| 0:00.0 | An entitled Karen demands that I break the rules at my job just so she can get her way with her and her stupid kids. |
| 0:06.3 | Things got so bad that this entitled Karen literally threatened to get me in trouble, as well as write a bad review about me, all because I was doing my job. |
| 0:14.5 | Here's what happened. So I work in what is essentially a huge play place for children. |
| 0:19.0 | There are no age restrictions except for one single |
| 0:21.5 | room, which is limited to children under the age of three. It also requires them to be supervised |
| 0:25.9 | by a member of their group, age 16 or older, because we are just there to facilitate play |
| 0:30.8 | and make sure everyone is being safe. We are not babysitters. Everyone, the staff included, |
| 0:35.8 | is required to have their shoes off when they're in the |
| 0:38.0 | room. We don't want any dirt or mud or anything being tracked into the room where lots of little |
| 0:43.0 | kids are crawling around on the floor. Now, we deal with people being mildly annoyed over these rules on a |

| 0:54.6 | room with her two kids. One was younger than three, and the other was very obviously at least five or |
| 0:59.7 | six years old. Before I can even say hello, she is telling me and not asking me that her five or six |
| 1:05.4 | year old will be coming into the room regardless of the rules because she doesn't have anyone |
| 1:09.8 | else who can watch him and her |
| 1:11.2 | younger child really wants to come in. Now, I politely attempted to explain that I cannot allow that |
| 1:16.7 | since we take the age rule very seriously due to past issues and we can get written up for allowing |
| 1:21.9 | bigger kids into the room. Well, this entitled Karen makes a huge show of groaning and rolling her eyes |
| 1:27.4 | at me and then tells the other child that he can go play somewhere else, while she and the other kid under three years old comes and plays in the room. |
| 1:34.5 | Well, this required me to tell her that she cannot have her kids off on their own without her also present. |
| 1:40.1 | And when I said this, she absolutely lost her mind on me. |
