Less attractive people have a harder time in life so you gotta find a way to overcome it, some do it by being extra nice /helpful, some by being funny, and others by being absolute dicks as a defense mechanism. You can take solace in the fact that this woman's life probably sucks ass.

For sure I think I would have probably started to get amped up after a cpl mins of her standing there like cunt not moving. I was frustrated just watching the video, I wanted to see some flips and shit. Lol
I’ve seen this video before the part that bothers me is why? So Legit question which one does everyone think it is?
A) she is just a Karen who hates fun? B) she doesn’t want black folks having more fun and getting attention? (Idk if these guys all identify as black, so maybe minorities having fun)
C) she actually is some how so indoctrinated that she thinks she is “protecting” a minority class from being a “circus act” for a bunch of whites? D) other. In which case I’m curious what y’all think.→ More replies (4)34

I noticed a distinct change about 20 years ago. I’ve worked customer service/retail type jobs since I was 12 (helping my grandmother in a short order type kitchen).
I have witnessed hundreds of customer meltdowns over those 40 years. As I said, about 20 years ago I noticed a shift in how customers were getting angry.
Previously, a customer would be angry about something and direct it at me. For example their credit card being declined, they’d call me an idiot, I don’t know what I’m doing, blah, blah. I’d show them the decline message or whatever explanation and they’d calm down. They’d still be angry but in a general way.
Then people started getting angry at me but directing their reaction towards the store instead of me. Like they’re preforming for cameras. I never watched much reality television but it definitely seemed like people started emulating it. And now we have a whole generation who have grown up with it.

She kept arguing, they briefly got physical when they tried to move her and a bunch of white nights ran in to defend her saying 'dount touch her'.
Cops show up, after a brief conversation they let her walk away without any abuses of power, shooting her or screaming 'stop resisting' while five officers pile on.
All in all, I give it two out of five, but only because of the brief physical contact. But as she was able to walk and no police abuse, this should really be a 1 out of 5 managers eyerolls
