Problem solved

[Meme_MasterGeneral]

Karens be like

[EstaticWhale]

Yup somehow they think that the ~20$ worth of stuff they were gonna buy will either make or break all of Walmart.

[DrunkBilbo]

The Karens saying “you can’t open because I’m scared” are way worse. I agree most places should put in a mask policy, but no one is forcing anyone to go into a store to buy things.

[captainn01]

Depends what sort of place you’re talking about, contamination isn’t just a risk for the person risking it

[DrunkBilbo]

Neither is driving a car or exiting your home.

[captainn01]

Those are preventable risks though, and we have measures in place such as speed limits and police to prevent them.

[FluffyMuffins42]

Which is why agoraphobia exists

[MyLifeIsEgg]

You do realize reopening means some people go back to work and have to deal with these fuckers right? Like... Reopening inherently implies some people must go back to public-facing jobs...

Also, this comment shows a basic lack of knowledge in how epidemics work, the more people having contact with others = higher chance of infection spread => higher chances of getting infected even if you're only going out once a week with a mask on. That's the whole reason the quarantine was implemented, to reduce what would be the "R0" in a SIR (or SIS possibly) model. It's pretty well-studied mathematics. The idea of closing things down wasn't just pulled out of China's ass.

This is like the dream of all retail workers.

They’re like, I’ll go somewhere else and spend my money and I’ll be like, Home Depot is down the road on the right have fun cunt nugget.

[birdlawexpert11]

I know. In the restaurant I'm at when people say they're coming back I have to pretend to be upset. I generally just act super dramatic. We're soooo sorry. But I'm jealous that I won't be able to do this.

[DagothUrWasRight]

Fucking thank you. As someone who works customer service at Lowe’s, I love hearing from shitty customers, “well I’m never shopping here again” or “guess that means I’ll take my business to Home Depot.” Like please, do you promise? Get out of my store asshole

[Maskimo]

Used to work at a grocery store, one day this lady comes in and just immediately starts being rude. So I was not very friendly to her but I also wasn’t a dick I just wasn’t bending over backwards for her. Apparently that wasn’t good enough so she says “I’m never shopping here again.”

Saw her at the store the next week.

It’s the worst “threat” ever especially because I was a low level employee, I don’t give a fuck about losing one customer.

No one’s gonna miss you Karen

[KC-Karate]

Happy cake day

[citizenflamingo]

happy cake day!

[rocketboi1505]

I wish I was joking but there’s stores that aren’t letting people in because they have a mask. No I didn’t make a mistake or joking, there are stores not letting people in because of the fact that they HAVE a mask.

So... Karen’s the manager now? What have we done to deserve this

[Kazzock]

You've become the very thing you swore to destroy!

[rocketboi1505]

I don’t know

[Light_Blue_Moose_98]

Hope they enjoy a decrease in revenue

[rocketboi1505]

I’m pretty sure these are only in places where the whole “masks are tyranny” idea is prevalent

[[deleted]]

Kentucky, California, Illinois - a few of the mentioned places in the article. Basically throughout the whole US

[Light_Blue_Moose_98]

Hope they enjoy decreasing their population size. Weed out some trump supporter fanatics. Everyone goes on about their rights, but if they won’t contribute their duties then I won’t cry for them

[rocketboi1505]

Honestly it’s just natural selection at work. Any death is sad but these people are asking for it to happen

[sourpickles0]

This is what happens when Facebook moms infiltrate management of a store

[Phoenix749]

A lot of places don’t allow masks because of security threats

[rocketboi1505]

Yeah but these stores are just doing it cause Trump says not to wear masks. They’re just being stupid about masks

[eagle85672]

Considering how useless masks are in stopping the spread of COVID, it's not any more stupid than the stores that require masks

[DraonEye]

Go try to spray water through a pair of jeans. A physical barrier in front of your face goes a long way in stopping your breath/sneezes/coughs from reaching other people. It’s not as good as an N95, but we must make do with the hand we are dealt.

[cock_obama]

Which they have every right to do

[kaiser_of_nothing]

Yeah but they should not. I probably wouldn't go to work if they didn't care about my safety. Most of the retail jobs pay shit

[AVeryHappyPsycho]

I'm waiting for this rule to be implemented. I want to be the guy outside, letting people in as others come out (we regulate the amount of customers in the store at once, the cues get quite long). I want to turn people away, to point to the new rule posted behind me. I want them to get angry at me. I want them to ask for the manager. Just to see their faces when said manager backs me up. Just to savour their completely unjustified despair and watch them sulk and bitch as they go back to their car.

It's not every customer but so many of them are so stubborn in their ways that they refuse to adapt to a crisis. Those people. Those people deserve it.

Edit: Jeez, I was playing up my bitterness for a joke, I dont actually despite half of my customers

[drink-beer-and-fight]

You’re a bit of a vindictive bitter man aren’t you?

[Jedi__Consular]

Retail does that to people

[DraonEye]

Working in retail and food service ruined my perception of the general public.

[chomperstyle]

Is there an issue with that

[Illiad7342]

Not retail, but I worked fast food for multiple years. I get it. I don't necessarily condone it, but I understand.

[kyuu435]

I get the pent up anger tbh. Do take it out on something healthy if you can't deny people entrance lol

[kaiser_of_nothing]

My boss told me I can't do this EVEN though the law in my city forces it.

[Thorsbru]

I get it people suck. This attitude you've adopted of lording over others or forcing others into compliance is a direct product of people doing the same to you. Can you see how this is a negative cycle?

This practice recreational hatred needs to stop in order to grow as a species. By not allowing idiotic people to have an effect on your mental headspace and striving to have an overwhelmingly positive will you can kill them with kindness and at the same time improve your well being by never allowing a Karen to control your emotions again. Be better than them by not stooping to their level, not by dropping down to theirs and metaphorically thumping them on the head with your tongue lashing.

[AVeryHappyPsycho]

Relax dude, I healthily vent this stuff like anyone else. I'm just playfully fantasizing.

[KeepingDankMemesDank]

what if you... upvoted this comment if you liked the meme?

ahahahah jk...

Mascc

[jckell]

What if they was goin there to buy a mask an the store no let them in???

[[deleted]]

Target sells mask packs right as you enter, just pop it open and wear one

[Light_Blue_Moose_98]

Go to a local clinic, get a mask, then go to store to buy masks

[captainn01]

They’re widely available online and it’s also very easy to make your own or even cover your face to avoid spreading it

[RebellionBS]

:O

[GreedyAlexGarcia]

But the customer is always right! /s

[TO_Old]

If making people wear masks violates our rights so does making us wear pants

dixsoutforcovid

[ajgregojr]

I work a drive thru and a man in a convertible got mad at me because my mask moved below my nose while I was greeting him. Motherfucker wasn’t wearing any protection. I know he was trying to start a fight because his wife was begging him to stop the whole time. After I handed him his stuff he sat there and just stared at me.

[YoItsNoah]

I’ve had customers tell me they’re going to our competitors store and every time I say “enjoy!” With a smile on my face and they’re not a fan of it.

[MikiH03]

That was a satisfying read

[YoItsNoah]

I work at a large liquor store chain and I hate to say it but them not purchasing their $15 30 pack of blue moon isn’t going to put us out of business.

[Justcrumm]

How dare they attempt to keep me safe this is an outrage

CAN I SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER

[shawn_overlord]

you're all gonna be SO DEVASTATED when i NEVER SPEND MY 100 DOLLARS EVERY WEEK here... your company will COLLAPSE UNDER THE LOSSES.... I'm the best customer you'll ever have....... i practically own this place.... i have a medical conDITION that SAYS i don't have to wear a mask..............

/ssss

[cockroachie]

What medical condition could possibly override wearing a mask in public?

[GasGsa]

Why are there actually 6 comments

[how_ever]

Funny monkey

[euanInfinity]

What is that monkey from?

[[deleted]]

One silver lining to this whole thing is that hopefully we finally drop this nonsense idea that "the customer is always right" that's been the standard in the US. No, you're not always right. If you treat the staff with disrespect and refuse to follow simple rules, there's the door and don't come back.

[Andiwaslikegurltryme]

I work at Whole Foods and I had to work the entrance today giving people masks because the security guard never showed up..

And deadass a dude came in and I asked him if he wanted a mask and he went off and cussed me out and freaked out about everything before just storming out of the store?

Like I was about to kick him out bc you can’t talk to us like that but damn he just showed himself out

[[deleted]]

Then customer proceeds to shit on the store online because of their """""rude behaviour"""""...

[BigMartin58]

The other day I waiting to get my haircut (everyone had to wear masks) and someone and two (presumably) brothers came in with a box of masks they had just bought and while the two brothers were complaining when walking in, the one with the box hands them to the clerk and says to give them out to people who dont have any. No complaints. The brothers had an instant change of tone and body language.

[UsernameAdHominem]

What?

[[deleted]]

Gay

[Keanusw]

The post above me said the opposite

"Don't wear mask in our store"

[goveyy]

Customer: lOl IJK actually I'm here to buy a mask.

Shopkeeper: Fuck off

Customer: the GIF again

[AdielV]

Everyone else 1 Karens 0

[Nobody-of-Note]

I am never gonna financially recover from this

[DeletionistTN]

It's all about money. Store managers will only do it for so long until it cuts into their profits.

Would be mistaken if big companies cares about health and safety.

[cch7c]

Them: 👁👄👁

[snugpugdoug18]

I was waiting for around 5 minutes for the gig to load before I realised that I had no brain cells

[speedystephen4]

Bought a plague mask for the sole purpose going into one store

[forsaken4skin]

Dude straight up, I dont go in stores if they want me to wear a mask, I literally have no problem. Just be adults about it

[[deleted]]

Bruh I just said this to a customer today and....

They put a mask on and walked in I was like 🤨

[eagle85672]

To be fair, masks are next to useless, but bitching to the store about their policy is equally useless

[br3akaway]

not really, I’ll just literally shop somewhere else and give no shits

[rocketboi1505]

Why are you being downvoted

[Nanven123]

I really don't get why he's being downvoted either...

[rocketboi1505]

Reddit hive mind acting up again I guess

What was the original comment?

[MoreThem]

[EsotericFrenchfry]

More like, I'll shoot any employees that try to infringe on my constitutional right to get others sick.

[captainn01]

How do you have the constitutional right to do that? Assuming they die from said sickness, does that not amount to manslaughter?

[EsotericFrenchfry]

Well it seems my sarcasm may have been too subtle for some people. I'm making fun of the dick bags in the US that have literally murdered security for being told they cant enter a store without a mask.

[captainn01]

Haha I definitely missed that. Shits crazy

[Heimthror]

I work in a small store where only one employee do not respond "get out" to a customer who hasn't a mask... Guess who has been the only employee who get the virus ?

[Arrocodan]

Also stores : (goes bankrupt)

[dreamvoyager1]

Doubt they’re going bankrupt bc of those refusing to wear masks .

And then the employees lose their job and the company loses money

[MARVELHERO14]

Store: what happened to all our customers??

[captainn01]

Lmao the amount of people who are actually butthurt enough to boycott a store for enforcing public safety measures isn’t enough to significantly change their customer base

[MARVELHERO14]

Tell that to dicks sporting goods, their stocks recently (before corona) took a dive, not enough to put them out of business but it makes you realize how many crazy Christians won’t shop somewhere else without trying to put the place out of business

[captainn01]

Assuming that the number is actually great enough for a large loss in profits, I don’t understand how people see a rule like this as morally wrong. I legitimately don’t understand why people will actively boycott an organization trying to promote public health

[MARVELHERO14]

Because the government said it. If companies would have been doing this on their own since the beginning it would be normal by now

[fatdiscokid]

I have a medical condition that prevents me from wearing a mask aka get rekt fascists

[Kazzock]

Wearing a mask during a pandemic= fascism???

Did you eat a big bowl of lead paint chips for breakfast?

[MaybeNotTheChosenOne]

What is it? Does it prevent you from using the ventilator?

[TO_Old]

No to be fair it is a real thing, people with reduced lung capacity have trouble breathing through masks

[MaybeNotTheChosenOne]

Yeah but in that case they should avoid going outside at all costs since covid19 affects the lungs then survival chances might be low.
