It's offensive to those whose name happens to be Karen.

We know two Karens. One is a veterinary technician, the other a retired high school teacher. They are two of the nicest people.
Please stop using that term.

Don't know why it was taking down last night.

Isn't she supposed to identify herself as the gender she was assigned to when she was born? Just asking.

I watched the whole video. The woman seems to have mental health issues. She thinks Starbucks is "a public place" that is required by law to call out customers' names.

The barista brought her drink to her, probably because there were hardly any other customers and the customer had her emotional support dog with her. The young barista seems kind, thoughtful, and completely shocked by her customer's response.

I guarantee this woman has had meltdowns over her dog being allowed in private "public spaces" before too.

I feel sorry for the dog.

Everything is a controversy. People simply trying to do their job have to take a side. Every move is designed to separate us or make us intolerant of each other.

I would like to live in a world where you have your beliefs and attitudes and I have mine. You don't have to impose your beliefs on me and I won't impose mine on yours. We can be civil and go our own way doing the simple things of life so long as we are not infringing on each other's rights.

It shouldn't be this hard. Or maybe we shouldn't hear about these petty conflicts these shit-stirrers cause.

Some of the members insisted on having the cashiers call out their orders by their pseudonyms. The restaurant staff grew tired of calling out orders for “Mr. Wicked,” “God of Doom,” “Evil Overlord,” and other such titles.

And no, this isn’t a made-up story. It actually happened.

She also says demanding they shout out Charlie Kirk’s isn’t political, it’s about free speech. She is completely ignorant about businesses’ rights, which can impinge on her free speech all they want because they aren’t a government entity. Which is also why they aren’t a public space. Seriously, the stooopid hurts.
