In general I like Harris Teeter as a grocery store. But they suck when it comes to customer service. I've had security called on me over the intercom (when I was the only person in the aisle in question, so no misunderstanding on my part that security was being asked to watch me). A teenage employee had the rudeness to scold me when she felt I was not using the checkout register properly (whut). She literally got in my face to yell at me, a woman old enough to be her granny.
That was in the past. I had words with management over the above incidents. No other grocery store has ever exhibited that level of amazing rough treatment. Minor stuff - I never worry about it.

Yeah but if you are a white woman and complain about sh*t service you get called a “Karen.” Because we are apparently all supposed to be ok with the decline of manners.
You don’t make the rules about “manners” (which I suspect is simply code for maintaining your privilege). Don’t be so thinned skinned.
^^^ exhibit A about how Karen is actually misogynistic and racist. Because sometimes sh!t service is actually sh!t service, but this person doesn’t think you should be allowed to complain about it
You weren’t “allowed” to complain? Who stopped you. That’s weird.
Oh, right. You did complain and then someone, correctly, called out your Karen-esque behavior.
Nothing to see here.

John Oliver's most recent show was about Dollar General and Dollar Tree. They are the worst to work for. I have a lot of sympathy for them but if an employee had acted that way to me I would have walked out or demanded my money back right there.
I think the Post had an article about the shoplifting problem across the country and the data didn't support what the stores are saying except in certain areas. The big stores have training about this and demand their employees be non confrontational but a lot of the employees want to play cop and cross lines. There has been more violence in stores as customers get angry about how they are treated.

That term is racist.
Oh you’re soooo oppressed! Maybe some tears to go along with what you perceive as being a violation of how society should serve you???
DP. You keep trying to pretend this is about wanting to be treated like a princess. It’s absolutely not. It’s about pro-actively being rude or unhelpful to someone. It’s equally unacceptable for customers to be mean to service people.
If you think it’s ok to abuse middle-aged white women and they shouldn’t have any recourse, then you are indeed a racist and misogynist.
PLease give an example of racist abuse you’ve received in a customer service setting!
Racist: characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
Abuse: cruel and violent treatment of a person or animal.
Please stop deflecting. You’re too transparent.
We’re talking about whether a middle-aged white woman has any recourse against rude or abusive customer treatment (someone above said she was made to cry), or if she’s just a Karen because (checks notes) she’s a middle-aged white woman.
Tl;dr: you’re the racist and misogynist
In other words, 1) you don’t have an example; 2) you are still conflating rudeness with abuse; 3) you believe you are entitled a “recourse” if someone is rude or mean to you; 4) you are quite sensitive about the Karen label and 5) you’re calling a 40 year old white woman racist against white people.
Karen is an insult. It’s not a racist term. There’s a huge difference.
Oh, you’re the white “ally” who thinks Karen is just hunky dory (if you are who you say you are). I’ve watched others take on your ridiculousness. Now it’s my turn, yippee. I’m probably more lefty than you, but I won’t stand for racism or misogyny of any type.
You’re a racist and misogynist because:
- you just posted that middle-aged white women don’t deserve any recourse for bad customer service
- you just posted that middle-aged white women who dare to protest bad customer service deserve to be called by an epithet specific to them—Karen.
Are you out there telling poc or white men to just accept bad service? Didn’t think so.
Or let’s try another way. If a middle-aged black woman protests against bad service, would you be ok calling her a Latasha? I wouldn’t. See how that works?
Lol you’re ridiculous. Re read and count how many assumptions/fabrications you invented just to support your views. And keep bravely “daring to protest bad customer service.” May you find the justice you seek.

Oh look. A second poster (or the same one) who thinks that merely expecting common courtesy is “entitled”—if it’s a middle-aged white woman doing the expecting. And that she shouldn’t speak up because, again, she’s a middle-aged white woman.
GTFOH with your own racist, misogynistic self
Why are you bringing race or gender into this? No one else is. You just want to center on yourself.
No one is going to cater to your entitlement. Get used to it.
You brought race and gender into it with the Karen quip and/or continuing to call any white woman who expects even basic service "entitled" and expecting princess treatment.
Which as you know is a gross distortion of what's actually going on.
Oh... you don't think middle-aged women should challenge Karen OR bad service, do you? Honest question: Are you an incel?
I’m a NP. Shall I get the manager for you?
