You get to meet different kinds of people in a big-box shopping center.

This woman‘s husband was shopping for pool supplies when a rude woman mistook him for a store employee.

He ignored her several times, but she kept snapping her fingers and demanding help.

She even threatened to have the manager “fire him.”

But the manager dismissed her request, saying he doesn’t work for them.

Ocean State I don’t work here Lady

My husband (41M) told me (30F) this story that happened to him yesterday, so I’m sharing it here today.

Yesterday, my husband went to Ocean State Job Lot, which if you don’t know, is maybe like a Costco.

I guess that would be the best way to describe it.

He was making his way over to the pool section since we needed some metal-out chemicals for our son’s kiddie pool.

This woman’s husband ignored the lady who called him “Boy.”

While there, he had a run-in with an “I don’t work here” Karen.

It started when he heard a lady, who we’ll call Karen, say, “Boy,” while snapping her fingers.

My husband ignored it because no one in their right mind would answer to that.

Then, Karen moved closer to my husband and said again, “Hey, boy,” snapping her fingers.

He ignored her again.

He finally responded and told her he didn’t work there.

By the third time, Karen probably realized my husband was purposely ignoring her.

So she said, “Boy, I’m talking to you,” without snapping this time.

My husband responded, “Excuse me? Who are you talking to?”

Karen said, “Um, you need to help me,” then started saying what she needed help with.

To which my husband replied, “Yeah, I don’t work here.”

The rude lady told him she would get him fired.

She didn’t like that answer, of course, saying, “You will help me now.”

And still went on about what she needed.

My husband, finally having had enough of her, cut her off and said, “Hey lady, I don’t work here.”

In true Karen fashion, she said she was going to get the manager and have him fired.

The manager said he couldn’t fire him as he doesn’t work there.

My husband continued to get what he needed.

Just before checking out, here came Karen with the manager.

“There he is,” Karen said, pointing to my husband.

The manager said, “I can’t fire him. He doesn’t work here.”

The rude lady stormed off, and he and the manager laughed about it.

Then, the manager got smart and jokingly added:

“But I can find out where he works and get him fired.”

Karen stormed off, ranting about entitled people.

My husband and the manager just laughed as she walked away in a huff.

This one commends the manager.

I love the manager’s answer, says this one.

Short and straightforward.

Finally, here’s another valid point.

Some people are too entitled, they think everyone works for them!
