Another day, another Karen causing mayhem and disrupting the lives of innocent bystanders.
This latest Karen fiasco comes out of a Costco store where one woman decided to stage a sit-in protest after refusing to wear a face mask.
A video of the incident shows the woman throwing a 3-year-old style temper tantrum before plopping on the ground in dissent. I just need you to put that on for now while youre in the building. Thats all, an employee is heard telling the woman, referring to the face mask already dangling from her ear. Just temporarily while youre in here, and then you can take it right back off.
I will not, the woman responds to the Costco employee, before going on to say the mask requirement is your problem.

Costco has had a mask policy for a while now. If one doesn't like it they shouldn't shop there.

(23,302 posts)I kept crossing paths with her and her friend Chad throughout the store. I avoided them the best I could because they were not wearing masks...she was a loud talker and kept squawking about her breathing problem so all could hear her. There was lots of eye rolling and distancing reactions from other shoppers. When I got to the check out, there they were in line ahead of me...of course. The cashier told me I could move my cart forward and begin unloading...I responded that I would wait until Karen and Chad had cleared the area. Karen looked at me and said what did you call me? I said I called you Karen because youre acting like one...she took a couple steps toward me and I dialed 911 on my phone and showed it to her...I told her that one more step closer and I will hit send. My masked husband said shell do it...I wouldnt test her. Karen backed the hell up and left with her friend. When they cleared the area, the cashier was laughing her ass off. I asked about these two not wearing masks...she replied that thats the new angle for these tRump humpers...they feign a medical issue so they dont have to wear masks. She said she sees a lot of it, unfortunately. However, Karen did not win that day.

I just don't get the fact that this is the hill they choose to die on.

(20,165 posts)This is just a silly thing to get upset about. Do they go into restaurants without shoes or shirts? Businesses can require that we have to wear tinfoil hats to shop there if they want.

(34,135 posts)At that point the employee should have kicked her the hell out of the store. Not only is the idiot refusing to comply with the rules of the PRIVATE business on their property, she isn't a member. If I were the manager of that store, I would refuse her membership and ban her for life.
My husband and I are Costco members and went to our local one a couple of weeks ago. We both wore masks but did see a couple probably in their 30s wandering around without masks. Afterwards I wished I had found a Costco employee and asked them to do something about them.

(34,135 posts)I'd say, "OK, we'll cancel your membership but you cannot ever join a Costco again." Let her go to Sam's Club.

(8,690 posts)And a store can be fined for not enforcing this. So I go into Pets Mart and the checker has her mask around her neck. I asked her to please put it on before she checks me out. She thows me a dirty look and the manager,wearing a mask, runs behind the register and checks me out pushing her out of the way.
