Video of Starbucks employee in UK branch

It’s not clear what the customer said, it’s presumed she misgenders the employee as he calls her transphobic. He calls her Karen and then either grabs the phone or the person who’s filming.

Notice the TikTok video, our recently sacked friend is already acting out fantasies of situations involving angry response to so-called misgendering.

Talk about being primed and ready to blow.

Anecdotally my teen Dd works in a similar coffee / cafe albeit independent one the worst customers are much older couples. “Mum age” women are the nicest.

How can someone so sensitive possibly do their job as a PCSO? In fact, how can they cope with life at all?

👏👏👏👏

This is excellent

😂

Absolutely everyone involved in persecuting this young man should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves, it is disgraceful what happened to him.

This whole debacle is why we should not be using pronouns when possible, I have a name, avoids the need to gender me (I'm obviously a woman by the way but I hate having to have a title I'm just me!)

I'm trying to find a reason why i would need to use a pronoun buying a coffee! Please and thank you is not gendered. Do we know what preceded the outburst?

Think I'll start a one woman campaign to avoid them, so much easier than the politics of gender

As I understand it it's "non-crime" "hate" behaviour or something equally stupid.

Either way it is NOT illegal but is one of those things an over-zealous police force delights in.

Here’s another bonkers pcso. You’d have thought there was a higher threshold for getting hired by a police force, https://thelincolnite.co.uk/2021/07/ex-lincoln-police-worker-jailed-for-two-years-over-explosives-and-guns/

Has hit the Mail Online:

Haven’t watched the video yet, can imagine it’s as fucking rage inducing as I think. You might want to search on Twitter for Rupert Myers’ past just fyi.

Good. I normally stand up for the worker, knowing how vile the general public can be but this time the worker is well and truly out of order and clearly has a massive chip on their shoulder

what does TRA mean in this context?

@nilsmousehammer totally agree.

It’s quite disturbing how every time the Karen slur is discussed people justify why it’s deserved by those who behave ‘like Karens’ or the other justification that the slur came from the phenomenon of entitled white ‘Karens’ in the US - therefore using the insult is virtuous, almost like fighting racism …..

Only that is only one theory. None of the women in those stories was called Karen. The one in Central Park who called the police was called Amy I think. It’s just as likely that the Karen thing started with the thread on Reddit: Karen took the kids/Fuck you Karen/r. Supposedly by a disgruntled divorced dad claiming ex took him to the cleaners - but turned out to be written by a teenaged boy

It is a franchise, but I've never seen this person serving before - I'm pretty sure he's not the owner.

do not want to watch it. brats all over this place

Not only are we expected to somehow ignore millions of years of human evolution where our ability to detect the sexes, and especially the opposite sex, is integral.

But we're also now meant to seamlessly ID someone not as the opposite sex, but no sex at all ie NB.

All in the space of mere split seconds if you put the span of human existence on a 24 hour clock.

Of course our friend here has no problem locating millions of years of human evolution in unrestrained violence, and violence on women.

THAT'S totally consistent with our existence as humans. What's not consistent is the demand to ignore biology and evolution.

I really hope the poor woman is okay. She certainly stood up for herself but most people would be shaken after something like that. Poor thing just going in to get a coffee and then that happens to her.

Gosh, that’s a lot of self absorption in one TikTok video.

And I’m not wearing make up or earrings today, do I have to hand in my ovaries now?

How dismissive of the abuse of the woman who was the customer! Do you dismiss abuse against women by male people often?

Yeah, I did a decade of retail/catering jobs, as a student, and now I'm an HCP, so 30 years in public-facing roles. Middle aged and older people are generally much more pleasant than younger (though with individual exceptions, of course). This has been true for the 3 decades of my career, so I don't think it's a Millennial/Gen Z thing - each generation mellows as it ages. Confidence with age also helps - I think younger people often come across as rude when they are actually nervous.

I have been assaulted by men and women but never by a woman over 40 (except very old ladies with dementia who didn't know what they were doing).

Well, that seems a very self satisfied male who feels completely justified in abusing women.

Trans Rights Activist.

I see them both as women. I don't know what the argument was about.
