So my store opens at 5 but we come in at 4:30 as I’m sure you know. So we walk in to open yesterday and maybe five minutes go by and the phone rings and before I could even do my phone greeting this Karen says “I’ll be there in 20 minutes and I need a traveler” so I tell her that’s no problem as long as she doesn’t mind waiting ten minutes because we don’t open till 5 and she just scoffed at me and said “I have to be at work at 5 there’s no way you can’t just make it and I pick it up in drive thru” so I tell her no that our registers don’t open till 5 so there’s no way for her to pay so she gets mad at me and says “fine I’ll go somewhere else good job you’ve lost my business forever” like okay Karen

Y'all, can we start "ok Karen" as the new "ok Boomer"?

Being in a kiosk at a grocery store, we get this so much. The bakery workers are the worst about it, too. They have to come in at 4:30 but starbucks doesn't open until 6am. I show up 30 mins early to open. They get so pissy that I won't just make them one "real quick". Like lady, my register won't even work until the grocery manager comes and logs on at 6am.

I used to work at a target Starbucks too but I was also deli and bakery (since it was all one food department) and if I was opening deli or bakery I’d never even think to ask for a drink I’d wait till my break. I’m sorry they actually do that you’d think that they understand smh

My husband used to work bakery in a grocery chain. Those old hags would out their buttercream pails in the dish bins and make everything all nasty and oily and *so much dirtier* with their buttercream ooze. They were supposed to wash their own dishes including their pails but they wouldn't, instead leaving it for overnight crew and making dishes a nightmare situation.
So my husband started throwing the pails out.
And oh no, HagKarens #1 through #4 would bitch about no clean buttercream pails...that they would not clean even though it was their job (not to mention making night crew's job worse and take longer.)
I will forever be grateful to my husband's manager who, when she asked him what was up with the turmoil, understood those bitches were at fault and told him to keep doing it so they would eventually learn.
They did but it didn't keep them from grumbling.
Here's a second story about his time with the bakery hags:
My husband went around and sharpened all the kitchen knives. Pretty sure he explained to everyone, hey, knives are sharp; watch out. Anyway, Queen Karen the Haggiest drops her knife off a table *and grabs to catch it.* Don't ever tried to catch a fucking knife,ya dimwit! Naturally, she gets cut. She glares at my husband. And he simply says, "yeah, they're sharp, don't try to catch them."
Her response, "aren't you going to apologize!?!?"
He said no and moved on with his day but vented to me about idiots who not only try to catch knives but also blame others when they get cut catching falling knives.
I don't have a high opinion of bakery departments either.

Omg yes! I used to work at a safeway kiosk and same thing. It’s like, do you see a second person in here? No? I guess that means I have to set up an entire mini store in 30 minutes solo, doesn’t it? I’d just tell them if they need it brewed coffee is ready 5 minutes to open otherwise leave your cup and once I’m done I’ll get your coffee made. Still salty to this day.
