| 0:00.0 | An entitled Karen tries to get me fired after I refused to allow her to return items to our store that she had owned for literally over three years. |
| 0:08.3 | Things got so bad that she even said she was going to sue us all because of the way that I had treated her. |
| 0:13.8 | And I'm honestly still blown away by this entitled Karen. |
| 0:16.5 | Here's what happened. |
| 0:17.4 | Years ago, I did retail customer service over the phone for a high-end retail |
| 0:21.3 | company, the kind that sells single chairs for thousands of dollars. They have multiple brands |
| 0:25.9 | they own, and our call center took calls for all of them. And this call regards their kids and |
| 0:30.6 | teen brands. This woman calls in wanting to initiate a return. And three years ago, she bought a |
| 0:35.5 | complete bedroom set from one of our kids brands. |
| 0:37.9 | She got bed, linen, tables, dressers, curtains, literally everything. It was not uncommon for people |
| 0:43.3 | to call in and literally order an entire page out of our catalog. We had websites, but still sent |

| 0:59.4 | all the furniture. She wanted to return everything that she bought for store credit and used that |
| 1:03.9 | credit to buy all new items from our teen brands. Well, I politely advised her that we do have a 30-day |
| 1:09.5 | return policy, and three years is far too outside that window for me to make any exceptions. Well, I politely advised her that we do have a 30-day return policy, and three years is far too outside that window for me to make any exceptions. Well, when I said that, this is when she threw an absolute temper tantrum. She started complaining about how she's been a customer for so long, and how dare I treat her this way. I then offered to give her a 10% discount if she wanted to place an order with me over the phone, |
| 1:27.9 | and I could do that much without asking a supervisor, but that was still not good enough. |
| 1:32.4 | She begins to demand that we send someone to her home to disassemble the furniture, |
| 1:36.7 | pack all the items up, and take them back to the warehouse. |
| 1:39.4 | She also wanted me to give her the store credit for the full value of the return, |
| 1:43.8 | right then and there over the phone, and give her a store credit for the full value of the return right then and there |
