Karen Demands Nonexistent Limited Edition Muffins, Manager Demands Employees To Find Them 2026

Imagine you are working as an employee at a café and you have an obnoxious boss and an entitled customer.

What your life would be like? It’s a trouble, we know. Well, that happens everywhere. Today, we have a story of a Reddit user who was once working at a café where one day an entitled Karen (customer) came and asked for special limited-edition muffins. OP told her that we don’t have any of those left because it was a limited edition but Karen again told her to give her five of those muffins. OP thought that she might have not heard her so this time she told her louder that they do not have those muffins anymore. Karen got mad at OP and again demanded to get those muffins and told OP to call her manager. The manager came and told OP to get her those muffins. OP told him that we don’t have any of those and the Manager told OP that we have left some, just go and find them. Not only this but he told her not to get back to work until she finds them and OP did exactly what he said. Scroll down to read what OP did next.
