'Check our hours on Google next time': Karen leaves 1-star review when she tries to order food after close, gets roasted by owner's scathing response


There is no greater horror when working in service and retail than having a customer come bursting through the doors moments before closing—sometimes, as you're literally turning the key to lock them. Some people have no chill and not a lick of common sense; they really don't understand that these workers want nothing more than to go home the moment their shift is done—with every right to feel that way.

This post was shared to Reddit's r/quityourbulls**t community by Reddit user u/NarutoCell, who shared screenshots of a 1-star google review in a thread titled "left [one-star] review on super bowl Sunday."

The review in the screenshot appears to have been written by a very salty Karen, who was displeased by the staff's apparent lack of interest in serving them. They then go on to explain that they've never actually tried the food there, detailing another time that they had arrived two minutes before close and had been refused service. 

The owner responded in a scathing message, citing their surveillance footage and claiming that the Karen had not, in fact, come two minutes before close but had arrived a full eight minutes after close when the team was desperately trying to clean up to make it home in time for the Super Bowl.

‘I cut her power’: College student gets fiery revenge on roommate by cutting the cord to her lamp, gets roasted in the comments


Some forms of petty revenge are so savage that even the Internet will call you out on it. In this instance, we have a college student whose roommate clearly is difficult. She stays up all night writing her novel ($20 says it's terrible) while insisting that she keeps a large lamp on the whole time and placing it on our protagonist's side of the room. That situation is notably unbearable. 

 

However, what the student decided to do next was way worse. When her roommate was out, she cut the cord at the bottom of the lamp just enough so that it would stop working before hiding it back under the base of the lamp. After a few days, the roommate conceded that the lamp was broken and allowed the student to put it in the closet. What the roommate failed to realize is that not only was the student responsible for breaking the lamp, but also she was actively endangering their dorm as cutting the cord has potentially made it practically on the verge of burning down.

'I don't tolerate liars': Local Karen and Kevin denied a room at hotel, front desk worker stands ground


There are some people you just don't want to mess with, and front desk workers at hotels are definitely among those people. Making enemies with them can only speak trouble, considering they could make your stay literally terrible. However, in this case, this shady Karen and Kevin won't even have a bad stay… because they won't be having a stay at all. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/TalesFromTheFrontDesk subreddit by u/crabdancer64, who explained that given some bad previous experiences, the hotel in which they work no longer rents to locals in the area. As the Redditor says themselves, it's not their decision, and it's not their policy. So when the original poster caught this local Karen and Kevin in a lie and could tell they were trying to circumnavigate this strict rule, the Redditor stood their ground despite their, shall we say, aggressive personalities.
