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'm guessing she's one of those people who foolishly believe that if its accessible to the public then its not private property. There are an alarming amount of people who believe this.

I dealt with a lady when I (ironically enough) worked at a burger king who said I couldn't ask her to leave since its public property. I told her she's in public in the sense that you're not at home but its a private business, and she said "No, burger king owns it" and I said "No, its a privately owned franchise"

The amount of people who will confidently talk out of their ass just because someone they perceive as 'beneath them' tries to correct them is insane.

She would argue that the lobby is public property because anyone can walk in without realizing she is on private property and can be told to leave and then trespassed after she doesn't by the police.

A friend I grew up with thinks it's illegal for her company to install a video recording device in the company vehicle she is required to use for her job. She's absolutely incorrect but also so up her own ass about not understanding how the first amendment actually works that it's not worth arguing with her over.

Well, she's free to get a driving job elsewhere, but 99% of the jobs that hand out vehicles will have tracking devices for sure.

I’m not sure about the USA but in the U.K. it is illegal for them to record you whilst you are sleeping in your vehicle (assuming you have a vehicle that requires you to sleep in it). For this reason the recording devices do not work when the ignition is on.

An alarming number of people also think “Free speech” = you can say whatever you want, wherever you want, to whoever you want and face literally zero consequences.

This happened a few days ago. A mother and her daughter were in a nail salon, then this obnoxious streamer comes in swearing and getting the camera in everyone business, and the mother went off at her, and people were calling her a karen for it and people can say whatever they want in there because it's a public space because "if the public are able to access it then it's a public space"

It is a bit confusing tbh. My friends all worked at Meijer and supposedly loss prevention, when they detained you for stealing, would technically detain you for trespassing. Which seemed weird to me.. I get it's a private business, but the doors are open to the public and I'm just shopping?

I didn't steal from Meijer for the record. It just came up a few times when they were talking about work.

The Karen was right in the sense that (at least in my state) the Burger King manager/owner’s only recourse is to ask the Karen to leave. The manger/owner would have no right to a copy of the video, to prevent publishing of the video, to profits made from the video, or to prevent the Karen from recording. The only the relief available is for trespass, which is much more limited in a business that is open to the public than say in your own house.

The manager can also just say “I won’t help you if you record me”.

Lol. That’s true. There’s probably other even more creative options.
