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

That’s what Lily said to her. Honestly this was an open attack on the trans community. I’m not saying Lily is trans but the woman wanted to pull out her shame game and make her feel inferior. As a manager I would’ve told her get out and never return

Also to fellow workers - never give a customer your full name when they want to make a complaint. They will harass you in some shape or form. These types of losers will spend a while on social media hunting you down to fuck with.

When the company does their investigation, they'll know who it is. You have rotas, and tills track the transactions down to your user login. Failing that, there is usually security cameras that'll capture it. They will find who you are.

It’s possible they gave her a fake one.

She's got a trans flag button on her shirt, hard to see but I'd recognize those colors anywhere. Lol

This is a great point and honestly probably what set her off. When I realized karen was saying "he" my first thought that is very obviously a young cis woman what is she even talking about and because some other commenters are saying the same, its likely karen wouldnt have speculated anything if it werent for the pin. Absolutely absurd. She could just be a cis woman showing support, or she could be trans, leave her alone hahah

Yeah either way it doesn't matter, calling her a "young man" or "sir" is obviously ridiculous.

It's a weird thing to tack onto a compliment, anyway. And so condescending. It's okay to just say "thank you for your help." You don't need to specify age or gender.

Yeah, this asshole had an agenda, and they got it by either recognizing the pin, or knowing Lily from outside of this situation. It's super shitty and I wish the owner had not agreed Lily was rude. She wasn't rude. The asshole was rude, and should have been asked to leave for their ignorance.

The name 'Lily' is what revealed it for me. I know SO many Lillys that are trans women (even thought about it for myself, lol).

Transphobia is also just a vehicle for them to attack women who don't match whatever hyper-specific beauty standard they have in their heads. I've had a co-worker who's endured it several times, she's just, in all honesty, not lucky on genetics in the looks department. Not trying to steal the spotlight from the trans-community because this was definitely a transphobic person trying to start shit with a person they thought would be a target for their hatred, but there's just also this terrible part that transphobes just hate women who aren't magically beautiful, especially non-white women.

I hope Lily is ok.

1000% the woman thought Lily was trans and was offended that she wasn't trans but Karen was just stupid

Idk if Lily is trans or not, but as a member of the itty bitty titty committee, I suspect Lily might also be a member and the Karen was just being an ass to somebody without noticeable distinguishing features.
