 Armoured)
I mean, a guy who’s 6’ 5 in a full suit of steel armor walking towards you would scare just about anyone
21:09 that's actually really cool armor, OP! I can definitely see how that Karen would be intimidated. A person in a suit of armor can actually be quite fearsome.
Story 4:
So OP dad is mad at his child standing up for a employee from a Karen. Wow just wow. What a Karen move for the dad. The kid doesn’t like yelling so the kid told the Karen what he thought and who his dad was. So why is the dad getting angry at his kid. If I was the kids mom, I would yell at the dad for yelling at the kid.” Don’t be assholes to people.
Guess Dad subscribes to "Respect your Elders, even if they're an AH to you.."
Evt. it was his business mind because one unsatisfied customer can cost you hundreds of new customers. On the other side satisfied customers doesn't have that impact. That is why many businesses accept everything a..hole customers do. They do what they think it's easy and in short sight better for business and not what it is right.
Meanwhile, Dad is running the theater with unpaid child labor. What a mess.
A customer like this makes no difference to the Bottom Line! There are many more good customers to replace the AH. 😮
Lol, that airline story. That lady should just be grateful this wasn't post-9/11 air travel, or her bag would have been taken out on the tarmac and blown up on top of her being removed by security. XD
The idea of just... throwing your bag at a total stranger and expecting this to end in something other than federal criminal charges. What a weird thought in this day and age. Bet she was planning on lighting up a cigarette on the plane, too.
Imagine you see a giant Paladin marching down a hospital directly at you while your in your car.
#2 Karen : «I want this bell boy...». Gate agent, asking the pilot that Karen called «bell boy» : «Captain ? ...». At that moment, Karen should have realized that she screwed herself big time.
#3 That Karen is the kind who can't learn. Even pressing charges against him won't have any effect on his behaviour and pathological entitlement.
#6 Yes, OP was the Perfect guy to call in that situation. Impressive and intimidating. Exactly what was needed to take care of that jerk. Very nice set of armour by the way.
That last story was so awesome! I love the way OP went with it and told that guy off, and it was nice that he let people take pictures with him, too. He seems like such a stand-up guy
As a knight geek myself, I can only imagine the rush of actually being able to do a 'knightly' deed!
Deus Volt!
Story 2: Karen tried to get OP to carry her bags and then OP gets her banned from the Flight, talk about Karmic inconvenience
Story 2: The captain didn't look behind him to see the explosion, just like an action movie badass.
Fun fact, pharmacy message even says that if you have an emergency, call 911. At least ours does.
Some owners/managers don’t know the difference between ‘good’ customers and ‘regular’ customers, it’s rather common in those positions to forget the definitions of the words.
Moral of these stories: Don't claim to know the owner of a business unless your favorite dish is crow.
Story 2:
Last time I was at an airport, with carry-on luggage cause standby, there weren't any bell boys who carried your luggage for you, if I remember correctly, probably because all the luggage people are busy loading luggage into the plane itself, lady was so delusional, she made up a bell-boy position on the spot, because she hated carrying her luggage, don't do that.
And aren't bellboys associated with hotels?
There used to be people that help carry luggage but that pretty much stopped in the 70s. While there may still be some they won't be dressed like flight crew.
"My movie is about to start!" "That's a shame. You should have set your alarm five minutes earlier I guess. Sucks to be you." Like, your movie is about to start, so you're going to make everyone else who budgeted their time late to their movie.
Last story:
In Germany we have a saying: "Kleider machen Leute!" (Clothing makes people!)
I'm working in my business just 4 years, but by wearing an old dirty apron people believe that i have lots of experience....
Also, when i'm wearing my Native American outfit, all people step aside when i come along.
Wearing the right outfit works sometimes as a shield, it gives you the confidence that nothing can hurt you!
If I'm in a must get things done mood its a button up shirt with clip on tie. If I'm in general go with the flow work its polo shirt
I dress as a Police Officer for my work at a Police Museum and one day, whilst out flyering, I chanced across a fender bender which looked like it was going to get ugly.
One guy made to swing but spotted me in my uniform, quickly dropped his arm, smiled and recommended they swap details and let the Insurers sort it out.
And I never said a thing.
I love that employee!
The instant I hears "captain" 😈
First story: Sounds like that ended well if she never had to deal with that customer again.
For the lady who dropped her bags in an airport and walked away I'd be tempted to call airport security and let them know that there's a bunch of unattended bags. Tell them the truth but the lady walked up dropped her bags and then hustled away to take a flight.
1st story - glorious positive of the story is that the OP never had to directly interact with the cretin again.
The last story was so awesome and that armor looked so good. Cheapest I've seen a full plate suit of armor was $9,000
Touching other people's stuff is a great way to get sued. Never do it.
Story 3
Ah the fun of capitalism! I had a boss, while working in retail, who absolutely did not care for us. One of my colleagues was threatened and he forbid us from calling the police. Unpaid over time was expected. He didn't care how customers treated us. He didn't care if we got injured. He would yell at us and insult us for tiny mistakes. And so on!
And my favorite story: The minimum wage was raised. One of the cleaners informed him that he was paying her below the new minimum wage. She was fired, for "insubordination" and "unbecoming conduct". She worked for him for over 20 years!
Basically: If he could make a single euro more by trampling over your corpse, he would do it!
that dismissal... I would have gone after them for it. I would have quit if I was threatened and forbidden to deal with my safety.
@@wolphin732 his family is the definition of "fuck you money". He is basically untouchable, because he can afford the best lawyers in the region and is "personal friends" with a lot of influential people. So if I didn't want to move, I had to let it go.
He was a "regular" customer, not a "good and loyal customer". A regular troublemaker customer. Not worth it!
The OP of the "Suit of Armor" story was someone after my own heart. I would have loved to buy a suit of armor at that age, and I was a similar height with an even thinner build at 17. It's awesome that he was able to defeat that "dragon" of a male Karen!
Love the suit of armor. Definitely not cheap. They are actually quite expensive because of the time it takes to make them out of such thick steel.
Story 5: OP stole my story. This happened to me years ago when I worked retail. This guy was the biggest POS. I finally told the guy to piss off. I can’t help you and I refuse to be yelled at. I hung up and ten minutes later the guys wife called back to apologize.
I never accept an apology on behalf of someone else. All it says to me that this is not the first time and that they are not going to change as others make excuses for them.
The kid with the knight armor... all I can say to that is, _what a legend._
I hope OP in the last story had the opportunity to say "none shall pass."
Story 1: obviously, OP's boss told the customer to knock it off. That's why the customer avoided OP (out of embarrassment).
That last story was priceless! Talk about the Tin Man of OZ having to deal with a "kevin". 😀
I work at Walgreens as a cashier in the store area, not in the pharmacy. When I first started working there I was not told how to transfer their calls, so I used to page them on the overhead. If they didn't pick up the call in a certain amount of time, the call would ring back to my phone. If they were really busy, they wouldn't answer the phone. I can't remember how many times the customer would get mad at me because they didn't pick the call up. And yes, a few times someone told me to go to the pharmacy and tell them to pick up the phone. I tried to explain that I am cashiering in the store and can't just walk away from customers at the register in the front of the store to walk to the pharmacy at the back of the store. (As if they are going to pick up the phone just because I tell them to.) Someone finally told me how to transfer the call so that it stays there and doesn't ring back. So now I always transfer the call. But there's more. When they answer the phone they say "Walgreens Pharmacy", which obviously we don't. And yet I still all the time get customers that just start talking about their prescription or their doctor told them this and I try to say "Excuse me" and they keep rambling on so I have to say it a couple more times before they pause and I tell them "This isn't the pharmacy. Let me transfer you". Oh, the joy of working retail.
That suit of Armour is awesome. Surprised he was able to stand for such a long time.
The "bellboy" story: She left her bags, out of her posession. TSA would LOVE to discuss this for her. A no-fly list might cool her ardor for following "bellboys" around the concourse.
In present day, yes. The story took place at Denver Stapleton, which dates the story to pre-1995.
Now OP needs to save up for/rent a horse in armour and he'll be the best manager for Halloween to deal with people like this.
See in that first story, the Karen probably told someone what she did and that person pointed out that she's a garbage human and she was mortified and never interacted with OP again. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
Love that the con-merchant not only lost out in court by admitting his guilt and con, but got taken to the cleaners, losing his original $2500
Story 1: "No good deed goes unpunished." Ancient Wisdom!
Love that last story. I also wondered how much loot a get up like that would cost.
Story 1: Seriously, don't go to work on your day off, or anywhere near it. If you must get something, have it delivered, have someone else get it for you, or, as a last resort, get it before or after your shift. Then you can tell the Karen, either at the start of your shift, "one moment I'll be right with you", or at the end, carrying stuff, "I'm helping someone else right now and will be a while, please find another associate." You don't have to specify that the "someone else" is yourself and "a while" is the two minutes it takes to carry your merchandise to your car, plus whatever time you have off until you next clock in.
The Captain did the right thing refusing to carry that Karen. It's right there in the regulations: 14 CFR § 91.17(b) "Except in an emergency, no pilot of a civil aircraft may allow a person who appears to be intoxicated ... to be carried in that aircraft."
Notice that the person doesn't have to be _proven_ to be intoxicated; they only have to _appear_ to be intoxicated. If, in the pilot's judgement, they appear to be intoxicated, that's good enough.
It all goes back to § 91.3(a) "The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the operation of that aircraft."
RE: Knight I used to do con security at 90s CreationCons. They used people from the local Klingon clubs, so we were mostly in costume. It's amazing how much you can get away with dressed as a Klingon. People just don't talk back.
The knight story missed the obvious opportunity…
MK; I DEMAND TO EXIT THIS WAY!
OP; NONE SHALL PASS!
I’ve always hated managers who are willing to throw their employees under the bus for a customer who isn’t worth keeping
Story 2: Leaving your luggage in the public like that, whether it's an airport, train station or customs checkpoint, can raise suspicion about bomb attacks. That Karen just risked being on a terror watchlist for what? Harassing an airline pilot?
That was pre-9/11, based on the setting. Denver Stapleton closed in 1995.
Story 2: Karen can NEVER EVER admit she's wrong. If forced to admit she's wrong, it will cause her physical pain.
Final story, OP proved that it's not just the armor, he has the heart of a true knight.
He needs to add the chainmail gauntlets. His bare hands ruin the effect. And it’d be really awesome if he had a sword.
Karen: I am the daughter of the owner. I WILL get you fired
OP: Oh! I didn't know that the primates in the zoo nearby could own property and a business?!
Story 4: dad went from being the worst kind of boss we've all had (seriously? I'm not "allowed" to stand up for a friend? F that.) to at least admitting that telling off a rude customer was a good move. We love to see character growth.
I was about to be disappointed that we didn't get to see the suit of armor, but then that picture shows up. Holy cow, that is so amazing!
FYI: I'm an actual armorer for the SCA, and real functional suits of armor like this, not built to current sword sport dueling standards (HEMA), run from about $1000 on the bottom end to upwards of $5000 i would estimate that one is in the $1500-$2000 range... and pretty nice work to boot. if it is built to HEMA standards double or possibly triple that price.
I’m impressed as anything that kid walked around that tin can for 2 1/2 hours. That can’t be an easy thing to do
Here's a pro tip: when going to a movie theater, always arrive an hour or so before your movie starts ànd you'll have plenty of time to get your treats before the show begins!
Story 1:
Hold out your hand and ask if she's gonna pay. If you're on the clock just for her, she needs to pay, since it's work. Or does she think people work for free? 🤔
Story 1: Karen knew that OP wasn't getting paid and still tried to make them do her dirty work,
if it was me i'd say that i'd gladly do the work but charge her a fee for making me work on my day off
LoL love the last story with the guy dressed in medieval armor. Made my day.
From what I know Fluff the answer to your question about the cost of armor will put you in the range of 700-1000 bucks depending on 1) where you buy it 2) the quality of the metal and design 3) how renowned the seller is
Not all heroes wear capes... some wear a suit of armor.
I worked for a local government agency; I once had a lady call me when she really needed a county agency. She was very insistent that I transfer her to that agency and I told her that wasn't possible. She was insistent that I could. Even after explaining multiple times I couldn't, because they were on a totally different phone system. Finally I said I couldn't do it any more than she could transfer me to my sister on her phone. After saying that, she finally understood why I couldn't do as she wanted.
Story 3 reminds me of the time that I was moving to another country. The house was emptied, everything was packed in the van and we were staying overmight at a hotel before catching the train, while my son-in-law and daughter were driving the van to our new home. The hotel offered breakfast. We went into the testaurant. There was only us, my son and me, and a loud American family of four. But every dish in the breakfast area was empty. The servers came out with frash dishes. We got up, but because of disabilities it took me a while to reach the breakfast area. The Americans got there first and cleaned it out. Five minutes later, they did the same again with hte next fresh batch. I told the head server that we were going to miss our train if this carried on. The American family were entitled, selfish and greedy. I've lived in the US, I have family there, but I have never met the likes of them before or since. And I'm glad of it.
Your comment after the lady wanting to reach the Pharmacy was, "I hope it wasn't an emergency". Today almost all, if not all, Dr. offices and pharmacy's have a recording that says if this call is a medical emergency, hang up and dial 911, so I doubt this was an emergency.
O.P Knight I wanted him to say none shall pass... that would have been epic.
I knew people that had armor like that for events held by a group called The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) and full plate armor is around $5,000 USD as it is fitted to the person wearing it. I saw 16 gauge helms that went for upwards of a thousand dollars with all the padding and leather straps to hold it in place. I would have been laughing like crazy watching the Rectal Cranial Invert stammer his way into leaving.
Rci. Love it. I'm going to have to remember that one.😆
Oh, FOR SURE. You can be the nicest of guys with the most polite words to say - but wrapping them up in a hundred pounds of steel turns them into terrifying beasts of steel and leather!
For story1 the worker should have just told her, "It's my day off and I'm in a hurry, so get someone else to help you"
S4: Managers should develop a spine. OP's dad scolds him for supporting the employee but praises OP after retirement? WTF?
Manager was also staffing concessions with unpaid child labor, so there’s nothing good about how he approached his job.
They say, no good deed goes unpunished.
I just loved the second story..
Karma served hot n how!
Never EVER acquiesce to a Karen's request!. Especially if you're off duty, it's your time never lose it
I FEEL for OP in the 6th story...at 16 I was 6ft 3 3/4 inches tall...and weighed 147 lbs...and I didn't gain an once until I was 30 years old !
No good deed goes unpunished.
I've always wondered where this saying came from. Lol
Hey fluff I wanted to let u know u absolutely nailed it at 16:55. I could've never had read that without breaking out into a fit of laughter
Today, I had an amazing encounter at Target - I was shopping and the price scanner at the end of the aisle wasn't working - I walked up to an employee who was filling orders for people, asked if she could scan the price for me - which she did without incident, and then she said "Oh, are you Red Circle? If you are look it up in your app - you'll get a 20% coup on" - I love it when people are kind and patient.
Asking kindly... often the workers are quite willing to help you get the best deal. It's when someone demands that they don't want to.
The second one and the last one had me in stitches!😆😆😆😆
Last story: If it were me, I'd get crouch down and start examining his worth as an organ donor. "His eyes say liver damage, so no liver, and chances are his kidney is shot too... Are you a heavy drinker?"
The fact I said he had liver damage would mess with him,.giving him another fear.
That would be a dream experience of karma justice with the knight costume, it's like being in a house while your friends persuade the town bullies to come in saying that it is haunted and making them think that it's just a bluff. Then scaring the piss out of them.
I LOVED that last story!!! That was epic!!! Love that guy's style! I'd totally buy a suit of armor if I had that much money to spare. lol
