I was a bit of a Karen last night

[jmowreader]

So I had a really long day at work and decided to go to Carl’s Jr. for lunch. I ordered, and while they were putting it together I noticed something on the menu. So I called one of the employees over.

“Can I speak to your manager? Don’t worry, you didn’t do anything wrong.”

So the manager comes out. “May I help you?”

“Yes. Could you call corporate and tell them their electronic menu says (named three items) are free?”

“What do you mean?”

“Turn around and look.”

She did. Next to the three items were the prices: $0.00.

She then started laughing. “Oh my god. I never noticed that before! Yeah, we’ll get that fixed right away. Thanks!”

1. Did you demand to be given several free menu items?

If not, you were no Karen.

2. A true Karen would insist on getting the free items.

Maybe multiple times.

I think I would have ordered one item, then when charged pointed at the menu…”uhhh…that’s not what the menu says” and just looked at them blankly. And then paid.

3. Why Karen

Why does that make you a Karen?

[jmowreader]

7. I asked to speak to the manager.

8. Still don't get it

Only privileged white women ask to speak to the Manager? The way I see it you were being kind and thoughtful in pointing something out and not trying to take advantage of the situation. That makes you the opposite of a Karen.

4. I have quietly told restaurant staff...

About issues with the restroom before.

I would want to know, so that corrections could be made.

5. You were being an Anti-Karen!

6. i was on a road trip and our group stopped at a tiny mom n pop diner in

some mid-western town late at night to eat. The food was wonderful but there was something that came with one of the meals we couldnt identify so i took the little bowl back to where the waitress were and they all kind of froze waiting for my rant and all i wanted to do was say how delicious it was but what was the name of it? Wow did they relax after I said that to them. It was some kind of corn pudding. so good! They were very happy to tell me how it was made.

Those poor waitresses must get yelled at a lot.
