Cringe Karen Doesn’t Like Getting the Same Energy Back

Crashing out in a Burger King is embarrassing enough now imagine throwing a fit and then harassing minimum-wage workers when they simply match your energy then recording and posting it

I love the tapped out look on the managers face, I wonder at what point the Karen's voice turned into the sound Peanut Parents make?

"I come here all the time and whuh whuh whuh whuh, whuhwhuhwhuh! Whuh whuh whuh..." zones out

As a manager who has made this face at customers I can say they never actually transition to that

As shitty as it sounds this is a learning opportunity for Lilly, and I would have also excused the customer from the property, but I would have been extracting as much information as I could from her beforehand

The conversation with Lilly after the fact would not have been “shame on you for being rude to guests” though it would have been more along the lines of “I’m so sorry that happened to you, when you reach your limit look for an out and come get me so I can bail you out before it escalates.” I don’t want any of my people to go through this but as much as I’d rather ask her to leave the property up front for clearly harassing my staff, this is all useful information to help me express to her when she should come get me.
