She's working double shifts on Christmas at a movie theater and ends up being assaulted and hospitalized by a jerk customer? While on her break? I hope all her future Christmases are happier and noneventful.
@@lancerevell5979a decade or so in jail with no parole and 5 years probation with ankle monitoring. They probably have drugs somewhere with how unhinged and violent they were, so they might get more time added for possession and under the influence.
Story 6: Not only will Karen & terminator-boi going to be in jail/prison but OP can sue for lost wages from both jobs...plus all medical bills...but also for punitive damages.
Story 6: That Karen and her husband is going to have a large medical bill when they are convicted along with losing their livelihoods when their jobs get wind of this. Honesty employee need to have some jackets to hide their uniforms to avoid these waste of life.
If I'd been the security guard, I wouldn't have restrained the dude, I'd have decked him with all my might right then and there. The "he was uncontrollable, a danger to everyone around him and had to be neutralized" probably would've been a good defence.
Jacket won't solve it. You give us jacket, and we won't wear it for some reasons or another. Really, for employees like us, we will think, "Meh, it's only five minutes in and out, why bother ..."
The reason for reduced hours at Starbucks is definitely in part due to customers like that old man in story 3. Baristas were already poorly treated before the pandemic, but many have jumped ship due to worsened treatment from management and customers as well as stagnant pay and reduced tips. Maybe if they were treated and paid fairly, they would have enough staff to be open by 5 every day. Just a thought. I'd love to go back to making coffees, but I cannot stand how customers treat employees these days.
@alannajones330 yeah i always keep 1s and 5s in my wallet now and *very* generously tip food service workers and go out of my way around retail workers to give them as little work as possible
I really want someone to respond to someone demanding they work off the clock by saying, "I will be happy to serve you as soon as you look into the camera (even if there isn't one) and state clearly that you will take all responsibility for fines and other monetary compensation for the company breaking labor laws".
God I hate when these stories end with the asshole getting everything they wanted! Hopefully he tried to behavior again only this time it didn't pan out for him (as they say, when Karens and Kevins get away with their bad behavior, they tend to think their "invincible" and get more brazen till eventually it ends badly for them. Me and My mother 20 years back so I was 16 once witness something like this type of asshole! Thing was he got security called on him and no joke, dumb ass FOUGHT with FOUR GUYS, they were smaller then his "nothing but muscle" ass. But eventually they brought him down and seeing how it was on camera, we were leaving the mall for Toys R Us and KMart nearby when we saw the him being dragged out in cuffs by the Police, the two officers DWARVED this guy as they lead him out)
I'd have done exactly that, and told an employee to call the cops and tell them how he was screaming at a lady, I tried to defend her, and he tried to attack me so I kicked him in the nuts
Story 6: If OP filed a lawsuit against the Karen and her SO, OP would, ironically, be fulfilling the dreadful duo's demands to "serve" Karen, just not in the way she meant!
Story 6: Siccing your SO on other people is not how you solve your problems, you'll just get arrested instead. Like, Karen decided that instead of just going away and bothering someone else, she decided that OP need to be harassed and assaulted for not doing what she wanted. That man also needs some anger management, he does not seem to know how to not get physical
It's causse then Karen can throw her SO under the bus when she wants to make a clean get away! But I don't feel bad for that jackass, hope the bills, court fees and his time in prison break him that even a mouse squawking will make him feel unsettled for the rest of his day! Bonus if the harpy divorces him, makes him a wage slave while moving on to a "new sugar daddy" as his "reward for being such a POS Simp" And yeah he needs anger management, a part of me HOPES in jail he "lets that anger out again" only for his fellow prisoners to "show their not some random civilian who are caught off guard that a POS like him attacked them" because their use to "putting fools like him who think they can beat people to a pulp easily in their place" and HE'S the one walking away with more injuries then he did to the Poster! The Harpy is a bitch, but he had no right to do ANYTHING of what he did, even if he wants to play the "fighting for his wife honor" (in which "what honor?")
There's also something to say about a man who can be so easily influenced by his wife. Psychology teaches us that the male brain works on logic, so for that man to get so violent so quickly shows a lot of insecurity.
@@kenetickups6146 for decades now, psychology has understood that male and female brains are wired very differently. Some have dated it to evolution, where men had to go out and focus on hunting/cultivating in order to return home alive while females had to keep the children safe and the peace at home so that the worn out hunters had a safe place to come home to. Others have expressed this by considering us two seperate beings with different ways of life congregating in a land completely foreign to us. Even others expressed it as the female brain being a plate of spaghetti or yarn, with everything jumbled together and touching one another (which is why a bottle cap can remind your wife of her grandmother's spoon collection) while male brains are more like a series of compartments that are never touching and never examined together (leading to a lack of communicating multitasking and the genderly unique skill of having something called the "nothing box") In all the research on the topic that I have done, there has been a general overlying concensus that binds them all together: "men think logically while women think emotionally. There are benefits to both ways of thinking, and trying to understand the other's point of view is crucial for peace, but denying your proclivities by trying to adopt the opposing mindset only invites self-chaos."
Story 3: Lack of coffee can make one cranky, but this guy should've known about the reduced hours. Also, I don't think any random employee can just open up the Starbucks, I think the manager needs to.
but Starbucks is not really coffee. it is a coffee milkshake and not as good as the ones I use to get every Sunday after I went to Church. Of course a lot had to do with the great taste as a child because if my dad know I drunk any form of coffee I would be punished. also the nickle was taken out of the collection moneys that my parents gave me to give to the church. I an bad and I know it.....
Even if he's tall, I'd go up and start screaming at him. Fuck those assholes, and I know how to cripple tall people as a short person, so even if he tried to fight, I'd beat the shit out of him. I'd defend that lady
Because far too many people have the mentality of "ain't my business". I mean, yes, mind your own business, but if you see someone being browbeaten like that, step the f*ck up.
There’s also the bystander effect where people think “someone *else* will help them, I don’t have to get involved” and they either stay and watch or just leave thinking someone else will help
Hopefully you don't shoot him. Hopefully you hold him at gunpoint till security or the police come for him so he can pee in his pants and get a upfront look at WHY YOU DON'T PUT YOUR HANDS ON PEOPLE FOR NO FUCKING REASON (People love to "intimidate" till it leads to them getting hurt when they discover all it did was make people "respond accordingly")
@paulman34340 I understand where you're coming from, but dudes like the one in the story only understand violence. They'll try to hospitalize you if they dont get the desired outcome, and if you can't beat them physically, then the lethal route is best
Story 6 - I hope OP is alright and that Karen and her idiot husband were arrested and jailed for the assault. At least some good people stepped up to help OP and make sure those two low life’s didn’t escape.
A long and busy day without food, demanded she serve off the clock, intimidation and assault resulting in actual bodily harm and the loss of a meal...I hope OP pressed charges and sued the shit out of the two sorry excuses of human trash...
One time a guy tried to rob a dollar store in our area that my neighbor was working at and he just kinda pulled his shirt to the side to show her his gun. She looked at him and said "really?" and he wasn't prepared for that I guess so he just was like "oh nevermind" and left. Was on the news and it was hilarious lol
Story 5: OP's response (and I'd pay for ALL her groceries to see the look on his face) would be great if she responded: "Y'know, if I had a baseball bat, I'd see if I could take you out of the gene pool"
I just have to wonder how true these are or if they are made up for entertainment bc there just can't really be that many out right clueless people that think an employee would lie about working somewhere while on the clock. I really do hope that one day I either witness this or have it happen first hand so I know that these are really true😅
Story 6: Wow, I sure hope charges were pressed, not only for criminal assault but also for medical bills and time lost from work, as well as punitive damages since the actions were clearly done with malicious intent. OP is entitled to all of it!
People need to stop saying sorry over and over as Karens accuse them of working somewhere. Because to Karens that just sounds they're apologizing for being a bad employee. If someone starts ranting at you about getting back to work just repeatedly say "I don't work here" until the idiot either gets it or skulks off to find a manager. Do not say sorry.
I relate to op in story 4, i also turn into sarcastic a*****e mode when im in those tyoes of situations. My first summer at my new job a guy tried to throw a note at me, and had an motioned that he had a gun. I couldnt read the note so i put it aside, told him to dont cut the people paying, cleared the place out, and asked him to show me the gun ( im from a military fam.) He pulled it out and i told him that i sold that nerf gun at my last job, and to take the orange cap on it to try to make it look real, tossed his note and told him to learn to write cause his note is scribbles, and told him he gets nothing. He started crying and tried to cash in a lotto ticket as a new customer who knew me came in. I scanned it and tossed it at him saying like him its not a winner. After he slumped off wimpering , we had a laugh.
*Story 5-* *I had a guy say something like that to me!!!* In the complex I live in, there’s a creepy guy that always stocked me. Everyone else thought he was the nicest and sweetest person, so I didn’t wanna seem like that jerk who hates people, so I just tried to ignore/avoid him as much as I could. One time, he purposely came to my apartment and told me “If you weren’t married, I’d be all over you. Even though I’m double your age.” He kept talking to me, and touching my arm, and every time he touched me, I took a step back. Eventually, I was against the wall and he was in my apartment! I had back problems and if I stood for too long, it hurt really bad! I wanted to sit down, but I knew if I said that, he thought I’d be inviting him to sit down. So, I just put up with the pain. Eventually, I got him to leave (I don’t remember how), but I told my hubby what happened when he got home. My hubby went straight over to the dudes apartment and told him to leave me alone! And I thought it was over because I hadn’t seen the creep in a while. But, then one day, I went to get the mail and the dude popped up! He told me “Good thing your husband isn’t here, or he wouldn’t be happy!” And he kept touching my arm again until I was against the stairs. My hubby told me that it didn’t matter if everyone in the complex liked him. “There’s a line, and he’s crossed it too many times!” So, we had to report him to the manager. Now, if he tries to talk to me, he’s gonna get reported to the police!
@@Rylosalex I’m the luckiest woman in the world to have my hubby!!! ❤️ *He’s my garden angel!!!* He’s helped me get away from bad places in my life, and has helped me grow as a person 🥰
Personally if it was me in the pumping story when he asked what i was doing since he assumed i worked there i would've said what's it look like I'm getting the milk ready to make the coffees, duh. What did you think we used here? 😂😂😂
Story 6: bad news is (and before anyone says otherwise, this happened to me before) they can call the theater and threaten OP. And you can thank Google for that
It's a mystery to me that retail and fast food workers put up with all that shit on a daily basis. I have to admit, I don't care if it's a customer, an elder or my boss, I want to be treated properly.
That story about the person breaking their collar bone and having the pasta land on their face made me so mad😡 I'm not a confrontational person and I don't condone violence, however I have zero tolerance for disgusting behaviour and I certainly would have liked to have put that ass in his place with zero cares for my own safety. The way we treat our fellow human is absolutely reprehensible.
Concerning story #2, I bet that the old man was on that particular list one NEVER leaves unless they're found "not guilty" of particular felonies Concerning story #6, both RB and "husband" ought to have charges of assault/attempted murder levied against them
Story 5, I would've started swinging with my large purse (with my portable charger in it, it would do damage). Always aim for the head to disorient and go for the sucker punch to the gut or sucker kick to the kneecap.
Story 5: OMG!! The nerve of that guy!! When he switched to charming and said "See? That wasn't so hard was it?" I wanted to scream in frustration and when he said "You should smile more." OP should have decked him or thrown a couple of cans of whatever was close by at him.
While I agree that phrase is maddening, OP was lacking in confidence at the time as she had stated being in the midst of divorcing abusive ex husband who weaponized the crap out of gaslighting. Takes a bit to get the intrusive thoughts out of your head and rebuild the self esteem that one has been robbed of when in a toxic relationship.
4:55 Two things: 1. If OP worked there she wouldn’t (I hope) be shopping while still on her shift. 2. Employees can shop at the same place they work at. I used to work at a grocery store and would sometimes do my shopping after clocking out.
Story 6 reminded me of when I used to work at a cinema, and my encounter with Steroid Dad. In UK films of certificate 15 are strict with the LAW - NO Under 15's allowed at all. Opening week of the film Ted which is 15 certificate in UK (didn't we have problems with entitled parents wanting to bring children), a BIG muscly guy lets call him Steroid Dad (even down to wearing the sleeveless vest, arms like tree trunks) came over to where I was checking tickets, asking if the screening of Ted was going in yet. Screen still being cleaned, so he goes back to where his family are seated in the foyer - his son did NOT look anywhere near 15 years old. I asked a passing supervisor to subtly look at the family to confirm my suspicions (Supervisor: "WTF? The kid looks like he's 10"). I had a bad feeling about Steroid Dad so I asked if the supervisor stay next to drop box until I check the family. Steroid Dad brings his family over, when I ask the usual question if the son has proof of age due to the film's certificate... ...like a switch flipped, Steroid Dad is not just angry - he is red-faced muscly wall of rage "He don't need proof of age! I know how old he is!" Supervisor steps in and calmly explains the legal side of only 15 and over to be allowed in to Ted, Steroid Dad got more aggressive and threatening. Long story short it took TWO supervisors, TWO managers, and FOUR center security guards (cinema was located within a shopping/sporting leisure centre) to escort the family out (or rather escort Steroid Dad out while his wife and son followed).
My friend and I pulled into a Starbucks parking lot to find my phone that fell between my seat on a camping trip. An car full of young men came to our ford escape to complain that Starbucks was not opened and wanted to know when we were going to open it for them. I and my friend looked at them like they were all stupid and stated we didn't work there and only pulled into the parking lot to find my phone so I can call my sister back. They kept getting irrate and one of the friends who was still sitting in the guys car came over to reason with his friends and tell them we didn't work at Starbucks, since we were wearing tank tops, sweat pant capri's and flip flops with a ford escape packed with stuff for a camping trip. I finally told them that they must not heard that all Starbucks were closed due to sensitivity training for all staff after a white starbucks barista had three black men arrested after they came in to get coffee and wait to meet someone there. They apologized to us for their mistake and told us to have a great weekend and we left to go get our groceries at Walmart
I've thought when reading one where the OP is wearing the same color as an employee (or a similar shade) if Karens expect people to keep several shirts and coats in their car. That way they can check the store colors an change tops accordingly. Of course given the number of stories where Karen's bother people wearing tye dye or pajamas, that wouldn't always work. Not to mention Karens would call the cops on women for indecent exposure.
Story 6 the guy should have sued the insane couple for assault and bodily harm and trauma. Sued for everything they owned and pressed full charges so they stayed in prison
I've had a couple of "i don't work here" moments. only a 1-2 escalated beyond informing them that I don't. I've found creative insults are usually a fairly decent way to shut them down quickly. "You're about as sharp as a marble if you think I work here!" is one of my favorites. another I've used is "if you were half as smart as you think you are, you'd be twice as smart as you really are!"
I don't understand why all these Karen's sit there and just clear their throats. How hard is it to say pardon me or excuse me? And on that same note how hard is it to add "do you happen to work here?" Anytime that I am out and I end up needing help reaching something or finding something if I see someone I think that might know the answer I will say "Excuse me but do you work here?" I've even been in a tough spot and have seen people I know were customers walking down the same aisle I was and when they got close to me I told them I realize you don't work here but could you help me get this from the top shelf and they were more than happy to help me grab my item and then go on their way and me go on mine. It's not that hard people. These Karen's just want to try and fight with anybody in order to make themselves feel good for that hour.
I honestly don't get that cause in my country we don't have badges so when I was at school I always assumed whoever was there was either staff or a parent, but yeah it seemed like he only got harassed cause he was a man
@@frostkilling ‘In your country.’ That’s the key. In America, we’ve been force-fed this fearmongering narrative of ‘stranger danger’ since the 80’s. The result of that constant fear is that nowadays, every stranger is a pedo until proven otherwise.

Story 6 - The Alamo Draft House model of movie theater. I remember going to the original in downtown Austin way back in the 1990's. My mom called the wait staff the Groucho Marx look-alike competitors for the bent-over way they walked while serving to stay out of patrons' line of sight to the screen.
@@lancerevell5979 Would never stick. Only an abject failure of a lawyer wouldn't be able to spin it into reasonable concern over their child's safety in front of a judge. Honestly, I only half blame the mom, she saw saw someone new at the school, with no ID badge cause the school stupidly got rid of them, Not on the website staff list and not collecting a child. She did not handle it tactfully, but she didn't attack OP or whip up a mob against them, just was a bit of a bitch.
Sometimes I wonder how many of these Karens appear in more than one story. It isn’t an impossibility. I would have asked theatre Karen where she works so I can come harass her during her break and see how she likes it. And if she said she doesn’t work, I’d tell her she has no concept of life, and to take her entitled self to Services and wait in l8ne. The instant her back was turned, I’d have been on my way.
I'm glad in the first story the OP at least did have an understanding of the concern involved with the parent. Like he didn't hold it against her or anything, which is lovely on his part. The reason I bring that up is because I'm one of those people who will go full on Mama Bear Karen on anyone with regard to the safety and well-being of my children and I really dont care how it looks or seems. A lot of that stems from my own past traumas and ptsd. I am sorry he got caught in the crosshairs, of course, but I'm also thankful he didn't get offended by it and didn't outright judge her poorly for it. She didn't know, and she was doing what she thought best for the safety of her kids and other kids at the school, which personally I can appreciate. Good on him for being good-natured about it and calmly deescalating and resolving the situation without causing anyone any harm or further stress.
No, she should have gone to the office about it first unless she saw him interacting with students in a negative way. The reason she reported several parents being concerned is because she put it into their heads that something bad was going on with that guy.
@@kodahansen8080 you're welcome to that view. And for the most part I agree. I'd be much more and have been much more careful about these things around their school settings. She likely should have paused. But at the same time you don't get to dictate how someone responds to a perceived threat or potential past trauma. You may not like it and might not do it that way but as someone that would and has in certain situations, like when I cussed at grown men drinking at the edges of a children's park while they were consistently staring at the young girls. Or when some asshole tried to take my toddlers food from her when we were at a park bench trying to have lunch. Or when some sucker on the bus thought it appropriate to put his fingers on my kids mouth and I nearly ripped them off his hand. So as someone that understands where something like this can stem from? I'm just glad that the OP was able to let it roll off his back without escalating an already tense situation. /They/ did good.
As to the woman that idiot yelled at and threatened to call the police she should have called and said she was being harassed and felt scared. Then when the police showed up that idiot would have a serious problem. As to the person that was assaulted and harmed the a holes should serve time in jail on a federal charge and be sued into poverty.
Story 6 about her being attacked in the theater reminds me of an incident I saw at our local theater. The popcorn maker was down for cleaning, so they were giving everyone a voucher for a free, medium, popcorn when it was back up. This one yahoo was screaming that the machine was fine, that they were being lazy, that they just needed to listen to him and make his popcorn. He actually kicked the door to the little cafe area so hard that one of the hinges broke and stormed in and started backhanding the staff. It took three individuals to drag him out, and when the cops showed up, they had to taze him to get him into cuffs and get him out of the theater. And the entire time, until they tazed him, he was screaming how he was going to sue, he was going to return and ram his truck into the theater becuase they "deserved it", that he was going to come back and "eff everyone up", etc., and how they HAD to give him his popcorn. And no, he wasn't on drugs, and he wasn't elderly. He was just really effing entitled.
That last story reminds me of something I dealt with about 40 years ago. This was before the days of either caller ID or cell phones. After getting married, my husband and I moved into a small house. Got a phone call for someone asking for Jim. I told them they had the wrong number. Not sure how much time went by, guy calls again, asking for Jim. I told him again that he had the wrong number. I don't know how long this went on, but it was ALWAYS the same guy asking for Jim. Then he called and woke me up. When I told him again that he had the wrong number, he asked if I knew Jim's number. And I snapped. You don't wake me up, then ask for something dumb. I don't recall now what all I said (screamed?) to him, but he finally got the message that I don't know Jim and don't know his number. He never called back. 😅
As a Walmart employee, I just wanted to mention the dress code is really lax now. The only real requirements are to wear our vest and name tag. Atm I am wearing a black and orange long sleeve shirt with a web with an orange spider that has a gold heart on the abdomen and a long black skirt. Also wearing a necklace with Mega Beedrill on it.

She did not handle it tactfully, but she didn't attack OP or whip up a mob against them, just was a bit of a bitch. And HOW FUCKING UNSAFE IS THAT SCHOOL, anyone could walk up to a kid and say they are a new member of staff. This is 100% that schools fuck up over anyone elses.
Yup! At my school (UK) EVERYONE must have a staff ID: senior staff, teachers/assistants, office, business management, IT, kitchen/lunch ladies, after-school clubs leaders... Even visitors can only enter if they signed in and received a visitor pass (a different colour lanyard).
Story 4: TL;DR: Don't do robberies. Anyway, about self-checkouts: Yes, they can have cash in them if they accept cash. However, robbing a self checkout of all things (although it could be done, especially when the employees are handling the cash that goes in the machines in the open) is incredibly stupid in a store with normal cash registers and in general. Robbery as a whole as far as stores go generally isn't actually going to get you much cash anyway. On top of that, robberies are a risky crime to commit in terms of both the likelihood of being caught and not only the safety of the person you're threatening, but your own. I've seen a stupid amount of instances where the robber gets shot. Honestly, you'd have better luck stealing the merchandise with force. (Yes, this is a thing people have been charged with robbery for.) Even then, good luck getting away with it. Doing it in back to back spree form is even worse, beceven if you'd gotten away with one, having multiple extremely close together is a great way to guarantee at least one other ends it all. Seriously, just don't commit robberies. The reward is not worth the risk unless you want to get caught or be dead.
That one with the creepy guy demanding the taco aisle. Would have laughed and said “sorry dude, I wouldn’t touch with you a ten foot pole not even if you were the last sleazy man on earth.”
Yeah, should have taken his "ill gotten earnings" and got out of dodge! Instead like Gambling Idiots, he fell for the Sucker Game that was "Double or Nothing" and lost it all (his ill earnings, and his freedom) Hopefully the shock from the tazer jump started his barely used brain so as he's lead away, he realizes "that he should have just RAN after the last store!"
I laughed out loud at the end of the video when I heard you say a “Karen faces consequences that she never thought she’d face”. I’m sorry, but that’s flipping hilarious. Imagining a Karen actually “thinking” about the consequences of her actions, has my brain completely shutting down and attempting to reboot itself. It simply does not compute. You beautifully funny, silly man, Karen’s don’t “think” They NEVER think, that’s what makes them Karens 😂 [correction - apologies, Karens DO actually think, but ONLY about themselves.] Karen - Consequences, what are they? I think you’re just making up words now, trying to sound clever 😂
Haha yeah, it _is_ funny that a thief believes someone saying they don't work there, but a law-abiding Karen will absolutely never buy it. Story 5: Spaghettios? _Spaghettios?!_ Heathen! _CHEF BOYARDEE RAVIOLI FOREVER!!!!_
You don't know it's a bad or dangerous situation until it's really clearly not. Which life threatening situation from the News, might have not had to happen if someone had been nosey or as careful as this Karen was?
Story 6- I hope you allowed the judge and court room to have a FIELD DAY with this. You could get 100% of your medical bills paid by this man in addition to damages with the right lawyer.
There was one time-years ago-that I saw a man shoving a woman in the grocery store and speaking harshly to her; I had the security guard check to see if everything was okay. The WOMAN came over with her man and told me to mind my own business. I’m not sure I’d bother again.
If I ever get grabbed by a Karen or Kevin I going to do what my mamma taught me when I was younger and scream as load as I can "Stranger Danger Help! Stranger Danger!!" And start crying if they don't either back off or run away I'll keep doing it untill a employee shows up.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I live in Oregon now I move they're specifically so I can open carry a pistol on my hip so I don't have problems with people like this in stores but if someone walked up to me with a hatchet in his hand and said give me all your money I'm going to pull out my gun and point it at him and I'm going to make him get on the ground I might even say no you give me all your money, I'm not a nice person at all!
The tweaker with a hatchet is somehow more reasonable than most entitled customers. Or just a more interesting story than all the other misunderstandings that are quickly resolved.
Okay the two times where everyone noped out and when fluff said he would, i would not have. I have no flight mode. I have fight or kill. Many times i had to defend or protect people. It even gotten to the point that those who always act agresive to the drivers on my bus route, they started to behave around me because they knew i could easily pick their asses up and throw the out into oncoming traffic if i felt like they were endangering others on the bus. This one guy started to attack my coworker once and trying to bash his head in, so I went out and broke the guys ribs seven times with my window smasher on my pocket knife. Fun times.

Employees need bloody tasers
The reason for reduced hours at Starbucks is definitely in part due to customers like that old man in story 3. Baristas were already poorly treated before the pandemic, but many have jumped ship due to worsened treatment from management and customers as well as stagnant pay and reduced tips.
Maybe if they were treated and paid fairly, they would have enough staff to be open by 5 every day. Just a thought.
I'd love to go back to making coffees, but I cannot stand how customers treat employees these days.
And if Starbucks didn’t assault their employees for trying to form a Union.
This is why I tip really well at my local coffee shops. I'm in retail so I understand the pain.
@alannajones330 yeah i always keep 1s and 5s in my wallet now and *very* generously tip food service workers and go out of my way around retail workers to give them as little work as possible

Dunkin and Pepsi are leagues better then Starbucks (absolute crap I wouldn't even give my worst enemy) and coke (also nasty)
Story 2: More to the point, as a pre-school teacher OP is espousing the safety rule "Don't talk to strangers"!
I really want someone to respond to someone demanding they work off the clock by saying, "I will be happy to serve you as soon as you look into the camera (even if there isn't one) and state clearly that you will take all responsibility for fines and other monetary compensation for the company breaking labor laws".
Story 5: Kick him in the nuts. He can't be trusted with them.
God I hate when these stories end with the asshole getting everything they wanted! Hopefully he tried to behavior again only this time it didn't pan out for him (as they say, when Karens and Kevins get away with their bad behavior, they tend to think their "invincible" and get more brazen till eventually it ends badly for them. Me and My mother 20 years back so I was 16 once witness something like this type of asshole! Thing was he got security called on him and no joke, dumb ass FOUGHT with FOUR GUYS, they were smaller then his "nothing but muscle" ass.

Story 6: Siccing your SO on other people is not how you solve your problems, you'll just get arrested instead. Like, Karen decided that instead of just going away and bothering someone else, she decided that OP need to be harassed and assaulted for not doing what she wanted. That man also needs some anger management, he does not seem to know how to not get physical
It's causse then Karen can throw her SO under the bus when she wants to make a clean get away!

Bonus if the harpy divorces him, makes him a wage slave while moving on to a "new sugar daddy" as his "reward for being such a POS Simp" And yeah he needs anger management, a part of me HOPES in jail he "lets that anger out again" only for his fellow prisoners to "show their not some random civilian who are caught off guard that a POS like him attacked them" because their use to "putting fools like him who think they can beat people to a pulp easily in their place" and HE'S the one walking away with more injuries then he did to the Poster!
The Harpy is a bitch, but he had no right to do ANYTHING of what he did, even if he wants to play the "fighting for his wife honor" (in which "what honor?")
Arrested or killed. Some eople value the second amendment like they value water.
There's also something to say about a man who can be so easily influenced by his wife. Psychology teaches us that the male brain works on logic, so for that man to get so violent so quickly shows a lot of insecurity.
@@Maninawig”the male brain” what’s that supposed to mean?
@@kenetickups6146 for decades now, psychology has understood that male and female brains are wired very differently. Some have dated it to evolution, where men had to go out and focus on hunting/cultivating in order to return home alive while females had to keep the children safe and the peace at home so that the worn out hunters had a safe place to come home to.
Others have expressed this by considering us two seperate beings with different ways of life congregating in a land completely foreign to us.
Even others expressed it as the female brain being a plate of spaghetti or yarn, with everything jumbled together and touching one another (which is why a bottle cap can remind your wife of her grandmother's spoon collection) while male brains are more like a series of compartments that are never touching and never examined together (leading to a lack of communicating multitasking and the genderly unique skill of having something called the "nothing box")
In all the research on the topic that I have done, there has been a general overlying concensus that binds them all together: "men think logically while women think emotionally. There are benefits to both ways of thinking, and trying to understand the other's point of view is crucial for peace, but denying your proclivities by trying to adopt the opposing mindset only invites self-chaos."
"I don't want to ask another employee. I'm asking you."
Me: "Yeah, that IS really stupid of you."
“Wow, you don’t even know what the word ‘another’ means.”
Story 3: Lack of coffee can make one cranky, but this guy should've known about the reduced hours. Also, I don't think any random employee can just open up the Starbucks, I think the manager needs to.
but Starbucks is not really coffee. it is a coffee milkshake and not as good as the ones I use to get every Sunday after I went to Church. Of course a lot had to do with the great taste as a child because if my dad know I drunk any form of coffee I would be punished. also the nickle was taken out of the collection moneys that my parents gave me to give to the church.

Story 6 - I hope OP is alright and that Karen and her idiot husband were arrested and jailed for the assault. At least some good people stepped up to help OP and make sure those two low life’s didn’t escape.
They need serious jailtime, and a stout lawsuit.
A long and busy day without food, demanded she serve off the clock, intimidation and assault resulting in actual bodily harm and the loss of a meal...I hope OP pressed charges and sued the shit out of the two sorry excuses of human trash...
One time a guy tried to rob a dollar store in our area that my neighbor was working at and he just kinda pulled his shirt to the side to show her his gun. She looked at him and said "really?" and he wasn't prepared for that I guess so he just was like "oh nevermind" and left. Was on the news and it was hilarious lol
Story 5: OP's response (and I'd pay for ALL her groceries to see the look on his face) would be great if she responded: "Y'know, if I had a baseball bat, I'd see if I could take you out of the gene pool"
Yes, these IDWHL are my favourite, and they always make my day.
I just have to wonder how true these are or if they are made up for entertainment bc there just can't really be that many out right clueless people that think an employee would lie about working somewhere while on the clock. I really do hope that one day I either witness this or have it happen first hand so I know that these are really true😅
Story 6: Wow, I sure hope charges were pressed, not only for criminal assault but also for medical bills and time lost from work, as well as punitive damages since the actions were clearly done with malicious intent. OP is entitled to all of it!
People need to stop saying sorry over and over as Karens accuse them of working somewhere. Because to Karens that just sounds they're apologizing for being a bad employee. If someone starts ranting at you about getting back to work just repeatedly say "I don't work here" until the idiot either gets it or skulks off to find a manager. Do not say sorry.
😂 fun fact employees do not have to help you when they are on their break or off the clock
Many places they are explicitly forbidden from doing so, for legal or insurance/liability reasons
Unfortunately, in this case, OP, being off the clock can’t get worker’s comp for their injury.
2nd story: OP saved the day tearing a new ass crack to that Karen!!!
Story 4: It is pretty scary to society that as foolish as the would be robber is, he’s still dozens of IQ points smarter than most Karens and Kevins.
I relate to op in story 4, i also turn into sarcastic a*****e mode when im in those tyoes of situations. My first summer at my new job a guy tried to throw a note at me, and had an motioned that he had a gun. I couldnt read the note so i put it aside, told him to dont cut the people paying, cleared the place out, and asked him to show me the gun ( im from a military fam.) He pulled it out and i told him that i sold that nerf gun at my last job, and to take the orange cap on it to try to make it look real, tossed his note and told him to learn to write cause his note is scribbles, and told him he gets nothing. He started crying and tried to cash in a lotto ticket as a new customer who knew me came in. I scanned it and tossed it at him saying like him its not a winner. After he slumped off wimpering , we had a laugh.
Just because you can play a master thief in DnD doesn’t mean you’re a master thief irl
That Guy in the 4th story definitely qualified for the Darwin award 😂
6:22 Did anyone else think that the Karen old man was going to go into a long shaming rant on the breast-pumping mom (OP)
For the second story, I would have responded back with “and why are all old people so senile?”
"Smarter than the average Karen." I love that line!
*Story 5-* *I had a guy say something like that to me!!!* In the complex I live in, there’s a creepy guy that always stocked me. Everyone else thought he was the nicest and sweetest person, so I didn’t wanna seem like that jerk who hates people, so I just tried to ignore/avoid him as much as I could.
One time, he purposely came to my apartment and told me “If you weren’t married, I’d be all over you. Even though I’m double your age.” He kept talking to me, and touching my arm, and every time he touched me, I took a step back. Eventually, I was against the wall and he was in my apartment! I had back problems and if I stood for too long, it hurt really bad! I wanted to sit down, but I knew if I said that, he thought I’d be inviting him to sit down. So, I just put up with the pain. Eventually, I got him to leave (I don’t remember how), but I told my hubby what happened when he got home.
My hubby went straight over to the dudes apartment and told him to leave me alone! And I thought it was over because I hadn’t seen the creep in a while.
But, then one day, I went to get the mail and the dude popped up! He told me “Good thing your husband isn’t here, or he wouldn’t be happy!” And he kept touching my arm again until I was against the stairs.
My hubby told me that it didn’t matter if everyone in the complex liked him. “There’s a line, and he’s crossed it too many times!” So, we had to report him to the manager. Now, if he tries to talk to me, he’s gonna get reported to the police!
I hope your husband gets the chance to kick his ass

Story 2: Not over the line at all. Matter of fact it would have been great to see her push it even further.
Oh…wait!!! What??? I am so disappointed in story 2😢 the Karen actually believed the “I don’t work here” the first time😮 😂😂
12:51 A good response would have been, "No, but I can see you are." 😂
#1: OP should gave asked Karen, "Where's YOUR badge?"
To be fair though, he really should have had a badge or a picture on the website. I mean even janitor’s usually do too
If only Karens were properly nosey, would be less issues and actual creeps being caught and called out.
Story 6: bad news is (and before anyone says otherwise, this happened to me before) they can call the theater and threaten OP. And you can thank Google for that
It's a mystery to me that retail and fast food workers put up with all that shit on a daily basis.
I have to admit, I don't care if it's a customer, an elder or my boss, I want to be treated properly.
That story about the person breaking their collar bone and having the pasta land on their face made me so mad😡 I'm not a confrontational person and I don't condone violence, however I have zero tolerance for disgusting behaviour and I certainly would have liked to have put that ass in his place with zero cares for my own safety. The way we treat our fellow human is absolutely reprehensible.
Concerning story #2, I bet that the old man was on that particular list one NEVER leaves unless they're found "not guilty" of particular felonies
Concerning story #6, both RB and "husband" ought to have charges of assault/attempted murder levied against them

Story 6 reminded me of when I used to work at a cinema, and my encounter with Steroid Dad.
In UK films of certificate 15 are strict with the LAW - NO Under 15's allowed at all. Opening week of the film Ted which is 15 certificate in UK (didn't we have problems with entitled parents wanting to bring children), a BIG muscly guy lets call him Steroid Dad (even down to wearing the sleeveless vest, arms like tree trunks) came over to where I was checking tickets, asking if the screening of Ted was going in yet. Screen still being cleaned, so he goes back to where his family are seated in the foyer - his son did NOT look anywhere near 15 years old. I asked a passing supervisor to subtly look at the family to confirm my suspicions (Supervisor: "WTF? The kid looks like he's 10"). I had a bad feeling about Steroid Dad so I asked if the supervisor stay next to drop box until I check the family.
Steroid Dad brings his family over, when I ask the usual question if the son has proof of age due to the film's certificate...
...like a switch flipped, Steroid Dad is not just angry - he is red-faced muscly wall of rage "He don't need proof of age! I know how old he is!" Supervisor steps in and calmly explains the legal side of only 15 and over to be allowed in to Ted, Steroid Dad got more aggressive and threatening.
Long story short it took TWO supervisors, TWO managers, and FOUR center security guards (cinema was located within a shopping/sporting leisure centre) to escort the family out (or rather escort Steroid Dad out while his wife and son followed).
My friend and I pulled into a Starbucks parking lot to find my phone that fell between my seat on a camping trip. An car full of young men came to our ford escape to complain that Starbucks was not opened and wanted to know when we were going to open it for them. I and my friend looked at them like they were all stupid and stated we didn't work there and only pulled into the parking lot to find my phone so I can call my sister back. They kept getting irrate and one of the friends who was still sitting in the guys car came over to reason with his friends and tell them we didn't work at Starbucks, since we were wearing tank tops, sweat pant capri's and flip flops with a ford escape packed with stuff for a camping trip. I finally told them that they must not heard that all Starbucks were closed due to sensitivity training for all staff after a white starbucks barista had three black men arrested after they came in to get coffee and wait to meet someone there. They apologized to us for their mistake and told us to have a great weekend and we left to go get our groceries at Walmart
I've thought when reading one where the OP is wearing the same color as an employee (or a similar shade) if Karens expect people to keep several shirts and coats in their car. That way they can check the store colors an change tops accordingly. Of course given the number of stories where Karen's bother people wearing tye dye or pajamas, that wouldn't always work. Not to mention Karens would call the cops on women for indecent exposure.
Story 6 the guy should have sued the insane couple for assault and bodily harm and trauma. Sued for everything they owned and pressed full charges so they stayed in prison
I've had a couple of "i don't work here" moments. only a 1-2 escalated beyond informing them that I don't. I've found creative insults are usually a fairly decent way to shut them down quickly. "You're about as sharp as a marble if you think I work here!" is one of my favorites.
another I've used is "if you were half as smart as you think you are, you'd be twice as smart as you really are!"
I don't understand why all these Karen's sit there and just clear their throats. How hard is it to say pardon me or excuse me? And on that same note how hard is it to add "do you happen to work here?"
Anytime that I am out and I end up needing help reaching something or finding something if I see someone I think that might know the answer I will say "Excuse me but do you work here?"
I've even been in a tough spot and have seen people I know were customers walking down the same aisle I was and when they got close to me I told them I realize you don't work here but could you help me get this from the top shelf and they were more than happy to help me grab my item and then go on their way and me go on mine. It's not that hard people. These Karen's just want to try and fight with anybody in order to make themselves feel good for that hour.

Story 5: I’d just start screaming if a large man started acting threatening towards me
In general, people who get physical will back off when a targeting laser dances in their eyes.
I'm glad in the first story the OP at least did have an understanding of the concern involved with the parent. Like he didn't hold it against her or anything, which is lovely on his part. The reason I bring that up is because I'm one of those people who will go full on Mama Bear Karen on anyone with regard to the safety and well-being of my children and I really dont care how it looks or seems. A lot of that stems from my own past traumas and ptsd. I am sorry he got caught in the crosshairs, of course, but I'm also thankful he didn't get offended by it and didn't outright judge her poorly for it. She didn't know, and she was doing what she thought best for the safety of her kids and other kids at the school, which personally I can appreciate. Good on him for being good-natured about it and calmly deescalating and resolving the situation without causing anyone any harm or further stress.
No, she should have gone to the office about it first unless she saw him interacting with students in a negative way.
The reason she reported several parents being concerned is because she put it into their heads that something bad was going on with that guy.
@@kodahansen8080 you're welcome to that view. And for the most part I agree. I'd be much more and have been much more careful about these things around their school settings. She likely should have paused. But at the same time you don't get to dictate how someone responds to a perceived threat or potential past trauma. You may not like it and might not do it that way but as someone that would and has in certain situations, like when I cussed at grown men drinking at the edges of a children's park while they were consistently staring at the young girls. Or when some asshole tried to take my toddlers food from her when we were at a park bench trying to have lunch. Or when some sucker on the bus thought it appropriate to put his fingers on my kids mouth and I nearly ripped them off his hand. So as someone that understands where something like this can stem from? I'm just glad that the OP was able to let it roll off his back without escalating an already tense situation. /They/ did good.
As to the woman that idiot yelled at and threatened to call the police she should have called and said she was being harassed and felt scared. Then when the police showed up that idiot would have a serious problem. As to the person that was assaulted and harmed the a holes should serve time in jail on a federal charge and be sued into poverty.
Story 6 about her being attacked in the theater reminds me of an incident I saw at our local theater. The popcorn maker was down for cleaning, so they were giving everyone a voucher for a free, medium, popcorn when it was back up.
This one yahoo was screaming that the machine was fine, that they were being lazy, that they just needed to listen to him and make his popcorn. He actually kicked the door to the little cafe area so hard that one of the hinges broke and stormed in and started backhanding the staff. It took three individuals to drag him out, and when the cops showed up, they had to taze him to get him into cuffs and get him out of the theater. And the entire time, until they tazed him, he was screaming how he was going to sue, he was going to return and ram his truck into the theater becuase they "deserved it", that he was going to come back and "eff everyone up", etc., and how they HAD to give him his popcorn.
And no, he wasn't on drugs, and he wasn't elderly. He was just really effing entitled.
That last story reminds me of something I dealt with about 40 years ago.
This was before the days of either caller ID or cell phones.
After getting married, my husband and I moved into a small house. Got a phone call for someone asking for Jim. I told them they had the wrong number.
Not sure how much time went by, guy calls again, asking for Jim. I told him again that he had the wrong number.
I don't know how long this went on, but it was ALWAYS the same guy asking for Jim.
Then he called and woke me up. When I told him again that he had the wrong number, he asked if I knew Jim's number. And I snapped. You don't wake me up, then ask for something dumb.
I don't recall now what all I said (screamed?) to him, but he finally got the message that I don't know Jim and don't know his number. He never called back. 😅
As a Walmart employee, I just wanted to mention the dress code is really lax now. The only real requirements are to wear our vest and name tag. Atm I am wearing a black and orange long sleeve shirt with a web with an orange spider that has a gold heart on the abdomen and a long black skirt. Also wearing a necklace with Mega Beedrill on it. X3
Story 1: Honestly, I only half blame the mom, she saw saw someone new at the school, with no ID badge cause the school stupidly got rid of them, Not on the website staff list and not collecting a child.
She did not handle it tactfully, but she didn't attack OP or whip up a mob against them, just was a bit of a bitch.
And HOW FUCKING UNSAFE IS THAT SCHOOL, anyone could walk up to a kid and say they are a new member of staff. This is 100% that schools fuck up over anyone elses.
That’s what I’m thinking.
Yup!
At my school (UK) EVERYONE must have a staff ID: senior staff, teachers/assistants, office, business management, IT, kitchen/lunch ladies, after-school clubs leaders... Even visitors can only enter if they signed in and received a visitor pass (a different colour lanyard).
the moment he came out with the "I know you're not stupid" I would have cut in with "Which is surprising since you so obviously are"
Yay DarkFluff I miss you on Sunday.. hope you and Stevo are enjpying this bright and beautiful day!!!
Story 4: TL;DR: Don't do robberies.
Anyway, about self-checkouts: Yes, they can have cash in them if they accept cash. However, robbing a self checkout of all things (although it could be done, especially when the employees are handling the cash that goes in the machines in the open) is incredibly stupid in a store with normal cash registers and in general. Robbery as a whole as far as stores go generally isn't actually going to get you much cash anyway. On top of that, robberies are a risky crime to commit in terms of both the likelihood of being caught and not only the safety of the person you're threatening, but your own. I've seen a stupid amount of instances where the robber gets shot. Honestly, you'd have better luck stealing the merchandise with force. (Yes, this is a thing people have been charged with robbery for.) Even then, good luck getting away with it.
Doing it in back to back spree form is even worse, beceven if you'd gotten away with one, having multiple extremely close together is a great way to guarantee at least one other ends it all.
Seriously, just don't commit robberies. The reward is not worth the risk unless you want to get caught or be dead.
That one with the creepy guy demanding the taco aisle. Would have laughed and said “sorry dude, I wouldn’t touch with you a ten foot pole not even if you were the last sleazy man on earth.”
“If I wasn’t married I’d take you to dinner.” Oooooh, the way I would destroy that man’s confidence in his manhood.
Story 4 - Ohhh My…. What an idiot!
Yeah, should have taken his "ill gotten earnings" and got out of dodge! Instead like Gambling Idiots, he fell for the Sucker Game that was "Double or Nothing" and lost it all (his ill earnings, and his freedom) Hopefully the shock from the tazer jump started his barely used brain so as he's lead away, he realizes "that he should have just RAN after the last store!"
Is it weird that I heard your 'oh myyy' in George Takei's voice?
@@nancyomalley6286 maybe a little but it’s cool 😎
I laughed out loud at the end of the video when I heard you say a “Karen faces consequences that she never thought she’d face”.
I’m sorry, but that’s flipping hilarious.
Imagining a Karen actually “thinking” about the consequences of her actions, has my brain completely shutting down and attempting to reboot itself. It simply does not compute.
You beautifully funny, silly man,
Karen’s don’t “think”
They NEVER think, that’s what makes them Karens 😂
[correction - apologies, Karens DO actually think, but ONLY about themselves.]
Karen - Consequences, what are they? I think you’re just making up words now, trying to sound clever 😂
[raises hand in back of class]
Ummmm...teacher? Starbuck's coffee sucks.
Haha yeah, it _is_ funny that a thief believes someone saying they don't work there, but a law-abiding Karen will absolutely never buy it.
Story 5: Spaghettios? _Spaghettios?!_ Heathen! _CHEF BOYARDEE RAVIOLI FOREVER!!!!_
Story 1! I've got to say I'm glad Karen was paying attention! In some cases this could have saved lives!
And this is not one of them
@@locusxe1411yes and? It’s not only for the kids safety but also ops saftey
This was not a dangerous situation. This was a parent making an assumption because parents think they're in charge on school grounds when they are not
@@joshuadavis9216 Or hear me out, they are worried about their kids safety. I mean she handled it wrong, but her concerns are not invalid for once
You don't know it's a bad or dangerous situation until it's really clearly not.
Which life threatening situation from the News, might have not had to happen if someone had been nosey or as careful as this Karen was?
Again - assaulting an employee is still assault
Story 6- I hope you allowed the judge and court room to have a FIELD DAY with this. You could get 100% of your medical bills paid by this man in addition to damages with the right lawyer.
There was one time-years ago-that I saw a man shoving a woman in the grocery store and speaking harshly to her; I had the security guard check to see if everything was okay. The WOMAN came over with her man and told me to mind my own business.
I’m not sure I’d bother again.
If I ever get grabbed by a Karen or Kevin I going to do what my mamma taught me when I was younger and scream as load as I can "Stranger Danger Help! Stranger Danger!!" And start crying if they don't either back off or run away I'll keep doing it untill a employee shows up.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
S4: Dude was either brave as hell, or stupid as hell. Lucky bastard lives for another sarcastic interaction. I tip my hat to you, my dude.
Always wondered about the throat clearing thing. Is it because most Karens swallow rather than spitting?
I hear that throat clearing as Dolores Umbridge's "Hem, hem."
I recently saw a video where they did a mock kidnapping of a child off the street and ran into a building with them. One person out of 15 responded. Everybody else looked and continued on their way.
And this is what's wrong with the world today.
I live in Oregon now I move they're specifically so I can open carry a pistol on my hip so I don't have problems with people like this in stores but if someone walked up to me with a hatchet in his hand and said give me all your money I'm going to pull out my gun and point it at him and I'm going to make him get on the ground I might even say no you give me all your money, I'm not a nice person at all!
The tweaker with a hatchet is somehow more reasonable than most entitled customers. Or just a more interesting story than all the other misunderstandings that are quickly resolved.
Dude this is a serious problem with some people who don't really understand that people don't work here and it makes me feel sad
IDWHL, my favorite!
Okay the two times where everyone noped out and when fluff said he would, i would not have. I have no flight mode. I have fight or kill. Many times i had to defend or protect people. It even gotten to the point that those who always act agresive to the drivers on my bus route, they started to behave around me because they knew i could easily pick their asses up and throw the out into oncoming traffic if i felt like they were endangering others on the bus. This one guy started to attack my coworker once and trying to bash his head in, so I went out and broke the guys ribs seven times with my window smasher on my pocket knife. Fun times.
Oh wow, some reddit reader that actually mentions the posts/users, thumbs up.
The logic
It's 8:30 and the shop should be opened up = you work here
Well you are here too
Guy harassing OP in the grocery store said,' I know you're not stupid' to which I would have replied,' But it appears that that you are!'
And when he tried to flirt afterwards? "No thanks, I prefer my kids to have more than one generation separating them from inbreeding"
I get confused for a Walmart employee all the time. My uniform is all blue but I'm usually covered in grease and dirt.
