A group of entitled Karen customers literally tried to get me fired from my serving job at this upscale fine dining restaurant that I worked at, claiming that I was throwing food at them and that I had an attitude, all in some kind of weird attempt to try and get me fired. And I've honestly never felt more afraid and terrified that I was going to lose my job in my life. Here's how it all went down. Okay, I want to start off by saying that

it's my third day on the floor at my new job. It's an upscale restaurant that had us trained

for two weeks, learn the menu, and pass a certification in order to even serve. After many nights

of shadowing and studying, I pass and I'm getting my own sections. We're typically reserved

only aside from the bar, which seats 35 people, unless it's empty on the off chance. Well, this group of nine older people came in and I was given them. They said they only had an hour and 30 minutes, so I informed them that our kitchen is from scratch, so everything is made to order and it takes time. They say it's fine, and I go ahead and I get their orders in. Two people order the fried chicken which is written on the menu as being worth the wait because it takes about 20 minutes to cook it and I tell them this and I suggest a chicken sandwich instead but they wanted the plate. I put in their orders and after about nine minutes, you know, as my manager and Expo checked the ticket, they flagged me down and asked when their food would be coming out. Well, I said to them, at minimum, it should be about 15 minutes, and that they are a large party and there are tables ahead of them. Well, they're now upset and they're now complaining. And you know what? I'm just smiling and apologizing. I let the manager know, and he's like, okay, fine, we'll rush the order. About five minutes later, they tell me to just make everything

to go. But the kitchen had already started plating, and now we had to scramble to make it to go.

As the food starts coming out, they asked me for their tickets and I start dividing it up.

My manager puts the 18% auto gratuity on, since it was a party above eight people, which is standard written corporate policy.

I start separating their tickets, but now they're flagging down another manager and are seriously

asking for items to be taken off. My manager tells me to go greet my new table, and when I come

back, one of the guests are telling my manager that I had an attitude and that I was throwing

their to-go food at them. As they're leaving, they're telling me

that I got lucky making so much money off them for food that's not even worth the price, nor being

made from scratch. But I tell them that I'm sorry and to please just have a nice day. Another two of

them tell my manager that I swore at them. But seriously, I'm like a crybaby pushover. I don't

do this to even my enemies, let alone

customers who determine my pay. My manager asked to speak with me in the kitchen, and I'm just

overwhelmed and I just start sobbing. I've been unemployed for a while, and I'm in the red on

my credit card, and I have no more savings. This job is my last lifeline right now. All of this

and the fear of getting fired just made me a

complete wreck. Thankfully, my manager said he saw the situation and knows that they're completely lying,

and that I'm going to be okay and that I'm not going to get fired. They let me go take a breather,
