The Coffee Line Karen Payback

So a few weeks ago, I was at my go-to bakery that always has a long line on weekends. Like, I’d already been standing there for 15 mins when this woman (classic Karen vibes) just walks right up to the counter like she owns the place. Totally ignored the rest of us.

Someone behind me tried to say something, like, “Um, there’s a line,” but Karen just goes, “I’m in a hurry,” and acts like that makes it okay. The staff didn’t want to argue, so they just took her order first.

I was so mad but decided to keep my mouth shut for now. Then I noticed what she ordered—a large iced coffee with extra whipped cream. That’s when I got an idea.

When it was finally my turn, I ordered the exact same thing but asked them to hold it for a sec. As Karen strutted out with her drink, I casually walked back to the counter and was like, “Hey, I think she grabbed my coffee by accident.” Said it loud enough for everyone to hear.

The staff got all apologetic, and Karen had to come back inside with her smug face looking not-so-smug anymore. She had to wait for them to remake her drink while I left sipping mine and smiling like an idiot.

Petty? Sure. But worth it? 1000%. 😏
