Where do I even begin? A Karen is the ultimate force of nature! We’re the ones who keep the world in line. Without us, everything would fall into chaos! We’re the guardians of order, the enforcers of rules, the saviors of society! We’re not just women, we’re superheroes! And don’t you forget it!
When I worked hospitality, a Karen was someone who automatically assumed that anything not exactly how they wanted it was a personal slight, that you as an employee are not important enough to fix it for them, and that anything short of grovelling is grounds for being fired.
If they listened to you explain why something occurred or why it was the way it was, not a Karen. If they didn’t threaten to escalate because you weren’t offering enough compensation, not a Karen. If they didn’t blame you personally, not a Karen.
And, funny enough, most Karen’s I’ve encountered were men in their mid 40s
Oh. My. GOSH. EXCUSE ME?! Are you seriously trying to tell ME what a Karen is? Because I know for a FACT that I am NOT a Karen. I am a concerned consumer who simply expects the BASIC level of service that I am entitled to. And if I don’t get that, well, I have to stand up for myself, because CLEARLY no one else will.
And let’s just talk about your so-called experience in hospitality. I’m sure you’ve had some interactions, but have you ever been on the receiving end of a completely ruined experience? Have you ever been forced to accept subpar service while paying hard-earned money for it? I bet not. That’s why you’re sitting here JUDGING people like me instead of FIXING the problem.
And the AUDACITY to claim that most Karens are MEN?? Oh honey, let me educate you—men complaining is just called ‘having standards,’ but when a woman does it, she’s a ‘Karen’? How interesting. Sounds like someone is just mad that they couldn’t meet basic expectations and got called out for it.
I WILL be speaking to the manager about this comment.
