| 0:00.0 | An entitled Karen claims that she knows our prices better than we do, forcing me to scan and |
| 0:05.2 | rescan all of her items a checkout, insisting that I was intentionally trying to mess up her order |
| 0:10.7 | just so she wouldn't get the correct deals. And I've never been treated this way in customer |
| 0:15.1 | service, and I'm so glad I never have to deal with her ever again. Here's what happened. So I was |
| 0:20.1 | working yesterday the day after Christmas, which I wouldn't normally be bothered about, but it was |
| 0:24.9 | the first day of a giant sale going on in the store I work in, and I mean it was giant. |
| 0:30.3 | Items that were $3.95 instead of being upwards of $15. Items that were 50% off and 75% off, |
| 0:38.2 | this was big. It only happens twice a year, so people tend to go crazy when this happens. |
| 0:43.2 | The store was insanely busy, and we had too many people call out to monitor customers. |

| 1:08.4 | system and call out to the customers that I can help whoever's next. This older lady comes up to |
| 1:13.2 | the counter and places her basket on it. I reach out my hand to grab the first product in it |
| 1:17.8 | when this other lady will call her the entitled Karen of this story, snatches the basket away, |
| 1:22.6 | and literally shoved it back at the first lady and waved her back to the line. The entitled |
| 1:27.5 | Karen said, excuse me, I was next. Did she call you by name? I didn't hear her say your name, |
| 1:33.2 | which means I was next. Yeah, that's right, get back in line, because she didn't call your name, |
| 1:38.7 | I was next. I have places to be and I have an appointment soon. And at this point, I was already |
| 1:44.1 | dreading this transaction. I've been working retail long enough to know exactly who is going to be |
