A Karen indirectly tells me I'm racist and threatens to call the company on me instead of my supervisor.

I'm a ride operator for an amusement park. I work in an area where I operate go carts and one of the

0:10.2

positions is taking payments from guests. This is a new position that they added for the ride

0:15.2

operator because usually it's supposed to merchandise people to the cash register. But there was

0:20.0

issues with them as they wouldn't check kids heights properly. So now the ride operators have to

0:25.2

have cash registers for the go cart rides. These are the rules that I have to go by as a cash

0:30.3

register. If you're 58 inches, you have to be a driver. If you're between 40 and 58 inches,

member. And these are the two passengers, a son and daughter. Can I see the kids heights then?

1:20.4

They need to stand behind the sign. The mom gets defensive knowing that one of her kids is too

1:24.8

short even though I haven't checked them yet. Hey, you let this little Asian kid in. Why are you not

1:29.3

allowing this child to be a passenger? I told her, let's see the three kids heights first. I checked

1:34.6

the heights. The son is tall enough to be a driver instead. Daughter is tall enough to be a driver

1:39.2
