I used to work in retail and had a classic Karen who always demanded to speak to the manager, no matter how small the issue. One day she insisted a shirt was on sale even though it clearly wasn’t. She made a scene and that customer is always right. My manager told me to give her what she wants, exactly how she says. So I rang up her sale shirt but followed store policy: any overridden price means no returns or exchanges. I made sure to circle it big on her receipt and explained it slowly in front of the line she’d caused. She came back two days later trying to return it and lost it when I reminded her she’s was always right about the price, so the final sale stood. Manager backed me up 100%.
