Karen Calls 911 cuz I am a PREGNANT Cocktail Waitress… and 'THAT IS NOT ALLOWED' - Reddit Podcast

Karen calls 911 because I'm a pregnant cocktail waitress and that is not allowed I'm a cocktail waitress I'm 7 months pregnant no obviously I don't drink while pregnant or drink on the job ever a woman the Karen comes in with what I'm assuming was her husband and son and daughter and asks to be seated for for lunch we're not really a restaurant but you do have a small apps menu with sandwiches and wings and stuff I give them menus and and says but wait do you work here yep but you're pregnant you can't work here if you're pregnant I work here I don't drink here I say with a laugh trying to keep the mood light the woman looks over and says have you taken any prenatal courses do you really think that's responsible to have your unborn baby in here this is where I made an error I get defensive about anyone asserting that I'm a bad mother obviously so I said well you've brought your kids in here yes and what kind of example do you think you're setting for them I'm still collecting my thoughts at this point when they Grunt and wave me away I figure I can kiss my tip goodbye but hopefully that'll be the end of the discussion as a disclaimer all these quotes are my best approximation of my memory in the moment I see them flagging down the bartender after a few minutes and figure they're ready so I go over as well the Karen is asking to speak to a manager surprise now they haven't even got their drinks yet so nothing above my abilities could have really gone wrong I just ask if there's anything I can help them with and her husband Miss Mr Karen says really sternly no just a manager didn't you hear my wife the place is too small for a manager it's just servers and bartenders and two co-owners the one who's working is on the back on a phone call and will be annoyed if I go and bother her I realize they're probably still uncomfortable with my being pregnant so I say maybe Ella the only other server can help but Karen just gets up to physically look for the manager I admit defeat and go back to drag her off her call the owner tried not to let on how mad she was about being disrupted and goes over with a big smile to ask if there's anything she can do to help them Karen informs her as though it's urgent breaking news your server is pregnant the owner says she's aware and asks if they'd prefer a different server no no no she can't be a drink girl if she's pregnant that's endangering a child the owner says I assure you none of our employees drink on the clock especially not our pregnant ones if you'd prefer I can have Ella serve you instead Mr Karen comes in I don't want my kids seeing this maybe I'm missing something what don't you want your kids seeing a pregnant woman around all this alcohol I cut in I don't know what you're insinuating but I would never drink during pregnancy look honey you didn't take a health class in junior high with a drink right under you half the time alcohol vapor is absorbed into your blood through the air and then that blood go goes to the fetus and poisons it the owner and I exchange a look and realize we won't get anywhere with her the owner says so we can have Ella serve you or I'm afraid there isn't much we can do we're not leaving until she's placed on maternity leave or better yet fired we can't help you I'll call the police you're an accomplice to child endangerment there's no child endangerment to speak of sir please leave you may not think that a fetus is a child but I was taught to believe life begins at concep and I will stand up for all living things big and small because that's what my Lord and Savior wants me to do the entire time she's delivering this tearful speech she's looking around expecting others to I don't know join in with her applaud the owner says hey I don't need anyone to tell me what Jesus said if there was any actual child endangerment here I'd have acted to stop it but there isn't any I need to ask you to please leave I'm calling the police H you do that we just try to stop in their table as we all wait for the cops to arrive Karen keeps trying to give her sermon but there was a game on that people had come to watch and eventually everyone yelled at her until she piped down enter the cops awesome officers one and two yeah police we received a call is there a Mr Karen in here somewhere right here officers you said you were witnessing check's notebook child endangerment are the parties involved still in the bar Karen family points me out I pretend not to notice because I'm worried the officers will take them outside and I won't be able to watch any more fireworks the other one comes in so what exactly was going on that woman was drinking she's pregnant you can plainly see she's very pregnant before I can go over and tell them she's lying about my drinking the officers look at each other and then look back at the Karen family that's not illegal what look here I mean it's definitely not recommended but it isn't illegal now do you know the woman is she a friend of yours family she works here in a bar and she's pregnant I want to see the place's liquor license revoked so listen she isn't doing anything illegal what I can do is I will talk to her but we can't take any action beyond that is there anything else you observed that you'd like to report so the Second Officer comes over to me and takes me to a quiet spot while the first is getting their personal information and taking the rest of the statement Karen is crying again and I assume bemoaning being the last Bastion of good Christian Morality In This Bar also some officer to introduces himself and congratulates me on the pregnancy and says I probably overheard why they were called and starts to offer me some public resources for new mothers parenting classes among other things I didn't want to interrupt him so I was waiting for the right moment to interject with my plea of Innocence that's when patrons come over thinking I'm in trouble and start defending me we have plenty of regulars who know me and they wouldn't let this BS stand some even complained to the officers that the owner had asked the Karen party to leave and they continued to make a scene so both awesome officers go and talk to the owner who said she was just about to call them herself on account of the trespassing but Sirens outside are bad for business and she was hoping the Karens would eventually leave on their own the officers tell the Karen party they need to leave this is a public space I have every right to be here if I want no sir this is a private business and the business owners have asked you to leave it sounds like more than once but at least once since we've been here this is a Grace this is an affront to to to scripture and child safety and I understand you're upset ma'am let's talk about it outside officer 2 places a hand on Mr Karen and gives him a firm look this next part was said as Mr Karen walks out backwards so he can keep yelling at us but bumping into things every step of the way I'll be contacting the authorities about your liquor license bump I happen to be very close friends with the mayor crash and you two I want badge numbers don't think we're done here because we have't and even bang started so the officers took them out and as it was told to me by a regular who left around the same time walked the Kens to their car which was illegally parked in a handicap space for which they were ticketed they did make a complaint to the liquor Authority claiming among many other things that we served miners we can't prove it was them but we're sure it was them we were investigated but obviously came up okay my boss asked me to hold off sharing the story with anyone until the matter was settled but now now it is so I had to share I'm still laughing about it in short a family of Karens tried to tell me I couldn't work as a cocktail waitress because I'm prar we tried to tell them they were wrong they called 911 and they got a parking ticket wow the crazy was so strong here how have these people survived out in society for as long as they have and how many restaurants have they been banned from so many questions also notice how the religious Karen also have completely wild takes on scripture that are definitely not actually in the scripture show me Thou shalt not serve Margaritas while Prego and maybe I'll consider revoking this one criticism but also look at the statement she needs to be placed on maternity leave or better yet fired better yet yeah I'm sure the mother having no money when the baby's born will help their development immensely that's clearly the Karen's priority here frecking Nutters go and get banned from everywhere else and live in a cult far away from decent people please if you like am I the jerk you're probably going to love am I the genius check it out linked below also go to am I Thee jerk.com submit if you would like to submit your own stories unwilling to pay let them eat splooge cake so I'm a 17-year-old web dev who can make basic websites and stuff to earn money for video games the jobs are pretty easy for the pay I got picked up by some local bakery so that people could pre-order Cakes and Things online it took a few hours to puke out a functional back end and a day to make it look all pretty thanks bootstrap I had agreed to 700 rupees basically 10 bucks which is insanely cheap even for India but all I need is video game money so I'm fine with that when I'm done with the job they needed to purchase the domains and a server which I explicitly told them you pay me 10 bucks and use another 10 to buy a domain and five to rent service the total is 25 bucks they gave me 15 bucks so I could set their stuff up once the website was fully operational I asked for my money but apparently they didn't want to pay because if I wasn't hosting the server anyways why do I need compensation you know because apparently time has no value the thing is I could still access the server as I had the credentials for it so I went home logged in and made one tiny change the way the website works is that there's a customer page which shows you your orders and there's a page for the store owners to see orders payments among other things here's what I did I added a small inconspicuous may contain splooge warning in all product details in the page where it shows you order confirmations to the customer some options are changed to have splooge in them like splooge frosting the website went down in about a week and they're back to selling on Facebook I'm guessing someone complained about it or something yeah honestly the bakery deserved that if you're not willing to pay for the people who are making your advertising don't do advertising and if you're going to Short change them you deserve bad advertising obviously the narator had to change the clinical term for this particular bodily substance to splooge so if you weren't clear on what I meant this particular term is the most friendly identifiable one he could find for the male contribution in the two starting ingredients needed to make a baby so I hope that the customers enjoyed a week of high protein cakes and bread and weren't too disappointed when that ingredient was removed from the advertising better luck elsewhere Brin consumers my friends entitled parent thinks I made up my severe allergy and then shames me for throwing up this happened when I was about 8 years old and my parents only recently reminded me that it occurred for some background information I'm really allergic to potatoes they give me blisters all over my mouth and make me violently ill for about 2 days after eating them anyway on to the story when I was about 8 years old I was having a sleepover with my best friend my mom dropped me off at about noon so I was going to have dinner at their house my mother specifically told my friend's mother that I was allergic to potatoes so she could make something without them when dinner came around my friend and I went to eat his mother had made us casserole but little did I know the main ingredient to this is potatoes we ate and then went and played until we went to bed at around midnight I woke up with my mouth full of bleeding blisters I ran to the toilet and started violently chucking up let me tell you stomach acid does not feel good on open blisters I was crying on the floor blood and throw up leaking from my mouth when the mother walks into the bathroom she tells me that you need to stop being so dramatic if you want to go anywhere in life and that allergies aren't real unless you let them be just a reminder she's saying this to a crying 8-year-old child who's dry heaving over the toilet bleeding from the mouth she goes back to bed leaving me in the bathroom for the rest of the night morning comes around and my mom comes to pick me up through my blistered mouth I tell her what happened she goes ballistic tells me to wasit in the car and I can hear her screaming at the other mother from outside suffice to say that was the last time I ever hung out with my friend at his house in short I'm allergic to potatoes this entitled mother feeds me potatoes without my knowledge and calls me a drama queen for having an allergic reaction so you know how in the first part of this video we had a madeup charge of child endangerment going on in that pub with the pregnant waitress well if that particular Karen needed an example of what actual endangerment looks like then go no further than this story like there could have been actual charges coming out of this and the lady who fed the kid potatoes should consider herself lucky that the author didn't die the way that she walks into the bleeding and chucking up and immediately knows that this is the time for a sermon on how all of this is made up shows that it was definitely a premeditated move to make that particular meal what an awful awful woman the funny part is the kind of person who believes that being a waitress while pregnant constitutes child endangerment is exactly the same kind of person who would think that allergies are made up let's just put all these people on One Island together entitled mom insists that I should change my dog's name to not confuse her son about animals this is so ridiculous and happened like 10 minutes ago I couldn't walk home fast enough to get Wi-Fi and share it background info I live in Argentina I'm an advanced student in English teaching I have four dogs and one of them is named monkey before lockdown was enforced and made mandatory back in March I used to tut to this kid called Kay he's five in English he'd be starting English classes at school this year and his mom the entitled mother henceforth had wanted him to have a head start in comparison to the other kids in his class she had said that Kay was insecure about starting school and wanted him to feel accomplished and smart by being a head of his classmates weird logic but okay she was paying me good money and the kid actually showed an interest in the language and all the activities I did with him so tutoring him was actually enjoyable for both of us when lockdown was enforced we had to suspend the tutoring sessions because public transport was unavailable and they lived in the other corner of the city so fast forward to today I took my dog monkey for a walk and we ran into the entitled mother and Kay at the park and Kay was thrilled to meet one of my dogs at last I talked about him before and showed him pictures Kay was very polite and asked what her name was how old she was and if he could pet her when I told him my dog's name was monkey he was thrilled to let me know that he knew what that word meant because they' learned about different animals in his classes during the year his mother was less thrilled to know that I'd named my dog as another animal she started questioning me although it felt more like an interrogation about why I'd do it if I did it just to show off my skills in English and if if I was aware it could be confusing and so on I asked her what she meant by confusing thinking that she meant about the gender of my dog I find it silly that people assume animals gender by their names but it happens but she said and I'm quoting here why would you try to confuse my son by naming a dog as another animal he's trying hard to learn things in English because you prompted him to and now whenever he hears the word monkey he'll think of your dog I tried to explain to her why I'd chosen that name for my dog but she then went on about how I should change my dog name to something more doglike so children like her son wouldn't feel confused about animals she was very insistent on names I could call my dog even telling her son to try calling monkey other names to see if she responded and I almost told her I could probably call her the entitled mother's name instead because she is a b word after all so no confusion there but I restrained myself because her kid was there and I didn't want to deal with her getting all angry at me in public Kay said he liked monkey's name because it's Unique and Suits her because of her curly tail like a monkey cartoon and I told him it was actually one of the reasons I'd chosen that name for her to be honest the other reason is that when I bought her home I was on a binge for anything Arctic Monkeys related for some reason so there's also that the entitled mother realized there was no winning for her in the issue and quickly said some greeting took her kid and left monkey and I actually shared a look for a moment and I took it as a Quee to go home already God we are on a crazy mom roll for this video now aren't we the narrator wonders whether his childhood cat Cleopatra was confusing to any other kids who had yet to take their first history class but seriously the author can't really be called a jerk under any circumstances here maybe under some light if she had gone on the offensive and actually followed through on her line about the lady being a B- word but I'm glad she kept her cool here for the sake of the kid and at least this woman realized eventually that she should just quit and take the L that's more than you can say for a lot of the people people in these videos am I the jerk for going to the ladies room I'm a 31-year-old man and was at a large store yesterday with my 5-month year-old son when he did what babies do I went over to the restrooms and saw that there wasn't a family or companion restroom just a men's and women's I went into the men's room and saw there was a cubicle and a few urinals but no changing table the sink didn't have a counter either I walked out and hunted down an employee to ask where the changing table was she said it was in the bathroom and I asked where assuming there was a family or companion restroom on the other side of the store she took me back to where I just was I asked if there was another bathroom and she said no I told her I was just in the bathroom and there was no changing table she asked if I was sure and suggested I look again I was annoyed but I went back into the men's room no changing table when I came out the employee was gone keep in mind my son has been in his number two filled diaper this whole time so I gave up and headed into the lady's room which sure enough has a changing table there was a woman in there washing her hands and she said wrong bathroom buddy I gestured to my son and said no changing table in the men's room she laughed and said bro that sucks and then she walked out so I rushed to change him hoping to be done before anyone else walked in I was almost done when a woman walked in and started screaming at me I tried to explain what I was doing but she kept screaming get out you can't be here and then she ran out I finished putting the diaper on and rushed out of the bathroom I saw the woman talking to an employee and decided to leave without my stuff the employee tried to wave me down and stopped me but I rushed out to my car buckled my son into his car seat and left my wife said I absolutely did the right thing but my mom said I'm an idiot and was 100% in the wrong my sister won't stop laughing at me and is no help at all am I the jerk how are you in the wrong here zero explanation from the mom here and where the heck else are you meant to change the baby if the employee showed you to the start of the area where this changing room is and the only one that exists is in the lady's room what the freck else are you meant to do I think the only thing that you could have done better was stand your ground when the employees came for you as you were there at their advice after all but I don't blame you for running either
