Top 28 Karen Customer Memes for Employees Quitting The Day After Tomorrow

Karens have a remarkable ability to transform even the most mundane of shopping experiences into an epic battle of wills… armed with a demanding demeanor and an unwavering sense of entitlement, Karen customers have become the bane of many a retail worker's existence. There is a reason they've made such a name for themselves, a reason they are so widely feared. Armed with a barrage of complaints and a truly uncanny ability to spot the tiniest flaws, Karens set out on daily noble quests to make employees' lives miserable, and unfortunately, many times they are successful.

Why has this coupon expired in 2012? Why do coupons expire at all? How come the sale from last winter is off? Why has this item gone ten cents up in price? And where, for the love of all that is right in the world, is the manager? We know Karens got questions, but they should try trivia, instead. A quick shoutout to everyone who works in customer service… you are doing a noble job. Below you'll find an array of 28 Karen customer memes that may hit a little too close to home.

For more, here are the top unpopular opinions of the week. We bet Karens would have a thing or two to say about them.

'She told me I could have first dibs on what gift to get her': Wedding planner discovers his ungrateful sister wants an extra wedding present

No one knows how to push your buttons better than your own family members. It starts when you're children, but even once you're grown up, the same people who you love more than anything can still get on your last nerve. 

This wedding planner found himself quite frustrated with his sister as she planned her dream wedding. Like lots of creative jobs, his sister seems to be under the impression that his job is easy and inexpensive, when in reality it's just the opposite. This guy helped her choose themes, a venue, and even helped out with organizing some catering for her. She basically just assumed that he was helping for free, as if normal clients wouldn't pay for such a service! In the comments, people shared lots of ways the OP could get back at his sister. Perhaps he'll take their advice and send a nice note or invoice as a reminder of all he did for the big day.

Next up, this birthday host invited a bunch of teens to a restaurant — then decided they should actually pay for their own meals. 

'My manager collected donations for me but kept it all': Boss collects donations from coworkers under the guise of helping with a personal tragedy, dips with all the money

If we're taking bets for the worst thing a boss has ever done, my money is on this; using someone else's tragedy for your own gain is a specific type of evil with no moral restitution. Somewhere in a locked room, this boss has a portrait of himself with a curled, deformed hand and demonic visage. 

This heartbreaking workplace story was shared on Reddit't r/antiwork subreddit, with the original poster sharing how her former boss had scammed her coworkers into giving him money, which was supposed to be passed on to help her after a tragic personal loss which resulted in out of pocket expenses and also resulted in a loss of income due to extended time off work.

She was unaware of this until she was speaking to a coworker after returning to the office; during the conversation, the coworker asked if the donations had helped. The manager had been going around claiming to be collecting donations to help her with costs, but the money had never made it to her, and the manager left the business a month before she had returned to the office.

After contacting HR and being told there was nothing that could be done, she turned to Reddit's r/antiwork workplace subreddit community to share her story. Readers sympathized with her experience and shared their thoughts and advice in the comments, and our hearts go out to this worker for their horrific experience.
