It's something to do with calling "stupid white women" Karens. Not so much stupidity, though there may be a lot of stupid Karens about. It is more that they have a over developed sense of entitlement. Karens tend to stamp their little feet until they get what they want. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold nigb55009 Posted September 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 7, 2020 I`m happily married to a Karen, she is very good at getting the best deals and customer service out of people. That, I believe is were the " Karen " term originated. She doesn`t need to " stamp her little feet " she`s just very persistent and refuses to back down when she knows, that as a customer she is in the right. The amount of money she has saved us over the last thirty years must be quite considerable now. Perhaps I should have kept count. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The examples of Karens that I have read about appear to go well beyond that though. They insist on stridently telling other people what they should and should not do. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold nigb55009 Posted September 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 7, 2020 As she is an Area Manager for a pub company, it is her duty to inform staff, during training, of their role and make sure that they to guidelines, such as COVID 19. Track and trace, social distancing and limiting the number of customers in each venue are equally important as the ability to serve at the bar during this pandemic. However, it is sometimes necessary to " tell " some people more forcefully because they don`t listen the first time or refuse to co-operate. When individuals can be fined for not adhering to the rules it`s sometimes for their own good. It is not her natural way of treating people, more that it needs to be done to keep herself, her staff and customers safe. Normally she`s very friendly and has excellent people skills. But making people listen sometimes goes with the job. I`m Karen isn`t the only person in that position, there many more, and not all called Karen. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I think people are getting mixed up. The "customer rights" thing comes from a case where a woman ignored the black worker and asked for the manager. It was filmed and became an "internet video". With the poor woman being ridiculed not having any chance to reply. She had been found guilty by social media without people knowing what it was actually about. it's a racist term. Just like Gammon is. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Gammon is. This poor woman, asked for the manager and ignored a member of staff, which resulted in social media reaction, without having any chance to reply. Two things seem missing in the complaint made on her behalf - 1. A reason why she felt the need to bypass the worker, which has no justification stated. 2. Given the opportunity for social media to ridicule the poor woman [see the lack of reason at 1. above] how was she prevented from using the very same social media to explain her reason for bypassing the member of staff? 3. Customer rights are a matter of Law, so it would be interesting to see such evidence as may lead to the conclusion about how she might have been found guilty erroneously by social media.
