I was in a mall four years ago waiting in line to get a milkshake from Hagen-Das. The guy in front me began yelling at the young girl that made his drink wrong, do I decided to interject. I explained to the guy that while he can be upset about his drink being wrong, it doesn't give him the right to abuse and yell at the girl, rather it'd be a lot easier for her to fix the problem if you just allow her to correct it. The guy stopped yelling, got his drink and left. The girl gave me a gold card that gives me 20% off at any store, so I guess I did a good thing. Moral is, you don't need to tell at people to get your way.

Anytime I’m asked to “Check the back”(God I hate that fcking phrase) I go out the back door, text my gf, and take a 5min smoke break then come back after making them wait and tell them sorry, I looked everywhere and we don’t have it😂

Gather around children, we’re gonna talk about the worst people in the world with a horrible haircut The Kids: 👁👄👁

As a server before corona, I dealt with Karen’s daily

I'll never forget I worked at target when someone asked me if we do the "scanning code of practice" here? Didn't know what the hell that was so I asked her and apparently wherever this Karen's from its an unwritten rule where if something rings up the incorrect price the item is supposed to be free 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ pretty sure that's not a real thing

I work on cars, been at it for almost 20 years. A few years back I had a weird customer. I quickly realized he was messing with me, wasting time, changing up what hes looking for once I find it. "Oh left side? I meant passenger side" etc. So I quickly changed my tone and got stern. He flipped a bitch and asked to speak to my boss. I look WAY younger than I really am, and he took me for a young dumb kid. Little did he know I had been working there almost 15 years(by that point) and I could smell his bullshit. My boss laughed at him and took my side right away without even hearing my side of the story haha. Moral of the story Karens come in all shapes and sizes.

It is my explicit job as a retail employee to hide our product from you and not let you buy it. We don't want your money.

Thankfully, when I worked retail, my managers always backed me up against Karens because I had one policy to enforce (one coupon per person per day) and the managers were very adamant about it, so they had no problems telling the Karens that.

I can verify that Karens come in all varieties. In my short experience of food service, I experienced a lot of black/latinx karens, but also white and muslim too. Female and male, anyone can be a karen

One time at my first job I had a Karen who claimed she used to work at the company and "know how these things work". Sis became the enemy😂😂

“Retail” “Karen”, grabs popcorn and beer and watches entire video. Keep it up, Fanta!!!

So this more happened to my coworker than me, but I was involved. Right after I clocked in, this Karen was asking me why an item rang up wrong and upon investigating I found somebody had stocked something similar in that items spot and she had the wrong item. I showed her the sale spot for the item where the correct item was and informed her that item would ring up correctly. A few minutes later one of the cashiers came to the back room sobbing to her boyfriend and asking me what I told Karen. Karen claimed I had told her as an apology she could take as many of that item as she wanted for free and started screaming and swearing at the checkout when she was asked to pay for the item. The cashier got emotional and started screaming and swearing back and ultimately just threw the item at Karen, telling her to just take it and go and then left the register crying to find her boyfriend to be comforted and grill me. I didn't say anything that could be misconstrued as that. Karen called a few hours later though and apologized for lying and upsetting the cashier, but she didn't come back to pay for her items. So decide for yourself how sorry she really was and what she felt guilty for. I still think she was an entitled Karen that didn't want to buy her stuff, but "didn't want anybody to get hurt"

I deal with a lot of White and woman of arabic descent that are Karen's trying to get stuff for free or magic stuff in. It's been crazy at Kroger people asking for Clorox wipes when we haven't had a shipment in months.

i have had the "i wanna talk to your manager to say how great youre doing" when i was at a call center, of all places. i have a great phone voice and always project positivity. even if i dont feel it i can put on a happy face for what im doing. its the effort, people. i got quite a few of those at the call center.

I worked at Walmart for 11 years. I had these idiot Karens try to haggle. I told one "that's not how corporate capitalism works" when she tried to literally haggle down a game from $60 to $20

“Karen, please calm down”

I have dealt with Karens at my job. I work at a public library, and many times I have had Karens insist that they returned a book or DVD on time when they in fact returned the items late, and then they refused to pay the late fee. They’d ask to see the library manager who’d tell them the exact same thing as I or the other librarians told them. All that drama over a 25 cent fine! Funny thing is my mom’s name is Karen! But thankfully she’s nothing like the Karens in this video.

I work in a midwest specific chain that's similar to Wal-Mart and Target and work in shoes. People will get so mad when we don't have shoe size they. Or will come looking for a shoe we had literally decades ago. It's Unbelievable. They truly think I'm trying to keep a box of crappy Sketchers from them. I had a pile of customers looking for water shoes? Homie we are going into fall and winter, we don't have those. Anyways, good vid. Keep up the work.

Karen: LET ME SPEAK TO A MANAGER! Employee: You got to let him go Karen, its not your fault he died in a car crash six years ago. Karen: (Cries)

I had a major Karen once, as I have stated before I work at a gas station, on weekends we don’t do food on weekends, well she came in and flipped her shit because “you do make food on the weekends, you’re just lazy” then claims the coffee I just put out was old and gross and takes it upon herself to take it off the warmer and dump it in the sink and request that I make fresh coffee, well because she dumped it I HAD to make new coffee I told her it would take 10 minutes to make 3 mins later she tried pouring a cup. I just kicked her out at that point

Haggling is common in some countries. In vietnam you'll actually get screwed over by street vendors if you take the price that they tell you so you basically have to haggle. However this is quite embarrassing when my vietnamese mother goes into stores and does just what you describe. Maybe not at walmart but when we went to get a couch at Dania she asked for a discount like 20 times!

I had a couple of those when I worked at eb games. They would go “I’ve been in the business, I KNOW you got some in the back, who are they going to? The highest bidder, how much do you want?” And I’m just staring at the, in disbelief they concocted this conspiracy theory over a psp.

Ppl at Walmart think that because the thing they want isn’t in stock something similar you should give them a deal

At my job, we spend our breaks naming all the karens from different races and agree on what they should be called. So far we have agreed on the following: White lady: Karen White man: Ken Hispanic lady: Maria Hispanic man: Jose Black lady: Shaniqua Black man: Tyrone

i had a male karen complain at me when we were both customers one time :P I had a gift card, that happened to be discover based, for an xmas present. so i was using it at the dollar store to get toilet paper and other necessities. The guy started bitching AT ME like I asked for it, why i had a discover card and dont i know it costs some stores alot of money to charge it. he shut up right quick when i told him it was a gift card.

I worked with some folks at my job who were mute, so we were using a couple methods to communicate since they were looking to get a couple macbooks, office, and some accessories for both of them. We must've worked together for an hour and a half and after everything, they were so grateful that they wanted to speak to a manager to tell them how well I was doing. Funnily enough, my manager on duty at the moment could sign so I felt kinda dumb after everything, but I felt really good about that. Not to toot my own horn, but if someone who can't speak is willing to tell a manager how well you did, I think that most everyone could stand to do the same. Make someone's day or week or even month. Great vid, man.

I had one lady towards the end of a shift who was struggling with the credit card machine, first saying yes to cashback so I told her to press the red X button. Then when she wanted to go to credit, I said the yellow key but she pressed the red X again. “Ma’m, you just canceled it” “You told me to press X” Then I did say frustrated what she did wrong and I could tell this upset her because I was speaking a little louder. So after everything, she waited at the service desk for a minute for the supervisor to complain about me. But he wasn’t there so she came back to me and was *furious* with how “rude” I was. Then proceeded to bitch at me for 30 seconds about how rude I was, hoe she hasn’t been here in years, etc. I don’t really see the goal of this, why she was *this* angry with someone who just told her what she did wrong. “Oh, this person spoke up to me. He should be fired.” I honestly feel like she would say something along those lines. All this accomplished was making me really angry and even when writing this I’m still angry And *THEN* there was one guy who was getting really angry over Chex Mix. One bag still had a “3 for $4” sticker on it from last week and he was getting really angry at me for not giving him that price (after he talked to one stock guy about this). One thing he said was “IF YOU’RE ADVERTISING THAT PRICE, YOU NEED TO GIVE ME THAT PRICE!” And when in a daze I tried to take the sticker off “DON’T TAKE IT OFF! GET ME YOUR MANAGER!” So I did and then he said some of the same shit to him. My supervisor basically told me to give it to him, just to get him out of there Both of these people I just wanted to tell them to fuck off

Another thing that Karens fail to realize is that they make anybody who happens to be with them at the time an unwitting accomplice to their Karenning. I once went out for lunch with my boss at a Chinese restaurant near the office where I used to work and he got into it with a server over the number of wontons they put in his soup. I was mortified because it was a restaurant that I went to by myself all the time.

A Karen story which happened infront of me in a cinema. We were kinda late to a movie , movie startet in like 2 min (at least the adds etc. the time on the ticket.) We decided that we wouldnt mind to be kinda late and decided to grab some overpriced snaccs. Infront of us were like 20 ppl cause a lot of ppl had the same idea. 10 min after we were in the line, an adult man arrived with his kid. He started to yell at the poor woman who gave out the snaccs. WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG? HOW IN THE WORLD SHOULD I MAKE IT IN TIME BEFORE THE MOVIE STARTS? ARE YOU ALL RETARDED? Luckily she wasn't having it and straightly said: do you see the people in front of you? I can't do miracles. Especially what do you expect when you come after offical movie begin anyways!? Oh yeah btw it was a movie premie so it was full anyways. Sometimes i wish people were legaly allowed to act violently against the customers in such situations

Today a Karen ruined my availability to get full time. She said I was rude and unhelpful because I couldn't fulfill her request. She told. Aka lied to management and I a was penalized costing me my full time benefits that I've been working toward for 4 months.

Damn. Yknow next time I go somewhere I'm gonna give someone a great review. I've worked in retail myself but I never thought of that. We could always use more positivity.

My mom's name is Karen. I would call her "mother" when addressing her. Karen was my mother. It was a time.

I had a ken at walmart once. He came in during december or November and asked for the price of a laptop that was in the august summer flyer i think it was like back to school or something, and they told him no, and the dude got reslly irritated andhe was with his wife and even she was irritated they couldnt get the price. He dead ass said “Walmart is a company you make deals” the associate and even the managers were like “no we cant” he didnt understand that major corporations such as walmart and gamestop cant make deals on the spot, sure in your local store maybe but not big guys like that. Just the lther day went into a used games shop and traded in a few games the deal was 3 20$ games for what i gave them. It was just a trade

I used to work at Dunkin and dealt with Karen’s every single day lmao

Oh the Karen all stories I could tell while working at a grocery store during the pandmic

"I have the right to yell at him when he's doing such a piss poor job!" "Well, I don't work here and I'll shut your ass up in a hurry if you don't lower your voice."

You know Fanta.....i seen "Karen's" all the time especially when I'm shopping at a Best Buys. Always a white suburban mom, with 2 or 3 little kids either begging for a new game or new system.....or like you said doing "Returns". "Karen's" knows very little about gaming consoles, 65 Inch Flat Screens, Music / DJ equipment, or best sounding ear plugs. When a sale Associate try to explain return policies, or a particulate deal on a product. Again like you said, they demand to speak with a store manager. Now here's the crazy part, when a store manager gives a damn & come out from the back , after her ranting & berating a Sales Associate i seen managers side with the mom & she skate off with a fast refund or exchange a product that's more or less than its priced. Just to get her out the store. Crazy huh ? (By No Means We not making any fun with girls named Karen. Karen is a name retail customers use because Karen is so American Plain Janes causing scenes to get over).....

I had a Karen threaten to get me fired... Over forgetting to give her a bag.

The Walmart back room beahahahahaha 😂 😂 😂….. brings back nightmares. I had to shed a tear for that.

I feel like I have commented this on a video of yours before but when I worked at PetSmart I had 2 Karens attempt to return a used dog diaper soaked in piss and a box of wee wee pads soaked in piss as well. I nearly lost my fucking mind on them and thankfully management was always on my side

When I worked in retail and customer service I always tried to help people to best of my abilities - difficult customers are fine but as soon as they tried to make day horrible I admit I gave up and got the manager. I got tonnes of stories from being a security guard and dealing with Karen's.

I've been at random gamestops and hear someone looking for something and end up helping them because sometimes the employees dont know and they end up wanting to talk to my manager to tell them how great i was its always awkward to say nope i dont work here i just have no life

This was my favorite tales from retail

I feel like when people say”can you check in the back”they think that you haven’t had the time to stock the item

I was waiting for a Karen episode to come out one of these days lol

I'd usually go into the back and sit on my phone for a bit before coming back to say i do not bc i knew we had it

Also when I worked at Walmart we had so much loss we had to clean out the bins that shit took a whole month to do but IT WAS ORGANIZED but like all that work just to find what you needed like was it worth it honestly

My favorite when working in auto retail: "Well the part didn't fit, so I'm just gonna get my money back"....as if we're too stupid to notice the dirt and scraped areas from bolts. You installed this shit and now trying to return it when it didn't fix the problem LMAO

I worked in a call center for 14 months back in 2008 and 2009. A couple of times people would call up and drop names of the higher ups at the outsourced agency that I worked at. This was the most nerve wracking kinds of calls. I had just come back from lunch, and answered my first call, and before I could even ask the customer what he wanted he began spouting off everyone from the supervisor on up. I didn’t even get a chance to see what he wanted and hung up in a panic. The person called back and got someone else, and eventually was transferred to the call center supervisor. I just stood there like a deer in headlights for several minutes. The supervisor that the guy talked to sent me right out on another break. I could never understand why the guy didn’t just call the person at the agency who was higher up instead of calling the call center and impose himself on all of us like he had something to scare all of us about. I had a lot more bad callers throughout the year that eventually forced me to change careers, but this particular caller is the one who really stood out.

I've seen so many Karens it's unbelievable. Most of them I have seen in the past year.

FYI ~ I have a sister named Karen, and I doubt this is too fun for her, yet what can I say? And, I am one of the rare people who always goes out of her way to compliment, thank, give tips, assist and fill out positive, honest reviews for the bank, stores, restaurants, online, etc. It makes me feel good to do that for others. Very often they will say to me that I am one ☝🏽 of the few that EVER do it. Not sure why? It seems to be the right and natural thing to do to me. I just feel that good communication is far more important than we think it is✌🏽

Corporations only encourage this behavior by training staff in 'The customer is always right'.

Working at game stop has nothing on working at Dollar General.

Finally a video I can watch the whole thing on my Walmart break

i work at a micro center as a warehouse associate. we get karens all the time. our job is to direct customers to a sales representative for help. most of the time people understand, but there are times where i get looks of disbelief because i cant answer a customers question. i also get yelled at because we do returns at the checkout and people expect a separate return counter. it honestly weights me down. but i still get my job dome and look at the bright side.

"Sorry, we don't have it in the store." "Well, on my phone it says your store does have it. I checked the app." "I think you're seeing that walmart has it not THIS store, let me see your phone." "No!" "Well, good luck. Let me know when you find it."

I always like watching my anti-Karen mom yell at people who don't have masks on in gas stations and grocery stores.

Worked in a steak house for years and can say the worst I had to deal with were the Vegetarian Karens. Like, mam, you chose to come here.... this is a steak house...

Great analysis and entertaining. Your haircut is fine dude. Different hat cool too though.

I'm a 6'2" brawny, fit dude. But my in-head Karen moment is when I'm gorilla-shopping for an item all over town And every store that doesn't have it says, "Oh, check Amazon." In my head I'm like, "I know it's on Amazon! I wouldn't be driving all over town of I didn't want it noaw!" lol. Thanks, Fanta. Good times!

I used to watch your videos, then fell off because of life and corporate Karens. Now I’m back to watching and I love you Fanta. Please marry me

One of my "best" accused my Hindi co-worker of following her. Yet was quasi respectful to me... Sickening people have really seemed to come crawling out of the woodwork.

3:15 it originated in the 2000s from those chain mail things. I remember my parents getting emails of tips to save money at the store. Things like mailing or calling manufacturers and asking for them to send you special coupons and then combining them with your weekly grocery newspaper coupons to get paid to buy some items especially after you look for damaged product (dented cans or boxes, bruised or slightly moldy fruit, wilted greens, etc) or allege acceptable or perfect quality product is not acceptable and insist they reduce the price. Supposedly the author was making like 20 dollars a month or something from shopping by combining all the shopping tips. Everything in those emails were things that make you a terrible person, I'm convinced whoever did that was an asshole that wanted retail workers to suffer even more and they succeeded, bits and pieces of that information spread far and wide.

Thank you based Fanta for encouraging Karen shaming 🙏 I'm always disappointed when I see someone acting like an ass at a gas station and nobody else in the store speaks up. I called a guy a dick for chewing out a couple attendants because his pump didn't turn on when he expected... his biceps were big enough to rip me in half, so maybe it wasn't the smartest decision, but I stand by my choice.

I had a male Karen yell at me when I worked in the deli of my store because I took too long to get to him I guess (I had to make a phone call to the store manager because a substitute cleaner was lost). he lost his shit even more when I pulled out my phone and handed it to the other employee because the store manager was calling me while I was serving him (keeping in mind I was literally the only person working the deli). to my fucking astonishment, there was a woman behind him yelling at him for giving me a hard time. when the dude went to go get the manager she defended me and said I was just trying to do my job. makes me loose less hope in this world

That emoji looks like Kate Gosslin!!😂😂

I had a young 'Karen' explode on me because I refused to sell her cigarettes without having ID. Her excuse was, she has a baby.

I worked at Subway and had to deal with a recurring DLC Karen....

More tales from retail please I love these

I work at kohl’s so definitely had Karen’s

Oh i feel the pain still remember people switching tags and put clearance from another product on it and expect you to change the price

Lol, worked in a shoe store, anytime someone asked to check the back, it was a free 5 to 10 minute break... Ya I checked ...

Karens are everywhere unfortunately

I used to be attracted to women with that hair style. Karens have forever ruined it for me 😢

I’ve been watching for 3 years and I just realized I haven’t been subscribed, I tend to do that a lot I’ll watch a channel for a long time and not realize if I’m subbed or not 😂😂😂

Lol. Had these people before...you tell them you don't have the item then go ask someone else to look

I had a Karen who I denied a refund at my job email me back that it was unacceptable and told me to run it again and she expects the refund. To this day she's still sitting there like why didn't he reply?

This episode was straight real!!

Very true topic. It’s ridiculous. Even if you are the manager, they want the store manager or they will call corporate 😂

My favorite thing to do when I say I want to talk to the manager is seem pissed off and upset. Then turn around and tell the manager that their employees did an awesome job and that the employees are great. And to keep it up. I'm an asshole. But I'm a nice asshole.

Rule #1 of using Brickseek is never tell store workers you saw something was in stock on Brickseek

Look up this thing called "Jante's Law"

The DVD story returns!

Hat game on point as always bro. Love your content .

I work at a casino and because we require everyone to where masks at all times, we often get Karens throwing a fit about needing to wear masks.

Ya, this is why I had to get a better job...I hated working at Red Lobster

You can learn a lot about someone just by how they treat both retail and service industry staff.

I hate anyone who feels the need to demand a manager

Love you Fanta!

Loved the video! Always liked your view on topics!

Love you’re shirt Fanta

Watch at least one of your videos every day

You definitely look different. it's alright. Thanks for the message. I hope it starts sinking in with derp customers. You should write a book and call it "Tales From Retail: The 💩 Chronicles"

Good content man. 👌 keep it up!

even the haircut is aggravating

I have a fun story about a special breed of Karen: The Cat Lady. On black friday, most cans of fancy feast were marked 8 cents off for the day. For the entire holiday season they were all 6 cents off, so we put the black friday stickers on top to remove them the next morning. Simple as. Well, the next monday Karen comes in and buys a dozen pairs of different flavors of fancy feast. We ring them up and they're 6 cents off. She has a FIT. Turns out the sticker guy forgot to take those tags down. Okay, fine, we'll change them for you. No big deal. 8 cents off for you. For some reason, one of her pairs was never on the black friday sale. (Some gravy one, irc.) This lady was such a monumental bitch that my manager spitefully wouldn't change those two from 6 cents to 8 cents, but offered to grab a different pair. NOPE! Negotiation is for losers. Yeah, my manager was kinda petty but we're tired the monday after black friday and this lady was insane. She swore and stomped and made an enormous scene. Over 4 cents.

gotta keep the beer opening in

Damn Fanta! Thanks for the inspirational advice

10:22 RARE!!! Sofa king rare! The last one was eariler of this year. But every once in a while, I might get a review of it.
