Bright-eyed oceanography student, trying to save our oceans, is told to give up her dreams so entitled customer can save $1.50, stands strong: 'I'll keep trying to save the oceans!'

An entitled customer decided that saving our oceans is useless and that a college student studying oceanography should quit her dreams and stay working at her family's fabric store so she could save $1.50. Though aghast, this college student stood strong and still fully intends to save our oceans.

There is truth behind the saying that there is power in our youth, and the youth will save us. They are the future of our world and can help us face the consequences of our actions that we didn't know we were going to have to face. We applaud them! So when this bright-eyed student decided to study oceanography, it should have everyone excited for the youth to save our oceans.

Unfortunately, not everyone has this starry-eyed view. In fact, according to this Karen, we should give up and focus on saving $1.50…

This entitled Karen is a regular at the family fabric store of this oceanographer student. She was back for the holidays and clocked in for a bit while she was home to help out the family. During her shift, she has always given some customers a break, mostly because she doesn't want to deal with the entitlement of some, which is totally fair. However, the entitlement of this customer simply got out of hand.

So, instead of giving this regular customer the small discount she used to give her, she decided to stop. In one encounter, this customer belittled her major, told her that the oceans were doomed, thus basically saying humanity is doomed, and threatened her mother by saying if she didn't stay to help at the story, that her mother would surely perish.
What in tarnation? The AUDACITY of some of these Karens is exponential. The daughter tried to explain that her parents fully support her dream to save the oceans and they have their own plan in place to take care of their own store. She wasn't abandoning her family. Clearly! She was back home helping with the shop and does that whenever she can.
She just wants to save the ocean and everyone should be in support of that. Even random Karens.

$"All you young people do is waste your youth on silly things, and abandon your family to die while you go waste your time." \~Closing thoughts\~ I was pretty glad that the store was empty, I don't understand what it is that entitled people have against my mom, this is like the third entitled person in my life that has told me my mom was gonna die and it would be my fault.$
