Yep. Customer wants to drown their meal in Ketchup and you find that disgusting or even offensive? You say nothing and bring them that Ketchup Think that outfit looks terrible on them or that the different pieces don't go well together? Unless they ask for honest fashion advice and help picking out a better outfit, smile and say they look great. These are kind of situations where "the Customer is always right" applies
THANK YOU! The customer is NOT always right! The only time they're always right is in matters of taste. If a customer wants to buy something, no matter how distasteful it is (e.g., an ugly hat), they're going to buy it. All other circumstances, they're not always right. It's one of those phrases that was chopped in half to cater to the worst kinds of people.
Story 5 - OP did what SO many people have wanted to do to people like that woman. Sad that she was banned from that place but probably for the best since the owner obviously values nasty people like that Karen over loyal employees. Even former employees.
There was a missing piece of revenge on that Karen. If she didn’t hold a disabled person parking permit. They should have had her ticket med when the police arrived.
I would have said to the manager something to the effect of “really? If this is how you treat your customers, don’t worry, I’m not coming back, voluntarily. Where is my apology?”

That's like how at my old job, we were looking to hire a new cashier. So one day this lady comes in to see my manager, and I do a double take. I recognized her as this really mean and nasty lady who worked at the Family Dollar down the street. So I made a note to talk to my manager later. After the interview was over, o headed back to my managers office. Just as I was about to express my concerns, two of my other coworkers come running to the door and said at the same time, "Please tell me you aren't hiring her, are you?" My manager looked at them, then and me as I said, "Yeah. You don't want her in this store." We then told her about the nasty stuff that lady has done over the previous months. Needless to say, she didn't get the job.
I find it funny she has a go at op saying you'll never be anything more than a fast food worker yet she is on her way to an interview for a job as a checkout chick at a super market
Story 5: Honestly I feel like people who work in the fast food industry who have to put up with entitled narcissistic people should have the right to verbally snap back at anyone who is giving them an undeserved hard time.
Story 1 - Good move Karen, you order a random guy to ‘help you’ OP tells you he doesn’t work there and you throw an apple at him!? Hopefully she was banned from the store.
Story 5: So OP is banned from the store for cussing out an obnoxious Karen that treats everybody like garbage and constantly attempts to scam the store but the Karen still gets to come and spew her own toxic filth? As punishment for that action, the owner needs to serve her every time she comes in until they decide to ban her too.
If I was meeting with Job Interview Karen, I would do the interview. But step out to call the police at the onset. Definitely pressing assault changes after now knowing exactly who she is.
Story 3 - This one was different from what I was expecting. But I will say that Karen had enough brains to know that she REALLY effed up with OP. If she had just been patient and left OP alone then nothing would have happened.
Honestly, it may very well have just been a bad day for her, or she was dealing with a lot of stress, and since she was job hunting I can easily see that being a contributor. We all have times like that when we end up doing things we regret. And we also have to accept the consequences of our actions during those times. At least it seems she accepted those consequences gracefully.
story 5 she acts this way because the owner doesn't ban her for her behavior. Shortsighted management don't understand that customers like her hurt their business, they do not need these toxic people to spend money, as the other customers they drive away are far more profitable.
I listened to another story earlier today about a girl helping out in her parents' old motel. Since many things had to be done manually due to their age like turning on certain lights, etc. she had gone to flip some switches to help out her parents and happened to pass by a Karen's room as she was exiting her room and she started complaining to the OP that no one was at the desk to take her room service food order when she called. The place didn't have a kitchen, so OP told her that, then the woman started berating her, so the OP said something about how she couldn't just conjure up food out of thin air. The next morning, the woman complained about OP to the owner/manager, OP's dad. She told him OP was such a bad employee and had cursed her. Not cursed AT her, but that OP had put a curse ON her, so she should be fired. OP had repeatedly told her that she didn't work there, but the Karen kept insisting that she be fired for cursing her. People be nuts, lol.
Story 5: OP should've agreed to apologize to Karen in person, go back to the restaurant and let her have it a second time instead of actually apologizing
Story one.... That manager should have already permabanned her! And now she just committed assault. 🤨 Story two.... Karen: "How stupid do you think I am?" Me: "Do you really want me to answer that!?" 😂
I once watched a waiter see that he hadn't gotten a tip from a rude table, calmly walk up behind one of the guests from that table, and pour a glass of water down the back of his shirt before walking out. Cussing out a Karen is nothing compared to that, but both are legends.
Now, now, don't put the bad behavior of people on others. I do understand where you're coming from, and we should work together to stop people from being abusive & horrible to others. They should learn that bad behavior won't be rewarded.
Story 5: As satisfying and maybe appropriate in some situations as it is to tell the horrible truth to a narcissist, the even more horrible truth is that you will NOT get through to them. It's not called wounding their narcissism for nothing! Also, such people are dangerous, so please be careful what you say to them - they may attack you physically and in any case you probably will have an enemy for life.
Karen's soley exist because owners are so far removed from dealing with their own customers. As this one video shows, an owner dealing with a Karen will quite often immediately kick them out. When a Karen is harassing employees not related or friends with the owner, the owner will repeatedly thrown their employees under several double deckers to appease the demon. Then we now have a lot of business owners saying how people don't want to work these days (despite lowest unemployment in decades), and quite often refuse to work directly with the customers themselves. We don't want to work for lazy owners anymore that'll fire anyone based on the wails of a banshee!
Story 5: I will never understand why leadership will decide to ban someone for standing up for their employees, when they cannot defend themselves from unruly customers. Instead of giving face to garbage customers, ban THEM, instead. Not that hard.
The lady at the fast food restaurant, I had an incident like that at a grocery store, I was in line with a basket, the lines were long because it was busy. The guy behind me the guy behind me then said, this line is for 10 or less you need to go to another line, now. (he counted the items in my basket I guess... I had 11) I rurned around and saw a man in a polo shirt standing there with resting jerk face. I said "Finally you show up! These lines are ridiculous, due your job and GO OPEN ANOTHER REGISTER before I call you MANAGER and get you FIRED!" He looked at me and was like "What? I don't work here." I laughed and said "Of course you do, YOU are enforcing STORE POLICY, now go open a register or do I need to get you fired? " He repeated he didn't work there so I said "Then stop harassing other customers" About that time, a checkout opened and I checked out and left
Story 3. As soon as the store manager said "she" was coming in for an interview I knew where this was going and knew it was gonna be sweet. I was honestly surprised by Karen's moment of self reflection.
I used to live in a house in Virginia, that was on a busy 2-lane road. Whoever numbered the road was an idiot! Just down the street, it turned into another town. Well, there was a dentist's office with the same street number, but it was (orher town), not (our town). We would get mail for them and vice versa. We also frequently had people who thought our house was the dentist. One time, my husband (now ex) left the front door unlocked. I was upstairs and suddenly our dog became alert. I then followed her downstairs to find a lady in our living room, heading into the kitchen! She was like "Isn't this the dentist's office?" Uh...no. I told her where it was and she thanked me and left. I made a sign and taped it to the inside of the glass of our front door, to let people know that we weren't the dentist's office and where to find it. My ex-husband thought it wasn't necessary and stupid, but it worked.
I hate when people say "The customer is always right" because that's only half of the saying. The other half is "In matters of taste." I means that the customers can choose whatever home décor they want from department stores, where the phrase originate, no matter how much it might clash.
Story 1 is one of the reasons why during the height of the pandemic I drew faces on my masks and the ones I wore when shopping was designed to be scary, I called it my "War Face".
Like how they used to say back in the 90s, primarily aimed at the bullies and jocks, "be nice to the nerds, because one day you'll be working for them."
I am so sorry for everyone that has to work in a society where being abused by customers is okay and defending yourself is an offence. I worked as a cashier for a few years and I had my fair share of rude customers, but I only had one situation where I would have refused service if she had acted the way she did BEFORE I had already rung her up. And it would have been my right to do so.
story #5. I'm amazed that more people don't cuss out karens more often. I normally don't swear, but I'd sure as heck tear them (karens) all new ones if they got in my face and treated ME like a nothing. Kudos to wait staff and retail/grocery clerks for NOT committing crimes on karens every single day. You guys/gals got more restraint that I sure do.
Need advice, please - Former coworker (I since quit that job) assaulted me on the job. No injuries. Work supposedly has a "zero tolerance" policy for violence, but CW still works there. In my industry, word gets around real quick, and no one likes a narc. So pressing charges would be shooting myself in the foot. What to do, what to do?
I had to put a sign on my door one time when I was renting an apartment. I worked nights and slept during the day. But people just don’t read the HUGE sign that said; I AM NOT THE MANAGER !!! So every time someone would knock on my door waking me up, I was a Jerk to them !
@@GReaper No I’d ask them for their phone number. Then they would usually ask why. So I’d tell them that I was going to call them at 3sm just to wake them up as I was pointing to the sign.
@@solosynapse Believe whatever you want, I really don’t care. In our humanity we see the world through our own eyes. When we’re dishonest we think everyone is dishonest. If we’re a thief, we think everyone is a thief. If we’re a liar we think everyone is a liar, but if we’re honest we think everyone is honest. So which one are You?
Story 5 : I had to serve people like that sad to say but if I was OP would of not only tell them off, but also depending on how nasty they were would either not give her the drink and drink it myself, or put the tartar sauce in the drink before I give it to her. I an usually a kind and patient person but everyone has their limits.
Story 3, I wouldn't be all petty and pretend to give an interview, I would just straight up tell her with how she treats customers she is not getting any job that involves interacting with them.
Story 5: why don’t the other employees just quit on the spot after op got banned, it would make the manager and owner to relies that Karen should be the one banned than op
Story 1: hit me with anything, and you have now authorized me to respond with the same, in my own strength. You DONT want me to throw an apple at you. That woman got off way to easily.
Wonder whether guy living next to notary should paint their door an inappropriate color for a notary. Perhaps, blue with red ladybugs, black with skull & crossbones, or huge purple arrow pointing to “Notary Nextdoor”.🤣
Story 2: That Karen is lucky she didn’t barge into my home; she’d have been physically removed, and not gently. If you’re being rude and give me legal justification, you’re catching hands.
Story 5: when the manager called to demand Opie return to apologize, I _hope_ Opie replied something like: "Get some self-respect. Don't let losers like Karen tell you what to do."
Story 5: Honestly, she really needed that STFU. Now that OP isn't working there anymore, the filter comes off and the true feelings can come out. But yeah, the owner is better off banning her than letting her keep coming and making everyone miserable (with no tip)
Story 1: That apple wasn’t the only thing that was garbage. Thank goodness Karen got thrown out 😅 Story 2: OP needs to hang a sign on their door that says: “Notary is next door”
Story 1: Always press charges. Karen assaulted a customer with a weapon...do NOT allow her to leave...call the cops and press full charges immediately. Story 2: Karen is really lucky her actions did not result in her injury or death. OP didn't know if she was armed. Some states have Castle Doctrine & Stand Your Ground.
Story 5: My guess as to why the manager sided with the screeching Karen over OP and then banning her from that place for not coming back to apologize, is because the manager was probably scared shitless of the wrath of Karen.
Story 3: IMHO I would have allowed her to apply, let her run her thing and be as professional as possible about it, then IF she passed for the job, I would have given her a very fair warning. "I expect proper interactions here, I run this show and I will be fair but I dont take crap. Do your job right and we dont have a problem or dont wast my time." but thats just me.
Karens in this story were not the worst behaved of the bunch. At least most of them got the message eventually without going ballistic and causing property damage (aside from apples), or falsely crying to police. And the job interview one at least was smart enough to know exactly where she stood the moment she walked in.
I was a notary public for many years. In our state,at least, while we do stamp documents, we're not notarizing the contents of the documents, we are notarizing that whoever signed the document has provided proof of their identity. We have other things we can do - like officiate marriages. There are people who do it from their homes & they sometimes put up small plaques stating that they're notaries. (The plaques are not required.)
No. The actual quote is "The customer is always right IN MATTERS OF TASTE". It means that if the customer believes that a baby shit yellow lounge suite is the perfect match for mission brown & puce striped walls, then that's their call. It does NOT mean that they are correct.
Story 5 - if the owner or the manager said that to me, i’d be putting the word out about that business as catering to entitled people and i’d put an extremely nasty review of the business on every single page about it online !!!!
In the second story, I've seen a lot of small medical, legal, and similar practices in converted houses that still look like houses on the inside at least a little. I would not be surprised by seeing a notary's office look like a house.
"Please leave me alone. Also, stop fondling the fruit. It's creepy." *walks away* "Do I look stupid?" "Do you really want me to answer that question, ma'am?" $50 for gas? What does she drive, a semi? And Karen, you eat fish with your mouth.
There's no way she spent that type of money for gas in the story. However It depends on the size of the tank. Older vehicles can run near, or even g over one hundred to fill up depending on the price of gas. For example an old Chrysler New Yorker could have a twenty five plus gallon tank. I've filled a few in the past as a gas jockey, and even a few trucks with dual twenty five gallon tanks. Another factor is where the tank was at when it was being filled. If thee tank is really low, even a fifteen gallon tank depending on the duel cost can hit close to or even go over fifty dollars on a fill up.
In the last story, if was only the manager and not the owner, I would have said I'll make a complaint to the owner thw way you treat a member of the public, as to why yoo think that one rude customer can shout at another customer and only one is banned. I bet the manger is sore that OP dared to get another job and left
A thing about Story 2. I dunno if this is true anywhere else, but in several towns in Georgia and other Southern states, homes have been converted into notary, lawfirm, insurance, and even computer repair and small retail stores. From the outside they look just like a house. In a lot of them, they're also still built like a house on the inside. It's only the individual offices (which used to be bedrooms) that don't have the appropriate furniture in then. The entrance room tends to be a large living room, where the office workers have the chairs set up next to windows or pointing towards a TV just like a regular living room. What was the dining room is now probably a meeting room, but still uses a nice wooden dining table, sometimes complete with a friggin cloth everybody's grandma puts over her dining room table down here. There is almost never a specific area near the front for the receptionist. They tend to just work in the dining room or in the room closest to the front so they can easily hear knocking/doorbell.
The restaurant one I would be a little crap. “Oh sure I’ll apologize put her on the phone. Okay listen hear you imbecile or should I use smaller words like moron or idiot. I will NEVER apologize to you because no matter what the manager says he hate you just as much as the whole store. Please do never show up again. The only regret I have is that I didn’t ‘accidentally’ spill your drink and sauce on you. That man can’t make me do anything and I don’t care if I’m banned from the whole town I will NEVER apologize to you. Goodbye”
Notary story : Op SHOULD put up a sign saying "For Notary use other door ➡️/⬅️" depending on which side the Notary is on. A lot of businesses have more than one door so, most people wont be confused by this type of sign.
Story 5: Yeah... I'd be having a few words with that said manager... and promptly taking it to higher up - if there is a higher up. Wouldn't know what would come of it, but yeah, no manager should be phoning a customer - even if they are a former employee.
I always love the "I see you here all the time, so you must work here" reasoning. If I ever get that pulled on me, I'm going to point out the obvious - they are here just as much as me, so they must work there, "too".

Story 1 - Good move Karen, you order a random guy to ‘help you’ OP tells you he doesn’t work there and you throw an apple at him!?
Hopefully she was banned from the store.
funny thing is in greece its a marriage proposal
That apple would be thrown right back at her I'm not going to put up with having stuff thrown at me having nf makes me brusie easy
@@edan1841 Really?
@@tmntfangirl4700 yep, throwing apples at another person is like asking for marriage.
The story mentions that the manager told him they'd had problems with this woman before and if she caused problems one more time she WOULD be banned.
Story 5: So OP is banned from the store for cussing out an obnoxious Karen that treats everybody like garbage and constantly attempts to scam the store but the Karen still gets to come and spew her own toxic filth? As punishment for that action, the owner needs to serve her every time she comes in until they decide to ban her too.
If I was meeting with Job Interview Karen, I would do the interview. But step out to call the police at the onset. Definitely pressing assault changes after now knowing exactly who she is.
Story 3 - This one was different from what I was expecting. But I will say that Karen had enough brains to know that she REALLY effed up with OP.
If she had just been patient and left OP alone then nothing would have happened.
Honestly, it may very well have just been a bad day for her, or she was dealing with a lot of stress, and since she was job hunting I can easily see that being a contributor.
We all have times like that when we end up doing things we regret. And we also have to accept the consequences of our actions during those times. At least it seems she accepted those consequences gracefully.
I've worked in hospitality for eight years. I would have called the police and had her trespassed. No one treats my staff like that. No one.
*Last Story:* They say if you listen carefully, you can still hear Kevin arguing that OP works there.
story 5 she acts this way because the owner doesn't ban her for her behavior. Shortsighted management don't understand that customers like her hurt their business, they do not need these toxic people to spend money, as the other customers they drive away are far more profitable.
And the experienced, good employees too.
I've been cursed during work before by an old lady i've never seen someone turn tail and run so fast after i broke out chanting latin
I listened to another story earlier today about a girl helping out in her parents' old motel. Since many things had to be done manually due to their age like turning on certain lights, etc. she had gone to flip some switches to help out her parents and happened to pass by a Karen's room as she was exiting her room and she started complaining to the OP that no one was at the desk to take her room service food order when she called. The place didn't have a kitchen, so OP told her that, then the woman started berating her, so the OP said something about how she couldn't just conjure up food out of thin air. The next morning, the woman complained about OP to the owner/manager, OP's dad. She told him OP was such a bad employee and had cursed her. Not cursed AT her, but that OP had put a curse ON her, so she should be fired. OP had repeatedly told her that she didn't work there, but the Karen kept insisting that she be fired for cursing her. People be nuts, lol.
Story 5: OP should've agreed to apologize to Karen in person, go back to the restaurant and let her have it a second time instead of actually apologizing
Great episode! My favorite was story #3 where he was asked to conduct the interview. I laughed so hard. That was epic!!!!!
I bet the OP who had an apple thrown at him was fed up to the core 😁
You get to go to Pun jail for that one bub
I see what you did there, lol
A very appeeling pun there, even if the guy’s temper didn’t bear fruit!
I’ll see myself out.
Karen was rotten to it.
OI! YOU THERE! YOU GOTTA LOICENSE FOR THAT THERE PUN?!
Story one.... That manager should have already permabanned her! And now she just committed assault. 🤨
Story two.... Karen: "How stupid do you think I am?"
Me: "Do you really want me to answer that!?" 😂
I once watched a waiter see that he hadn't gotten a tip from a rude table, calmly walk up behind one of the guests from that table, and pour a glass of water down the back of his shirt before walking out. Cussing out a Karen is nothing compared to that, but both are legends.
10:00 Karen felt justified. [To herself on the way out] _"See, I _*_knew_*_ he worked here."_
Gotta love a rainy day when it becomes fluffy.
I hate when mean and rude customers get their way.
APC: Always Press Charges. It's the only way they'll learn, and if you dont, the next person Karen assaults is your fault.
Now, now, don't put the bad behavior of people on others. I do understand where you're coming from, and we should work together to stop people from being abusive & horrible to others. They should learn that bad behavior won't be rewarded.
Story 5: As satisfying and maybe appropriate in some situations as it is to tell the horrible truth to a narcissist, the even more horrible truth is that you will NOT get through to them. It's not called wounding their narcissism for nothing! Also, such people are dangerous, so please be careful what you say to them - they may attack you physically and in any case you probably will have an enemy for life.
Karen's soley exist because owners are so far removed from dealing with their own customers. As this one video shows, an owner dealing with a Karen will quite often immediately kick them out. When a Karen is harassing employees not related or friends with the owner, the owner will repeatedly thrown their employees under several double deckers to appease the demon.
Then we now have a lot of business owners saying how people don't want to work these days (despite lowest unemployment in decades), and quite often refuse to work directly with the customers themselves. We don't want to work for lazy owners anymore that'll fire anyone based on the wails of a banshee!
Story 5: I will never understand why leadership will decide to ban someone for standing up for their employees, when they cannot defend themselves from unruly customers. Instead of giving face to garbage customers, ban THEM, instead. Not that hard.
People should learn the whole phrase, it's "the customer is always right in matters of taste" - so don't let the customer always be right full stop.
The lady at the fast food restaurant, I had an incident like that at a grocery store, I was in line with a basket, the lines were long because it was busy. The guy behind me the guy behind me then said, this line is for 10 or less you need to go to another line, now. (he counted the items in my basket I guess... I had 11) I rurned around and saw a man in a polo shirt standing there with resting jerk face. I said "Finally you show up! These lines are ridiculous, due your job and GO OPEN ANOTHER REGISTER before I call you MANAGER and get you FIRED!" He looked at me and was like "What? I don't work here." I laughed and said "Of course you do, YOU are enforcing STORE POLICY, now go open a register or do I need to get you fired? " He repeated he didn't work there so I said "Then stop harassing other customers" About that time, a checkout opened and I checked out and left
"NO! _YOU_ have to serve me! Do you _know_ how fragile my ego is?!"
I'm a former fast-pitch softball pitcher (a leftie). Apple throwing Karen would have gotten a lesson on how to really throw an apple.
Would it be a rise or a drop???
With a full-on beanball.
Story 3. As soon as the store manager said "she" was coming in for an interview I knew where this was going and knew it was gonna be sweet. I was honestly surprised by Karen's moment of self reflection.
I used to live in a house in Virginia, that was on a busy 2-lane road. Whoever numbered the road was an idiot! Just down the street, it turned into another town. Well, there was a dentist's office with the same street number, but it was (orher town), not (our town). We would get mail for them and vice versa. We also frequently had people who thought our house was the dentist. One time, my husband (now ex) left the front door unlocked. I was upstairs and suddenly our dog became alert. I then followed her downstairs to find a lady in our living room, heading into the kitchen! She was like "Isn't this the dentist's office?" Uh...no. I told her where it was and she thanked me and left. I made a sign and taped it to the inside of the glass of our front door, to let people know that we weren't the dentist's office and where to find it. My ex-husband thought it wasn't necessary and stupid, but it worked.
I hate when people say "The customer is always right" because that's only half of the saying. The other half is "In matters of taste." I means that the customers can choose whatever home décor they want from department stores, where the phrase originate, no matter how much it might clash.
Story 1 is one of the reasons why during the height of the pandemic I drew faces on my masks and the ones I wore when shopping was designed to be scary, I called it my "War Face".
Story 3: This is why I treat everyone I meet with respect. You'll never know if someone you meet will be your future boss
Like how they used to say back in the 90s, primarily aimed at the bullies and jocks, "be nice to the nerds, because one day you'll be working for them."
@@GReaper EXACTLY!!!
Story 3: I saw that coming as soon as the call came in for him to go to the office to do an interview, lmao. Ah, to be a fly on that wall!
I am so sorry for everyone that has to work in a society where being abused by customers is okay and defending yourself is an offence.
I worked as a cashier for a few years and I had my fair share of rude customers, but I only had one situation where I would have refused service if she had acted the way she did BEFORE I had already rung her up. And it would have been my right to do so.
story #5. I'm amazed that more people don't cuss out karens more often. I normally don't swear, but I'd sure as heck tear them (karens) all new ones if they got in my face and treated ME like a nothing. Kudos to wait staff and retail/grocery clerks for NOT committing crimes on karens every single day. You guys/gals got more restraint that I sure do.
Plot twist, OP did indeed curse her. But it was a light alligned spell that only works on hellish entities.
Need advice, please -
Former coworker (I since quit that job) assaulted me on the job. No injuries. Work supposedly has a "zero tolerance" policy for violence, but CW still works there.
In my industry, word gets around real quick, and no one likes a narc. So pressing charges would be shooting myself in the foot. What to do, what to do?
"It was a run-by fruiting!!"
I had to put a sign on my door one time when I was renting an apartment. I worked nights and slept during the day.
But people just don’t read the HUGE sign that said;
I AM NOT THE MANAGER !!!
So every time someone would knock on my door waking me up, I was a Jerk to them !
I hope the first words outta your mouth every time were: "Can't you read the f***ing sign?" LOL
@@GReaper No I’d ask them for their phone number. Then they would usually ask why.
So I’d tell them that I was going to call them at 3sm just to wake them up as I was pointing to the sign.
@@Doc1855 ::evil laugh::
@@Doc1855 Sure, that definitely happened.
@@solosynapse Believe whatever you want, I really don’t care.
In our humanity we see the world through our own eyes. When we’re dishonest we think everyone is dishonest. If we’re a thief, we think everyone is a thief. If we’re a liar we think everyone is a liar, but if we’re honest we think everyone is honest.
So which one are You?
Story 5 : I had to serve people like that sad to say but if I was OP would of not only tell them off, but also depending on how nasty they were would either not give her the drink and drink it myself, or put the tartar sauce in the drink before I give it to her. I an usually a kind and patient person but everyone has their limits.
Story 3, I wouldn't be all petty and pretend to give an interview, I would just straight up tell her with how she treats customers she is not getting any job that involves interacting with them.
Story 3. If thats her first impression imagine working with her
Story 5: why don’t the other employees just quit on the spot after op got banned, it would make the manager and owner to relies that Karen should be the one banned than op
For Story #5, I would have said, "So if I don't get this you will never ever come back? Do you promise? That is such wonderful news to hear."
Story 2: "How stupid do you think I am?"
"Do you really want me to answer that?"
I always ❤ fluff feathers’ comeback after each story. Never once have I disagreed🎉
Story 2: sign on the door: "For notary, knock on other door"
Story 1: hit me with anything, and you have now authorized me to respond with the same, in my own strength.
You DONT want me to throw an apple at you.
That woman got off way to easily.
2 days left for us in the USA. I hope that everyone is ready.
Thank you for the video. And I hope all has a blessed day.
Wonder whether guy living next to notary should paint their door an inappropriate color for a notary. Perhaps, blue with red ladybugs, black with skull & crossbones, or huge purple arrow pointing to “Notary Nextdoor”.🤣
"Youll never be more thana. Fast food worker" says the woman who is interviewing for a cashier job that same day.
Story 2: That Karen is lucky she didn’t barge into my home; she’d have been physically removed, and not gently. If you’re being rude and give me legal justification, you’re catching hands.
It’s rainy so hard and ugly where I am so this is such a wonderful treat
Story 5: when the manager called to demand Opie return to apologize, I _hope_ Opie replied something like:
"Get some self-respect. Don't let losers like Karen tell you what to do."
Well, you know what they say: "An apple a day, keeps anyone away - if you trow it hard enough!" 😂
I would have called police on apple throwing Karen. Technically its assault.
Story 5: Yeah, if they're going to kiss up to Entitled Karen's then the store deserves all the lack of revenue that entails.
Story 5: Honestly, she really needed that STFU. Now that OP isn't working there anymore, the filter comes off and the true feelings can come out.
But yeah, the owner is better off banning her than letting her keep coming and making everyone miserable (with no tip)
Correction, OP was the one banned, not the Karen, so the owner failed big time.
Story 1: That apple wasn’t the only thing that was garbage. Thank goodness Karen got thrown out 😅
Story 2: OP needs to hang a sign on their door that says: “Notary is next door”
I would have been like..”hey Karen..how’d you like those apples”. 😅😂
Story 1: Always press charges. Karen assaulted a customer with a weapon...do NOT allow her to leave...call the cops and press full charges immediately.
Story 2: Karen is really lucky her actions did not result in her injury or death. OP didn't know if she was armed. Some states have Castle Doctrine & Stand Your Ground.
“An Apple a day keeps the doctor away…”
But it does nothing for the average Karen….
"I'm never coming back!" - Is that a promise? I wish the customers who broke that promise could be repremanded.
Story 5: OP you are my hero ❤
Story 5: if I were op who got banned for saying that i would have told the owner the lady deserved it and I gladly would take the ban
Story 5: My guess as to why the manager sided with the screeching Karen over OP and then banning her from that place for not coming back to apologize, is because the manager was probably scared shitless of the wrath of Karen.
Good thing op didn’t throw the soda and sauce, that’s assault, especially when the manager clearly wasn’t on her side.
Story 3: IMHO I would have allowed her to apply, let her run her thing and be as professional as possible about it, then IF she passed for the job, I would have given her a very fair warning. "I expect proper interactions here, I run this show and I will be fair but I dont take crap. Do your job right and we dont have a problem or dont wast my time." but thats just me.
When the manager asked the op to come back to apologize, I would have asked if I'd get pay for it.
Karens in this story were not the worst behaved of the bunch. At least most of them got the message eventually without going ballistic and causing property damage (aside from apples), or falsely crying to police. And the job interview one at least was smart enough to know exactly where she stood the moment she walked in.
Another Fluff story and it's another day that I'm happy to have a grumpy resting face
I was a notary public for many years. In our state,at least, while we do stamp documents, we're not notarizing the contents of the documents, we are notarizing that whoever signed the document has provided proof of their identity. We have other things we can do - like officiate marriages. There are people who do it from their homes & they sometimes put up small plaques stating that they're notaries. (The plaques are not required.)
I just started eating an apple when Fluff read the first story.
No. The actual quote is "The customer is always right IN MATTERS OF TASTE". It means that if the customer believes that a baby shit yellow lounge suite is the perfect match for mission brown & puce striped walls, then that's their call. It does NOT mean that they are correct.
Story 5 - if the owner or the manager said that to me, i’d be putting the word out about that business as catering to entitled people and i’d put an extremely nasty review of the business on every single page about it online !!!!
Word of mouth is still an effective method of advertising.
Should not have “fired” you for her sake. You put your foot down and shut those a-holes up!!!
10:21 Pretty impressive that his parents own a small town! Most would settle with the motel...
If I'm not mistaken, the first story was later updated by the OP and they admitted that it was fiction.
In the second story, I've seen a lot of small medical, legal, and similar practices in converted houses that still look like houses on the inside at least a little. I would not be surprised by seeing a notary's office look like a house.
"Please leave me alone. Also, stop fondling the fruit. It's creepy." *walks away*
"Do I look stupid?" "Do you really want me to answer that question, ma'am?"
$50 for gas? What does she drive, a semi? And Karen, you eat fish with your mouth.
There's no way she spent that type of money for gas in the story.
However It depends on the size of the tank. Older vehicles can run near, or even g over one hundred to fill up depending on the price of gas. For example an old Chrysler New Yorker could have a twenty five plus gallon tank. I've filled a few in the past as a gas jockey, and even a few trucks with dual twenty five gallon tanks. Another factor is where the tank was at when it was being filled. If thee tank is really low, even a fifteen gallon tank depending on the duel cost can hit close to or even go over fifty dollars on a fill up.
In the last story, if was only the manager and not the owner, I would have said I'll make a complaint to the owner thw way you treat a member of the public, as to why yoo think that one rude customer can shout at another customer and only one is banned.
I bet the manger is sore that OP dared to get another job and left
A thing about Story 2. I dunno if this is true anywhere else, but in several towns in Georgia and other Southern states, homes have been converted into notary, lawfirm, insurance, and even computer repair and small retail stores. From the outside they look just like a house. In a lot of them, they're also still built like a house on the inside. It's only the individual offices (which used to be bedrooms) that don't have the appropriate furniture in then. The entrance room tends to be a large living room, where the office workers have the chairs set up next to windows or pointing towards a TV just like a regular living room. What was the dining room is now probably a meeting room, but still uses a nice wooden dining table, sometimes complete with a friggin cloth everybody's grandma puts over her dining room table down here. There is almost never a specific area near the front for the receptionist. They tend to just work in the dining room or in the room closest to the front so they can easily hear knocking/doorbell.
As soon as the manager called in story 3 I knew what was happening next
When I heard the manager ask to do an interview I started laughing
The restaurant one I would be a little crap. “Oh sure I’ll apologize put her on the phone. Okay listen hear you imbecile or should I use smaller words like moron or idiot. I will NEVER apologize to you because no matter what the manager says he hate you just as much as the whole store. Please do never show up again. The only regret I have is that I didn’t ‘accidentally’ spill your drink and sauce on you. That man can’t make me do anything and I don’t care if I’m banned from the whole town I will NEVER apologize to you. Goodbye”
"How stupid do you think I am?" Ma'am, my estimation of your intelligence decreases by the second.
When a Karen when they ask "how stupid do you think I am?" or similar... why no one responds "Very..."
Notary story : Op SHOULD put up a sign saying "For Notary use other door ➡️/⬅️" depending on which side the Notary is on. A lot of businesses have more than one door so, most people wont be confused by this type of sign.
karen: how stupid do you think I am?
me: do you really want me to answer that?
Story 1: OP shoulda told Karen as she was leaving, "How do you like them apples?"
Story 5: Yeah... I'd be having a few words with that said manager... and promptly taking it to higher up - if there is a higher up. Wouldn't know what would come of it, but yeah, no manager should be phoning a customer - even if they are a former employee.
