An entitled Karen goes into a fit of rage after I hang up on her for being aggressive and toxic towards me over the phone.

0:06.9

But as a result, this entitled Karen came to my store directly so that she could confront me and try to get me fired.

0:13.7

And I've honestly never met anybody more insane in my life.

0:17.1

Here's what happened.

0:18.1

Okay, so I used to work in the cosmetics department for a very popular brand.

0:22.2

We were always busy and some days were non-stop. So this particular day was during the holidays

0:27.5

and I remember being behind the register with a crazy long line. Along with other clients waiting

0:32.9

to be helped, as well as other appointments waiting to arrive, this entitled Karen calls on the phone and is

0:38.2

asking about a product from a different counter. Well, I tell her that I don't work for that brand,

0:42.9

but I can transfer her over. She then goes, no, I don't want to be transferred. You can walk over

0:48.0

0:54.8

this. She just completely disregards everything I said and repeats that I need to personally go over there

1:00.2

and check myself. I also tell her that it's completely slammed at my counter and I couldn't even

1:04.9

leave if I wanted to because I have clients waiting in front of me. I'm still at this point being

1:09.6

patient and professional,

1:15.8

even though this Karen was really pushing it. She then starts getting stern. Like she's talking to a child or her own personal employee and tells me something along the lines of, I am telling you

1:20.7

right now to go over there yourself and tell me what it is because that's what good customer

1:25.3

service is. Well, at this point, I'm getting really pissed

1:28.6

off because in the time I've wasted talking to her, she could have been transferred and already

1:33.3

knew if they had what she wanted. And also, she's definitely not going to talk down to me as if I'm

1:38.1

beneath her. It's clear she wanted to be demanding and unreasonable, and when I see that's the intention, I'm not going to play their power
