Male Karen Wants To Speak With The Manager After The Restaurant Closes, Has A Meltdown

Leona Martinez

Facing a difficult or demanding customer, commonly referred to as a "Karen," can indeed be a challenging situation for many employees. So why?? The term "Karen" has emerged as a colloquial term to describe a specific type of customer who is perceived as entitled, demanding, and often rude or disrespectful to service staff. And their aggressive and confrontational attitude can make employees feel disrespected, powerless, and anxious about how to handle the situation appropriately.

Karen is commonly known as a middle-aged white woman. While less discussed, these women have male counterparts. Karen has a husband. His name is Ken. And this guy, who is a manager at a local sub shop, had an encounter with Kevin (a male Karen). The encounter was so interesting that he decided to share it with people online.

He worked all day, which was incredibly taxing. A few minutes before closing, he received a call from someone requesting him to pick up his order. They informed him they close at 10

After 10, the man arrived at the sub shop and insisted they still prepare him a meal even though they were already closed. He acted rudely and demanded to see the management after being rejected

So the man removed his apron and introduced himself as the manager

After making a few threats, the man walked out and informed them that they had just lost a crucial client. The manager said, "Thank God for that!"
