Don't notify the Karens

There was a queue

Sometimes it seems like Karens are so determined to ruin some poor cashier's day that they're willing to ruin their own in the process. When an especially unreasonable Karen stormed into u/Available-Capital476 's workplace demanding that they override the 30%-off sale price on an item so that she could use her 20%-off coupon, OP maliciously complied. You should never miss an opportunity to teach a Karen a valuable lesson. Though, it seems like this particular Karen didn't learn a thing.

He'd troll some pretty obnoxious people by changing their account's profile photo to whatever business the poor sucker was trying to tear ap…

“With this one you have to commit, once you start this you can't break character!”

Like with any public place, most of us are accustomed to practicing some basic etiquette when we go shopping . We queue to pay, ask an employee if we need help and mostly keep our interactions with other customers to a minimum. That said, there are always a select few who insist on defying the rules. More often than not, they also make a huge scene while doing so. Posting on r/IDontWorkHereLady, u/GallifreyGirlDusk reminisced about the time she was browsing a store as a teen when a fellow custo…

In these trying times, don't forget to tip

People love to bash writers of snarky receipt notes. But some people think this customer was in the right.
