“I want to speak to your manager.” Karen to Karen
/
In an unexpected turn of events, Karen has become a manager at the grocery store. She has become the thing she swore to destroy.
After years of horrible service, she decided to take matters into her own hands and become the boss of the operation. She used to say, “Where is your manager?” Now she says, “I am the manager.” The employees of the grocery store, such as Luca the bag boy could not believe his eyes when he found out what happened. We asked Luca, a bag boy, what he thought of the event.
“She used to yell at me when I didn’t bag her groceries right. I always tried to apologize, but before I could get a word in, she always asked for my manager,” he said with a look of fear in his eyes. “One day it was really bad, she came back with her groceries, claiming that I broke her eggs on purpose. When in reality, she had dropped her bag in the parking lot. Before she left, she mumbled under her breath, “If I ran this place.” I laughed to myself when she said that. There was no way it could happen.”
He was wrong, so wrong. “I slapped myself silly when I found out she was becoming our manager. I don’t know what she did, but she has this kind of power that scares the living crap of my old manager. He’s taking it pretty hard. He never expected his worst nightmare to come alive.” Luca is still waiting to see if he will keep his job. He also said that his old manager would avoid Karen at all costs.
A change of managers is always a scary thing, but it’s even more frightening when a Karen becomes a manager. Some customers are changing grocery stores and driving on the other end of town to avoid Karen. Sources close to Meme Magazine said that Karen is planning on changing the entire set-up of the store and plans on firing half of the original staff. The news is shocking and quite frighting. Some employees who have been working at the grocery store their whole life are quitting or transferring somewhere else. What will Karen do with all her power? Who will Karen speak to if she has complaints now? What will she do if someone named Karen asks to speak to her? A Karen has never gotten this far; what will she do with all this power?
Stay tuned, Meme Magazine will be keeping a close eye on the situation.
