People who work in a customer facing environment are, unfortunately, often used to dealing with the absolutely worst customers out there. Add alcohol to the mix and you truly have a horribleentitlementcocktail. But once you mix in a Karen and her adult children, the whole experience becomes almost farcical.
A bartender shared herexperiencewith the “Karen” mother of a particularly drunk man, who had taken offense that she refused to keep serving him. We reached out to the bartender in the story via private message and will update the article when she gets back to us.

Every retail or food service worker has probably encountered the infamous “Karen”

This sort of entitled customer insists that they are simply always right and will berate the employee until they summon a manager. After all, they are 100% right and a higher-up will see it immediately. When this, inevitably, does not work out, they will turn to “invoking” corporate or really whatever higher up authority will fix their issue.
Generally, this does not work and is a waste of everyone’s time. After all, why would an employee try a little extra to solve the issue of someone who is just downright rude and horrible? However, none of these facts have seemed to be effective at getting “Karens” to perhaps lose a tad of their unearned entitlement and to be a bit nicer. Some entitlement can be chalked up to poorcommunication, but this is rarely the case when it comes to just doing business.
Some “Karen’s” stand head and shoulders above the rest

She even goes as far as to invoke some sort of mystical “Steve” as a name that is supposed to scare the bartender. This, obviously, does not work at all, but it’s a clear example of a person being so far gone in their entitlement that they truly can not understand what is good for them. For better or worse, most customer service jobs do at least help the employee build a tolerance towards this sort ofnonsense.
