0:00.0 | An entitled Karen attacks my bartender friend, claiming that he had stolen her credit card and that she was going to sue him if he didn't give it back. |
0:07.9 | But after watching her scream at my friend about these obvious lies, I decided that enough was enough, |
0:13.4 | choosing right then and there to put this Karen in her place in a way that she will never forget for the rest of her life. |
0:19.1 | Okay, to start things out for a bit of context, |
0:21.4 | I work a high-stressed job that involves a fair amount of direct confrontation. Before that, |
0:25.9 | I worked as a bartender for five years, so my empathy is higher for those working in hospitality, |
0:31.2 | especially post-COVID. Furthermore, my childhood wasn't great, so I have some anger issues, |

0:38.8 | I can't thank her enough as it has helped me tremendously, and I would recommend it to anybody. |
0:43.3 | My local bar is about a quarter mile from my house, so I walked over after a really frustrating |

1:10.8 | controlling the beast. |
1:12.0 | I'm checking the news on my phone and I'm sipping whiskey when I hear this awful Karen start to scream. |
1:17.2 | She starts to yell out, no, I gave you my card and if you don't have it, then you must have stolen it. |
1:22.7 | I glance up and I see that Karen is now standing and pointing at the bartender menacingly. |
1:27.4 | Now the husband is sitting with his head staring at the bartender menacingly. Now, the husband is |
1:28.2 | sitting with his head, staring at the bar, trying to look as small as possible. The bartender is not one |
1:33.6 | who deals with direct conflict very well, and really is a very easy-going, sweet guy. He says, |
1:38.9 | ma'am, again, you gave me your business card, not your credit card, and I cannot charge anything |
