It doesn't really look like the Karen memes are going to slow down any time soon, but that's totally okay with us. The "Karens" of the world need to learn their place, and we just hope that the memes will get through to them.
Check out even more Karen memes over at eBaum's World!
It's true that you can sometimes make bank while being a server. Unfortunately, it's also true that you'll be abused by customers, deal with MIA managers, and spend hours of your precious time doing inane side work like polishing silverware. These server memes are for anyone in the struggle. We hear you, and we see you.
Anyone who's never worked in retail before can never truly understand how frustrating the work is - all for ungrateful customers and very little pay. And perhaps the worst part of the job? instead of actually displaying your frustration, at the end of the day, you just gotta put on a fake smile and pretend you care about the minimum-wage work you're doing!
Working sucks, but unfortunately we all have to do it just to survive - just a fact of life. Unless you're a trust fund kid, in which case screw you. So whether you're an incredibly bored cubicle worker or a frustrated and underpaid waiter, this gallery will contain something that relates to you! Or if you just need to scroll through memes that sum up your sordid life, these various work memes will have you feeling right at home in your own little slice of hell.
Some people just have no chill whatsoever and freak out over the smallest things. This dude totally flipped when his date simply asked him when he'd be arriving at the restaurant they were scheduled to meet at. We get that work can totally be stressful, but we think that this guy could certainly benefit from some anger management classes!
We gotta take this time to show our appreciation for all the line cooks out there who work tirelessly to prepare our delicious food with little to no gratitude. Like, damn you guys are badass and most of the time you don't even get tips or health insurance! Our hats are off to you!
(And honestly we wouldn't really blame you for spitting in a rude customer's food.)
There are some people in the world who just can never take responsibility for their actions. Everyone is always out to get them and they're always being "wronged" in some way. Can't possibly be that they're the one acting like an a-hole, right?
This particular dude, "George," left a scathing Yelp review after he visited an axe-throwing facility and claimed that the employee serving his party was acting in a discriminatory manner toward his friend. After the manager replied to his review, it was immediately evident that "George" left out a pretty good chunk of the story!
If you've ever worked in a customer service position, then you've guaranteed encountered your fair share of Karens and other horrible, entitled customers who make your job a lot harder than it needs to be. We're not going to stereotype generations here, but as proven by the memes you're about to see it's the Baby Boomers who are always the worst. Sorry, not sorry.
Labor Day is almost here, and you know what that means...working overtime if you're a customer service employee! No matter if you're a bartender, waiter, barista or retail worker, you know the struggle of working extra hard on a holiday where you're supposed to be relaxing. The grind is REAL, friends.
While we appreciate how wonderfully world-opening the internet is, there are some serious drawbacks to everyone feeling they have a soapbox. There's no greater example of this than restaurant reviews from rude and entitled people. Yelp gives obnoxious people another outlet for, well, being obnoxious. Fortunately, some business owners refuse to let the aggression stand, and opt to bite right back.
We can bet that every single person reading this asked the "Mom-can-we-go-out-to-eat?" question during childhood just to hear her say "no, we have food at home." And course, as these memes suggest, usually the food at home is far less tasty than anything you could've gotten at the drive-thru (especially when your parents aren't the best cooks...).
But in the end, we're secretly thankful that our parents provided us with home-cooked meals as kids, even if those meals tended to be un-sauced spaghetti noodles and a slice of unseasoned ham on the side.
