These Employees Figured Out The Secret To Dealing With Karens: Ghost Them
Sometimes rude customers are hard to ignore because they're in your face, and you can't help but get into an argument with them. Other times, you just have to find the strength to ignore them, like these Subway employees.
Charlie Just Wanted A Sub
Charlie (charlie_kincade) went into a Subway and just wanted a sandwich.
However, she also got a show - a woman, let's call her Karen, was yelling at the Subway employees. So Charlie started video recording the incident.
Charlie's Video
Charlie's video begins halfway through the altercation; you can hear Karen arguing with an employee who was about to call her supervisor.
"Call her, but finish my sandwich first!" Karen said.
Respect The Employees
"No I won't finish the sandwich, because you need to respect me!" said the employee.
"Well you need to respect your customers, and I will tell them you don't respect customers!" Replied the Karen, frustrated.
"Would You Finish My Sandwich!?"
"Would you finish my sandwich!?" Karen says
But the employee walks away and ignores Karen and helps the next customers in line. In the video you can see Karen getting more frustrated because she's now being ignored.
Charlie Was Next In Line For Food
Luckily for Charlie, she was next in line and you can hear her ordering her food. But her camera still focuses on Karen.
This is when Karen looks at the employees and yell, "Finish my sandwich!"
"You're Going To Be Reported!"
Then Karen walks away and you can hear her say, "you're going to be reported that's for sure!"
She gets to the door and opens it before yelling at the employees again.
"I'd Like To Speak To Your Supervisor"
"Call your supervisor right now! Please call her right now! You wanted to call her a while ago! Call her now; I'd like to talk to her!" Karen pleads with the employees.
But the employees continue ignoring her and keep taking other customers' orders. And Karen exits the restaurant.
TikTok Commenters Praise The Employees
In the comments, everyone was either laughing at Karen or praising the coworkers for the way they handled the situation.
Many agreed it's the best way to handle a problematic customer.
