‘Okay, you can shop wherever you bought that instead’: Cashier gets sassy when a gaslighting Karen tries to return a product they don't sell, sends her packing

If you've ever had the misfortune of working in retail, you've likely come across your fair share of Karen customers. Irritable, defiant, and obstinately determined to get their way, Karens bulldoze any semblance of structure in a store, demanding special treatment from each manager like they're the Queen of England.

Sorry, miss, but I doubt Lizzy would have tried to score $20 bucks by attempting to return a product a store doesn't sell.

This cashier, luckily, caught a money-grubbing Karen in a lie when she attempted to do just that, summoning a month-old, used Christmas liqueur to the register in the hopes of returning it. "It's gross," isn't usually a viable reason for returning opened food items, but in a Karen's mind, anything is fair game. Keep scrolling to read how this worker put a woman in her place over an egregious misuse of power, telling her to buzz off when nobody else was willing to stand up to her.

Back in my retail days, I was forced to fend off my fair share of Karens. Working for a company that prided itself on its insane return policy, we'd have ladies coming in trying to return 5-year-old shirts with pit stains and a missing button–and we were forced to comply per company policy! No matter how bonkers a customer request was, we were obligated as employees to fulfill their every wish.
So this story really strikes a chord with me because this snarky cashier lives out my rebellious break room dreams.
