Am I being unreasonable to think Sainsbury's is calling someone a Karen?

So either it's signing off as Karen, or calling someone Karen. Either way it seems a strange thing to do at the end of an official tweet.

@AllThatFancyPaintsAsFair. I didn't search for squashed icecreams I searched for Sainsbury's Twitter. Don't know why it came up 🤦‍♀️

Actually I realise what happened now. Google filled it in for me. It's one of Google options when you search sainsbos twitter.

Just complain about the squashed ice creams and leave Karen alone OP

@Opalfeet

Oh I didn't know, I was just searching Sainsbury's Twitter to complain about my squashed icecreams and that was the results of my search. I thought it was quite funny
You were scrolling through and didn't notice that they all sign their name?
MissTrip82 · 15/08/2021 06:50

Goodness you need to work on your tone if that was meant to be light-hearted.

"sainsbos twitter" + karen

ice + cream + karen

Yeah riiiiiiiiiiiight.

The whole debacle about the use of the name Karen as an insult is awful OP. You are right to be upset. But I agree with PPs, this is probably just the user's name.

Opalfeet · 15/08/2021 09:42

@Propagandalf the term sainsbos was just added to wind a few more people up and watch them pile on with more insults.

But yes, I put in Sainsbury's Twitter it adds words as Google does and I must have clicked by myself. Yeah right...why would I fecking lie?

OP posts:
Opalfeet · 15/08/2021 09:45

There you go @Propagandalf because you can't check yourself and you want to accuse me of being a liar. And no I didn't scroll because I just had the Karen post in front of me when I clicked it.

All you had to do was read Sainsbury’s previous tweets 🙄

Opalfeet · 15/08/2021 10:30

@RogueV didn't have previous tweets in front of me at the time. Sorry I committed the worst sin.

@PumpkinKlNG well no, because what would the point be? Obviously that would be perfectly reasonable. I've sent Sainsbury's a tweet and awaiting a response. Here's the icecreams

This is why it is hard to be called Karen, people either sympathise or take the piss (and not always in a jokey way Sad).

DeflatedGinDrinker · 15/08/2021 10:44

Op karen is a name.

DeflatedGinDrinker · 15/08/2021 10:46

Don't make the lady called Karen feel more shit about her name.

Opalfeet · 15/08/2021 10:50

Oh gosh, I'm sure someone called Karen will get over it.

So anyhow, just an update. Icecreams have been refunded. 👍

Bighorriblemirror · 15/08/2021 11:39

No doubt because she's offended someone the employee named Karen will be made to apologise and sign 'written by Karen' in future or something because the glaringly obvious fact that Karen is a name and might be someone's actual name is no where near as much drama as making a fuss about being offended and having loads of attention (and maybe free stuff) and 'customer service' bollocks.
Honestly.

Tlollj · 15/08/2021 11:45

Mmmmm ice cream.

Opalfeet · 15/08/2021 13:32

@Bighorriblemirror oh don't be daft!!

They'll be no free stuff or customer service 'bollocks' Sainsbury's as tight as and unlikely to give free stuff out for fun

Your sense of humour needs work if you found someone signing their name worthy of starting a thread

TractorAndHeadphones · 15/08/2021 13:39

You could’ve looked at their other posts in less than half the time it took you to create this post.
God people are dumb …

Do you really have nothing more important going on in your life than finding a Sainsbury’s tweet unreasonable because they signed off with the name Karen 🍩

Opalfeet · 15/08/2021 15:12

@vegas888 do you have nothing more important going on in your life than making comments to a post about finding a Sainsbury's tweet unreasonable because they signed of with the name Karen 🍪
