I feel bad that people like this are reinforcing the stereotype about the name Karen.

When I worked retail I had a manager called Karen and she's pretty good, both as a person and as a manager. Some sort of karmic balance?

She constantly asks to see the manager so she can get them baked

I hope anytime someone asked for the manager you said, "I'll go get the manager, Karen."
