Rage of the Karens

So the local ShopRite showed up in our FB feed. They posted a quick video about everything they're doing to stay open. We go to write a note of thanks for all the work they're doing and see a woman has left a bitchy comment:
We went shopping last night and checking out was a joke. You need to have a better system of telling people what register to go to. It was chaotic. The front end manager kept sending people to the back of the store to wait it line. Not organized at all.
We do what we've been trained to do and reply, 'Thanks, Karen.'  We're about to hit enter when we see, like, nine other comments. One was a man expressing thanks to the hard working staff, but the rest, we swear to god, are Karens complaining about something and even bragging about wanting to see the manager when they saw it. Here's another, as is. We know this sounds like we made it up, but swear every word is true:
I asked a customer today where his mask was,as he has 2 children with him and they were wearing masks! His reply was “ im immune” my reply was “ I don’t care,I’m not,please wear your mask,or I will call a manager,and have you removed”
Then there's the lovely ladies at the Bridgewater Covid-19 FB info page. Anytime someone posts an article skeptical of the quarantine, or from a source they don't like, they Karen-out on everyone. We didn't want to overdo it, but we did get down in the weeds with them, a bit

Anyway, our short story next month is about a cosmonaut rampaging across a planet of little people. Maybe we should change it to a Karen. 

The Babylon Bee has nailed things:
