We often talk about Karens unleashing their wrath upon underserving workers who are just trying to make rent this month, but what happens when that shoe is on the other foot? What about the stories where the customer is just trying to make a reasonable request and gets verbally body-slammed by the employee?
It's always important to remember that both can happen and that there are two sides to every story; The truth is (usually) wedged somewhere in between.
If we'd seen the cashier telling this story online, we'd probably be reading some posts about how a Karen came at them, complaining about her pizza, making a scene, and refusing to leave. But, from this version of the story, it's pretty clear that the cashier was in the wrong for flying off the handle -no matter what had been said previously. It's hard to imagine talking to anyone like that, customer or not. I can see where it might be a catch-22 for the cashier if they were unable to refund the money (and would get in trouble if they did), but that still doesn't excuse their reaction.
Read on to see this story as originally posted to Reddit's r/TalesFromTheCustomer subreddit.
For some people actually being Karens, check out this mother who decided that her children were the exception and tried to bring them to a "no children allowed" audio recording.
