Don't Be A Karen - Tumblr Posts
Just because someone is providing you a service doesn’t mean you need to accept whatever you’re given.
This whole “Don’t be a Karen thing” has gotten annoying, to the point where I’m overhearing people being shamed because they dared to ask for what they paid for and that’s “being a Karen.”
If your food is wrong and you ask politely for your correct order that is not being a Karen.
If you don’t like the color on your nails after your nail tech does one finger and you ask politely for a different one that is not being a Karen.
If you order something online and it’s damaged and you politely ask customer service for a refund that is not being a Karen.
If you hire a contractor and he did bad work so you ask him politely to fix it that’s not being a Karen.
Like what is it with people thinking that the only way to be a good customer is to just smile and accept anything? It’s not. If you paid for something then you deserve what you paid for, nothing more and nothing less.
If you demand more, you’re an entitled Karen. If you accept anything and everything less because “it’s rude” to ask for what you paid for then you’re a doormat Susan.
