00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Karen curses me into bolivion and calls me worthless for

Speaker 1: calling a product nasty. My mother's ganoli, my mother's gnoli. Yeah, wow,

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: that seems like an overreaction.

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: Like I'm gonna just imagine, like all of Satan's hell

5

00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: and all of your family line shall burn. And now

00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: I think she deserves it JK. But we will see.

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: I recently had my first Karen encounter in the wild

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: Old Karen appears. I was working as cashier in a

14
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: grocery store. I had about thirty minutes left of my

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: shift when this man came in in his late forties

16
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: and walks up with two kids. I started ringing him up,

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: and I see this sour Patch kid's energy drink. Your

18

Speaker 1: patch kids has an energy drink.

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: They have an ice cream. And it's not good.

Speaker 2: Yeah's crazy, okay.

44
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: In an attempt to strike up a conversation, I say

45
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: that honestly sounds nasty. If he tried it. Hope he's

46
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: thinking the same thing or it sounds so nasty. He

47
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: really does. He looks at me and says, you're not

48
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: doing your jaw. You're supposed to promote the products. I

49
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: couldn't get through it, bro, just random strangers, like to

50
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: a cashier, like, what are you doing not promoting and

51
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: pushing this product?

52
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 2: You know? I haven't like like, I'd like to imagine

53
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 2: that this is like the inventor of the sour patch

54
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: like energy drink, and like everyone thinks it's just like

55
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: the shittiest idea ever said. He's like, bro, it's a

56
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 2: good idea.

57
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: Bro. No oh man. He then proceeds into a tirade

58
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: that lasted a couple of minutes. Wow, it was a

59
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: long order. He's very passionate enough sour Patch energy drink,

60
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: good God, and cashier's promoting their because like, bruh, she's

00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: getting paid like ten dollars an hour.

62
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, bro, she's not getting paid enough to promote that shit.

63
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: Once he was done, the optimist that I am, I

64
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: try to change the subject. How was your week? Ben?

65
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: A very nice savage. I see this man's face contort

66
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: and rage at the audacity of my statement. How dare you.

67
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: You are the reason people do not enjoy it coming

68
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: into this store.

69
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: Wow, good god, he's just trying to pick a fight.

70
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: Dude.

71
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: He's I mean, like you know, and I wouldn't. I

72
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: don't blame him. Like his his whole uh, his whole

73
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: energy drink idea is just going down the toilet.

74
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 1: He's it's it's really his insecurity of his own you know, creations.

75
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's trying to like start like a multi level

76
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: marketing scheme where he's like getting like all the cashiers, Like,

77
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: all right, if you recruit ten cashiers and they recruit

78
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: ten cashiers, we'll all be rich and high energy with

79
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: sours exactly, Bro, to drink a couple of those bad boys,

80
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: promote them while you're behind the cash register, and then

81
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: about it being about a boom million dollars for real.

82
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: At this point, I am struggling to contain my laughter

83
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: at the pure absurdity of this situation. That's the right,

84
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: that's the Yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad she's eternal optimus. Yeah, yeah,

85
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: you can see it.

86
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: That can be a little shook everyone, Bro, your problem.

87
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: This obviously pissed him off, seeing that this guy is hopeless.

88
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: I turned to his kid and start to see them

89
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 1: staring at the ground in embarrassment.

90
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would be embarrassed, Yeah, he do.

91
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: I try to be friendly with him and asks, are

92
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: you ready for the summer? He yells at me, shut up,

93
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: don't talk to him. I am totally incredulous at this point,

94
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: but all I can think is Reddit's gonna enjoy this.

95
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: Wow they Oh. He was literally like, this is my

96
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: Reddit moment right here.

97
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: Op. He is literally like the biggest optimist ever, like

98
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: like continually looking for points to the conversation where like

99
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: they can possibly turn it to something more positive, and

100
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: then like seeing that it's just going nowhere and going

101
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: to be a shit shows like at least it will

102
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: make a great story for Reddit. Like that is optimism.

103
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: You're going places, Op, You're going. I finish up the

104
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: order and begin to read off his receipt. He interrupts

105
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: me and says.

106
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: Shut up, give me the damn re seat, and he

107
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: walks off forgetting something at the register. I get, I

108
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: give it to him, and he says, no, you decide

109
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: to do your fucking job. Geez. I think the reason

110
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 1: I pissed him off so much was because the entire time.

111
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: I had the biggest grin on my face. I hope

112
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: you enjoy Reddit and there is a quick update, two

113
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: quick updates. I get that my comment was unprofessional, but

114
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: where I live, everyone is very friendly, and that is

115
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: a very common occurrence.

116
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: What was it common? What was the unprofessional comment?

117
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: Friendly?

118
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 2: And that is how your weaker often. Oh no, the

119
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: comment of like this energy drink sucks? Yeah, that is

120
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: that is probably pretty unprofessional. Uh.

121
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: I think I think it was her like being smiley.

122
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 2: And stuff, but it isn't. Didn't they reference the comments though.

123
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: The very common occurrence. Everyone is very friendly, and that

124
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: is a very common occurrence. Yeah, I think that's what

125
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: it is. Okay. I have often very personal conversations with

126
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: customers that start with informal comments and final update. I

127
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 1: see how that is very rude. I promised to say

128
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: interesting instead to thank you read it. That makes very

129
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: little sense.

130
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: I think it's talking about the comment where it's like

131
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: like where initially OP was like that that drink looks

132
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: like it sucks, and then it's like, oh that looks interesting, right, yeah.

133
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: Yeah you're probably right, You're probably right. Yeah, yeah, there

134
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: you go. Cool? Well, bam, there you have it, folks,
