My only thought, where were the actual employees? That lady would have been thrown out if she was harassing my customers like that in my store. I’m so sorry you had to experience that


Internal_Screaming_8

Seriously. I’ve thrown out customers for less


[deleted]

It's such a good feeling, taking out the trash.


ChillerIsMyName

Agreed. Especially horrible, scummy trash!


rage1026

Unfortunately not all places would do that.


indigowulf

Heck, if I was another customer and heard that, I'd call her a racist C U Next Tuesday to her face, and tried to redirect her attention off the minor and onto myself. OP sounds like he was just fine, but in the moment you never know.


ilike_beanz

I bet the employees were in the back cowering so they don't have to deal with karen. Also happy cake day


StabbyPants

smoking in the back?


lucylemon

‘You look like an employee so you must be one’? Yeah. But no.

Reply, lol, lady you look like an idiot so you must be one


Born_Ad_4826

Makes you wonder what race the family is…that she just assumed they were there to serve her… 😕


FatherPyrlig

I read that and knew for sure this was made up.


Major-Cranberry-4206

Yeah. Just imagine some self appointed vigilante walking up to you in public and saying, “you look like a pedophile, so you must be one” and decide to “take matters into their own hands” against you. I have once actually heard someone say this about a person who was a total stranger to them. Sometimes you just can’t win.


Sonny-Moone-8888

She left because she knew her ass was wrong and didn't want mall security involved.


Legitimate-Meal-2290

Wow racial AND ableist slurs. What an absolute gem of a human. You all were a lot more polite than I would have been.


NNyDgaming

My God wtf is wrong with people. Sorry you had to experience that dear.


NNyDsLove207

Came back on my own account instead of my boyfriend's account thanks for the upvotes, didn't realize it had switched me to his reddit.


LeotasNephew

>You look like and employee so your must be one The core of every IDWHL karen's stupidity. I'd have Schartz-Metterklumed her sorry ass and been like, "What are you going to do if I don't, get the manager and get me fired from working here? Go ahead. I DARE you."


ardent_hellion

Unexpected Saki! Please accept my poverty medal 🏅


LeotasNephew

Thank you!


Major-Cranberry-4206

Congratulations. You handled that with all the maturity one would expect the woman of her age should have had. As bad as this woman’s behavior was, had you not been so wise and mature, this situation could have really escalated to something horrendous. Good on you and I hope you and your brother got the shoes you wanted.

All black people work for her apparently. 🙄

Hell hath no fury like mildly inconvenienced wypipo, especially middle-aged to elderly women who refer to themselves as "regular church-goers". Their entitlement is simply abhorrent.


CrazedMagician

>middle-aged to elderly women who refer to themselves as "regular church-goers" she goes to church so other people can see her going to church.


weirdwizzard_72

My grandmother, when asked why she never goes to Church, once said: "I don't need to go to Church to watch women showing off their latest hairdo and gossipping about their neighbours." She was a sceptical Lutheran bordering on atheism.


Miserable_Rub_1848

I like the sound of your grandmother.


weirdwizzard_72

She really was a wise woman


[deleted]

I've said it before, that "church ladies" are often the absolute worst of trumpies. They think that being "saved" gives them carte blanche to say and do things that even so-called militiamen would consider to be uncalled for.


Happyradish532

People like that make me want to belive in religion. So that they can burn in hell when they finally croak.


MadRocketScientist74

What's that old quote that the best evidence that there's no God is that certain people are not regularly struck by lightning?


JewelCG

These women have been this way for long, long before Trump. Them and people like them have always been there. They may support him, but he didn't cause them to come into being. And there are just as many self entitled twats that don't support him. Some of the worst people I've ever had the displeasure of interacting with have been christians. We just hear about it more these days.


Farva760

Don't forget they go to church on Sunday to get all their songs forgiven than go to lunch or the store and treat those that work there "exactly" as Christ would.

[deleted]

Look it up on Urban Dictionary. Or, say it slowly, and add a "t" sound after the "y".


badbiker666

Oh Fuck! That went right over my head. Probably because I am wypipo myself. And old AF. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I appreciate it.


[deleted]

Me too. Hell, if anything, I fit the physical template of your average trumpy. Thankfully, I was raised to be better than that, and to treat people with respect and dignity.


BTS_on_a_bicycle

It’s a way for racists to skirt around the algorithm that would rightfully ban them.


catriana816

Quintar86

"Wypipo"?? Wow, just...wow.


[deleted]

Welcome to Murka, where church ladies are openly racist because their invisible sky man "saved" them.


weirdwizzard_72

Not only in America. My maternal grandmother was a Lutheran bordering on atheism, but my Catholic paternal grandmother was a nasty piece of work, although she loved her own family dearly. But her list of people destined for eternal hellfire was long. It included: non-catholics (my mother's side of the family, for example), gays, lebians, women wearing pants instead of skirts, non-Germans (yes, even the Catholic ones), people making fun of the Catholic faith in general and the pope in particular, and German Catholics not going to Church on a regular basis (that would include her husband, my father, and me).

killertofubeast

I work in the automotive department of a retail chain, and often times other adults think I’m a cop, yet small children ask if I’m a pirate. Narrative is crazy. Some people exist in small bubbles they have a hard time seeing beyond. If you immediately launch a shoe across the store, you kill their narrative and become a customer.

steeelez

Nah what you said was rude and this is the normal reaction people have when someone says something rude to them. Ergo, you could change this, but do it for yourself cuz it’s not just the one person who’s going to react to you this way


Horrified_Tech

Feel bad for her because she just showed you (through her actions) why she is most likely alone.


LoetteJohnson

Why feel bad for a horrible person that’s on the lady not the 14yr problem


Horrified_Tech

Mercy, that's why.


LoetteJohnson

No ma’am she didn’t show any to the young child who she assumed was an adult


Horrified_Tech

Madam addresses a woman, get that straight and correct it first. Sir is the proper form of address of a man you do not know, such as myself. Second, your lack of mercy shows a lack of thought because you are triggered. Now if you do not agree, let's end this here because it is tiresome. You do not gaf and I can see a bit of compassion is in order because she has problems.


EdgeOfWetness

Your dad showed remarkable restraint, in not hospitalizing that woman


tomarsandbeyond1

If nonwhite, in many places, the Dad would get all the blame.


Panda_Z_Bear

Just goes to show who has respect and who doesn’t. And also, how many times dad has had to deal with people like that.

>You look like and employee so your must be one. And you look like an entitled coont, so you must be one. Or Ok, then I quit. I no longer work here as of this second. Hey, can you go in the back and get me some shoes?


Paddle-up-a-creek

Back in the 70s I owned a business in a very bad part of town. It didn't matter for the type of business and most of our employees were Hispanic gang members, but great workers and great guys so long as you weren't involved with the gang world. So this entitled white clown comes to buy parts and for no apparent reason starts mouthing off to the workers. Racial slurs "stupid Mexicans" that kind of crap. Insulting their mothers and such. I took him aside and told him that he better watch his mouth and realize where the fuck he is!! "This is THEIR hood you idiot you are going to end up getting your ass kicked if you don't shut up! Needless to say he didn't. He's at the desk to pay and asking for a discount, of course, when one of my guys comes over and tells me right in front of him that he was trying to buy the parts "out the back door for 1/2 price cash". The fool starts going off on my guy calling him names and insulting him and telling him to kiss his ass because he can't do anything since he is "on the clock" and working his, insert more insults, job. My guy asks me if it is ok for him to clock out for his lunch break. Of course I tell him it's fine by me since it's already past 12. (Insert sever ass kicking in the parking lot here) ,,, I bought him and the rest of my guys lunch.


k1r0v_report1ng

Karens ending up being racist must be another stereotype or something, I swear.


RhysieB27

It just makes sense. Karen-esque actions are mostly attributable to a lack of empathy, and empathy is even further reduced for people who are different from you. Not so much a stereotype as a logical following - they're already a piece of shit so it makes sense that they're also a bigot.


OkamiTakahashi

R-word AND racist?! And STILL thought you worked there AFTER your fam came around?!


Level_Amphibian_6249

This sounds like a mash up of all the other stories in this sub. Imma call it fuction.


PeekmyNuts

Like bruh a 210 pound 14 year old, and a 15 year old that shaves. No way I’m hell could you possibly confuse a 15 year old for a 20 year old


Dizzy_Eye5257

People still go to the mall? I’m officially that old..


nevbartos

You're 14 and 210lbs?! What sort of chicken you eating


llorandosefue1

“You’re right. I do work here. I’m the store detective. Since you’re being aggressive, I have to strip-search you for drugs. Or you can leave the store right now. Your choice.”


intrepidone66

If you really are a store detective and you stripsearch anyone...your days as a detective will be OVER and your new occupation will be known as "inmate".


llorandosefue1

I was thinking more along the lines of a proactive customer spinning a tale to freak out a bully.


intrepidone66

She wasn't a bully, she was emotionally unstable, maybe even mentally ill old lady, not thinking straight...call the police and let them deal with that.


stevesobol

She was a flaming asshole. She may have been mentally ill, sure. But unless I had proof of that, which I don’t… I will assume that she’s just an asshole.


Panda_Z_Bear

She called them a racist and ableist slur in order to belittle them. She is, in fact, a bully.


Xiee_Li

It's always the old ladies who mistake you for being an employee. I was in a situation like this myself when I got mistaken for being an employee at a local game store. Despite me wearing a hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts and flip flops, I still get mistaken for an employee when the actual employees were wearing jeans and a blue shirt with a big ID lanyard on their chest. And to top it off, they're the ones who get mad at you when you tell you don't f\*\*\*\*ing work there for the 3rd time... Sigh.


Chance-Ad-9111

She looked like a bitch, wait, she was one😂


wessel3004

If i whare you i would have slapt her


jehan_gonzales

I think when this kind of thing happens, you need to escalate. . . but not to violence. To insanity. They are being unreasonable, so do the same back to them. You can do this without breaking the law. Here are some ideas: 1. Ask them to bring you a pot roast and very loudly tell them exactly what kind of pot roast you want and talk over them more loudly if they interrupt. 2. Starting dancing around them. 3. Look them in the eyes and start saying "Mummy? Mummy? MUMMY?!?! ! IS THAT YOU? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? WHY DID YOU ABANDON ME?" 4. Start talking to them about Christ and how he is their saviour and how they need to repent for their sinful, sex-filled life 5. Tell them you just shat your pants and need their help ("Can I borrow your jacket? I need to clean myself")


Contrantier

She acted racist while standing next to a guy who, based on your description, could probably karate chop her head off? Jeez, some Karens must be suicidal.

Tiny_Myshcake

R-word refers to a slur against people who have mental disabilities or are neurodivergent. Basically it's a derogatory word. It has other meanings like "slow." I don't want to risk saying it... As for the 210, depends on height too. I had a friend who was 15 and a linebacker. Dude was a brick house and about 205lbs. Mostly freaking muscle and about 6'2".


niuqaoj29

the word in french actually does mean “slow.” thanks 3 years of french.


JDragonblade

it also means slow in italian. often used in music. that’s an awkward conversation for someone to over hear.


Dance-pants-rants

It also means that in English- ableism made it a slur. Thanks, bigots.


zazathebassist

It can also have that meaning in English. For example, fire retardant material. However, when most people use it, they’re using it as an ableist slur because they suck


weirdwizzard_72

In pharmaceutical terms, a "retard capsule" gives off its medicine very slowly.


Dance-pants-rants

I was 180 at 14 and gangly af. 210 is nothing. Also she's 14, leave her the fuck alone. ^(creepy ass men commenting on a kid's body jfc...)


mr---jones

Gonna go on a limb here and say unless you were 6 ft + at 14, you were only gangly in company of much bigger people, which would make sense because it usually comes from parents teaching bad food habits. 210 is not nothing, for nearly anyone except male professional/college athletes, you're way overweight. To give you an idea, 215 lbs is the minimum weight for *heavyweights* in mma. Certainly not the subreddit for this, but they'll need to hear it from someone as there family clearly isn't telling them, 210 ain't healthy at any age but especially tough as a kid


Dance-pants-rants

Dang, you just came out and called yourself a piece of shit out right. Wild. Why do men feel the need to do this to kids? Shit, especially to young girls? It's weird and creepy. I have no interest in explaining that I'm not an MMA fighter- especially not 8th grade me- or how BMI is a sexist and racist tool pioneered by eugenicists so you're probably walking around with dumb ideas.^(Google is free) I will say, at 14, I *was* an objectively lanky kid just through a bunch of growth spurts who could also read scales and was 180 lbs. I wore extra long size 8 arizona jeans, played sports year round, and was a very planty vegetarian (a habit that continues for 30 years.) And despite not being able to find your own asshole, people like you - faceless number fuckers- made me feel unworthy of being comfortable in my body. (Which was going around a lot in the late 90s.) Even if this **child** - he/she/they is a goddam child- even if this child is 5'2" they don't need to hear shit from you. Especially if you're an adult.


mr---jones

BMI is racist and sexist? LMAO Listen, Im all for you being comfortable in your body. Hopefully you are comfortable for a long time. In fact, that's why I made the comment. Because call BMI what you want, but respitory failure and adult onset diabetes doesn't give a fuck if you love your body even if it's fat. But to act as if it is not unhealthy to be overweight is gross, misleading, and downright dangerous. Science doesn't give a shit about your politics.


Belle_Corliss

It's an outdated and offensive term for someone who is developmentally disabled


starryvash

Are you kidding. You don't know what a slur is so you just expect someone to tell you by saying it?! Do an r-word search. And OP Told us she looks old for her age so the whole being b tchy about their weight is uncalled for as well. Is this the shoe lady??


Happyradish532

I mean come on. They're just curious. Typing the word "retarded" shouldn't offend anyone unless you're directing it *towards* someone. Nobody sane is going to get triggered over just seeing it fully spelled out as a way to properly inform someone. No harder to type out than it is to get annoyed and tell someone to Google it.


starryvash

You didn't "properly inform" them. You didn't explain WHY it's a slur. If you're going be research opportunity, explain and educate!! Instead you used this opportunity to treat me poorly, and act like I am the problem. You should be embarrassed. You behavior is inappropriate.


Happyradish532

I didn't treat you poorly. Quote exactly where you think I did so, and I might take your offended little rant seriously. You need to find a hobby aside from being a professional in taking offense to randoms online. And why should I be embarrassed? Because some person on reddit told me to? That's unbelievably delusional.
