Hi, I'm Charlotte Dobre. I'm an actor, reactor, singer and sometimes (not really) comedian. On this channel I do reactions, commentary and occasionally I make a joke or two. I love poking fun at social media, weddings, entitled people, tiktok and OF COURSE petty people. I upload daily, usually 7 days a week, unless life gets crazy or I get lazy.

That second one!! Waitresses should have the right to flat out refuse and/or kick out awful customers instead of accommodating them!
I’ve refused a table before. It was my exes family and the host thought I was joking but I was like yeah no way in hell. And another time when a man started insinuating that I was racist and ableist. I was trying so hard to get to the table on the time they wanted. I came too early , I just left them out there for too long. His words not mine and he said I came out too early cause he thought I was rushing their ordering when I was just asking if they had any questions about the menu SO far. ( I always say so far so people don’t think I want their order idc take your time) And then after all of this (there was a lot more through out the dinner) he had the audacity to say I was being racist cause he’s Italian (ok so am I , my fathers side of the family is so shove it up your butt) and his wife was in a wheelchair so I was also being “ableist” he said I was treating them differently when I was bending over backwards for them. Luckily his wife felt so bad for me and she took the bill and tipped 22% and I told my manager I will never be taking that table again. They come in pretty often and really funny how he said I was treating him different cause he’s Italian because we have to give them our Hispanic servers because all the “white people are probably offensive to him” It was so ridiculous. Also the managers response to that table is abhorrent. We would’ve never allowed them back in. Or we wouldn’t have comped everything. Luckily I work at a small business so the managers understand if you refuse a table there’s a damn good reason.
ANY SERVICE WORKER; PEOPLE SUCK!
Not just refuse and kick them out trespass them from the restaurant and property you think you can cause a scene because you think the worker ruined your meal of ranch or whatever salad dressing absolutely ridiculous
This is one of the top 3 reasons I will never wait another table. The others include being treated like shit by coworkers & management and shitty / unpredictable hours. The number of times I've been sexually harassed by "chefs" is frankly sky-high; the number of times I've been sexually harassed by someone in a professional job is ZERO. (That's just MY experience)
Mom and Pop restaurants let you do that lol we are the managers of we are on shift
I literally broke my tooth on a cherry in a restaurant. I QUIETLY told the server who got the Manager/Owner and he told me to find out the,cost of fixing my tooth and he would pay. When i went back to get the money to pay the dentist, he had the server with him and i was, again, very respectful and made sure he knew how awesome the server was! At no time did i blame them for my tooth because THEY did not make the cherries and it wasnt their fault one slipped through with the pit still in it! Turned out - the server was his WIFE! surprise lol 😂 . After that,,whenever i went there, the Owner would stop at my table and say hello 😊. Being kind costs nothing.
This how a respectful person act
I lost a filling too on a cherry stone in a restaurant I wasn't told they hadn't been removed ouch!
6-7 years ago the owner of the Café I always had my lunch in apologized to me, just in case the service was off the day before, because the server (his wife) collapsed because of the heat shortly after I left.
In turn I apologized to the both of them for not noticing that something was off and helping, because I had a hard time to keep my mind in the here and now due to the heat as well.
Luckily the wife did not get hurt and other guests were able to help her at the time. It was the hottest day of the summer that year and we had a record of people needing medical attention for heat exhaustion.
Awe I love that. ❤️
@@Bev_Ando ooph, that sounds painful. They probably didn't know, though. It's usually a manufacturing error that happens when the cherries are being processed and jarred.
15:11 hi, fish keeper here. Fish being held out of water for a couple minutes is about the same as a person holding their breath underwater, so it may be uncomfortable, but if it’s only for a few minutes, it’s perfectly fine. In fact, gills can actually process some oxygen from the air, which is more than what you can say for humans breathing underwater.
Most recreational fishing, at least in my area, is catch and release, which means pulling them out for a quick photo, taking out the hook, and tossing them back in. Compared to the dangers in their natural environment, a hole left by the hook is little more than a split lip.
There are even species that we are meant to take out, like invasive carp species. Their only natural predator is humans, and they out compete native species, threatening ecosystems.
You’ll often find that those most concerned about the actual conservation of animals, is in fact, the people who hunt them.
The irony is she is probably pro abortion and doesn't care about the life of unborn humans, but fish lives matter!! Lmfao
Well said!
Yes I've noticed a 'stewardship' mindset often in people who hunt. Ducks Unlimited comes to mind. They do a great job of advocating for habitat. (I'm not a hunter, I've just noticed it.) I don't think they're all like that, there seem to be some gun-happy types too, and I don't get trophy hunting at all.
I'm a biologist who did a study on fish (heavy metal concentrations on their gills and livers), and we went to a lake where they did recreational fishing like this.
I don't know if it is the same way everywhere, but the people who did this at the lake usually had a bucket of water next to them where they put the fish, so they were out of the water for less than a minute. Then they were thrown back.
the way she said "their lungs collapse" when fish dont even have lungs SENT ME.
edit: i know staying out of water is not ok for fish, duh. it's the fact that she didn't know that fish have gills instead of lungs was and still is funny. this is like elementary school biology.
I mean, a fish’s gills will collapse if they are kept out of the water for too long. It’s kinda like trying to separate the pages of a waterlogged book. Or two same-size wet buckets. Doesn’t really work with all that surface tension. But yeah, I don’t have the context for that yet.
She seems to be mixing up deep sea fish that when they get pulled out, their swim bladder will explode and will die, but I highly doubt you’re getting deep sea fish near the goddamn shore.
It does stress out the fish when they stay out of the water for too long, but as long as there have water droplets on their gills they should breath just fine. If they completely dry out then that's a problem
I was about to say that. I'm a biologist who did a study on fish, and we went to a lake where they did recreational fishing like this.
The people who do this usually have a bucket of water next to them where they put the fish, so they're out of the water for less than a minute. Then they're thrown back.
I worked in a pub kitchen for 11 years, for all of those years a particular family attended EVERY Saturday evening. The wife of the family constantly complained EVERY SINGLE WEEK and had parts of her bill comped all the time. until we had a new manager, that new manager Week 1 had this woman berating him over her meal he called over the head waitress asked her “ is this the serial moaner?” Waitress “ Yes” manager “ ok NO not having these outbursts anymore, if you have issues with the food or drinks here every week for the past 6 years then feel free not to come back” turned around and walked away. No comp happened. Her and her family never returned. BEST MANAGER EVER
can we clone that manager and staff every place with the clones?
Absolute legend.
Wonderful!!! They were there every week for free meals. Disgusting people!!!
Serial moaner 😂😂
Gold star for that manager! Backing up the staff and not taking shite from scamming customers.
The last girl isn't a Karen she just stood up for herself. If standing up for yourself - reasonably - is now a Karen move, I'm certainly one as well.
nah... not a karen. dude was a jerk...""i dontt care what you would do cause , you know why, i am not you" This is why i do prepaid and buy my own cheap unlocked phone.
Yeah that Verizon trade in was a scam. A refused to pay anything and canceled my plan. I reported all of it to every credit bureau and told them all I never made a promise to pay.
I was thinking the dudes more like the Karen 😂 she's definitely not a Karen though.
Good for her for not backing down. There are Karen's out there but shes not one of them. Karen's demand unrealistic and unreasonable things. That's not what she was doing.
Not a Karen at all! Not one bit.
I’ve been a Karen. My little boy had 6 ear infections before turning 1 years old, and the pediatrician REFUSED to give me a referral to an ENT (couldn’t get apt with ENT without referral). The last ear infection ruptured his ear drum. I was MAD and pregnant with my third. Went full Karen mode on that doctor and demanded an ENT referral that day. Got one. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Under the HMO system the referring physician loses money if referring a patient to a specialist. This is why I always recommend my clients go with a PPO plan whenever possible even if it costs more.
@@serahloeffelroberts9901that’s craaaazy doctors are out here withholding vital treatment for infants for more money. I shouldn’t be surprised but somehow I still am.
I've been a Karen
Sometimes rightfully and sometimes just a bad day
I'm so glad people haven't ever taped my meltdowns and i have had the opportunity to apologize and grow
Karen's act entitled to something. Being an advocate for yourself or a loved one is not being a Karen
I don't think ppl know what being a karen is anymore.... you weren't being a karen.... you where advocating and being the voice for your child.... you where being a good parent.... a karen is a self entitled person that only care for themselves and thinks they are more important then everyone else...😊
That last "Karen" scenario is EXACTLY why I HATE calling into my phone carrier's call center!! I HATE the "new" customer service attitude, they LOVE to gaslight customers!!
As miserable as a bad customer can be, a manager who doesn't stand up for the employee makes it a million times worse.
I'm 100% that random customer that has nothing to do with the situation that will ABSOLUTELY stand up for a server if they are in the right or being abused. (Uh, no mam...it isn't any of my business, but HERE I am anyway.) 😂
Manager has a spine of jelly
That's why I quit my last job. Bad management
An old manager of mine saw that one of my coworkers was crying, found out it was because a customer had been mean to her, then *tracked him down* in the parking lot and made him come back in and apologize. Champion!!! 💪🏆
There is a huge difference between standing up for yourself and being a Karen.
Totally agree, ‘Karen’s’ pitch fits and bully people. This lady just stood up
For herself, not the same thing.
This exactly. Karens are unreasonable. The person in the last story was simply standing up for themselves and holding the company to what they promised. Start demanding extras and everything else afterward? THAT would be the Karen behavior, which didn't happen.
When analysing behaviour, I ask myself whether it is 'standing up for yourself' or 'standing on other people'. Whichever the behaviour represents the most, defines if someone is a Karen or not.
Phrases such as "I demand" or "I want" are good indicators, trying to be calm and rational is another, as well as if they could walk away but is choosing not to.
@@lucindamakin1262 This is a most excellent method for determining, I think.
Agreed, Karen’s make a beg deal out of nothing while being a b”tch.
Being scammed out of $250 is a big deal
"I was a Karen" girl was absolutely right!! That's not being a Karen, that's standing up for yourself and not letting people BS you. Good for her!!
That fish Karen is funny as hell. Definitely a PETA crusader 😂
After the burgers, manager should have shown them the exit and said, "We are not going to be able to make you happy today, try another restaurant."
I'd say even before the burgers. If the manager was around to notice their behaviour as she said, he should have asked them to leave then and there. Afterall the restaurant supposedly was busy.
And by NOT kicking them to the curb, he basically made it to where they said they were going to come back DAILY while they were in town! 😱 No, thanks. No restaurant needs customers like that. Dismiss them.
Yep, as soon as they were being disrespectful, they would have been given a choice - play nice or leave. Once they kicked off about the salads, it would no longer have been their choice. TTFN, don't let the door hit your butt on the way out.
This is why I like living and working in the UK. We don't have a tip culture, so people don't feel that they have to put up with BS. Waiters and waitresses aren't reliant on tips. We also aren't afraid to tell people to get out...
My cousin runs a very successful pub that is very popular for Sunday lunches. I've helped her out a few times over the years, when I've been off and she's been short staffed. We don't ask much - just that you're respectful to staff and other customers - but zero tolerance stops people trying it on (or coming back and being a repeat offender), and that actually attracts business, because decent people don't want their meal ruined by disrespectful people at another table, and they know they won't get that at my cousin's place.
Before I moved away and left my current job as manager in training for this chain of gas stations, I made it my mission to teach all my cashiers and everyone who came after me that if a customer is treating you like crap you do not have to take it. As a representative of the store you work for you have every right to tell someone to leave and if they do not leave in their own you have every right to have them removed by the police.
I received a lot of abuse during covid and frankly it was a lesson I wish I had learned much sooner. Nobody has a right to verbally abuse you, paying customer or not. Their money is not worth it, and while I was fortunate that my employers would rather lose one shitty customer than a hard working employee, I wanted to be the first to give my cashiers and future replacements permission to stand up for themselves, even in an environment where other employers or managers might not be willing to give them the same courtesy.
Every manager I’ve ever worked under would have shown them out
Sticking up for yourself when you're being ripped off doesn't make you a Karen. That makes you awesome. Rest easy, young one.
when she said "verizon", i had her back LOL
@@thora4041 lol. And my mom wonders why I refuse to switch to them.
As soon as I heard “Verizon”, I knew the answer was no, you did not overreact.
I LOVE the reiki at the end!! “It’s just a video. You’ll probably never meet a Karen in real life.” 😂😂
She is definitely not a karen. She is standing up for her bill. This happened to a bill my parents had and they were livid. My dad has great patience [where I get it] the audacity some companies add more charges to you when nothing has changed!
3:50. Poor kid honestly, if that mom will hit strangers randomly I can’t imagine what she’s doing behind close doors to that little girl. I hope that child is safe now
Yes, and would calling CFS in this situation really be petty?
Yep - I’m worried for her… even just being involved in that shit is distressing for kids 😢
Im actually crying thinking about this poor kid.
Coming from a mother like this, that child's safety was my first concern.
@@JesspyreI totally misunderstood what you meant, I thought you were saying that you are like the mother in the video, that what you are saying is coming from you as a mother like that 🤦🏻♀️ now I realize that you literally came from a mother like her
Last story - she deserved her $285 credit back + the $150 inconvenience credit that they offered her. This is not a karen situation, rather a customer standing up for themselves in the correct way.
Lol they'd have hated me, because I would have said "Thanks! I really appreciate you compensating me the $150 for the aggravation of having to call in after being billed incorrectly and the credit you agreed to on our contract being taken away. SO, when do you plan on putting the trade in credit back on since it was in the contract?" And then if they tried to dodge it or say can't get both, ask "Do you somehow now feel I am no longer "inconvenienced" by your incorrect billing and spending all day on the phone if you agree to eventually do what you said you would to begin with in the trade credit?" Lol
I disagree. She is a Karen with an exaggerated and made up story. As a consumer, it’s our responsibility to investigate, research, and read before making purchases. That includes promotions. I buy a lot of tech products myself. I also know how to do more then log into an app to pay my bills. Every carrier under “bill” on their app has a section that says, “view billing details.” You click the pdf and boom, you got your full detailed bill. Also on the billing tab for each carrier, it generally shows your promo’s, equipment, and account history. Which has 2 years worth of receipts, documents, promotions they were approved for, and more. It shouldn’t take a person more than 3 months to realize they are paying too much. She said she got her new phone in Sept. the credit was for $800 with trade in. Her instant credit was $285. She most likely got 1 of the new iPhone 15’s. They launched in Sept. depending on plan, the promo credit was up to $800. Her paid off trade in fair market value was $285. Her device had to be paid off in full to trade in as well to qualify for the promo. The promo didn’t give fair market value plus $800. It was up to $800 total. Meaning her device and plan qualified for up to $800, but you can use $285 from the fair market value towards the upfront purchase or as a lump some bill credit. Or pay the $285 extra upfront to make it wash the difference on the bill. I believe Verizon does 36 months of financing. If she got an iOS 15 which full retail is $830. Break $830 over 36 months $23.06. That’s if she was eligible for 100% financing. The stipulation of all promo’s, they require to use your personal available credit line in case the customer breaks the terms of the qualifying promotion. Now the full promo is $800. The promo allowed $285 of the promotion to be used as fair market value towards the upfront purchase, taxes, connection charge, down payment if there was 1, and accessories. What isn’t used is left and added as a lump sum credit or the customer can use it to go towards the device itself to lower the monthly installments, but she didn’t. So $800-$285=$515 is the credit left from the $800. That $515 is broken over 36 monthly credits if $14.31. Her phone costs $830 over 36 months @ $23.06 minus her monthly promo credit. Makes her responsible for $8.75 a month on the difference for her phone installments. She said her Verizon app said 1 thing but the rep told her something else. She said they told her a break down. I believe her story time was embellished, bc what sense does it make for someone who doesn’t know her to tell her that her bill is $800 more then what her app states and that amount is the same price as the promo offering for a series of phones that start at $830 and go up from there? It wasn’t $800 more. They explained the promo break down, the full cost of device broken into payments then whatever plan, features, services, and taxes. Maybe late fee’s or restorable fee’s could have been added. We don’t know her or her payment history. Also all promotions require the devices to be financed for a minimum amount of time before paying off early to be able to keep the promo credits. Promo’s require specific plans and services to stay and if changed at any time, can disqualify you from receiving the remainder of promotion. If you cancel before the end date of the promotional credits, you lose those credits and the remainder of the unpaid device is billed out. She’s left out details intentionally. This information is also on the Verizon app. It’s not a secret. She also signed a minimum of 3 times and clicked a few, “I consent.” If she chose not to read the details of what she signed, legally that’s on her. Not her sales rep at the store. They didn’t hold her hostage and force her to sign anything for a new phone or promotion. Idk how Verizon works but some stipulations of the promo requires a 4 point inspection of the device being traded in. If the 3rd party company receives the device and finds damage, they charge the carrier. The carrier can disqualify the promo. The carrier generally sends a letter in the mail unless that store ate the charge for the customer which is why stores will deny the trade in and auto disqualify you for the promotion.
Btw. There’s more I could type, but it’s past my bedtime. I’m also too lazy to fix auto incorrection where my phone has deceived me, grammatical errors, and spelling. Read and translate the best ya can.
1 last thing before I fall asleep. I’ve read every communications companies terms of network. Every consumer signs an agreement if this terms of network use. It protects the company so each government entity that regulates these laws doesn’t sue the communications company’s. Instead will go after the consumer. So when you send a group text with a hyperlink in the subject of 25 or more with out sending each individual person a text with permission, the frc, fcc, and so many other government entities can go after the consumer for lots of money for spamming the network.
Right, like the inconvenience is of her fault like no, ur system literally messed up she doesn’t have to pay for that
I appreciate you pulling back the negative energy from the last video. It honestly did calm me down. Listening to some peoples stories sometimes pulls me into how they’re feeling in that moment. Like their emotions are mine. So you doing that snapped me back! 😂
16:57 Interesting fact - in Poland (Europe) you can now pay contactless (no hitting XD) almost everywhere - by card, phone or watch (such as an Apple watch), so it doesn't surprise me that someone can try to pay abroad this way. I recently found out that many countries, better developed than Poland, do not have such an opportunity, which surprised me very much, because Poland has recently started to develop. Even foreigners are positively surprised by the possibility of contactless payment
But the bank systems sometimes randomly require a pin number for security?

Dang I just realized
2nd story...the fact that at the end they said they were coming back and requesting the same server, proves that they faked a fit so they could get free food. Ban them
exactly...the managers responnse should have been ..no, you are not welcome back
Charlotte's reiki moment at the end is absolutely necessary after a Karen video
Once i met a karen. I was also waiting for this day, but unfortunately i was unprepared lol i was checking the neighborhood with my 8years old daughter, we found a charming spot near the sea at the end of a road. I parked there, which looked like a big roundabout. I went to the sea, we had fun. Later we came back to the car with our sea treasures all happy, the lady living in front of where my car was came out of her house and yelled to get my attention. I looked, she mumbled something about no rights to park there and point the no parking card, at the other side of where i was, that i clearly didnt see.
I told her yeah sorry i didnt see it. I was clearly leaving and she kept complaining about how people always park there, then another car with a family arrive, having the same idea as me. The mom came out of her car, i told her watch out for the grumpy lady in front lol and went about my day.
Lady, if the sign is not clear enough and youre pussed because we steal the sea view from your very small house, please call the city and have them add another sign. Geez.
CPS needs to take over that child. It is not even being petty. Calling CPS on that lady is basically civil duty.
Yes definitely! Exposing a child to this kind of situation is very traumatizing and stressful!
Foster momma here, if police were called they will more than likely also be calling CPS to launch an investigation since there’s a child involved. Sadly, they probably wont take the child into custody unless there’s clear and present risk of danger to the child, but she will at minimum be under CPS involvement for a while and need to work a case plan to prove to rehabilitate herself. Hopefully she’s able to turn her life around and make better choices for the sake of her little one. If she’s unable, then I hope the child goes to a safe and kind home who properly cares for her.
Agreed. Being drunk, violent, and in charge of a child is a very bad combination. It's the sort of thing that kid will be talking to a therapist about in 20 years. And if she can flip on a complete stranger like that, in public, when she knows she's being recorded by multiple people, what on earth is she doing behind closed doors? I shudder to think what that child has seen.
The foster system is no picnic, but CPS involvement might at least scare this woman into reevaluating her priorities and putting her child first.
well we dont know anything about them. this might be the first time something like this happened and hopefully it's the last.
@eer6759 I hope so, for the kid's sake more than anything. For her to be so confident in her attack, and for her child to look so defeated by the situation, it does suggest that this isn't her first rodeo, but I hope I'm wrong.
I don't think any of us on the thread are interested in ruining the woman's life - we just see a child that needs protection and safety, which is why we are hoping that relevant agencies can assist. CPS involvement doesn't automatically mean the child is removed. In fact, if the mother is only just starting to go down the wrong path, it will give her access to parenting classes and help so that she can be a better parent for her child- which would be the best outcome for them both.
(Edited to fix typo)
That manager is why people are Karens in restaurants. The customer threw a tantrum and was essentially rewarded for it with so much free food and free sundaes on top it
My older sister has the best way of getting her filter in place when she has to correct a mistake made by someone whom she has done business with. She asks herself at the door, "who in this building deserves to be on the receiving end of my anger? No one. Mistakes happen, and if bad behavior on the part of someone has to be dealt with, there are still ways to keep my dignity intact, and not blast anyone." My sister is very wise.
When she said they could taste his hand on the burger 😂🤣😂 I about died ☠️👻
when I was like 8 or 9 yo, my parents used to take us kids to a Chinese restaurant like once a month to "reward" our good grades. Said restaurant was always full, like packed, but my parents were good friends with the owners and they treated us kids as if we were their grandkids. They knew we were coming the last weekend of the month, every month, for like a year and a half, so they had a table reserved for our family of 5, plus extra chairs in case my grandparents tagged along. One day we were eating, having a good time and the table next to ours started complaining about everything, from the drinks not being cold enough to the waiter taking "such a long time" to "do the one job they have" (the waiters literally took maybe 2 mins tops to take an order from a party of 10, and they never made a mistake, ever). my dad was getting visibly pissed off, but my mom told him to relax and ignore the dude. BUT then, the guy that was complaining, really loudly, said something very racist against Chinese and asian people in general, and my dad literally got up, turned around in like .1 second and grabbed the dude from the shirt and, without saying a word, dragged him outside and started punching him so hard that two other guys had to stop him. I'll never forget that day, and the owners didn't either, because every time we go they still talk about how my dad "saved them"
Your dad is my hero.
Did he get in trouble for the punch? I hope not
@@Anime_Lover2203 I think the cops got called but everyone told the cops that the dude punched my dad first, which I don't remember if it's true or not, but knowing my dad he probably let the guy punch first so he could claim self defense, lol.
Please thank him for me??!! 🫶
@@michi.antxgonistxGood on dad 😂. Exactly what I'd do....claim self defense lol.
That manager dropped the ball there. He should have just asked them to leave. Screwed everyone over that day.
It depends on the restaurant. If it was a chain restaurant like Chili’s or Friday’s, the manager did exactly what he’s supposed to do! My husband runs two Friday’s at the airport, and as much as he hates it, he has to cater to even the worst of customers! Otherwise they complain to corporate and then you lose your job! It sucks out loud!
@@zuzukris4952 House-made sour cream ranch dressing? This was not a Chili's or a Friday's. Likely it wasn't a chain restaurant of any sort.
I too often think, “I wish a Karen WOULD, just ONCE IN MY LIFE!!”
And then I realize the only reason is bc I too just have so much pent up rage, and so just tell myself that the universe keeping me Karen-free is probably the only thing keeping me outta jail 🤣
As someone who has grown up with both catch and release fishing and fishing for food. The only fish that die from being taken out of the water are the ones that come from depts (around 35 meters and more). They take time to adjust to the pressure and either die from the pressure difference if caught to fast or they get eaten by a seagull while being on the surface of the water while adapting.
Former resteraunt manager. When people acted this way I addressed their behavior directly and low key shamed them.
Yeah in Japan many restraunts guest interact only through buttons or paper and servers bring whats requested, nothing more. Talking to guest isnt a high priority. While in Europe many servers are encouraged to shame idiots.
Im American Japanese (but from France, lived in Japan) and when I was a hostess than server in America it was wild how much guest get away with while tips arent mandatory.
@@SaintShion for sure. I am just Autistic and not typically American but American.
@@brianrosenthalbudack oh ya! 2 of my best friends are Autistic and they LOVED Japan's button ordering system. The last friend I went with, it was his first time in Japan, and he actually got teary cause he didnt have to overthink and stress about an interaction with a stranger. Its just easier for everyone alike.
I’m an American but I’m always nice and often times I don’t complain about the food a couple of weeks ago I got a pasta dish that I get at a restaurant I go every Saturday they put too much pepper what did I do I didn’t say anything until I was home and told my dad even he had problem with it I need to learn to speak up if something is wrong but I don’t want to be rude I’m too laid back
@stephanienoblet8503 it's not rude to say something is off with the dish. It's not rude to send back food. Only time it is rude is if you make a big scene of it and embarrass folks.
AT&T tried to pull something similar on a friend of mine who, unfortunately for them, used to be a supervisor at AT&T customer care. She said "Get your supervisor to walk you through the process or I will, and I'm not your supervisor so don't expect me to be patient and kind about it." They fixed her billing.
Why do I always feel like you’re specifically speaking to me when you say bestie 🥰
This is why I always say out loud "Thank You And I Hope You Have No A$$holes" whenever I'm buying something in a retail environment.
As for that Verizon story at the end - I am a UPS Store employee and we have people coming in daily sending in their trade in phones back to Verizon. We ALWAYS tell the customer to keep their drop-off receipt for AT LEAST a few months because there are so many instances where customers have come back to us saying Verizon is trying to charge them a huge chunk of money because "they never returned their phone"... but when we track the package with the tracking number on their receipt it shows it was delivered, signed for, and accepted by an employee at a Verizon facility elsewhere.... Verizon does not have a good record all around!!!😳
Someone at T-Mobile tried this shit on me, for a Moto 5g of all things. Thankfully the lady I got when I called was very helpful, and I kept my slip so I had proof!
Also fuck Verizon.
Sprint accused me of not turning in my old phone and turned me into the creditors, I didn't keep the paper work. I was told that (I) needed to locate the phone. I said that's a YOU problem. Months later they sent a letter that the phone was found No apology. Finally it disappeared off my credit report.
Now I'm glad I didn't send in mine... we have a family plan so my dad pays and he doesn't argue, he is the best customer you could have and would get ripped off just to avoid confrontation, drives me crazy because I want to confront people for him. Like he bought $6,000 in flooring for our house 3 years ago... they said last October he'd have it next week.... then last week they said he'd have it the next day... drives me nuts how he'll just let people rip him off. His car has been in the shop so many times... I'm pretty sure they're ripping him off too but he's too nice to confront people. My mom made up lies about him that could've landed him in jail and he said "if I go, that's where God wants me" I'm like ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! He's too positive and thinks too highly of people.. wish I was that delusional sometimes but I like not being naive and realizing people suck
Always keep your return tracking receipt until you get the return acknowledged from anywhere.
The woman in the Verizon story was not a Karen. Asking to speak to a supervisor or manager on a legitimate error like this is perfectly logical.
I agree. Verizon has the worst customer service! They tried to get my husband to pay on a phone that was no longer is use for a year after he discontinued service per Verizon's terms. It was very frustrating and it hurt his credit score until the outstanding balance was finally removed, which only happened after my normally mild-mannered hubbie went full-on male Karen on them. Never again!!!
Agreed. Particularly if the initial person is unable to correct the error. I, on the other hand, might just be a Karen because I would have walked into the store with my paperwork in hand and asked them to explain why my bill wasn't what they said it would be. I would have been nice about it but I wouldn't back down if I know I'm right.
The reiki healing at the end just killed me! 🤣🤣
OMG! I’ve been a Karen on several occasions. These days, without sourcing, it’s easy for them to hang up on you. This causes a vicious cycle of incompetence
I work in customer service and the worst is when I'm done dealing with an entitled customer who doesn't like to listen, and having others who witnessed the events unfold, not only apologize for said persons behavior, but then tell me how wonderful I handled it. Makes me want to cry from that kindness.
That used to be my favorite part. Cause at some point you start to believe that maybe you WERE in the wrong and having that validation from other people was always golden.
@@jacquedenise86 I remember I went to a McDonald's and some guy was losing his shit on a cashier..
I was waiting for my number 4 (The two cheeseburger and fries meal) with a strawberry milkshake and coke (all mediums) with 4 bbq sauces
He was pissed because it took more than 4 minutes cause "this should be faster" had the manager come out and she apologized and gave him a free one over a small damn milkshake taking more than 4 minutes when he clearly saw the line was long
When I got my order they forgot to put out pickles (I prefer them separate) and so the manager (btw it was multiple complaints that day while I was waiting for all the meals ) walked out as I was getting in the car with my friend (who was with me helping with the meals and drinks) her mom and her son and mother she asked me "Excuse me was your order right ?" Because I did wait about 15 minutes which I had no issue with , I just told her "It's perfect thank you "
Like I'm not gonna bitch about them putting pickles in my burgers especially when I ask for them separately to crumble up for my fries and I know how hard fast food customer service is and how many assholes and bitches they deal with
I have literally cried from how wonderful another customer was after an awful one.
Same! I still remember one time after dealing with a horrible customer, after he left, the next lady in line immediately said, "well, besides the asshole, how's your day?" 😅
I had a problem customer that actually changed her behavior after I let her stay behind after we closed (dog grooming) while we waited for an absolute BANGER of a psycho customer to come pick up her dog that we shouldn’t have even had with us. She was pulling some crazy techniques. Anyway, ex-problem saw the entire final encounter and was a dreeeeaaaammm of a client for the rest of my time working there.
I feel so so bad for that little girl she deserves a better mom. Imagine how scary it is to run from adults bc of your mom’s behavior. Never mind the fact of look what she’s learning is okay. Like take her away, where is her dad
Ya I felt so bad. Must be so scary to have a mom like that.
As I child of addicts I can confirm that is probably her normal. My parents put me in so many horribly unsafe situations, and I had no clue it wasn't how everyone else lived. I hope that women gets sober, or they get that child help and safe.
So true, the little girl must have to deal with that all the time and it’s so sad 😢
He shouldn't have made it worse; saying nasty things about her near her daughter (even if she deserved it) and following her, while recording her and her girl. The little girl must have been very scared and stressed. He wasn't drunk, he was in his right mind, so he could just walk away, but he chose to escalate it... Very immature and harmful for the kid, but I guess it gave him material for his videos...
@@lisasim he was being harassed by an intoxicated woman with a young child, she should be arrested for having her child near her while she was intoxicated. I wish someone would have called the police on my parents, maybe then I wouldn't have had to endure the trauma of being a child living in a house with two people actively in addiction. It could have saved me a lot of years in therapy if one person had done something about their unacceptable behavior.
After working nearly 10 years in customer service, I've come across more of this type of people than I can ever recover from.
I appreciated the very end where you pulled the bad vibes away. After this video, I really needed it. 😅
I love how speaking up for yourself makes you a Karen.
What phone lady did is not being a Karen it’s being an adult.
For the last story, 100% THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING AN ADVOCATE AND A KAREN. Please understand that you aren't a Karen for firmly and unwaveringly stating what you are owed. Whether it was a financial credit, a medical service, a legal agreement, if a bargain was struck, both parties should honor it. A lot of people try and take advantage of either your integrity or your ignorance or both if they are super shady. Keep your integrity, cultivatw your knowledge, and don't be daunted by the title of Karen. 🥰
Yeah, companies have realised that a LOT of people will avoid advocating themselves because they don't want to cause a scene and in this day an age with everyone calling women Karen's on the internet it's really causing women to be taken advantage of more then normal. I've seen so many women belittled and insulting on the internet for advocating for themselves because the A-Holes didn't like how she was acting BUT THEY WERE RIGHT.
One correction in your post. It's not that both parties "should" honor the agreement - they must.
Yes I agree with this. I had to do this recently too, I was politely requesting something to be done - I was the middle man between my bank and my utilities company. (Payment didn’t go through one month and no one could figure out why.) The utilities company wanted written confirmation that I didn’t redact the payment. The bank lady kept telling me the same thing over and over, not validating my request. I had spoken to someone else before her (this was my second call in my back and forth game between the two companies) so I knew what I was asking could be done. She repeated herself so many times I finally stole the words out of her mouth because I had memorized her line and demanded to speak to a supervisor. My favorite is after asking to speak to the supervisor, the same person you were talking to comes back. Like no, I don’t want to hear your voice anymore.
@@katherineclarke9282 I think sometimes the non managerial people don't know the rules so they wing it and get frustrated when they are challenged. Don't try and wing it; ask someone who knows.
The term has gone from "a racist calling the police and making up stories" to "any woman that expresses an opinion or complaint about anything".

The reiki at the end was very helpful thank you
Poor child, no telling what the child has had to endure!!!
I ran a very busy restaurant. People always lined up waiting for an open table. I had zero problems kicking out toxic customers. I never allowed my wait staff or my delivery staff to be mistreated. In the 5 years I worked there I kept all my staff and had zero turnover because I treated my employees like gold and they worked their butt off for the business as a result. There is no up side to placating customers who are abusing your employees. It empowers their terrible behavior and they feel entitled act this way wherever they go.
You are a beautiful unicorn ☺️ I worked at a grocery store bakery in my 20's, and our department manager would directly contradict us in front of customers!
Example: We're told at the beginning of a shift that we put in no more than six cake orders per time slot on a certain day. A customer (usually a woman wanting a celebration cake) demands to place an order for a time we're told we DON'T HAVE OPEN, which I tell her, and suddenly, manager appears and says, "Oh sure, we can put that in for you!"
I have many other stories, and have long since moved on from that job, but it still disgusts me how she was so willing to make the rest of us look bad/ incompetent, just so she could get the praise for saving the day and climb the corporate ladder!
Well said
Yup - it hurts the business
I worked as a cook in a super busy restaurant The owner was a total dick but if someone gave the wait staff an unreasonable time hard time he'd turn on his New York charm and throw them right out the door twice with his actual hands
Yup you’re not wrong !
The first ladies' poor child. It's so disgusting when ppl act like complete idiots in front of their children. Way to set a great example.
I wouldn't give the guy a pass. Social media has made crazy behavior seem sane - he followed her around recording and then goes on social media posting it. Psychotic.
@@mortimerbrewster3671I think he needed to see her face. Also some people deserve to be exposed. She was the psychotic one here lol.
@@mortimerbrewster3671
Yeah, when he said he started following her around, wasn’t he the stalker at that point? Just go home, dude 😂
It's also gross when someone is drinking like that in front of their kid.

If you need to find out where a person lives after they have been abusive, you may need to follow them. It is not stalking
I have only complained about food from a restaurant twice in my 50+ years. Once the bread was so burnt, it was black and rock hard. Second, I had specifically ask if the side dish had garlic, because as I told the server, I am allergic. He pretended to go check. There was so much garlic, we could smell it, before it got to the table.
First guy escalated the situation so much
I cannot tell you how many dressings I have put on the side and advised people to taste them first, only to have them dump the entire dressing on their salad and then be upset that they don’t like it.
On the waitress story: when I was a bartender my manager comp'd this couple so many times that it eventually led to the guy getting drunk and trying to vault over the bar to literally choke me for asking how he'd like his Sambuca...
"The customer is always right" is a saying that actually came from a furniture store decades ago. They made custom furniture and window dressings. The slogan was supposed to tell employees, "The customer may choose some ugly ass shit but it's their house, so go with it." It then got adopted to the monstrosity it is today.
I just found you today on FB and can I say I absolutely love your stories and reactions... definitely subbing
😂❤ OMG, I beeping love you! Your bit at the end, pulling the negative energy, 😂😂😂 Thank you!! I am dying 😂😂😂
All rise for the honourable Judge Dobre. Please turn in your books to “How are you not embarrassed,” to Chapter, “No Shortage of the Audacity” starting at the verse “Absolutely not” to the last verse where it says, “Petty Revenge.” 🥔👑
lol This comment is 🤌🏻.
I need that book asap
OMG I love it!!! 😂
Note to managers: when you guve in to satisfy one Karen (cuz you worry about their one bad impression), be aware that ALL the other customers who witnessed this, ALL of them have a negative impression...so y'all literally are cutting off your nose to spite your face. You are souring the experience of good PAYING customers for ones who will never be happy and end up costing you in the long run.
So true!! You are also basically telling the waitress (or waiter) that her (or his) 'suffering' doesn't matter!!
You realize managers are just that. Most time they don't own the place! They can only difuse the situation the best they can. They are doing a job just like everyone else. Give them a break.
Why would you view a person trying to diffuse and de-escalate a situation with a rude person negatively? Why not just empathize with them for what they had to deal with and shame the rude person instead? If you're such an activist against rude people treating those that can't fight back badly, speak up to the rude person instead of watching the show. Getting verbally abused by one person and then looked down on by the next person for not handling it the way THEY thought you should have (based on their NO knowledge of your workplace) doesn't make for a great day.
@@jfree2737 wow you certainly twisted that. I didn't say that the managers should be shamed...nor did I say the other custo.ers look down on them... what I did say is that Karens ruin the experience for multiple customers not just themselves.
@@Sunshine-uo7um is is just advice...don't be so sensitive, no one is putting down the managers. Just informing them.
My favorite yt out here, thank you to you and your team for making these amazing videos ❤
why did I love the ending with the water noises 🥹 relaxing af
As the child of addicts i can confirm that was my normal, the way that woman acted in the video reminded me so much of my parents, that kid having no reaction tells me this is her normal, and i hope to god that women gets help so she can take care of herself and her kid, and i hope that kid doesn't end up as traumatized as i was from it all.
Absolutely 100% agree. Growing up in alcoholic home, my heart breaks for that child. 💔 Ughhh that was tough watch becayse i was that kid.
"Their lungs collapse"
Who's going to tell her that fish dont have lungs?
She must be a city girl.
We city girls do not claim her! City girls get education, too lol Idk what this young woman's issue is, but being from the city ain't it lmao
Also who is going to tell her fish are not people? She kept saying to the guy “I’m going to stand up for them if you keep killing people”. What?😂
Hell, I've gone fishing like twice and even I know fish don't die right away. They gasp just like us air breathers do when there is no air. Your damn lungs or gills don't "collapse" lol!
There are some very legitimate things to protest for or against, but sweet lord be informed… or as our Queen would say, "Do your research!"
@@tamarinbush6613 Good heavens I missed that. All animals need to be treated with respect, but they aren't people.
Who's going to tell her that people aren't people, and therefore not "somebodies", too?
Awesome heart glasses in the second video! I need a pair of those.
I was a waitress and then manager of a popping pub here in Vegas and i wouldn't have done all those comps. No freaking way. We had certain days and times the oldies came and we all learned how to please their rudeness similar to that amazing woman. Absolutely unreasonable.
That’s not being a Karen, that’s standing up for yourself as a consumer. That phone company was definitely trying some shady shiza.
First lady is definitely guilty of pwi, parenting while intoxicated
Im scared that the lady becomes violent or very aggressive when drunk, the child looked like they were trying to hide in the elevator!
U know if she is acting like that in front of others what the hell she doing to that poor child behind closed doors. Growing up with a drunk isn't easy. Trust me. 😢 hopefully mom gets help before it gives her child life long trauma
I would not call that "parenting".
I call that being a drunk idiot, while dragging a child through the messes you're creating,
& putting her in potential harm from others, all while harming her, her own damn fool self.
There is no actual PARENTING involved in what that skank was doing. 💔

I'm so very sorry.
Neither that poor child, nor the poor child that _YOU were_ deserved to be treated that way, nor put into those situations--

“It’s just a video, and the video is over now 😀” 💀
Gurrrl…I freaking LOVE you and how you ended this video! LOL My blood pressure was climbing during that last video. The babbling brook and relaxing woosaw voice made me giggle and brought me back to realize this didn’t happen to me! 😂
That server’s experience made me so mad. I agree with the commenter that said the manager should NOT have done that. 13:27 They’ll never stop doing this crap when they get rewarded for it.
"then you shouldn't have asked!" 😂😂 that's my energy right there! ❤❤
I love the ending!❤
The energy cleanse at the end was surprisingly effective! ❤😂
Having worked as a hostess, turned server, now chef, the second story hits hard. People can be awful.
Karens who demand things make me want to talk to them like I talk to my toddler “that’s not how you ask”.😂😂
i started doing this for several clients at my old job & it legit started to work 🤣🤣
The one about the fish cracks me the fuk up. 😂 I understand where she comes from and it's a good place but she's going about it all the wrong way. LOL it's just the most hilarious argument I've seen in a while.
Charlotte you're Reki at the end actually helped me! I know it was supposed to be kind of humorous but it actually was helpful! Near little hands actually pulling it through the screen was very helpful
Manager should have thrown out the 3 customers saying we can't accommodate you.
I need a "How are you not embarrassed?!" t-shirt now!!
That's a brilliant idea!
Yes please or absolutely not one please
Or a hoodie!!
HAHAHAH! honestly loved the aura cleansing at the end!!! it actually soothed me down. hahah
Really needed that reki at the end! Thanks!
Fish girl knew she lost the argument minutes ago but also knew she couldn't back down and had to die on that hill 😂
Literally😂 like yes the fish do get hurt from the hook but it heals in less then a week and it’s a very small hole like a ear piercing
And their organs don’t collapse unless you’re somehow fishing for deep sea fish
@@AbeM. or a whale
She couldn't form a coherent sentence
Shes drunk and the men following her are just wanting to screw her or maybe shes been screwed so hard her brain is nothing but mush. FISH dont DIE when you take a FISH out of water, sure HOOKs hurt but fish heal over time when the hooks are taken out, it doesn't interfere with a fish's life. They breath when they swim, their gills are their lungs. I hate when people who are "ALL FOR THE ANIMALS" yet pick the wrong battles to die on.
26:14 In addition to the 285 I would've spoken to the supervisor and explained that I should also receive the 150 INCONVENIENCE credit for the inconvenience of the 285 credit being taken back, the 45 minute call, and their staff's incompetence and unprofessionalism for telling me how he'd feel about receiving the 150 inconvenience credit instead of actually resolving the issue. I would've gotten off that phone with my entire bill paid!! Lmao
Absolutely this!!
Yep. Congratulations, phone person! You just wasted my time, the company’s time, and the company’s money. Su. Per. Vi. Sor. I will close my account and let the world know how you try to scam customers OOORRRR you can include that 150 credit for the inconvenience AND I would like all of that emailed to me.
(My ex wife worked customer service phones & as a result my whole family knows some companies tie the hands of those who answer the calls, and you have to go up the chain & threaten the supervisor or higher, because they’re the ones with the power to actually fix it.
@@nightvalebunny137 Along with the email ask for a second credit - one for the 45 minute wait time and one for the original $285 credit being taken back. And asking to speak to the supervisor themselves, not the call service worker. If they can put her on hold to talk to the supervisor they can also put the supervisor on the line. Sorry, this really grinds my gears. I do give her kudos - she really stuck up for herself though!
Can we appreciate how nice Charlotte's voice sounds at the end there? Like, girl, be my meditation instructor PLEASE!!! I was instantly calmed.
12:18 I'd quit right then and there. No way I could deal with customers like that, then watch my boss reward them for being horrible people. She has a lot of patience to put up with that.
I love it when someone causes a stir then tells people to mind their own business. You're shouting to the rafters, it's EVERYONE'S business.
That last lady was absolutely not a Karen. She advocated for herself and didn't let a big company push her around. You go lady!
I actually really liked that relaxing last part of pulling all the negative energy out… I’m gonna use that in the mirror.
P.S. New to your channel, stumbled across a vid in my feed earlier and have been binge watching since. You remind me of my crazy family from Brooklyn! Subscribing! ❤
Just finished the video & I LOVE YOU MORE BESTIE 😭😭😭😭😭
Sometimes feels like Karen's already born angry with a phone in their hands😂
A customer came in at the small(tiny but excellent Mandarin) family-owned shop where I was cashier/order taker to order lobster in lobster sauce. When he received it, he immediately opened it and proceeded to complain about the amount of lobster meat in the dish. The owner/chef (classically trained) explained the price of additional lobster, which the guy loudly refused to pay. He did take the meal with him, though visibly incensed, declaring neither he nor _anyone_ he knew would be back.
After he left, my dear boss, seeing my stricken face, smiled, saying "This kinda customer we don't need."
The boss is right. That is the kind of customer nobody needs.
Exactly! I love how these entitled people think the employees will miss them but really are thinking "please please don't make a promise you can't keep. Because if I see you in here after today I'm gonna call you a hypocrite and then refuse to serve you."
Unfortunately, these types of people exist.. 😔
I'm riding in on my high-horse because through BEING NICE I managed to get a chain of restaurants here in town to stop putting cold coleslaw in the container with the warm food.
Because it is literally a food-safety issue when the 'slaw warms up while my steak and potatoes get cold.
Stop it! 😂😂😂😂 why was that ending so relaxing that I replayed it 😂😂😂😂 love it 😊
Brilliant ending! I want to play that on a loop when I have negative energy.
restaurant story, that was a GARBAGE manager. Should've had them escorted out, would've saved him 3 meals and the drink tab
13:23 This is 100% the reason I left working in restaurants. After over ten years I decided the money wasn’t worth it. Just watching that gave me so much anxiety from flashbacks.

Cell phone lady is not a Karen just a justified angry customer
For Verizon, they breached the contract, she could have told them she expected a complete refund and would go to a different carrier. If they push back let them know the credit the system took back was part of the contract, and you were never notified of the revocation of the credit, that would really open the rabbit hole.
Verizon did this to us. Spent an hour on the phone arguing until I said fix it or I'm canceling. Surprise, they fixed it. We paid our bill and then cancelled anyway.
Yes
@@daviniakeller4181 I would have too, because now you can't trust them
Omg, Verizon did this to me too...😮
My parents stopped using Verizon because they did this and then some... Verizon is sketchy
Some people treat customer service employees like being shitty to them is an Olympic sport! I had a woman grab me by the collar over one shrimp that had fallen off her plate in the expo window. I had one being made fresh, and was about to tell her when she grabbed me.
The ending was GREAT lol
