In reply to the discussion: CostCo Karen: 'I feel threatened' id'd and fired. [View all]Hekate
(90,189 posts)32. I'm really confused. An old lady was threatened by a man, & SHE ("Karen") was fired?
The OP title does not seem to match the story at all. But maybe Im confused because Im an old lady myself.
So, for the first (but not last) time, I am joining those who object to Karen as an all-purpose slap. It would have more impact and be less offensive in itself if we simply tagged people behaving badly by their location or relevant activity. Costco Connie. BBQ Becky. Dog-walker Dora or Off-Leash Lizzy. Lemonade Lucy.

He's packing a concealed pistol. It's a phrase to justify shooting someone.

Nah. Guy looks like he refuses to mask, and Fox offices have had mandatory masking for months.
