00:00 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're examining our picks for iconic times when rude and entitled
00:11 folks at businesses received some sweet justice from a worker in one way or another.
00:20 10.
00:24 Sauce Scandal Restaurant staff have it rough.
00:27 Not only do they deal with the usual annoyances, but they also get the full brunt of a Karen
00:32 meltdown every so often.
00:34 In 2021, one unidentified woman decided to complain to Pizza Hut manager Sweets Williams.
00:40 However, she wanted a refund on the pie for having "no sauce."
00:49 Except that didn't stop her from consuming a lot of it.
00:52 Realizing she wasn't getting the red carpet treatment from Williams, the Karen pushed
00:56 the pizza off the counter onto the manager before attempting a quick getaway.
01:03 However, Williams was in hot pursuit and continued arguing with her.
01:10 With Karen threatening to call the police, Williams pushed her multiple times, eventually
01:15 causing Karen to fall on the ground.
01:21 9.
01:23 Scary Andrew There's probably no line of work that deals
01:26 with more terrible customers than retail.
01:29 So just for a moment, we can all vicariously live through Andrew as he worked at a Home
01:34 Depot store.
01:35 In the middle of arguing, a Karen couple had seemingly asked for a price check on an item,
01:41 then made a drama when Andrew asked them to take a photo of it.
01:52 Eventually the employee hit his breaking point, uttering curse words at the pair.
01:57 The male Karen then tried to sound responsible but came across as patronizing as he reminded
02:02 Andrew that he worked there.
02:09 With another worker also taking the side of the couple, Andrew was done and he angrily
02:14 quit on the spot.
02:24 8.
02:25 Boiling Points In 2021, Sandra Albert was having a bad shift
02:30 at the Massapequa Diner in Long Island, New York.
02:33 But in one moment, anyone who ever worked as waitstaff got to vicariously live through
02:38 her when one unidentified man was being a nightmare.
02:41 Sandra says the guy was a semi-regular and has behaved rudely before, but this night
02:46 she tells Alison Hall he really crossed the line.
02:50 On top of trying to hand his phone number to underage girls, he repeatedly uttered homophobic
02:55 slurs.
02:56 He also called Albert an explicit insult several times.
03:00 Eventually, she had enough and asked him to leave, stating that no employee wanted to
03:04 wait on him.
03:08 As he was reluctant, seemingly acting as innocent as possible, she launched into a rant criticizing
03:13 his terrible behavior.
03:15 Reportedly, the police were called to the diner.
03:18 At one point, the man eventually left voluntarily.
03:28 7.
03:31 One-Handed Justice In one viral moment in 2022, Hailey Booth
03:36 became the coolest person on the planet.
03:39 According to her, a group of people came into the Waffle House she worked at in Austin,
03:43 Texas and were rude and demanding.
03:59 After they were asked to leave, an argument began between them and the staff, leading
04:02 to a brawl and objects being chucked around.
04:10 One person flung a metal chair at Booth, who effortlessly caught it with one hand and threw
04:15 it to the floor, immediately securing her icon status.
04:29 After being written up for chucking a sugar shaker at one of the customers, Booth left
04:33 that restaurant.
04:34 However, she stated she was blacklisted by the chain from working at other Waffle Houses.
04:40 6.
04:42 Equal Opportunity Sometimes the best revenge is some amazing
04:46 malicious compliance.
04:47 In 2018, the owner of the Pizza Inn in Greenville, South Carolina, Amanda Cartagene, received
04:53 a complaint from a customer.
04:55 He approached a staff member and asked them to refill the lettuce section at the salad
04:59 bar.
05:00 The manager explained that the employee was autistic and this wasn't part of their responsibilities.
05:15 Apparently that wasn't good enough for the man.
05:17 He suggested a sign warning customers about the restaurant's special needs staff.
05:22 Cartagene agreed, sort of.
05:32 Livid at the man's horrid attitude towards her workforce, she placed a sign at the entrance
05:37 that clarified this wasn't Equal Opportunity's establishment and that they hired everyone.
05:42 She hopes the sign encourages people to be more open-minded.
05:45 5.
05:46 Cartastrophe The arrogance of some Karens who think they
05:50 can do whatever they want and not receive comeuppance is always astonishing.
05:54 In 2015, one terrible customer had gotten under the skin of an assistant manager at
05:59 a Chevron station in Salt Lake City, Utah.
06:02 Her rude behavior caused the employee to refuse her business at the gas pump.
06:06 After being shown proof that her card hadn't been charged, Karen slapped the manager before
06:11 trying to make a hasty exit.
06:13 Unluckily for her, the worker recovered quickly and grabbed the woman, putting her in a picture-perfect
06:18 headlock as another staff member called the cops, who arrived later and escorted the menace
06:23 from the business.
06:25 4.
06:26 Lyft Language In 2022, driver James Bode's interaction
06:31 with Jackie Harford scored a ton of praise for handling a bad situation.
06:42 Looking for Lyft, Bode picked up Harford from outside her bar, The Fossils Last Stand, in
06:46 Catasauqua, Pennsylvania.
06:48 As soon as she got in, Harford expressed pleasure in Bode being white and a normal guy that
06:54 spoke English.
07:00 With that, Bode told her to get out and criticized her comments.
07:04 The man Harford was with got angry and threatened violence against the driver.
07:08 He even uttered racial slurs.
07:17 What a lovely couple!
07:18 Sadly, no charges were issued by the cops, but they did condemn the pair's actions.
07:23 However, Harford's business received many negative reviews online.
07:28 3.
07:29 Batman When the pandemic was in its prime, many establishments
07:37 had rules that required people to wear masks, regardless of vaccine history.
07:42 But some folks who ignored this have been quick to play the victim when employees react.
07:46 In 2021, Bobby Dixon and a friend entered Tweety and Pop Hardware in Seattle, Washington.
07:52 While the friend didn't wear a mask, Dixon claimed he did.
07:56 However, the video and the staff dispute this.
07:58 After receiving hostile treatment, Dixon went to re-enter the store to complain to the manager.
08:02 Instead, he was met with an employee armed with a baseball bat, telling him to leave.
08:15 After a shove, resulting in the loss of the bats, a brawl erupted between the two.
08:28 2.
08:29 Delta Disaster Some Karens are used to throwing their weight
08:32 around and getting their way.
08:34 This makes it cathartic when they finally meet an employee who refuses to cooperate
08:38 with their demands.
08:39 In 2018, Susan Perez was furious on a Delta Airlines flight at JFK Airport in New York,
08:45 after being placed near a baby.
08:51 She name-dropped her work with then-Governor Andrew Cuomo and threatened the job of air
08:55 staff Tabitha.
08:59 At this point, Tabitha had enough and wanted Perez off the plane.
09:03 Immediately, the angry passenger backtracked, trying to apologize.
09:13 But it was too late, as she was kicked off.
09:15 Afterward, Perez was placed on leave from her job at the Council of the Arts.
09:40 1.
09:41 Mayhem in McDonald's Every so often, some people like to abuse
09:46 systems to score freebies.
09:48 In 2018, Sabrina Fontelar allegedly tried to get a free soda with a water cup at a McDonald's
09:53 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
09:55 This caused her to argue with staff, including Erica Chavolla.
10:03 After Fontelar spouted a load of abuse and lobbed a fry, Chavolla had had enough of her
10:08 and approached her.
10:09 Fontelar threw a milkshake and smacked her with a tray, but nothing stopped the employee
10:13 who grabbed her, threw her about, and hit her several times.
10:17 Other staff and customers quickly stepped in to separate the brawling duo.
10:21 Afterward, Chavolla wasn't fired by McDonald's for this action-packed altercation, while
10:26 Fontelar claimed she was charged with battery.
10:29 Have you ever heard a Karen appear at your work?
