| 0:00.0 | An entitled Karen nearly makes me quit my job on the spot after freaking out at me on the job. |
| 0:06.0 | I feel as though the longer I've been in the business of service, the less sensitive I am to |
| 0:10.6 | certain things. Like my first week I got yelled at by a customer for not being able to take a |
| 0:15.5 | payment. I didn't have access to be able to take a payment at the time because I was new. |
| 0:19.5 | I went home considering quitting purely because of that experience. If that happened now, |
| 0:23.7 | or if I saw another server going through that, I would just refuse service. The main experience |
| 0:28.5 | that made me want to quit on the spot was a few days ago when these entitled Karen's came in. |
| 0:33.2 | Our restaurant operates in such a way where we ask for your drinks as well as your food at the same |
| 0:37.9 | time. So I asked and I got their drinks. And when I asked for their food, one girl looked up, |
| 0:43.7 | laughed and went, I think we want our drinks first. As if I said something unbelievably stupid. |

| 1:06.4 | while she laughed with her fellow Karen friend. Apparently though, there was a lemon in her drink. |
| 1:11.6 | She wanted a lime or a strawberry, but absolutely not a lemon. I simply didn't have the energy to |
| 1:16.8 | explain that it wasn't me considering she was right next to the bar and could see the drinks being |
| 1:21.8 | prepared. She felt so unbelievably disrespected. And I'm not sure if it was the attitude of the woman |
| 1:26.7 | or the constant snide remarks about how server staff have nothing else better to do. So we should |
| 1:32.0 | just be better at serving them if this is all we amount to. But it really got under my skin, |
| 1:37.1 | all because she didn't get a lime. So then they got their food, I delivered to them, and she just |
| 1:42.0 | stares at me before laughing in my face and demanding that I take it back to the kitchen. When I |
| 1:47.1 | asked why she responded, because I want you to. And then demanded that I remove the food she |
