Karen: Treat me like a VIP. Give me VIP table, and VIP menu
(Karen gets VIP bill)
Seriously she was trying to be Anna Delvey and forgot how that ended up for her
@@DeathnoteBB DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?!
Lmao
*AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! YOU'RE FAKING MY BILLS YOU'RE TRYING TO GET MY MONEY!!!! I WILL CALL THE POLICE!!!! THIS IS MY RIGHT AND I WILL CALL THE POLICE, YOU SAID THAT YOU WOULD GIVE FREE DRINKS AND DINNER!!!!! THIS IS MY RIGHT AND I WILL CALL THE POLICE TO TAKE YOU TO JAIL FOR FRAUD!!!!!!!* (That one Karen)
lol
First story: The only thing that would have made this more funny is if he was like, "Oh ok, here let me get the number of the owner named on the website and let's call him together to ask" and shes like "Yes of course" types in the number calles it and then his phone is ringing and hes like: "Oh, one moment please" Anwsers the phone and she hears his voice over the phone and her face Goin pale in a second
One problem, she now has his phone number. You never want someone like that having your number.
@@lazysob2328 but it would only be the restaurant
She would say he's a dorky liar and a loser. She wouldn't believe he's the owner.
I literally thought that's what he was gonna do‼️
i thought this too
As a fellow business owner, I applaud you!!! There are so many scam artists out there ready to play the victim. The proof you had was priceless! Very educating. Thank you!
I agree the man used his smarts!!
Years ago, when I waited tables in college, a group of well-dressed girls were seated in my section and treated me like trash. Worst of all, it was a busy night and they made me go get the manager and pulled a dine-and-dash while I went to the office. Imagine the ringleader's surprise to find I'm the TA running her lab when she gets to class the next morning.
Pardon my ignorance, but what is TA?
I assume is a big thing, I hope you gave her a taste of her own medicine
@@adrianflores7269Teaching/Teacher's Assistant
I'd love for you to finish the story!
uahahahahahahahahah hope you made her lose at least 2 years
yooooo plot twist 💀💀💀
The owner having security cams is a smart decision.
Duh
Well it’s actually just common sense
True’
what if there’s a robber
Agreed I work at a restaurant and we have cameras in our place and it's a legal thing just so that if anything happens it documented and they're can't be any hearsay
What if a mega karen came in? Ur gonna need proof when she tells the police you assulted her and slurs and whatever will get you jailed
In my early teens I worked at a restaurant. The boss was so good and kind to us, chipped in whenever we were short on money for school supplies and raised us from rowdy teens to ladies.
Whenever he was short staffed we'd come back to help out. One night a woman loudly declared to her 6 year old kid, for all customers to hear, that he'd have to do well in school or end up like us.
We served her our business cards with the bill. 2 psychologists, an engineer and an accountant lol. She turned a very bright red.
Pay respect to all people. A job is a job. Just because you aren't a fancy boss business owner doesn't mean you shouldn't be respected. You work hard. Imagine the bin people. I hate it when people tell their children this. It's a bad influence socially.
When I mean "Bin people" I mean as in people who pick up the rubbish in bins on your road and stuff.
@@mushroomsrcool1449 I figured that's what you meant, but was unsure.
Sweet! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Story 1: he served their table himself, gave them extra service, cut their costs down and did everything to be the best to them in costumer service.
They spit in that and got rolled not by petty revenge but their own actions in buying so much.
Absolute legendary owner.
Owner had more patience than I would have had. She's actually quite lucky to have gotten away with as much as she did.
I love how the father flips perspectives and yells at his daughter for her behavior instead of being mad at the owner for the insane bill.
the bill wasn't insane though, considering they sat at the celebrity VIP table eating and drinking the specials. They got free drinks and sit at that table without reservation made. If anything the bill was low compared to what he should have charged for everything.
That's because the dad would've only heard her lies about why she spent so much
You know the father was an honest man who got the Karen's perspective on the story
@@AwoudeX They must've been crazy. Even I myself, hesitate to enter a foreign looking restaurant. VIP seats? Naw man
It's not really insane. Especially if they were eating off what could be considered a fine dining menu. If it had things like truffle on it. Truffle instantly raises the amount you can charge for a dish. I've seen dishes with white truffle that go for hundreds of dollars a plate. Never had the pleasure of trying the myself but I've seen them on a few menus.
You definitely are not the jerk on this. As a matter a fact, I'm smiling on the fact that she failed to do her little Karen job. You did the right thing, and I bet she'll never go Karen'ing again lol-
that made up word should 100% be added to the dictionary. thats a perfect way to describe anything annoying a karen does.
He is telling the story
Not him in the store
karening
the act of being a karen
@@porillagtag to right and oh, what about kevening?
@@karomerr1759 it’s karening time.
You are not the jerk! What you did was priceless. You kept your head and showed those ladies exactly whom there truly were!
This reminds of what Mom taught me!
Always be polite because you never know who you're talking to! This has served me well!
I waited tables for years. Some people are horrible. I now have multiple degrees and own my home. Waiters work hard usually, have families, and maybe a stepping stone for higher aspirations, maybe a hard working mother paying bills and caring for kids. You may never know their story, but they are people working for something.
Very well said *=)* I was at a restaurant with friends one night, the majority of which had been waiter's at some point..a table right beside us was full of women, being very loud and drinking..well, my friends are a bit saucy (as am I), but we ignored them..UNTIL they started acting horrible towards the staff..I'm not going into detail of what we said, but it was very salty and witty, to say the least..and THEN they decided to call their waiter over (the one they were so disrespectful to) and demanded that we be "removed" and wanted to talk to the owner..he told them "the owners not here, would you like me to call him?"..they said "ABSOLUTELY!!"..the waiter looked at us, smiled, and proceeded to call the owner with it on speaker phone..before he could barely speak these drunk women started loudly yelling their complaints..I quickly told the waiter, "let me talk to Ben", while keeping it on speaker phone..with them in stunned silence (because that totally threw them for a loop) I proceeded to tell the owner how they treated his employees, what we heard them say (one example was "maybe if you could do a decent job you wouldn't be stuck in a dead end job", not to mention what they said when the waiter left their table) and EXACTLY what we said to them, word for word..I didn't censor not 1 comment we made to them..the owner, Ben, said to immediately bring them their check, kick them out, and ban them from his restaurant..and if they said one more word OR didn't immediately leave, to call the police (both his brother's were police officers) and press charges for disorderly conduct, public intoxication and trespassing..man, I TRULY wish I had a photo of their faces 😂 *it was off the charts RIDICULOUSLY hilarious!!* I genuinely didn't think they would go quietly, BUT THEY DID..that was a lesson in what goes around comes around..Ben asked that we not be charged for our meal and thanked us..we then tallied up the cost of all our meals and gave it to the waiter as a tip..we all had a great night and some of the staff came to greet us for taking up for them..my friends that had been waiters at one point in time were like no, they deserved more than what we said..btw, what kind of a stupid person bad-mouths their waiter?! It's like, THEY'RE HANDLING YOUR FOOD 🤦
Yeah and some waiters at higher end restaurants make an absolute killing. When your bill is $300 and that is an average bill a 20% tip on that is $60. Keep that going all night long and you're easily pulling in $600 to 1,000 a night in tips. Pulling that much and you're easily making a quarter of a million dollars a year before taxes.
Yea don't judge a book by its cover. If janitors weren't janitors to clean places and pay for their families, I suggest those karens use their long-ass air to clean the cheerio-stinking rims of toilet bowls and use up their crybaby tear tissues
@@thecassandraeffectvsperilo6754 holy, how long did that take???
I waitressed for over 25 years and I loved it. Made good money (depending on where you work) and kept me in shape lol. The best place I worked was the country club, I worked four days a week 6 to 8 hours a shift… Made anywhere between $700 to $1000 a week not including house pay. I’ve waited on some of the nicest people you’ll ever want to meet, and I also waited on some of the nastiest sons of bitches you’ll ever want to meet🙄😒😡
Story 1: the restaurant owner recording the audio & video of what is going on in his establishment not only is he protecting himself, and any Celebrities or other High end Clients that he has in his place from any Legal action that might occur. The Karen in this instance got caught in a lie, and he was able to show the Father just how much of a spoiled brat she really was when Daddy wasn't around!
chubby
@@andrewconnor9302 shut up
This is for the safety of his high profile clients. People approach celebs, uninvited, and this protects them and the restaurant from liability. I find the fact the this owner has invested in high end security is impressive.
Not to mention, that some of the biggest Karens out there ARE celebrities! Ask me how I know......
@@theflash1425 how do you know?
Just a note about the surveillance thing, VIP customers such as celebrities are held to a high standard, and honestly for both their safety and his, audio surveillance is necessary.
You’re a SMART man! “Baby karen” 😂🤣😅
No, you are not a jerk. They deserve everything you did and more. Hats off to you.
The owner was perfectly correct. Happy he did what he did. Hopefully she GROWS UP! GO GET THE OWNER. You did the rifgt thing. BRAVO !!!
@Nusaybah Ali It's not our job to match or escalate liars. He should have had her dial the bosses number and got it over with from the beginning, not coddle the liar. How was he any better than her by duping her lying? HE WASN'T!!
@@RebeccaMcCagueSipe he didn't lie tho
@@RebeccaMcCagueSipe sounds like the karens
@@andrew-xr1de IKR IT WAS SO SATISFYING WHEN HE SAID HE WAS A OWNER
My father was the janitor at a county seat court house. From the highest ranking judge to the head of the police force all of them paid a great deal of respect to him...
He was the man that locked and unlocked the court house, made sure all the restroom were clean and ready, made sure the hallways etc, where clean and dry and useable. Without the janitor the place would have been a "shit hole" in two weeks and they, the higher ups, knew that and seemed to appreciate his hard work taking care of "their work house"! Also he had a key to every lock there and everyone knew that also. The man with the largest key ring is the most important person in the building.
I met a janitor who was working in a restaurant, he was paid more than the other staff and the owner never knew, because every day they would all tip him $10
This isn't were you post it
The restaurant owner is a LEGEND!!!! That was beautifully handled! 😍🙌
A very satisfying lesson for the entitled customers. A VIP price for VIP service.
This happened at a restaurant I worked for in the mid-1970s, Perry’s on Union Street in San Francisco. The owner,Perry Butler, was working the door as host. A very obnoxious group came in on a crowded Friday night and demanded to be seated immediately because as the very rude customer said “I am a close personal friend of Perry’s”
Perry didn’t bat an eye. He just said “Well sir, I am Perry Butler and you will never have a table in my restaurant. “
I worked the door one Friday night when another rude party came in. I was asked “how long will it be for a table of six?“ I replied “well let me see, we have one party of six waiting for the table, and the group that is at the table is just finishing the desert”(I was thinking out loud).
The customer interrupted me and said quite rudely “isn’t your job to know how long we will have to wait?”
The other people in the party thought this was hilarious and they all had a good laugh at my expense.
I replied, “well sir I can promise you it will be a long wait.“
They waited for about an hour and a half when they finally gave up and left. I seated another two parties at that table before them.
Why are people so stupid as to be rude to the very people they want to help them?
They think anyone who has to work is lesser than them
Because they aren't intelligent. Often rudeness and arrogance is trying to cover a lack of intelligence on a levels especially the social intelligence.
Love it!
This sounds fishy to me. You say you seated the party that was already waiting and then "seated another two parties at that table before them" in an hour and a half wait. I do not know any restaurant that can seat the same table three times in one and a half hours. We normally calculate 60-90 minutes per table seating.
@@JamesJBurt Sorry, I wasn't clear. We had three tables that could have seated that party.
I feel bad for anyone that had this happen to them. Being a waiter is already a tiring job and the fact that those Karens think that they can get away with that is disgusting.
But they didn't 😅😉
In Europe , being a waiter is a well--respected career
@@lawrenceiverson1924 especially in high-end restaurants, in my country (italy) it takes many years of academy and experience to get to that level
You have all the patient and consideration in the business field. I admire how you handle the situation.
Not boastful . I could say a lot of compliments of what you did!
Love it. Well done. You should have charged them for the table as well though.
the pure fear and horror in her face when he said. “I AM the manager.”
Not the manager, THE FUCKING OWNER *Dark souls music plays*
What? Where did u see that?
@@mlh4711 it’s an old meme. Just the feeling of power you get when a Karen wants to talk to the person in charge, but you ARE the person in charge

the best part is that her dad got mad at her thats so amazing
Fr also that the father wasn't mad at the owner was great to
Amazing? My father would literally KILL me if I spent that much money!
@@preppyxela yea but it's amazing she got what she deserved
Hardly. How'd she become such a narcissist? Those things typically don't just happen. Daddy facked up. My sister's would die of shame if they were caught doing 1 percent of this bs. Heck I would die of shame.
@@svenolsen8184 bro u ain't em, no offense but like a person can be a total piece of sh, even if they had a proper life
She needed that lesson, and her dad needed to learn who his daughter really is when not at home.
“ I, am the one and only owner” sounded like a movie line💀
My mom is a waiter so this made my heart happy
I worked as a bistro cook for a hotel and the owner was the best. He wanted to know the ends and out of the business, so he would actually come and work all day as a housekeeper. Scrubbing toilets, showers, everything. He was truly an "Average Joe". Sadly he passed from COVID and we still miss him.
Rest in peace
Oh no. He sounds like a fantastic boss. 😢 RIP.
@@moniquethong798 he was. He knew everyone by name and loved giving out hugs. When he was in the hospital I found out that both out youngest kids knew each other. 😁
A boss who will do the same work he tells his employees to do is a respectable boss indeed.
That first story, when the chick was asking about his life being worthless because he's a waiter...
As someone who's worked as an accommodation cleaner for just shy of a decade, I've found that the most degrading part of my job was how people treated me because of it.
Just because someone's job isn't exactly "nice" or "glamorous" doesn't mean they're worthless, because if those jobs weren't being done a lot more people would have problems with it.
fr
someone's gotta do it
Don't ever feel bad about your job. There are different jobs for different people. I am more of an academic and make a good salary but I hate cleaning. We have a cleaner and I love her. If it wasn't for her my house would be a mess. Thank you for what you do to make others stays better🤗
Without you, (demon spawn) people wouldnt have their (*place) clean. Imagine how untidy it would be without you lol
Yeah, you’d think people would have realized that during the pandemic. We all need people to do various kinds of work to make a community run smoothly. How is someone doing honest, necessary work a failure??
Every worker from the bottom to the top deserves courtesy and respect. If you disrespect a waiter, you disrespect everybody.
I love how the owner introduced himself to them
Honest work is nothing to be ashamed of. Denigrating honest work is the most shameful thing imaginable.
The fact that the restaurant owner does stuff around his restaurant just shows how awesome of a boss he is
Edit:MOM I GOT 900+ LIKES ON CZcams

Yes and he can also be there to see where all the money and the product is going.
Any business owner that actually wants to succeed does this.
@@SuwinTziIt’s shocking how many incompetent business owners there are. Many are just plain wasteful or just expect the business to magically make itself profitable.
@@andylugo7060 Thats why most businesses fail...
@@agunemon Yeah but the crazy part is how many completely incompetent businesses actively succeed.
Owning a restaurant is hard job. You did the right thing.Those girls got a wake-up call.
Yes, the SWEETEST, most PATIENT, most RATIONAL, most COMPASSIONATE JERK THAT EVER LIVED!! hahaha LOVE your story! Restaurant work is a totally thankless task. You have to have a calling to do this sort of thing
First story: The reason for recording VIP is because several celebs have been accused of sexual assault or rape. By having surveillance it saves the guests, employees and anyone interacting in those rooms! This also saves your butt if the guest gets too drunk and refuses to pay🤷♀️
Second story: I am a family of 7 so going to a wedding where it was required to buy those puppets is too expensive and that’s not including other expenses we may need if someone needs a pair of shoes, or dress because they have outgrown their other Sundays best. So this would be extremely fun to do but not logical for most! Now if they had puppeteers donate or allow them to borrow puppets and people could dress the puppets previously to the wedding starting it would be an awesome idea and people would love to be apart of it! But expecting ppl to pay that much money per person for a puppet they probably won’t ever use again is unrealistic. Maybe fine a puppet rental service or something! Idk hope they found a solution to their problem.
Third story: it would be fine if he was able to keep on target but just allowing dog sh!t to fly all over the place is cruel. By no means is it okay for her dog to crap in your yard okay but at least it’s in a pile! Maybe pick it up in doggy bags and return it to her and tell her she dropped it on your lawn! It’s more embarrassing then chucking it at her house. Plus if she knows you have a camera maybe she will stop doing it on your yard 🤷♀️
Yes bro
Story 2: Not only that but something stuck out in the post "You don't need your hands to dance", this is untrue, maybe the dances the OP's were excepting doesn't need your hands, but in general most types of dancing are full body, you move your hands, arms, body, legs, feet, and head to the rhythm. So having to do all that with puppets would result in a (potentially) very awkward wedding reception.
Yes, it's their wedding, but there is a limit to what you can and can't expect to request of guests, and I'd consider this request to be a little over the line.
@@SkyEcho751 It's simple. If you don't like it, don't go. They shouldn't have to think about other people's wants on their big day. The only thing that does urk me is making others pay for it bu it is their wedding if they want puppets let them have puppets. But it isn't out of line to want people to partake in something both the bride and groom are extremely passionate about. It's their wedding not anyone elses.
@@AmItheJerk
stop these Karen's however you feel is necessary teaching them a lesson and more videos please I give likes we need laughter it helps often .
Regarding story 3, I used to fling it back too. The poop spreading around the yard means they have to spend time picking it all up and will inevitably end up with it on their shoes, walked into their car and house. Their yard is going to eventually stink.
If they just let their dog poop in their own yard they can pick it up easily and in one go.
Their choice.
Daddy showing up shows that she was raised to assume she can get things she is not entitled to. They both learned something.
O_O
She probably had to ask him for help with the bill because he couldn't afford it, he thought they got scammed, checked, and left. I'm not sure what there is to criticise about the dad's behaviour.
@@heddevanheerde The dad is raising that entitles daughter. He bailed her out. She didn’t get that way when she walked in that door. It is obviously a pattern of entitlement.
@@energygirl9588 Once the owner was proven right he was angry at his daughter, not the store. You can want to help your kid without being a bad parent (obviously).
I'm not saying you're wrong, I don't know enough about the situation here either, but it feels like you're making a pretty big assumption about the dad.
@@energygirl9588 he said that the dad was shouting at her on the way out. She probably lied to him and told him she was overcharged or something, and instead of just believing her and calling the bank, he went to the restaurant and asked what happened.
I love how her father saw her behaviour and was disgusted, I definitely was not the jerk.everyone who works whatever job should be respected and shown respect and be thankful to them, but then again I was brought up that way
You did an amazing job at keeping your cool. I hope she learned an important lesson. Good job!
Story 1: He is not a jerk and recording especially at the VIP table was a smart idea. Story 2: Yes he is a jerk and that would be way too expensive for all the guests to purchase a muppet for $150 to $500 a person. Story 3: He is not a jerk and hopefully taught the OP Karen a lesson.
I can relate with the poop golfer.
My roomie was going out of town for a week & one or both of his dogs pooped in the hallway to the backyard (where i let my two dogs go do their doggy duty) the night before he was leaving. I heard him let his two dogs out the morning that he left so he would have walked right over it (meaning that he KNEW it was there) & it was STILL there when he had left (meaning that he EXPECTED me to clean up after his dogs mess for him) not wanting to put up with dog shit in the hallway all week i did remove it from the hallway...... I threw it right next to his bed in his bedroom to wait for him to return from his vacation.
Story#1 Bravo to the OP!! The group of AH's were superficial space cadets and deserved what they got.
Story#2 I don't think you're a jerk, maybe just inconsiderate. Imo, asking people who don't normally puppeteer to do so at such a highly stressful event isn't cool(Think of a skydiving wedding). That sounds like torture AND highly expensive torture for something you'll only use once.
Maybe let all your fellow puppeteers handle the Muppets and let everyone else just enjoy it.
Going to something where I'd be performing something I'd never done before at a great financial burden sounds like an anxiety-ridden nightmare.
However, if I went to a wedding where there were professional puppeteers (sort of like the wedding of Kermit and Miss Piggy) doing all the entertaining you definitely wouldn't have to worry about not having enough pictures!! This would be so much fun!!
I would be immensely amused to dance and sing karaoke with a flippin Muppet!! HECK, YEAH!! 🎉 😊🎉
Oh, and Story #3? You are NOT THE A-HOLE!! She got caught, and you paid her back.
He is a jerk for making everyone do this weird puppet shit, but money is not the issue here. He said in lieu of gifts, and most people would gift at least $150, if not more, in presents or cash for a newly wed couple.
I work here and all if the the stuff was 4.232.23$
My god, as a kitchen worker for 14 years my hat goes off to you sir. That is absolutely fantastic and anyone in the industry would agree that that is a perfect outcome. And good looking out for the working man.
The owner is a woman the one that waited on them.
I remember those days . When I was in law school, struggling financially there was this crazy woman who would come by my restaurant with attitude and pure hate very disrespectful. My job A Busser just that back then I heard it all. I saw her again 10 yrs later with her brother in court of all places begging the judge to have compassion for her unstable brother. Wow, I still cant believe it its been 40 yrs.
In response to the second story, i actually kinda like the idea given the history between the OP and their fiancé and find it wholesome, not into puppets myself but i do appreciate them reminding themselves of how they met and wanting to share it with the world, along with how they handled the food, it’s your wedding, you and your significant other should be allowed to decide the theme, and i love that they made the theme based around how they met, and honestly i do hope Hatboy and Daisy should stick together, it sounds quite wholesome and like a long lasting relationship
Lol 😂 I once had a Karen at our call center and she said she was a VIP and according to the store manager, she was indeed a VIP, but had a history of harassing employees to get them fired and boasted that she enjoys destroying peoples lives. She was banned from the store 😂
That was a perfect life lesson, and the best was her father found out what a liar his daughter really is.
I suspect that it just confirmed what he already suspected about his daughter.
In all likely hood she learned it from him.
I'm glad the dad's a good man
@@SelynaWolf no 💀
@@SelynaWolf if she did learn it from him he wouldn’t have been as fucking PISSED as the op said in the story
Bravo and well done. As a food service worker I feel you did the rest of us justice. You are not the jerk or the AH.
Not only were you not the jerk, you were absolutely awesome!!!!
the first story made my day. he is not the jerk as she tried to scam him out of lots of money and he was kind enough to even let them into a vip table and have 3 free rounds of drinks. the dad getting mad at his daughter was the cherry on top
I hope 🤞 he *carded the lot of them 2 🐝 4 he served them, any drinks!!!? They deserved Everything they got!!!!

@@gracehall9669he definitely cut her off. 🚫💵
Got what they wanted, but at what cost? He immediately negs them 😂😂
@@shadowknight1121 Entitled Girl: *_🎶You didn’t have to cut me off-🎶_* 😭😭
For the puppet story, I definitely agree about the monetary cost. OP says in the story that he and his wife are doing shows with professional made puppets, so I feel like they should be providing puppets for guests to borrow since they already have them. They could even get their puppeteer friends to contribute. And just in case someone decides to be a butthole about it, they can have the guests sign waivers that if anything happens to the puppet, they would have to pay to fix/replace it.
🎉
Exactly
My thought was 2 weddings but I like your idea too.
I can completely understand why people wouldn't want to attend that wedding, puppets might be an important part of their lives and they of course deserve to have the wedding they want but asking people to attend your wedding via using a puppet strapped to your chest is a bit of a big ask.
What a stupid wedding theme. I wouldn’t attend.
Story 2 : it IS ridiculous! They ARE the jerks.
We've had dogs for 43 years. We've always picked up their excrement. And we always brought 2 small bags on their walks.
They are entitled to have the wedding they want, but they shouldn't expect guests to want to attend if they are required to spend a ton of money on specific puppets at specific shops. In my opinion, if they want more people to attend, they should make it optional. Not everyone wants to buy or can afford a minimum of $150 per puppet. Personally, if it was required, I wouldn't go.
Asked,asked is optional
Well yes, but weddings gifts usually are in the hundreds and the puppets are supposed to be in lieu of presents.
To be fair, first, the children would probably love the event, and second, the guests could make their own puppets, and I’m pretty sure the distributor is just a suggestion, they may be able to get one from a different place.
@@marckempe2143 If they were flexible and have this be optional, more people would attend. However, they were VERY specific that the puppets had to be bought at specific stores and the puppets they are requiring people to get are on an "approved" list which the price range must be a minimum of $150 a puppet. From the post, it sounds like these requirements are NOT negotiable.
@@CidVeldoril Even though it's in lieu of gifts, many people can't even afford to spend $50. I know many people who are on fixed income or have low paying jobs or a family to support who absolutely can't afford this. This especially pertains older adults, those with disabilities receiving assistance, single parents, etc. Yes, couples can require their guests to spend a specific amount on gifts or in this case, specific puppets, but they should not get upset if people can't afford that and/or choose not to go. Hopefully they won't try to make people feel guilty if they don't go, but I didn't get that impression that they would.
As someone who has worked in high end Michelin starred restaurants for over 20 years, this scene is too familiar. I think you were 💯 right. The audacity, arrogance, and self entitled bratty behavior is never tolerated.
the couple were completely unreasonable about their wedding requirement. I bet, nobody attended their wedding and not even their family members did.
I actually like that this guy actually reads the stories, instead of using tts.
Respect for that.
The V.I.P. table story is crazy and the homemade poopflinger was amazing
I would say you are kinda the jerk cause you are basically taking money from a drunk person but over all I would’ve done the same thing
@@your_name633 not really as I have been made a joke for being a janitor and I know how to piss someone of I was called worthless and yet as a janitor I made more than most people in my workplace as I was the only janitor I know that for a fact that if he didn’t do it somehow it would happen later
Yo
yep you aint the jerk
@@your_name633 It was their choice to get drunk. They are in their twenties and should know shit better
Oh my god…I may have witnessed these Karen’s at a different restaurant. It’s barely even a possibility, but I saw a group of women, 4 of them in their early twenties, the last in her mid twenties. She came in and claimed to know the owner, berated the staff into giving her a table, and then got screwed over when the owner of the restaurant stood up from his chair where he was eating with his family and began to yell at her to get out and stop berating his niece (the girl she was screaming at was his niece, and she didn’t even work there. The poor girl was about 14 and crying when she finally got out of the situation). I even had to interact with them. I went to the restroom at one point, and midway through the doorknob rattled and I heard loud knocking. I yelled out that it was occupied (it was a one toilet bathroom, no stalls) and began to hurry to be finished. More rattling. I yelled out that it was occupied and again, and this time I heard loud drunken giggles and more banging on the door. It was non-stop. Once I finished, I went over and kicked the door from my end after more loud knocks. It was starting to hurt my head. Once I got out, the girls stared at me and the oldest Karen began to berate me for taking so long. I politely stated that it was rude to try to force your way into an occupied restroom, and that she should have learned basic manners from kindergarten. Best day of my fucking life lol
Jesus Christ, that's such a coincience. She is still trying to do this
I would have pepper sprayed them on the grounds that they were trying to force themselves into my occupied bathroom.
Damn
I would have plugged my ears and sat there.
For the puppet thing, I think if you wanna have the wedding party put on a puppet show for the wedding, that’d be reasonable. But to require all the guests to do it too? Nah. That’s just unfair to them. Not only for the financial reason. Because what if they are just super uncomfortable with the idea? What if many people are? Then their only choice is to be dragged out of their comfort zone, or not go to their friend’s wedding. Deal with dragging around a puppet all damn night, and not be able to enjoy the wedding, or not show up to the wedding of someone they may care a lot about.
Out of the hundreds of AITJ videos, this story is my favourite :D
First story itself is truly 'paying it forward' every single day without realizing it. Imagine the gut-ripping, painful feeling Karens get when watching this video, not having a clue which restaurant this could possibly be.
Karens don't need to fear a nasty reaction to this situation. All they have to do is treat everyone they engage during the day with respect. I can't remember a time when I wasn't treated well in restaurant ... also, keep in mind that in some cases the result could be a breathtaking bill, or in others ... well lets say that you don't want to piss off someone that is handling your food out of sight.
“And I had that thought, that only blackout drunks and Steve Urkel (and Karens) can have…”
*Did* *I* *do* *that?*
(Edited to fix emphasis)
the first one was easily the most satisfying story i've seen in a while, definitely NOT the jerk here, that group of karens definitely deserved it imo
The 1st story is definitely my favorite story not just in this video but my favorite Am I the Jerk story ever
This is my favourite am I the jerk because of how the op in the 1st story handled it
The first story owner sounds like a good boss. Willing to do any job that needs doing.
👍
Story 1: Absolutely he was not the jerk. Also considering that he has celebrities eating in his restaurant that may be an added layer of protection for them.
You were NOT the jerk! Well done 👍
Absolutely "NOT" a jerk. I wish more individuals were able to put such insignificant people in their place.
Karen and friends disrespected RESTAURANT owner.
Restaurant owner: "Revenge is a DISH BEST SERVED COLD!"
Well done sir. Well done!
Great job. As a fellow Canadian, never take our kindness as a sign of weakness.
I like that
Me too brilliantly put
thats my motto too , i have lost alot of money by being too kind! and people did regard it as weakness
You are not a jerk, you did a good job.
Man! Starting today, I'll be worshipping you as the best teacher ever. 😂
I love how the first guy did this fattening them up on booze like a pig before sending them to the figurative slaughter, I love it, it’s so savage😂 7:08 and there we go there’s the slaughter right there
Lol 😂
Story 2: Everyone's talking about the cost, but as a socially awkward introvert, i'm personally more concerned about having to interact with the puppets. It'd be fine if it's just "wear this on your hand for the whole event", but with lines like "the puppets are guests too", i can't tell if i'd be expected to act the part as well. I can barely manage normal social interactions; this would be too much.
The whole thing is absurd and ridiculous and expensive! It's stupid!
I like puppets, but this is just... too much! D: (-.-#)
Weirdo.
The cost is the only hitch to me. A place where I can socially interact via a puppet actually sounds easier than using myself. Along the same lines as wearing a mask or sunglasses it feels like the anxiety would dissipate. Plus it wouldn't be weird if everyone else was doing it too.
@@innersight6070 have a drink!
No you are not a jerk! Far from it! Anyone that treats his family business with such attention and love is never a jerk! He is a wonderful entrepreneur! Good luck from here forward!
Owner: “The Karen was telling the baby Karen’s “
😂😂😂😂😂😂
They wanted VIP, you gave them VIP and they got a VIP bill, not a jerk all but a very composed restaurant owner who gave them what they asked for and they probably learned a very important lesson that night. You should have given her your number and let her call you.
For story 1 I disagree, sometimes rich people pull things and have problems or claim certain things, so having a record of what is said there is important since this is only for the vip table. Also you’re recorded on camera in restaurants anyway for security.
EXACTLY a lot of high end restaurants do it ESPECIALLY in places like L.A
I always thought surveillance without audio didn’t make a lot of sense. People don’t watch surveillance tapes until something happens and actions can seem out of context by video only. Like if someone is actively threatening you personally (not just empty threat like imma fuck you up) and actually scaring you and you run away or hit them, it would seem as if you were the guilty one. Like what’s the point of only having half the story?
I believe restaurants should have cameras inside regardless if they’re high end or not. To help ensure they can confirm anything that happens and not get sued
@@Mugman896 oh yes definitely i’m jus saying for the fact the guy said he wouldn’t eat at a restaurant that records audio
I just want a sign that says so honestly
I'm 68yo and have been in similar situations so my belief is you handled this with great patience and maturity. How dare SHE drag Dad in like a mafia princess!
Well, I say no to the wedding requirement of the puppets.
Restaurant owner isn't a jerk, he's a godamn legend.
A puppet wedding sounds amazing to me 🤩 🎭
He is absolutely not a jerk! The rude girls got exactly what they deserved!
Story 2: Honestly I believe that it is there wedding and there choice however I feel forcing your guests to wear puppets could be a bit weird and uncomfortable for some people and I get not wanting to do it
It’s also VERY expensive for a purchase that you’ll use once most probably
My genuine response would be "Oh... congratulation, have fun at your wedding". I'm against everything, wearing those thing all the time and buying those expensive puppet I might don't like and likely never use again
I have to agree. If they would have made it an option, instead of a requirement, it would have been better, because then if the people do not feel comfortable with the idea or could not afford it, they could still come and be there for them.
Forcing them to buy puppets? Yes they the jerks. If they had given them the puppets then not problems
The upside is that they aren’t asking for gifts. The downside is that it’s expensive.
You are not a jerk! You did excellently. I would NEVER NEVER NEVER want to sit at the VIP table because I know that the prices sitting there are astronomically high. And it was very excellent of you to have a CCTV to record the entire incident. great, that you taught her majesty Queen Bee Karen a lesson she will never forget.
One should always treat other people how one wants to be treated him-/herself. 👍
I waited tables ALL MY LIFE! I spent 20 years in the same restaurant. 25 yrs I spent waiting and management in other places. I was used to ppl looking down on me and it never really bothered me because I knew I made more money per year than nearly all of them. He was NOT the jerk
Yeah I’d happily skip that wedding rather than play along with that weird request
Dude- you were way more patient than I would have been. YOU DID EVERYTHING PERFECTLY! Thank you! These type women MUST be put in there place and hopefully embarrassed her bad. Love this
Indeed. Anyone acting like this should be called out. Be it man, woman or child. Well, okay. We often expect that kind of entitled tantrum from young children, but even then, my daddy would have taken me outside right then and there and given my little butt a paddling.
@@scarletrose5908 agreed so hard there
Oh my gosh! I had a janitor back in elementary school named Mr. Rob. And, he was the nicest thing! He would make everyone laugh! And somehow everyone liked him and was his friend. Even the shy/ quiet kids. He would participate in all the fun things and put a smile on almost everyone's face! He was my janitor throughout almost all of elementary school. 6th grade. In 6th grade, when I came back to school, it was a sad moment. No one wanted Mr. Rob to leave, but we all missed him, and we were fine with it because when someone retires, they retire.
Now, I never disrespect janitors. Especially if they are like Mr. Rob. The kind light that is shown on all of us.
Dam mr rob is a W janitor
@@PrakashJamaica umm, I don't know what that means..
@@MavisLinnet w means a legend
@@PrakashJamaica oh, now I feel even more dumb, but thanks
@@MavisLinnet ur welcome
Having worked back of house over ten years during my college years, I've met many very talented and awesome people at the many restaurants on my resume. I even met one dish washer who was a talented author. He did the work because it didn't require much thought and allowed him to focus his mind on writing.
You should see the Karen that confronted a street preacher, she said, “I’m a professor and I make more money than you.” Then she tries to steal his microphone and was promptly arrested. 😂😂❤😂😂
I feel like that owner taught her a valuable lesson and that was worth more than anything he earned that night. He now has an amazing story and a victory that is priceless 🎉
i really doubt that the owner taught that worthless POS anything, as those kind of people can't see through illousionary greatness
The first story gives me an inspiration. If I owned a restaurant, I'd have a Karen signal in the pickup area. If I had a rather disruptive Karen making other patrons uncomfortable and I have a plan to put her in her place, I'd first activate the signal. That signal tells the wait staff they should quietly apologise to their tables, comp them 10% for their troubles, and to enjoy the show that's about to happen.
Second story, yeah they are jerks. I thought it was a fantastic idea up until they expected the guests to buy the puppets. That sort of special request is on the bride and groom to provide. Maybe see if they can rent some?
Third story, that's a genius chaotic good solution! The only down side is the poop does break down over time. Unless he's returning it in a way that is obvious to her, she may never see it to know she's been caught. One accidentally landed on the roof, so maybe one will eventually "accidentally" land on her car windshield?

Second story, i don't think they were expecting the guests to accept. I mean... if you don't wanna go to the wedding, then don't go.
Being a waiter/waitress/store clerk is a very important job for any company that has a restaurant/gas station
You’re a leader in the fight against elites. Entitled people have always needed to be disciplined.
I LOVE how well the Owner of the restaurant handed Queen Karen and her little minions their heads on the platter they had to pay for !
PRICELESS ❤
Restaurant owner did a brilliant job. Would have loved to have seen the look on the father's face after viewing the vid of his "spoilt brat" daughter. Priceless 👍😊👏👏👏
