Restaurant Owner Teaches A 'Karen' Lesson After She Mistook Him To Be A Server And Lied To Get A Table, Ending The Night With An Expensive Bill

The world will crash and burn if Karens run around causing chaos. What’s worse is if those Karens breed or train more little Karens.

Working in industries where you have to face a good number of people throughout your shift, you’re bound to come across individuals like that. It’s prevalent in jobs that deal with retail or restaurants.

“I know the owner” and “I want you to call the manager” have become taglines of Karens; just hearing them makes you cringe. It would be nice if, at that moment, a miracle would happen and karma would bite them back for inconveniencing workers.

Sometimes, those kinds of miracles do happen. A Redditor posted on the subreddit ProRevenge after dealing with not one, but six Karens in a restaurant that he owned.

OP began with the tale of how his restaurant came to be. It was a cherished place that was built by his grandparents and has been run for three generations.

His parents retired from the business with some of the restaurant shares and left it for him to manage. At worst, he was worried that the loan he took to upgrade the place would go to waste, but soon after a fortunate feature from a YouTuber, the place was booming.

The Karen returned with her dad, and they demanded to speak with him. OP invited him to view the footage from the security cameras and even provided the audio.

The dad ended up dropping threats and instead got mad at his own daughter after finding out the full extent of what she did. They left OP in peace after that, and now he has the extra receipt from that night framed on his desk.

Do you think those Karens learned their lesson? Tell us which side you’re on in the comments.
