An entitled Karen mistreats me on Christmas, claiming that I was refusing her service,

0:05.2

and treating me with absolute disrespect. But as a result, my manager forces her to leave,

0:10.4

resulting at her getting blacklisted from our restaurant, as well as the hotel that I work in,

0:15.3

and I honestly could not be more satisfied. Here's what happened. So this happened yesterday.

0:20.1

I'm a barkeeper in a hotel, and I have been for nearly five years now. I used to be full-time,

0:25.4

but have had to go to part-time due to personal reasons. Still, my team really seems to care about me,

1:16.3

open my smiling mouth to greet her. The following is a recreation of the exchange that we had to

1:21.2

the best of my recollection. She takes one look at me and says, I would like the wine list please,

1:26.4

so I respond to her by saying, okay, that's no problem. Although I should say that we don't actually

1:31.7

have an independent wine list per se, as much as a dedicated page within our whole drinks menu,

1:36.8

and before I could even go further, she interrupts me by saying, you have got to be kidding me.

1:42.4

She didn't shout this, but the way she articulated her words pierced my soul,
