| 0:00.0 | Rich Karen demands a discount because her kid might have a terminal illness. |
| 0:06.8 | So I'm in my early 20s and I work part-time retail at a beauty supply store to supplement |
| 0:12.3 | my disability income. I just went through a nine-month long battle with a very aggressive |
| 0:17.3 | form of leukemia, which for anyone who isn't familiar with it is a blood disease, |
| 0:21.8 | and in 2013 this included daily infusions of arsenic and chemotherapy, and even though there isn't |
| 0:27.7 | a cure, it can be controlled with oral chemos, now that I'm past the first year, but I will |
| 0:33.1 | be weakened and immune compromised for many years, if not the rest of my life. And I'll probably have to be on |
| 0:39.1 | these medicines for the rest of my life as well. Earlier today, I had a lady come in, and just by the |
| 0:44.3 | look of her and how she acted, you could tell she was going to be self-entitled and somewhat |
| 0:49.4 | rude at best. She was overly tan with bleach blonde hair, super long bright pink acrylics, |

| 1:14.9 | Snapping her fingers like I'm a dog. |
| 1:17.8 | I guess she couldn't be bothered to tear herself away from her riveting conversation |
| 1:21.4 | about why her friend's co-worker's boyfriend was having lunch with another woman to speak to me |
| 1:26.2 | like, you know, an actual human. I walk over to her |
| 1:29.2 | and politely ask what she needs help with. She wants me to unlock all of our hair products so she can |
| 1:35.2 | browse as she likes. We keep it locked because a lot of it is over a hundred bucks and it's a high |
| 1:40.2 | theft item. I told her I wasn't allowed to do that, but if there was any color she wanted to look |
| 1:44.7 | at, I'd be happy to unlock it for her. And also, we have a ring full of full-length swatches |
| 1:49.5 | that she's welcome to look at as well. Of course, she starts huffing and giving me dirty looks, |
