3rd story. Best way to deal with that is to say "So you're teaching your child that it's okay to steal from people", and whenever they try to mitigate or deny it, repeat yourself louder
No best way to deal with the idiot is demand her car. I mean it’s ok for her to demand food from you so you should be able to demand stuff from her too.
Big mama also does not understand a simple premise of neighborliness, of which Mr. Rogers would definitely approve, which is thus: “Ask and you may receive. Demand and you get nothing.”
Entitlement teaching entitlement, plain and simple. These people think for whatever reason they are entitled, so they teach their children to be the same.
"I'm a loyal customer!" Says the lady to the customer that the manager knew by name but who didn't recognize her. Manager: "Lady, if you came here as often as you imply, I would have remembered you from your attitude."
Story #3. At the places that I am a loyal customer, the staff recognizes me. In fact at one place, there was a new cashier who was shocked when the guy on the grill brought up my food before I finished ordering. A good manager definitely knows their loyal customers.
"He's 9!" "Then he's old enough to have learned some actual good manners, lady, since I know several six year olds who learned. Stop teaching him that you approve of him STEALING from people and start teaching him to Be Better!"
I’m not a Karen but I do need help to reset my password because I’ve used the same thing forever and the phone number that is connected to it (if I forget my password or it requires me to reset it) is a land line. I made this email so long ago because it was required but I’ve never used it but if a place only has a email option I’m screwed.
After paying way too much for my first two smartphones, even being a "Certified Auld Phart", but being fairly mechanically inclined, I soon learned to buy cheaper phones via Amazon and activate them myself. So changing passwords is easy. I sometimes help my friends with their phones. 😊
Even if the guy was an employee at the restaurant, that is NOT an entitlement for the kid to take away any of his food. He is sitting there minding his own business trying to eat. The damn kid is not entitled to any of someone else's food, not even a damn fry!
Some years ago I was in a local shop when an older woman asked me if I knew where the rubber kitchen gloves are as since her last visit they had been moved to a new place. I told her I did as I had just seen them (even though I didn't need them). She thanked me for helping her even though she knew I didn't work there, saying I should because I'm more polite and helpful than the actual staff. No Karen. Just a polite lady giving me a nice compliment.
Had a similar experience at a grocery store once. I had just grabbed a jar of jelly off the shelf and started walking towards the registers when an elderly woman rolled up in one of those mobility scooters. Her words to me, "I know you don't work here, but would you mind helping me find the apple butter." I was more than happy to help her. She even thanked me afterwards. Just a pleasant experience all around.
See, you just gotta out-Karen the Karen. She starts ranting about how you need to give her kid whatever, you start loudly questioning whether or not she's high on drugs, maybe she's a danger to herself and others, call a manager now, is she actually such a bad mother that she'll do drugs around her kids, has she been driving, somebody call the police because this woman is out of control and maybe giving her children drugs!
Here's what I've learned: if accosted by a Karen, never say, "I'm sorry ma'am" before loudly proclaiming I! DON'T! WORK! HERE!" followed immediately by, "NO!"
Story 3: Plucking a random fry from someone's dish is not only rude, but might cause you to catch some disease from the person. Nobody cares if you're a loyal customer, you're just some person that comes here more often than others.
This! I would never allow my kid to help themselves with anything from a stranger, yet there are so many stories where parents enforce it. It’s potentially sooooo gross!
The woman with the fry kid is ridiculous! That child isn't OP's child! Why does she feel he needs to share his food. He doesn't wake up to her in the morning!
Just once I wanna hear a story where a Karen threatens to never come back and the manager excitedly asks her "Really? You promise you're never coming back?". Bonus points if there's a pizza party later to celebrate Karen's permanent departure.
@@aduckofsomesortConsider the possible outcomes of such a situation, especially the way that cops seem more than happy to shoot first and lie when asked questions later. She said he threatened her with a gun. The cops would have shown up already tensed up from her lie, looking for someone that they are sure they will have to (or GET to) shoot. The guy in question was completely innocent of anything, but she could have gotten him killed. She should have to deal with EXACTLY the same sentence he could have gotten. The consequences could be extremely severe. So should her consequences.
@@aduckofsomesort don’t you realize how easily a persons life can be destroyed by being falsely accused of a crime. They can lose their job, their home, their family, everything, so it’s only right that a false accuser should suffer the same consequences as her accused.
Agreed.@@sailoriris4 That's how you know that any story where Karen accuses OP of a crime and OP decides not to press charges is pure fiction. I would not hesitate to press charges on someone who falsely accused ME. I would make sure that this Karen has a police record so the cops know whose side to take the next time she falsely accuses someone, because there WILL BE a next time.
Final Story - This may not be the typical IDon’tWorkHere story but that’s okay because this story was really wholesome and we need more stories like this. It shows that there is still hope for humanity after all.
Story 5: "I know this isn't a great story..." It is, it absolutely is, I enjoy hearing a heart warming story of people being kind to one another. It just brightens up my day.
@@aduckofsomesort it is definitely Roald, the name is of Norwegian origin. I believe the author's ancestry is also Norwegian although he was born in Cardiff, Wales in 1916. Just Google Roald Dahl, you will see I am right.
The 9yr old: my adage is, "Gimme died and left you begging." Yes, I did this for my kids & my grandchildren. They learned from very young about manners & being polite. Tho, they are polite, they attempt to be polite to even rude ppl, they do call out the rudeness. :) I love my family!
Story 4: Sure, OP *claims* he works in customer service, but he still said the q-word. You *never* wish a customer service worker a quiet shift because then it'll be anything BUT quiet.
The first one when she followed him to the gas station he should have asked for a business card with her details on it. And then go inside the gas station ask for the manager and ask for a copy of the cctv video. Then in the morning call up the business and let them know about their unhinged employee and the issue at hand as well as the video.
My son is 8 and he knows better than to steal food from a stranger. Kids are kids, but you have to teach them manners. I'd be absolutely mortified if my son acted that horribly towards someone else. It doesn't even matter if op was actually an employee, you don't take someone else's food without asking or scream at them to give you their food.
Phone story: After getting away from Karen at the gas station, OP should have called the police to report the incident. Gas stations have CCTV pointed at the pumps to watch for and identify drive offs. No sound, but it would have clearly shown OP didn't draw his weapon. Shoe story: Apology vs free shoes. Hmmm... Considering the effort she had to make to apologize, I call that a win. Fries story: So Karen left without paying for what she ordered/ate? I hope she was banned at a minimum. But with "loyal customers" like that, who disrupt your business, who needs enemies? BFG story: Heard the story before, but not the update. Yeah, there can be fines for making a false police report and misuse of police resources. Hopefully, Karen got hit with a good one. So many people (especially Karens) forget there are cameras literally EVERYWHERE you go anymore. Vanilla extract story: It's amazing what a little kindness will get you, instead of demanding with rudeness.
the last story was so sweet, it doesn't hurt to help people even if you don't work there if you know the store relatively well and to have someone say thanks and offer you money, Karen's can learn a few things from people like that
Story 5: That's how it should go! Teaching your son how to be gracious for assistance, asking and treating people with dignity and respect, it's amazing how well things go when that happens!!
OP had recorded it on his phone, so there was no need. But, he should have pressed charges. I doubt this was her first time acting like that or even laying hands on someone.
First story: First of, I would have banned her from the store the next morning after the stuff she pulled last night, second: passwords to applications on your phone are not the phone provider's problem. Send her away and let her deal with her problems herself if they don't concern you.
I don't usually comment around but I entirely agree! Flowers and maybe a blossoming tree would be so pretty. Kinda hilarious for me to think about tho bc here we just got a warning that it might snow soon 😂😂
@@merlinathrawes746 Oh yeah, same here in the UK in some areas. Sucks since it's my birth month lol but at least there's some snow for once after a rainy christmas
To all the Karens that want to lie to a manager or the police. They are cameras in… 1. Restaurants 2. Gas Stations 3. Shoe Stores 4. Supermarkets 5. Shopping Centre 6. Banks 7. Government Buildings 8. Swimming Pools 9. Airports 10. Train Stations 11. Hospitals 12. Schools 13. Hotels and Motels 14. Parking Lots 15. Car Washers 16. Theme Parks 17. Theatres 18. Libraries Cameras are in these places to catch everything that goes on, including your verbal and physical tantrums. Lying will get you no where when cameras are in place.
Story 2: What gets me is that she actually suggested checking the cameras knowing full well they would prove her story false. What, did she think if she sounded confident enough they wouldn't question her story? Or maybe she really did think her own messed up version really happened. Who knows?
Story 4 - I LOVE OP’s response to Karen’s insulting question about his shirt. And yeah leave it to a Karen to call the cops and lie that she was threatened just to get someone in trouble for ‘not obeying her’. Stupid Entitled people.
Story 4: Oof, rude as hell. A noticeable amount of people lack respect for the younger generation (or people they think is part of the younger generation), and I often wonder where this behavior comes from
How to spot a real “Loyal customer”, we walk into one of our favorite restaurants, the staff knows what we want to drink and asks if we want our usual appetizer.
Story one, one of my older cousins works for a cell phone store and on more than one occasions people have fallowed her demanding they serve her, one even pulled a gun on her demanding she fixed it the decided to fire it to sher he she wasn’t playing around, she was tased by a off duty cop , my cousin carried pepper spray and then upgraded to a gun over the years , then when she was finally moving on to greener pastures and switching stores , she was confronted by the customer she called “ the witch “ who basically over the last 3 years of my cousin working there basically hell, when the witch forced her off the road and blocked her , basically done with this bs she confronted the witch who was screaming and stomping her feet and my cousin had it and let loose on the woman and basically grabbed her phone and told her to F off threw it into the ditch and pulled her gun out and unloaded into the phone, the witch scrambled to her phone and my cousin got in backed out and drove off , she found out from her old manager who retired that the witch got attested for coming into the store with a gun she stole , and was promptly arrested and committed, my cousin told the manager what happened and what she did, and though he was concerned and disapproval of what my cousin did, he congratulated her on getting rid of the witch because since she was put away the store recovered greatly without tge witch calling corporate and complaining about the store when ever she visited
So in my early career, 50 years ago, I worked Hospitality, Retail, Customer Service AND Direct Sales in Finance. I've seen all species of Karen (they weren't called that back then) AND their Male counterparts, which is why I have made it a point of principal to ALWAYS express my appreciation for the service workers give me, regardless of which store or market they work in. From the Postman to the Waitress, Store Clerk to Chef, I've been in their shoes and they always have my respect!
We got snow where I live too. For most of the winter we had bare ground and no snow which is extremely unusual for this area as I live in Minnesota about 15 miles from Canada
i have had this happen several times with calls and people stopping me in town (Small town) after hours or even the middle of the night. Always a woman who doesn't understand WORKING hours because she has never held a job in her life. Hurling "You Dumb C" defuses things quickly and completely in my opinion.
Thank you Fluff for returning to a positive, wholesome last story. I didn’t realize how much I missed that. Yet, I realize these are probably hard to find because they are few and far between. Very uplifting though and appreciated. Have a great day! ✌️
If someone has to tell staff "I'm a loyal customer", they're probably not. Exception for new staff members. I was out of town for a weekend, so I didn't go to my favorite breakfast spot like I normally do. The waitstaff asked me about my absence the next week. That's how you know a loyal customer. Also, manager in the story 3 missed a golden opportunity: Karen - "Or you'll never see us back here again!" Manager - "Promise? 🤩"
Story 3: "I am a loyal customer who has never been here before, and if you don't force this other customer to give his food to my son, I will never come here again." Promises, promises.
If your 9yr old doesn't know that you can't just take things that is not yours then you have failed as a parent. Your kid has a 80% of being in and out of jail for theft.
„When someone says they are a loyal customer, they are, in fact, not a loyal customer”. That is so true! I worked in a café that was so hidden in was probably a money laundry scam, there were almost no customers, so I remembered each and every one. Not hard to remember one every two days. Once some kids used firecrackers in front of the entrance, so I politely asked accompanying adult to please ask them to stop. First thing he said was „you just lost a loyal customer, I was here almost every day”. All I could do was smile.
Story 2: After the manager came up with Karen I would have immediately asked him to call the police...then wait for them...let Karen lie...then press all 4 charges against her. Story 3: Even if OP actually worked at the restaurant he still would not have to give his food to anyone else. Karen never cares about anyone else's property rights...only their own. Story 4: Karen better be careful...it is a criminal action to Abuse Emergency Services and another crime to Hinder/Obfuscate an Investigation...both of which are arrestable offenses. Story 5: This is what Good Parenting & being a Good Human looks like!
Karen's *never* remember cameras because they live in world where they don't exist, so it's always a "surprise pikachu" face moment when they find out cameras exist.
Last story! I adore when you share the occassional Feel Good stories. They are so Precious. Thank you. No other channel I am subscribed to shares the cute stories, but not a problem. 😘
Story 2: A Karen backing down? That must be a first. I think she actually learned her lesson. Story 4: That is a typical Karen move when things don't go their way. I hope she got done for filing a false police report.
Story 3: Yeah, the restaurant just lost a "loyal customer" -- someone who eats, harasses other customers, & leaves without paying. With a few more "loyal customers" like that, the restaurant would go bankrupt & have to close...
Last story: If you feel uncomfortable accepting a tip for a favor, just take it but pay it forward. Add it as a tip for a server the next time you go out to eat, or hand it to a retail person who looks like they are having a bad day. Or buy someone lunch or coffee in a takeout line.
Man I love the whole "If you don't do XYZ then I'm never coming back here again!" _Good!_ If you're gonna act like that then we'd rather we never saw you again.
The thing with Karen's is it's not necessarily what they need, it's always what they want! My mom used to tell me that people in hell want ice water but that doesn't mean they can get it. That was her way of teaching me that you can't always get your way.
BFG was so right. With the attitude Karen had, no one would want to help her. She should also be careful who she calls BOY because some people will do more than tell Karen about being rude.
People (especially a certain ideology obsessed with "conspiracy theories") complain about the "surveillance state". Story 4 is a perfect reason for the need for it.
Let her call the cops. She's the one breaking the law. And if there are CCTV cameras at the gas station you win instantly. Cameras are a good person's best friend and a bad person's worst enemy. They make everybody who views the recording a witness to the event. Unfortunately these days even the smallest business has to have plenty of them.
Story 1: It is so weird to me, that OP thinks carrying (and touching) a gun is in any way reasonable. Especially since it did not even deter the angry would-be customer. Story 3: 9 is way to old for that kind of behaviour. It's a self made problem though, the manager was offering a discount as reward for the bad behaviour. Story 4: Finally a manager who defends his customers against attack by roaming idiots. Story 5: The woman was not just nice, she was smart, sending her son with the thank you tip for OP.
Cellphone Karen claims to be a realtor. I would look up her name and see if she works for a real estate company then report her. This morning I had to drop my car off at the repair shop. We’ve been to this place a lot the last 2 weeks. The last few times we’ve been to this place the coffee and water section had donuts which made my 4 year old very happy. First thing he did was go directly to the section and there were no donuts. He threw a tantrum that he was hungry and he wants donuts etc. the manager in Spanish told his receptionist about some cookies he had in his office and told her to get some. I did know until she handed my son some cookies. I was very apologetic about my son’s behavior. I scolded my son when buckling him up. I did tell the shop he’s 4. Meaning please forgive my son’s behavior. I also made him directly thank both the manager and receptionist for the cookies. Had I known what the manager was telling the receptionist I would have told them no, my son needs to learn the donuts are a niceity not a necessity
(My comment got deleted) I call the BFG 9,000 the F*** all weapon cause it takes out all the enemies on screen in the DOOM games. Its a very helpful item in the game.
BTW my comment that got deleted was different than this one. Anyways...... look up how the DOOM Slayer gets the BFG 9,000 in 2016 DOOM game. Awesome scene.
@brendanboomhour7606 aside from DOOM 3. It seems like the BFG has been consistent with how powerful it is. I donno about DOOM 64 cause I am unsure if I ever got it and from what I hear. Isn't as powerful as the unmaker fully upgraded.
I'm surprised that she didn't just have The cops there with her when she was at the cell phone store. Also if I was OP I would have said well ma'am you realize that you just admitted to a crime at a gas station which has security cameras which can prove that I did not have my gun in your face at all as well as in this store we have audio on our cameras and you just admitted to a false allegation of me doing it so if you come back here again I will have the cops escort you out.
Realtors are any cell phone company employee’s bane. They don’t pay their bills but demand service be maintained because “my customers need to reach me!” 🙄 they’re rude and entitled.
Story 2 Even if someone is a loyal customer of a restaurant, that doesn’t give them the right to go up to other customers and grab their food. The restaurant doesn’t pay for the customers food the Customer does. That Karen needs to teach her kids manners. When you have manners more people are willing to do things for you.
Kid and fries story: This happened to me once. The place I went to had just changed managers. I worked at a store in the mall and this fry place was in the food court. I had been going to this place 5 days a week for just over 3 years. All the employees knew me as well as the old manager. The new manager was a real Karen. So about 6 months after the Karen takes over I had the incident. Entitled kid comes over yada yada yada. It ends slightly different. Manager Karen takes my fries and offers all the kids a taste of my fries and then hands me back the empty container and says I need to learn how to share. She also states that it isn't a big issue because I'll be back the next day anyway because I can't live without their fries. She then laughs and walks off. I was gobsmacked and then I was livid. I got up and walked away. First thing I did was call police. As I was waiting for them, I called the owners of the franchise and told them what their measly little manager had done. They laughed. Then I called corporate. And with every call I made I included the video with audio because I had started to film as soon as the kid approached me. I sensed something sketchy right from the beginning. So cops show up along with a news crew that were shadowing that day because the city had been getting a lot of bad publicity lately for the way police officers were behaving and they were trying to create some good publicity for the police department. So, in the end, Manager Karen was arrested for theft, the owners had their franchise taken away and there was a lovely public interest story on the 6 and 10 o'clock news that night featuring me and the employees of the chip shop. After, they all received job offers from numerous other companies from the mall and outside the mall. I was very happy about that.

Big mama also does not understand a simple premise of neighborliness, of which Mr. Rogers would definitely approve, which is thus: “Ask and you may receive. Demand and you get nothing.”
And tell her you want to talk to her manager to get her, and her kid, fired.
Entitlement teaching entitlement, plain and simple. These people think for whatever reason they are entitled, so they teach their children to be the same.
"Why are you shopping HERE when you work THERE?"
"Uh ..... because I want to?"
"Because it's not against the law"
For the same reason you are, Because I can.
"Uh... none of your danged business!"
"Why are you buying groceries here if you work at this gas station?"
"Because I'm sick of seeing the inside of that place."
"Why don't you give him a fry? He's nine."
"So old enough to know how to say please."
"I'm a loyal customer!" Says the lady to the customer that the manager knew by name but who didn't recognize her.
Manager: "Lady, if you came here as often as you imply, I would have remembered you from your attitude."
Story #3. At the places that I am a loyal customer, the staff recognizes me. In fact at one place, there was a new cashier who was shocked when the guy on the grill brought up my food before I finished ordering. A good manager definitely knows their loyal customers.
I've had that happen with my local post office-my housemate orders a lot of things online and I collect their parcels when the blue note is left.
"He's 9!" "Then he's old enough to have learned some actual good manners, lady, since I know several six year olds who learned. Stop teaching him that you approve of him STEALING from people and start teaching him to Be Better!"
The mother says, "I can't believe you would treat a child this way!" I wonder if she meant her kid or her, as she was certainly acting like a child.
Only a Karen would need a phone store employee's help to reset a email password
I’m not a Karen but I do need help to reset my password because I’ve used the same thing forever and the phone number that is connected to it (if I forget my password or it requires me to reset it) is a land line. I made this email so long ago because it was required but I’ve never used it but if a place only has a email option I’m screwed.
I'm a technopeasant. I can reset a password, but not much else. But I am always very, very humble when asking the tech support person for help. 🥴
After paying way too much for my first two smartphones, even being a "Certified Auld Phart", but being fairly mechanically inclined, I soon learned to buy cheaper phones via Amazon and activate them myself. So changing passwords is easy. I sometimes help my friends with their phones. 😊
Well, yes, because their kid prolly go no contact with them
Well, yes, because their kid prolly go no contact with them
A nine year old isn’t exactly a little boy. He should’ve learned getting permission and sharing four years prior in kindergarten.
Apparently, his mom taught him the OPPOSITE AND WRONG LESSON!
Absolutely not! He should be taught to never get food or drinks from strangers!
There could be so many problems with that!
I wonder if that was the same 9 year old from the story of the one whose mom let him peep on women in the restroom.
Even if the guy was an employee at the restaurant, that is NOT an entitlement for the kid to take away any of his food. He is sitting there minding his own business trying to eat. The damn kid is not entitled to any of someone else's food, not even a damn fry!

Story #3: I can’t even with that woman, why didn’t she just buy her brat some fries? Loyal customer or not, businesses don’t need customers like her.

The Big Friendly Giant written by Roald Dahl. (and yes, Americans, that IS Roald NOT Ronald!)
I also saw the movie.

It's always good to remind an aggressive Karen that there are cameras everywhere even gas stations who are known for using expensive cameras.
Especially nowadays when petrol/gas station drive-offs are getting increasingly common.
The 9yr old: my adage is, "Gimme died and left you begging." Yes, I did this for my kids & my grandchildren. They learned from very young about manners & being polite. Tho, they are polite, they attempt to be polite to even rude ppl, they do call out the rudeness. :) I love my family!

Would that also count as threatening them with a good time?

The first one when she followed him to the gas station he should have asked for a business card with her details on it. And then go inside the gas station ask for the manager and ask for a copy of the cctv video.

@@SoManyRandomRamblings but unfortunately hindsight is always 20/20 after the fact.
@@Jevans47403 so true.
My son is 8 and he knows better than to steal food from a stranger. Kids are kids, but you have to teach them manners. I'd be absolutely mortified if my son acted that horribly towards someone else. It doesn't even matter if op was actually an employee, you don't take someone else's food without asking or scream at them to give you their food.
Loved the ending. A woman teaching her child to appreciate and reward good, polite behavior.
Phone story: After getting away from Karen at the gas station, OP should have called the police to report the incident. Gas stations have CCTV pointed at the pumps to watch for and identify drive offs. No sound, but it would have clearly shown OP didn't draw his weapon.
Shoe story: Apology vs free shoes. Hmmm... Considering the effort she had to make to apologize, I call that a win.
Fries story: So Karen left without paying for what she ordered/ate? I hope she was banned at a minimum. But with "loyal customers" like that, who disrupt your business, who needs enemies?
BFG story: Heard the story before, but not the update. Yeah, there can be fines for making a false police report and misuse of police resources. Hopefully, Karen got hit with a good one. So many people (especially Karens) forget there are cameras literally EVERYWHERE you go anymore.
Vanilla extract story: It's amazing what a little kindness will get you, instead of demanding with rudeness.
the last story was so sweet, it doesn't hurt to help people even if you don't work there if you know the store relatively well and to have someone say thanks and offer you money, Karen's can learn a few things from people like that
Story 5: That's how it should go! Teaching your son how to be gracious for assistance, asking and treating people with dignity and respect, it's amazing how well things go when that happens!!
Had a Karen try to slap me, blocked her arm, and she accused me of hurting her 😂 thank the gods for cameras.
"I know it's not a great story..."
Of course it is! We love the wholesome!
2nd Story: Yeah I would just tell the manager to check the cameras if there were any nearby, although I've never faced any of these situations.
i agree, cameras.
OP had recorded it on his phone, so there was no need. But, he should have pressed charges. I doubt this was her first time acting like that or even laying hands on someone.
Ugh! ALWAYS. PRESS. CHARGES!
Yay for that nice lady in the last story!
First story:
First of, I would have banned her from the store the next morning after the stuff she pulled last night, second: passwords to applications on your phone are not the phone provider's problem. Send her away and let her deal with her problems herself if they don't concern you.
It's Spring here so time for a new background with flowers and newborn animals. No more snow!
I don't usually comment around but I entirely agree! Flowers and maybe a blossoming tree would be so pretty.
Kinda hilarious for me to think about tho bc here we just got a warning that it might snow soon 😂😂
Not yet.... Soon! 🤔🙄🤷😆😆🎉🌵👵🐺🖖💖💋🌦
Oh, that’s right: it is officially SPRING, since last week.🌻
I used to live in Michigan. It may "technically" be spring, but I've seen some pretty big snowstorms going into April.
@@merlinathrawes746 Oh yeah, same here in the UK in some areas. Sucks since it's my birth month lol but at least there's some snow for once after a rainy christmas
You Gotta FIGHT...
For Your RIGHT...
To SNOOOOOOOOOWWW
FLUFF!!

To all the Karens that want to lie to a manager or the police. They are cameras in…
1. Restaurants
2. Gas Stations
3. Shoe Stores
4. Supermarkets
5. Shopping Centre
6. Banks
7. Government Buildings
8. Swimming Pools
9. Airports
10. Train Stations
11. Hospitals
12. Schools
13. Hotels and Motels
14. Parking Lots
15. Car Washers
16. Theme Parks
17. Theatres
18. Libraries
Cameras are in these places to catch everything that goes on, including your verbal and physical tantrums. Lying will get you no where when cameras are in place.
Story 2: What gets me is that she actually suggested checking the cameras knowing full well they would prove her story false. What, did she think if she sounded confident enough they wouldn't question her story? Or maybe she really did think her own messed up version really happened. Who knows?
Story 4 - I LOVE OP’s response to Karen’s insulting question about his shirt. And yeah leave it to a Karen to call the cops and lie that she was threatened just to get someone in trouble for ‘not obeying her’.
Stupid Entitled people.
If they didn't have that gat, the karen definitely would have attacked the manager.
never, ever miss the opportunity to press charges. it is the only way to teach the entitled ones.
21:52
🤬🤬🤬
*She NEEDS to be charged and pay a HUGE FINE & made to do community service.. In the SERVICE INDUSTRY!*
Story 4: Karen probably is too entitled to know that filling a false police report is a crime.
It's always nice hearing the stories of people who are grateful for help and don't act entitled.
Story 4: Oof, rude as hell. A noticeable amount of people lack respect for the younger generation (or people they think is part of the younger generation), and I often wonder where this behavior comes from
According to them it comes from us and our lack of respect for the older generation lol
How to spot a real “Loyal customer”, we walk into one of our favorite restaurants, the staff knows what we want to drink and asks if we want our usual appetizer.
"Loyal Customer Karen": "I'm NEVER coming back here again!"
Employees: Don't you DARE threaten ME with a good time! 😉
My favorite response to use when they say " I will never come back here" I say " you promise"?
Re Story 3, the restaurant probably lost a PITA customer.
…And there was much rejoicing.
Story one, one of my older cousins works for a cell phone store and on more than one occasions people have fallowed her demanding they serve her, one even pulled a gun on her demanding she fixed it the decided to fire it to sher he she wasn’t playing around, she was tased by a off duty cop , my cousin carried pepper spray and then upgraded to a gun over the years , then when she was finally moving on to greener pastures and switching stores , she was confronted by the customer she called “ the witch “ who basically over the last 3 years of my cousin working there basically hell, when the witch forced her off the road and blocked her , basically done with this bs she confronted the witch who was screaming and stomping her feet and my cousin had it and let loose on the woman and basically grabbed her phone and told her to F off threw it into the ditch and pulled her gun out and unloaded into the phone, the witch scrambled to her phone and my cousin got in backed out and drove off , she found out from her old manager who retired that the witch got attested for coming into the store with a gun she stole , and was promptly arrested and committed, my cousin told the manager what happened and what she did, and though he was concerned and disapproval of what my cousin did, he congratulated her on getting rid of the witch because since she was put away the store recovered greatly without tge witch calling corporate and complaining about the store when ever she visited
Story 2 - I still would’ve pressed charges against Karen.
I have a nine year old son and the thought of him going up to a stranger to ask for food is mind boggling! It’s just unsafe and so rude.
Especially when said stranger can do the very thing people warn us about.
So in my early career, 50 years ago, I worked Hospitality, Retail, Customer Service AND Direct Sales in Finance. I've seen all species of Karen (they weren't called that back then) AND their Male counterparts, which is why I have made it a point of principal to ALWAYS express my appreciation for the service workers give me, regardless of which store or market they work in. From the Postman to the Waitress, Store Clerk to Chef, I've been in their shoes and they always have my respect!
It snowed yesterday where I live, my yard looks exactly like the video's snowy background
Wait a minute, didn’t Spring began recently?
Yeah, I know, I have weird weather where I live
My dad and I had to plow our driveway twice in three hours
We got snow where I live too. For most of the winter we had bare ground and no snow which is extremely unusual for this area as I live in Minnesota about 15 miles from Canada
Snow and ice.... Makes me so very happy to be an old lifetime Native Floridian. Had enough of that stuff when I was away in the military. 😊
Snow like that makes me miss Minnesota. ❄️
i have had this happen several times with calls and people stopping me in town (Small town) after hours or even the middle of the night. Always a woman who doesn't understand WORKING hours because she has never held a job in her life. Hurling "You Dumb C" defuses things quickly and completely in my opinion.
Oh, my heart! That last story was so sweet!
Thank you Fluff for returning to a positive, wholesome last story. I didn’t realize how much I missed that. Yet, I realize these are probably hard to find because they are few and far between. Very uplifting though and appreciated. Have a great day! ✌️
If someone has to tell staff "I'm a loyal customer", they're probably not. Exception for new staff members.
I was out of town for a weekend, so I didn't go to my favorite breakfast spot like I normally do. The waitstaff asked me about my absence the next week. That's how you know a loyal customer.
Also, manager in the story 3 missed a golden opportunity:
Karen - "Or you'll never see us back here again!"
Manager - "Promise? 🤩"
Story 3: I would’ve asked the lady “If your son wants fries that badly, why don’t you buy him some yourself?”.
Story 3: "I am a loyal customer who has never been here before, and if you don't force this other customer to give his food to my son, I will never come here again." Promises, promises.
If your 9yr old doesn't know that you can't just take things that is not yours then you have failed as a parent. Your kid has a 80% of being in and out of jail for theft.
„When someone says they are a loyal customer, they are, in fact, not a loyal customer”.
That is so true!
I worked in a café that was so hidden in was probably a money laundry scam, there were almost no customers, so I remembered each and every one. Not hard to remember one every two days.
Once some kids used firecrackers in front of the entrance, so I politely asked accompanying adult to please ask them to stop. First thing he said was „you just lost a loyal customer, I was here almost every day”. All I could do was smile.
Story 2: After the manager came up with Karen I would have immediately asked him to call the police...then wait for them...let Karen lie...then press all 4 charges against her.
Story 3: Even if OP actually worked at the restaurant he still would not have to give his food to anyone else. Karen never cares about anyone else's property rights...only their own.
Story 4: Karen better be careful...it is a criminal action to Abuse Emergency Services and another crime to Hinder/Obfuscate an Investigation...both of which are arrestable offenses.
Story 5: This is what Good Parenting & being a Good Human looks like!
Karen's *never* remember cameras because they live in world where they don't exist, so it's always a "surprise pikachu" face moment when they find out cameras exist.
The walls, ceiling and the sky have eyes.
Last story! I adore when you share the occassional Feel Good stories. They are so Precious. Thank you. No other channel I am subscribed to shares the cute stories, but not a problem. 😘
BFG? I thought that was Big Friendly Giant!
Closed circuit cameras are the Karen's kryptonite !
Love how Dark Fluff finds wholesome stories to put at the end 🥹
I'm sorry but who needs a realtor at 8:00 at night? Most are taking care of home life or whatever they like to do that that time.
A Karen is who "needs" a realtor at 8 at night.
Story 2: A Karen backing down? That must be a first. I think she actually learned her lesson.
Story 4: That is a typical Karen move when things don't go their way. I hope she got done for filing a false police report.
That final story is definitely a welcome surprise.
Story 3: Yeah, the restaurant just lost a "loyal customer" -- someone who eats, harasses other customers, & leaves without paying. With a few more "loyal customers" like that, the restaurant would go bankrupt & have to close...
Last story: If you feel uncomfortable accepting a tip for a favor, just take it but pay it forward. Add it as a tip for a server the next time you go out to eat, or hand it to a retail person who looks like they are having a bad day. Or buy someone lunch or coffee in a takeout line.
Man I love the whole "If you don't do XYZ then I'm never coming back here again!"
_Good!_ If you're gonna act like that then we'd rather we never saw you again.
The thing with Karen's is it's not necessarily what they need, it's always what they want!
My mom used to tell me that people in hell want ice water but that doesn't mean they can get it. That was her way of teaching me that you can't always get your way.
BFG was so right. With the attitude Karen had, no one would want to help her. She should also be careful who she calls BOY because some people will do more than tell Karen about being rude.
Oh my gosh! Love the last story and yes that little boy was adorable that was a very uplifting story :-)
People (especially a certain ideology obsessed with "conspiracy theories") complain about the "surveillance state". Story 4 is a perfect reason for the need for it.
Let her call the cops. She's the one breaking the law. And if there are CCTV cameras at the gas station you win instantly. Cameras are a good person's best friend and a bad person's worst enemy. They make everybody who views the recording a witness to the event. Unfortunately these days even the smallest business has to have plenty of them.
Story 1: It is so weird to me, that OP thinks carrying (and touching) a gun is in any way reasonable. Especially since it did not even deter the angry would-be customer.
Story 3: 9 is way to old for that kind of behaviour. It's a self made problem though, the manager was offering a discount as reward for the bad behaviour.
Story 4: Finally a manager who defends his customers against attack by roaming idiots.
Story 5: The woman was not just nice, she was smart, sending her son with the thank you tip for OP.
Cellphone Karen claims to be a realtor. I would look up her name and see if she works for a real estate company then report her.
This morning I had to drop my car off at the repair shop. We’ve been to this place a lot the last 2 weeks. The last few times we’ve been to this place the coffee and water section had donuts which made my 4 year old very happy. First thing he did was go directly to the section and there were no donuts. He threw a tantrum that he was hungry and he wants donuts etc. the manager in Spanish told his receptionist about some cookies he had in his office and told her to get some. I did know until she handed my son some cookies. I was very apologetic about my son’s behavior. I scolded my son when buckling him up. I did tell the shop he’s 4. Meaning please forgive my son’s behavior. I also made him directly thank both the manager and receptionist for the cookies. Had I known what the manager was telling the receptionist I would have told them no, my son needs to learn the donuts are a niceity not a necessity
We.need more wholesome stories to help restore my faith in humanity.
Story 2: No, he's a fool. Start paper trail every time or when they assault someone the next time it will be the old slap on wrist. Poor showing. 😒
Story 3: I'm guessing the diner won't miss the Karen's business.
(My comment got deleted) I call the BFG 9,000 the F*** all weapon cause it takes out all the enemies on screen in the DOOM games. Its a very helpful item in the game.
BTW my comment that got deleted was different than this one. Anyways...... look up how the DOOM Slayer gets the BFG 9,000 in 2016 DOOM game. Awesome scene.
@@TheDarkLink7It's Fallout 4 iteration is pretty fun too, uses the old model from the pre-2016 games, wish it was more powerful though
That was always a fun weapon to use in Doom.
So, the personal carry version of the "Death Blossom"!? 😅
@brendanboomhour7606 aside from DOOM 3. It seems like the BFG has been consistent with how powerful it is. I donno about DOOM 64 cause I am unsure if I ever got it and from what I hear. Isn't as powerful as the unmaker fully upgraded.
Last story,its so nice to see a polite child,and a very considerate mother! Yes,there is hope,thank you!'Thank you 🎉! Thank you 😇 😊!!

Story 1 Karen is lucky she wasn't shot in self defense.
I'm surprised that she didn't just have The cops there with her when she was at the cell phone store. Also if I was OP I would have said well ma'am you realize that you just admitted to a crime at a gas station which has security cameras which can prove that I did not have my gun in your face at all as well as in this store we have audio on our cameras and you just admitted to a false allegation of me doing it so if you come back here again I will have the cops escort you out.
Wasn't what that Karen doing consider stalking? If so, she's lucky the barrel wasn't pointing at her
As always, There's no cure for stupid.
24:25 "Crotch Goblin" I am totally stealing that one.
Realtors are any cell phone company employee’s bane. They don’t pay their bills but demand service be maintained because “my customers need to reach me!” 🙄 they’re rude and entitled.
Story 2 Even if someone is a loyal customer of a restaurant, that doesn’t give them the right to go up to other customers and grab their food. The restaurant doesn’t pay for the customers food the Customer does. That Karen needs to teach her kids manners. When you have manners more people are willing to do things for you.
Kid and fries story: This happened to me once. The place I went to had just changed managers. I worked at a store in the mall and this fry place was in the food court. I had been going to this place 5 days a week for just over 3 years. All the employees knew me as well as the old manager. The new manager was a real Karen. So about 6 months after the Karen takes over I had the incident. Entitled kid comes over yada yada yada. It ends slightly different. Manager Karen takes my fries and offers all the kids a taste of my fries and then hands me back the empty container and says I need to learn how to share. She also states that it isn't a big issue because I'll be back the next day anyway because I can't live without their fries. She then laughs and walks off. I was gobsmacked
and then I was livid. I got up and walked away. First thing I did was call police. As I was waiting for them, I called the owners of the franchise and told them what their measly little manager had done. They laughed. Then I called corporate. And with every call I made I included the video with audio because I had started to film as soon as the kid approached me. I sensed something sketchy right from the beginning. So cops show up along with a news crew that were shadowing that day because the city had been getting a lot of bad publicity lately for the way police officers were behaving and they were trying to create some good publicity for the police department. So, in the end, Manager Karen was arrested for theft, the owners had their franchise taken away and there was a lovely public interest story on the 6 and 10 o'clock news that night featuring me and the employees of the chip shop. After, they all received job offers from numerous other companies from the mall and outside the mall. I was very happy about that.
I really like that last story, that was a great ending to this video.
Love the wholesome one at the end.
