Imagine living your life this angry.

u/SharpGuesser 6d ago
Imagine how much bodily fluid she must consume treating restaurant employees like so.

And imagine living your life stuck with that, whatever that woman is called. Yikes!🙈🙈🙈

Yeah, I'm a high school teacher and I have students go off like that. Once they wind themselves up it takes forever for them to wind back down. It's awful.

u/Flashmemory256 6d ago
Context from employee:
"We had a customer come in with her order, check it and leave. She then comes back 20 minutes later complaining that it’s soggy, which of course it would be after that long. We offer her money back and she gets offended that we didn’t immediately jump to remake her order. We then go to remake her order and she proceeds to insult us the whole time while we’re waiting for her food to come out. The cashier then snaps back after several minutes of this woman’s tirade, prompting this exchange."

I don't miss food service or retail work. Sending good energy to those poor workers

u/ZombieNinjaPirates 6d ago
comes back 20 minutes later complaining that it’s soggy
That is all I need to know. There is no pleasing people who approach food, take out and eating with this much disregard for common sense.
•
u/Flashignite2 6d ago
The workers really did everything to oblige her but still she was an asshole about it. If they remade my order i would be so thankful. But i wouldnt do that in the first place. Waiting that long the food do become soggy and it is what it is.

u/RicardoCabezass 6d ago
When are people going to figure out that they can be recorded anywhere in public?
•
u/raulrocks99 6d ago
Maybe around the same time that they figure out that private businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone, especially belligerent sociopaths.
So...never? 🤷♀️

u/mrmemo 6d ago
Manager needs to grow a spine. You have every right and encouragement to tell me about problems with my restaurant's food, staff, or building. You do not get to berate my employees and spout vulgar bile in the dining room in front of other behaved customers.
Tell them to leave, and when they refuse (because of course they will), call the cops. They'll tell Karen what they've told countless Karens before: a business has no obligation to serve you, or make your food the way you want, or even give your money back if you demand it. You can try to pursue all of that through claims court, but today you have to leave the property right now.
And then just let the trash take itself out. She'll throw a tantrum and refuse to leave, so the cops arrive and she makes it worse for herself, and eventually she's being carted away with a new set of shiny bracelets.

u/-You_Cant_Stop_Me- 6d ago
I was a manager of a Mexican restaurant about 11 years ago. Had someone order the "spicy chicken quesadilla" (we toasted it both sides btw), a woman tried to get the meal taken off the bill because it was too spicy. She had an about 2cm² peice of the quesadilla left on her plate that had a half ring (minus a small bite) of jalapeño in it. There was jalapeño diced up and mixed all through the chicken, veg and cheese mix in the quesadilla, but apparently this one bit that wasn't diced up was far too hot so she yelled at the waiter and kicked up a fuss until he called me over.
I refused to take it off the bill because:
1) "Spicy" is in the name. 2) Jalapeños aren't crazy hot and she'd eaten loads of them in the quesadilla already. 3) The quesadilla was pretty much eaten. 4) You don't treat my staff like shit. This is most important point to me.•
u/2oocents 6d ago
What did the manager do that was spineless... and which one was the manager?
•
u/BorisTheBlade04 6d ago
Manager was seemingly the older lady who took over the register. “The mom” if I’m understanding the lore right. She absolutely should not have given the money back. She needed to take over the discussion so her employee doesn’t speak and the rage is focused on her to protect the employee. I’d tell the employee to leave normally, but she was filming so I can see why she stayed. But then I’d defend the employee. You CANNOT allow the public to treat your staff this way. She should have refused the refund and call the cops.
•
u/DistantKarma 6d ago
I worked at Home Depot from 2002-2007, and I saw so many times a person come in wanting to return an item that was basically used, no receipt, no credit card info, but demanding a cash refund. The returns cashier would explain the store policy, even offering store credit, but would just get verbal abuse back in return. Finally, a manager would come over and circumvent all the cashier's training and the actual store policy and just give the asshole their money, while the asshole glared at the cashier for just doing her job correctly. Most times the returned item was just chucked into the compactor. The worst example of it I ever saw was a 28K BTU A/C window unit that probably sold for more than $500, and was clearly at least 5 years old, with rust on the top.
•
u/Hiondrugz 6d ago
Call the cops and just have her removed and laugh as she gets tased and repeatedly says "I know my rights" while simultaneously not knowing them.
•
u/2oocents 6d ago
It's a fun fantasy, but was settled long before the cops would have showed up and not have been able to do anything but make her leave... most of the time people like this quiet right down before getting tased.
Plus, having police outside is bad for business
I still don't see how the manager was spineless

u/SharpGuesser 6d ago
Yeah, but its bad business strategy, it's easier to just not waste and time resources on these fucks, just get them out and move on so you can do your job and save some energy.

The absurdity of someone like this calling others ignorant.

u/drivethrugarrett 6d ago
Her walking up with her arm up is a threat and is assault. Even if she wasn’t going hit the person recording, she still made that advance. Cops should have been called right then

u/illbegoodipromis 6d ago
Trespass garbage humans immediately so they can never come back. If everyone did this they would run out of restaurant options. I genuinely hate motherfuckers that act like this.

•
u/Swolar_Eclipse 6d ago
In 2026 CE, why do people still think their permission has anything to do with them being recorded in public?
News flash: while in public, you shouldn’t have any expectation of privacy regarding your image/likeness/voice being recorded and posted. SCOTUS will back me up on this.

“I paid my bill. Like I said, you can’t protect her. Cause she’s ignorant. No, I want my money back on my card. I don’t want my money back in cash. Put my money back on my card.” That part?
•
•
u/tittysprinkles112 6d ago
She probably ate all of the food and is still demanding her money back. It's an old scumbag trick. If she hadn't eaten all of the food she would be showing it to them.
•
u/TheDonger_ 6d ago
Yeup
Very very popular tourist spot near me with hundreds of ppl daily, they got a sign plastered on their counter in both English and other common languages that says:
" if more than a quarter of your food is missing you get no refund and no remake"
They get a... LOT... of entitled tourists trying to treat it like its an American establishment lol
The place has good food too its crazy that they even get this issue that commonly that they need a sign

About 20 years ago I was working at an IHOP, and we had a young lady up front, who was the hostess. She came and got me. And I had to go up front to find out what the problem was. This lady put her name down on the wait list was told it would be about 20 minutes. She came back 3 hours later. Wanting to be sat right now because it's her turn and I said, like, ma'am, you're like 3 hours late, I have this lobby full of people that have been sitting here patiently waiting to be sat. So if you want to be sat, you need to put your name back on the list again. Would you like to put your name on the list? And then she proceeded to go off and call me a racist.lol
•
u/joonduh 6d ago
Can businesses just kick out unruly and abusive customers without giving them money back? I feel like people should be entitled to refunds when appropriate, but abusing the staff should be a deal-breaker right? Like gtfo or you're gonna get trespassed and forfeit whatever refund would've come to you. I'm no restaurant owner but I'd love to have that as a policy.
•
u/Putthebunnyback 6d ago
Yes, they can. If the customer wants a refund they can pursue the matter in civil court. Which is what I would've done if I were the employee: get out, and no refund. If she won't leave, call the cops.

At that point, I would have thrown that money at her and she would have been picking it up off the floor.

What the fuck is wrong with the manager of that restaurant? That lady wouldn’t have seen a dime back from me. The cops would have been called before the video started.

I had a boss call someone a twat after they berated me and then him. I worked in insurance and this guy was known to be one of the nicest guys in the business and I had rarely heard him say cuss words and I hadn’t heard the word twat in years 😂 to this day, still the best boss I’ve ever had. Good dude.

I saw a woman walking around electronics at a Walmart. She went into a rage throwing a dramatic tantrum like this but worse. She was screaming at the employees about being racist and launched into a highly dramatic display that was obviously planned in advance. She demanded to see the general manager. Fortunately when the GM showed up he was a black gentleman who knew exactly what was going on. Police arrived. She was eventually arrested. I didn't check You Tube but I'm sure it's there somewhere.

"You don't have permission to record me!"
Lawyer, here. What I found funny is how this woman commits an assault (by making the cammer flinch at the fake incoming punch) and in the same moment screams that the cammer doesn't have permission to record her.
The irony is that the cammer does not need permission to record while the subject of the video would need permission to hit the cammer in order for her actions to not be illegal. Permission is a defense against crimes like assaults or battery, etc. E.g., some people get off on getting beaten up by dominatrixes. If they tried to press charges or sue the dominatrix, the dominatrix would use permission as the defense. That trail it would come down to whether or not there was sufficient evidence of permission.
TL;DR - this person is wrong in ways she hasn't even imagined yet.
