Notable: "There's not one person in the store" because people like her don't see employees as people.

You could tell she knew she was not getting her way hahahhahahaa clown.

She says what she REALLY wants, right at the end "I want you to support me in being a bitch" the smug body language alone pisses me off.
Onlyhereforthelaughs
Send the cop anyway for a frivolous 911 call.
SubzeroAK
She's obviously getting some peanut butter and ice cream for that bebe.
cdub77
But is she pregnant, or are you assuming her family status? /s
Mr21782Man
First off, unless you're hooked up to an oxygen mask you're already breathing CO2. If would know this if she graduated from 1st grade.
ligmabolz
She should boycott them and not shop there , lol
Fnogg
She should boycott 911 instead of tying up their lines on the chance of an actual emergency.
JoeT85
this was never about her rights, this was about her trying to browbeat someone into doing what she wanted. It was about being entitled.

Stupid comes in all kinds of colors, but the cancerous Republicans politicized the virus. And the majority of Repubs are eneducated whites.
andrewrankin1087360
Im not even american and through all your media i realise this to be true
Yrmsteak
I would assume it's because a non-white person doing this might just be what some racists want so they can call more violent racists to deal

I mean its not always white people. I remember early on in the pandemic a black dude shot someone in my state because they wouldn't let his

GF in without a store without a mask.

Was the gf white? Lol beside the point, thats crazy...i know theres stupid/crazy in all shapes and forms but still
sevenstringprog
1/ When managing a bar frequented by mostly left leaning patrons, I had SEVERAL poc get in my face about us enforcing the mandate
sevenstringprog
2/ it really wasn’t exclusive to white ppl or right wing supporters, tbh. It really made me realize there are just shitty people all around

3/ Imo, it really boils down to this sense of entitlement and pride that America as a whole seems to thrive on, and just sheer ignorance

It's hilarious /s that she thinks 911 is a support hotline.
KevorkianScarf
Well most of them expect to have the “moral” support from the police since a lot of them run in the same circles

Private property…good bye…
Deadlyfire
Think of it like shes trying 2 buy a gay couple’s wedding cake but the store is a Christian bakery. Oh the hypocrisy and mental gymnastics.
LrrrRulerofThePlanetOmicronPerseiVIII
Except there are actually valid laws stating you can’t discriminate against people based on orientation. Can refuse service for LEGAL reason
Deadlyfire
Not wearing a mask is a choice. Therefore it’s not discrimination. Not serving ppl based on race, gender, ethnicity is discrimination.
TheS4ndm4n
Discrimination based on religion is also illegal. Except there is no recognized religion that prevents you from wearing a facemask.
TheS4ndm4n
And even if there was, the store would probably still win the lawsuit in the current pandemic.
Deadlyfire
Yea, I know. I was just listing examples. Should have included religion instead.
Onlyhereforthelaughs
But, but my religious medical O2 rights! Jesus said let there be O2, and so there was! /s

That was in the old testament. Jezus doesn't show up until the sequel.

Jaeger6Ix
Are you even allowed to call 911 for this kinda shit? It's not even an emergency why is the stupid 911 operator entertaining this Karen.
DefinitelyaHumanNotanAlien
I believe the operator imagined the patrol officer would likely arrest her for that and no doubt causing a scene, but Karen backed down.
ahernandez
This is an underrated comment. She is abusing emergency services and that should be viewed as a criminal act.
Fuckweasel
No, but they do anyway. People have literally called 911 because fast food restaurant ran out of .
AMercer
Yeah, she should get in trouble for abusing 9-1-1.
alephile
Totally an emergency : she has six minutes left to shop! She drove all-tHiS-wAy … seriously what a fucking idiot.
Yrmsteak
I assume she gets a fine for calling an emergency line without an emergency. I don't know the 50 states many different laws though
MadOatmeal
Maybe she was trying the get a better picture of the situation. Maybe she saw a way to de-escalate the situation...
CatchBadCrow
UK we have two numbers... The emergency and non emergency numbers. Using the former for a situation that is (barely) the latter is a no-no..
SindarElla
Ditto, but most people like this are too stupid to know how to look up the non-emergency number for their area (in the US anyway)
Warune
No you can be arrested for calling 911 for this shit.
Bonsaipanda
No, but the dispatch has to probe the caller to make sure they are not reporting a distress in secretive terms where they can't speak freely
Bonsaipanda
This fucknut in the video is just endangering people who are trying to get through to 911 by wasting the dispatcher's time.
Onlyhereforthelaughs
I mean, people do, but it's supposed to be FOR EMERGENCIES. When I have a non-emergency, which is most cases, I call the non-emergency -
Onlyhereforthelaughs
number. Stuff like a plume of smoke in the distance. I don't KNOW it's a house fire, it could be a controlled burn. But I call it in -
Onlyhereforthelaughs
to make sure they're aware of it. Every area has their own non-emergency number, and it's handy to have in your phone.
Browner1129
When I was a 911 call taker the first thing we would have told her is to hang up and call the non emergency line.
Nysri
Possibly mental illness? Does she need to be hospitalised? Get the address. Let the cop get there and figure it out.
GlitteringMisanthrope
People need to stop excusing being a twat with mental illness.
IordNeko
I seriously hope 911 charged her for misuse of the service.
Justzissguy
Yeah, I was under the impression it was a crime to call 911 in a non-emergency and you should instead call the local police department…

The outrage I feel watching this is flooding my brain with dopamine and it feels so fucking good

In my dreams I would have THIS IS SPARTA'D her onto the sidewalk but apparently we can't do that because it is "assault"

Blueb3
Lots and lots and lots.
fiddlemyhiddle
This is their go-to move whenever they don’t get what they want, so it’s safe to say, a whole lot.
TheUneasyBoosh
Pretty sure you can be charged for that, remember a local news story in my area about someone being charge for calling 911 hundreds of times
Exyr
You'd be surprised. She probably drives to every business just to do this.
LinesOfCokeWithSnowman
next, to the kebob shop next door that refuses to let her lick their pita breads
Onlyhereforthelaughs
Enough that she should be fined for it.
CallsYouATosser
Deliberate misuse is a misdemeanor that's punishable by jail time. Ignorance of the law, or delusional defiance of it, is not a legal excuse
Vesane
She could also be bluffing to make the operator feel like she's in the minority, to try to make her conform with what she says others did
Chubipanda
Does the US not have a non-emergency number to call for stuff like this? I've heard operators rip into idiots for wasting resources here
malakim
But you don't understand. Its her god-given right and she's discriminated against, this CLEARLY is an emergency!
GrizzlySaint
I think the 911 dispatch honestly stayed on the phone thinking the woman would commit a crime on the business and employee and report her
freckledkink
There is. Every police and sheriff's office has a non emergency number
circlebreaker
What's the charge called in the U.S. for people who make spurious calls to 911 that waste resources for BS like shopping/their errands?
GlitteringMisanthrope
Varies by state & town. Many have no laws or ordinances at all.
GlitteringMisanthrope
When I lived in Minnesota they'd charge you $500 for an unwarranted 911 call. My friend's toddler called 911 while playing. $500 fine.
drbloodbathmc
I feel like you should get an exception for the toddler, at least for a first offense
circlebreaker
It depends entirely on the responding officer in a lot of places. Sometimes they'll just give the kid a stern talk about why it's wrong.
GlitteringMisanthrope
Lol What are they going to say to a 2 year old?
Neednoggle
Probably daily.

kitchennightmare
She's so wrong about so many things but this is about the best this could have gone. At least she wasn't screaming or getting physical.
Onlyhereforthelaughs
Technically we don't see her walk away, or the guy lock the door, so for all we know, she could have.
ahernandez
No. No. Just no. The line is not physical violence or verbal altercations. The line should be basic respect and decency. This should not /1
mynamespaul
1/ I think what they mean is “given the kind of person this woman obviously is, this is as well as this realistically could’ve played out”
mynamespaul
2/ don’t think anyone is arguing that this woman isn’t a narcissistic shitbag. Just that since she _is_ a shitbag, it could’ve been worse
ahernandez
Be “well at least she she didn’t get violent.” This should be “I can’t believe she thought the cops were her personal body guards” /end
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
While you're not wrong. It HAS gone so much worse in other similar situations and I bet that worker cares about that line being crossed.
ahernandez
You don’t move the goal posts back every time something worse happens.
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
I certainly didn't. But go ask anyone if they'd rather deal with a Karen shouting or be attacked, and if that's an important line or not.
gdex86
When you push the line back to "At least she didn't hit him" you make a ton of awful shit permissable. I say this with 8 years of retail.
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
With 8 years of Walmart overnights on top of another 8 in retai, there are 2 lines. You've obviously never been under threat of violence.
Illinifan88
Y'all didn't want to give cake to gay couples. You cemented this. The fuck outta here...

The fact that she wasn't arrested and charged with wasting the time of emergency services enrages me.

Then he'd have to stick around and file the report. He just wants to go the fuck home.
rift555
chucklemore
OMG the sense of entitlement.
Tairu8
How do people not understand that this is no different than being required to wear a shirt or shoes to get service?
Justzissguy
Because when the issues of mask wearing and mandates originally came up it immediately got politicized.
SqueezitTheClown
Because common decency has politicized to the point that these people believe it’s their god given right to be a dick.
ArkoneAxon
Because they grew up wearing shirts and shoes. As Shakespeare put it, "a barbarian thinks the customs of his tribe are natural law."
nanyatenyaa
Actually its a bit~ different. Businesses have a responsibility to set requirements for making entering their place of business safe.
nanyatenyaa
In that same vein, there is actually an exclusion in the ADA laws which allows for a safety policy to supercede the ADA protections.
nanyatenyaa
Meaning that the need to make the place safe to be in trumps pretty much everything.
nanyatenyaa
Sort of like if you were allergic to chlorine, went to a pool, and the pool is like "Well.. we need this for safety reasons. Soo.... ya!"
nanyatenyaa
You can't just go around and say "Well, I have a right to be here. Change it." because they're fulfilling a duty to make the place safe.
Exyr
Kid showed a lot more restraint than I would have.
frankenmullet22
They are probably used to it by now
Onlyhereforthelaughs
We sadly have to. If we acted like her, we'd be fired. We have to be respectful, no matter how dumb she is.
Exyr
Yeah I'd not be fired but then again my company actually follows the rules. We would have been the one on the phone to cops 1/2
Exyr
Calling that someone is trying to trespass onto the property.
AMercer
I learned long ago when you get emotional and angry and try to argue the Karens love it and you lose. If you keep calm then they get pissed
spartanliam115
less restraint more dead inside and just wants to go home.
Nasigoring
He was just so over her crap. Doesn't get paid enough for this rubbish.
ReturnWinchester
I feel like that kind of restraint left me about 6 months ago. If she tried to pull that shit in front of me now I'd have choice words.
Purrmageddon
I woulda kicked her out and my boss would have yelled at her in harsh tones that someone from India yells when they're mad.
youbetchamom
What kid? She said there's not one person in the store. Oh, I see. No one that matters. Got it. Just a minimum wage worker. No one.

OMG YES !!!!
KyoLookinAss
Yeah? You gonna beat the shit out of a woman? Really show the world how manly you are? Lol alright pal.
Sloppydrunkcatlady
What does her having a vagina have to do with it?

Nah just close the door on her and say we are closing early. You should seek some therapy dude.

Why do I need to seek therapy when this guy is insinuating he'd strong-arm a woman because she's loud?
tehdrmonkey
Who the fuck said anything about hitting anyone? Do you even know how to read?
KyoLookinAss
Yeah I guess I'm the piece of shit for thinking the kid did the right thing and escalating any higher like the comment suggests is bad.
EstellaOsoka
Most likely just covering his ass with the store manager by recording the incident.
CyanideBreathMint
Ya, I would have definitely “felt threatened” by her behavior;)
aFadingMemory
About the time she said "there's nobody in the store" implying the shopkeep is not a person. That's when I'd have completely lost my shit.

I would have wanted to offer to call the police on her for trespassing since she appears like she's refusing to leave private property too

Showing up a few minutes before closing is already shit behavior. Glad she didn't get what she wanted.

"There's not one person in the store." Yeah, except the man who WORKS THERE KAREN!

At my store, we still have to let people in even if it's less than 5 minutes. I hate it.

Some people need drama. If they don’t have it to talk about, they may have to look into a mirror and self reflect on their past behavior.
MacallanNeat
Show even 1% lack of restraint and she’ll get the cops all over the ‘dangerous radical leftist.’ We gotta be careful, unfortunately.
KyoLookinAss
Even if she's in the wrong, being passive about it is the correct plan whether she's frustrating or not. There's no 'unfortunately' about it
KyoLookinAss
Unless of course you think getting violent with strangers should be the appropriate response when things aren't going your way.
MacallanNeat
I said “showing 1% lack of restraint.” Does that, to you, mean “getting violent?”
ArkoneAxon
No, not a "radical leftist." A RETAIL worker. Ergo "not a real person." She even says, "there's nobody else in the store."
