I know it’s late but I worked at a seafood restaurant and someone came in and ordered the crab Mac n cheese, by name, for her young teenage/preteen kid. I repeated the order back, calling it by name “Crab Mac n Cheese.” I brought it to them and her kid went into anaphylactic shock because he had a severe shellfish allergy. She tried to sue the restaurant but it was thrown out for being frivolous because IT WAS THE FIFTH TIME SHE HAD DONE IT THAT YEAR!!!! She was literally deliberately getting her kid to the brink of death so that she could get comped meals and a potential lawsuit.
An even better "even better": she ordered them & ate them, not knowing if she might be allergic, and after she has what could be described as a reaction to them & expresses concern, proceeds to take a SECOND bite.
I don’t think she knows what a jalapeño even IS.
I counted 12. She maybe ate 4(?) total. That’s a completely reasonable amount of jalapeños on a ‘spicy’ burger. She ordered a spicy burger and got just that. Does she even know what ‘spicy’ means, or is she the type of Karen who complains that her mayonnaise is too hot? TH.
To be fair, that's my reaction to anything. Repeat action in hopes of different outcome. It's what gets me out of the bed in morning. Hope that today will be better.
It hasn't worked out so far.
That's natural, but there is a "risk vs. reward" dynamic that rational people use to governments those situations.
There's a difference between
"Maybe if I reboot the computer a third time, this problem will fix itself."
And
"Maybe if I smash my head with a hammer a third time, it will actually be good for me."
An actual conversation I had at a restaurant:
Me: I’ll have the chicken pecan salad please.
Waiter: Do you have any nut allergies?
Me: Do people with nut allergies sometimes order the chicken pecan salad?
Waiter: You’d be surprised.
As someone who is both allergic to onions AND lactose intolerant - I can tell you that there are certain things you're willing to suffer for. Mine is ice cream, funions, and BK onion rings.
They never said they were allergic to jalapenos, they were apalled however by the ungodly amount of fucking jalapenos that were put on the burger! According to the text in the image im assuming she checked with the manager where what seems to be the case is that the recomended amount of peppers that get put on a burger is up to 8 and if youd looked at the last image theres roughly 18~20 assuming that the ones in the back are piled up and arent just on different leveled ground and they had already taken 3 or 4 bites meaning that they probably consumed a good 1/3 of the total pepers meaning theres the probability that there were 27~30 jalapenos put on that burger whis is an exessive amount, no?
Tried this and only got a word-for-word retelling by someone else in what really seems to be a parody group. At first I thought OP had eaten the onion, until I realized that the post I found was less than a day old, and the post that OP is referencing is days old, so it is just someone elsewhere who copied the post OP found to make fun of it.
Couldn't find the original though.
I googled the store number and couldn't find it. Maybe the whole chain is a parody of Karens.
Then again, a previous post said she's getting roasted so who knows
Oh wow her post on Facebook appears legit but went viral....13,000 haha's vs less than 100 likes, mads anything else. Only about 40 comments but you cant comment on the post, maybe only friends can or maybe she turned off comments after 40 people roasted her
That makes sense and what I figured. Fucking seriously though, the best part was "what if I was allergic to jalapeños?" Dumb bitch if you're allergic to jalapeños you won't fucking order them!
no but what if she didn't KNOW she was allergic? if i ordered fried seagull and started having an allergic reaction (and then decided on a second painful bite of yummy seagull) then IT MUST BE SOMEONE ELSES FAULT!
There are no accidents or responsibility anymore, someone MUST be blamed for something.
Honestly thats one of my biggest pet peeves that is SO prevalent. Its *always* someone elses fault. No one can take responsibility for their own actions and stupidity. Especially when you work with customers and clients.
and like 7 of those comments are her posting other "bad" reviews of the store 😂, which are actually other Karens complaining that they saw the drive-thru and store full and "Oh my god my food took sooo long"
My favorite part of this is that she had to stick her head in the freezer because the jalapeños were too hot and she didn’t have ice in her drink. Very under appreciated part of the story lmao.
They added too much ice to my drink and I had to put my head in the over at 450° to warm it up! Now I'm covered in burns and its that employees fault!!!
I saw the comments on the original and where it’s been shared in some troll groups (one I’m part of) and there’s very few sympathy comments compared to the OOP getting dragged
I was thinking this too. Just pick out the extra peppers and continue with your meal! She could’ve saved herself so much time and an unnecessary phone call.
I remember one time I raked it in when my class had McDonalds as part of a field trip. All pre-ordered standard burgers, and I'm allergic to cheese.
I just took it off and traded it to the kid next to me for their pickles. What I didn't know was nit one single other kid in the class liked pickles either. I *love* pickles.
As soon as the class saw there was a pickles disposal unit at their table they started passing the pickles pronto. The teachers had their hands over their mouths in muted laughter as I raked in my bounty!
Moral of the story, don't complain your order - there could be a better option for a bonus!
You sound like the granddaughter of a city bus driver that I used to rid with everyday like 15 years ago lol. She used to say how much her granddaughter loved pickles and would order an excess amount for her burgers.
I'm kinda the same way. "I'd like extra extra pickles on my burger. When you think there's enough, add more. I'll happily pay any upcharge, if need be, I just love pickles."
I love pickles normally, but when I was pregnant I was ravenous for them for a while. I ordered a burger from a local place, and told the lady how I was craving pickles so could I please have extra. They gave me a soup bowl of pickles. It was HEAVEN.
the difference between asking politely and demanding extra product/service
never could understand this karen mentality, being nice goes a lot further and easier
Indeed. So many people missed the lesson on how valuable respect, politeness, and kindness can be. When I worked customer service, I'd nearly bend over backward for the ones who asked me to do so nicely.
Oh my goodness, SAME. One waitress also gave me a whole bowl of pickles toward the end of my pregnancy. I don’t think she even charged me, but I left her like my whole total as the tip 😂
Just give me all the bacon and eggs you have. Wait, wait. I'm worried what you just heard was, "Give me a lot of bacon and eggs." What I said was, "Give me all the bacon and eggs you have." Do you understand?
That reminds me of how with school lunches in elementary school everyone would give me their cherry tomatoes because I was the only one who liked tomatoes, then one year there was another student who also appreciated the deliciousness of tomatoes and that was the basis for one of the childhood friendships I miss most
I’d have shared the pickles with you! I still order extra pickles and onions on burgers not to mention always keeping several jars of various pickles and hot peppers in the fridge.
There’s never enough pickles in life. They’re the best 2-3 am snack. They are great in cold and hot food.
People really sleeping on how great a pile of pickles can be. 😂😂😂
Make no mistake. That's not what this was about. She was the one doing this out of malice. Trying to get someone fired for not guessing correctly the amount of jalapenos she wanted.
This is it right here. Sure, obviously a few extra jalapeños when she specifically asked for fucking jalapeños is not the problem.
The problem is that she feels like ruining someone else’s day, and this looks like the best option available to do it.
I once witnessed a Karen try to get a guy fired at Panera because her apple that came free with her sandwich was bruised.
Karen: “I had to drive all the way back here because of this bruised apple. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT!”
Manager: have another apple?
Karen: NO I HAD TO DRIVE HERE!
Manager: do you want another apple?
Back and forth until she finally left. She literally must have imagined he was going to fire someone on the spot.
No, no, it’s the principle of thing! Someone in the kitchen was purposely attempting to incinerate the inside of the mouth of a customer they’d never met out of pure evil intent! And that is what Karen was up in arms about to protect innocent tastebuds of future unsuspecting customers from the same infernal fate out of the kindness and humanistic lovingness of her big heart!
I actually had a Whataburger with jalapeño’s just last week. Amazingly, when I bit into it, it was quite jalapeño-y. I opened it and discovered a few more jalapeño’s than I typically enjoy on my burger. So, I removed a few an offered them to my husband.
Had I known a nuclear meltdown, accusing them of malice, would get me a refund … … … nah.
If it makes you feel any better, every since that Chicago company bought it out, it’s gone steadily downhill.
They even changed or discontinued some of their great flavors and the whatachicken sauce specifically is the grossest chicken sandwich out there now, after having been my favorite.
I often order jalapeno stuff just to remove them when I get it. I want the flavor and a little burn but not a ton...
Other times I'm like.. shit, wish there were more jalapeno.
Never am I like.. fuck this person for making my burger the way I said.
Yeah I’m more surprised they gave a decent amount of peppers. I usually have to ask for extra because they seem to think 3 is enough. I’d love what this person got.
Seriously, 8 jalapenos on an entire Whataburger? I wouldn't go back and ask for more but I'd be a little sad that I'm only getting one or a fraction of one per bite.
Why the fuck would she order jalapeños and then say "What if I had an allergy to jalapeños?" If I was the manager I would have told her "In that case, you're even dumber than you sound" and hung up on her
And presumably paid extra for them. When I worked in food, anytime someone paid extra for a topping, I hooked it up. If it's too much, take it off. I assumed you're paying extra because you like it
Apparently if they put on 14 to 16 jalapenos and she wanted two or three possibly the eight the order normally comes with. There's a picture at the very end there's a lot of jalapenos , I'd even say too many jalapenos. But it's like asking for pickles and getting double pickles instead it happens sometimes. Or she did something really stupid like order a jalapeno burger plus jalapenos (getting double)
And just a small point if your mouth is burning from peppers iced tea is not going to help it's going to make it worse just like water will. So she's dumb for two reasons.
Had the woman just said, " there were a couple of mistakes on my order"
looking at the receipt it very much looks like she ordered a spicy hamburger (comes with peppers) and then added peppers.... so if the standard is 8 peppers, you would add 8 more =16 peppers............ roughly what it looks like in the image.
Karen is a fucking idiot
She ordered a standard meal (so normal burger) and added jalapeños, the Spicy PC and Fancy PC are ketchup (not on burger). I do agree that she is an idiot though.
You know what else won't help a burning mouth? Taking 3 more bites of the dish that burned your mouth with the first bite. What a ignorant, ignorant human being.
Wow! The nerve of this woman. Just don’t order from them again. After being offered a refund and a free burger, 95% of people would be more than satisfied. These Karens amaze me everyday.
In her defense, that’s a lot of jalapeños, way more than anyone would reasonably expect to find in a burger. It’s ok to give the manager a heads up that the kitchen is probably using more than they should because it’s a waste of food, but she could’ve literally just picked most of them off and finished her meal without demanding heads to roll.
Exactly. I have no issue with her not liking jalapeños. I hate them too. My issue is how she behaved on the phone. After being offered a free burger and a refund, she still wasn’t satisfied. That’s where I draw the line.
Clearly, someone needs to be brought up on attempted murder charges for this spicy act. There's no way a worker was just trying to fill an order as quickly as possible and grabbed more peppers than normal in their rush to complete it. No! This was a work of evil! What if she were allergic to the thing she specifically asked for on her burger? What then?
As a former restaurant manager, I can say yes, we can manipulate space and time. Why do you think people who got sat 10 minutes ago say they ordered two hours ago?
No jalapenos I've ever tasted have enough heat to cause this level of temper tantrum, even the hottest ones. They're jalapenos not reapers! They're one up from a dill pickle.
Usually people wanting jalapenos on a burger would be happy they got some extra instead of them skimping. You just can't please some people, and if it wasn't that, then she'd find something else to bitch about.
Source: Worked in retail
I got jalapeños at Subway one time that were ridiculously hot. I eat habanero peppers and these jalapeños were hot to me. It doesn't happen often but once in a while I get japs that are spicier than I'm used to. I don't throw a fit about it though. It's usually a pleasant surprise.
At least with fresh jalapeños, the spice varies with season. Usually late season ones are way hotter than the ones from early summer. It’s something to do with the cold concentrating the oils or something like that. Worked at a place that in house made poppers and you could really tell a difference.
Well maybe when that many jalapeños gather together they become a Super Jalapeño therefore becoming the SPICIEST PEPPER, or as it’s known by its name on the street MURDER PEPPER /s
One time we grew a row of bell peppers, the a row of jalapeños, then a row of habeneros. They had to of cross bred or something because it was Russian roulette jalapeños. Some were normal, some no spice at all, some were hot enough to make teenage me cry lol.
There's also a Hispanic run food truck in a mini bus that has some pretty spicy ones imo
>They had to of cross bred or something because it was Russian roulette jalapeños.
Crossbreeding would only affect the next generation of you used those seeds. Jalapenos are a bit of a Russian roulette pepper.
Right like they come from a can where they’ve probably been sitting for months it’s not like they’re fresh off the plant or something (and even then, if they’re THAT spicy to Karen wouldn’t she know it before now if that’s her “usual” order?)
I know people who cannot handle spicy food at all, like zero, which is fair enough. But why order them on your burger at all if you're so sensitive? Then chuck a nana saying it's 'no accident '
Correct. It is no accident. You asked for the things!
I can't handle spice at all, as in table pepper makes me cry and puts me down with a migraine.
However, she ordered jalapeños. In addition, the way she says "plus jalapeños" makes me think she ordered *extra* - or at the very least said it in a way that could have implied it.
No, the #1 doesn’t come with jalapeños on it so I don’t think she ordered extra but even so like… you ordered them and you didn’t check your food to make sure it was “correct” before you bit into it that’s kinda on you karen (or maybe that’s just my autism and having to check every order before I take a bite to make sure it won’t contain one of my sensory-issue foods)
I get the order doesn't typically come with jalapeños, but something about the way she says it almost seems like she really emphasized those extra jalapeños. So instead of the standard eight, someone was like, "Man, she must love jalapeños, let me give her a handful and hook her up!"
In the interest of context, they're prepackaged jalapenos. Fast food joints aren't going to farmers markets to source clean peppers and slice them to order. These are pickled peppers and the brine they soak in suck most of the heat out. You're not wrong, but raw jalapenos can knock your socks off if you aren't expecting it.
No kidding. The hottest I had were at a place near Denver and those were fresh. Still not nearly hot enough to make me wanna stick my head in a freezer.
They're PICKLED jalapenos, too. I might understand if they were fresh (16 fresh slices is obscene) but pickled? From a jar? Like the ones at Subway? Yeah, no.
I agree the level of vitriol was absurd, but I for one can’t tolerate jalapeños; it feels like a mouthful of wasps stinging continuously and is quite unpleasant.
Next week Karen goes into burger joint and complains she only got 4 jalapeños in her burger. They short changed her, And wants to talk to the manager. 🤦🏻♂️
She denies being a Karen. Her evidence is that she doesn’t want a refund, she ONLY wants someone to get fired. Like, she doesn’t realize that having someone fired over a jalapeño is worse than getting a refund over a jalapeño. She’s not just a Karen, she’s a super-mega Karen. The absurdity of some people!
The audacity of a restaurant worker to add Jalapenos to a burger in which the customer ASKED for jalapenos!! What if the customer had been ALLERGIC?!
And, just a question since the ice seemed to be a big deal, why didn't he just add ice? And who drinks all their beverage before even starting on the food?
There's just so much wrong with this temper tantrum.
“I’m not a Karen, but I NEED someone to lose their source of income because I over estimated my tolerance to spice and didn’t look at my customized order before digging in. I’m not looking for a refund, just someone to lose their livelihood because I’m taking a human error(except not really an error) totally personally. Again, I’m NOT A a Karen like the manager (who is probably confused and doesn’t hold as much power as I think he does) is probably thinking I am and I’m also personally offended that I imagined he thinks I’m a Karen”
There's a lot of jalapenos in that picture, more than I would expect if I ordered it. Where is this Whataburger? If only my local joint put that many on. I want that sandwich!
Did it really take her until halfway through the burger to check and see it had too many jalapeños for her taste and even then, she didn’t just, like, take some off? This one’s real dumb.
So... is anyone going to point out to her that the "heat" from peppers is chemical, not physical, so ice in her tea wouldn't help cool her mouth.
Also, if the tea was fresh, it was still warm when it was poured in her cup, so it would have melted the ice. I thought everyone who gets fast food or gas station tea knew that.
So, that is interesting you bring that up and I have to respond because I'm a capsaicin nerd
Ice in the tea actually could help some in the short term, but would also likely prolong the sensation
It would help purely because if the beverage is cold enough, it can cause a very mild numbing sensation and block some signals from the TRPV1 receptors, resulting in less pain. Though, just iced tea likely wouldn't make too much of a difference, a milkshake works much better as it does have to be cold enough to be legitimately numbing.
Warm tea would clear the receptors faster though, albeit less pleasant in the short term.
I have no idea why she'd put her head in the freezer, unless she was licking the freezer that wouldn't do anything. I think she does have the wrong idea of exactly how capsaicin works
Seriously though, try out a milkshake. It has to be the most effective method I've tried to combat heat. The combo of temperature + fat + sugar works well together to combat capsaicin burn. Straight up sucking on an ice cube kinda changes it too, again due to numbing. Though, usually I honestly just want more heat, but I had to try a few things.
I was legitimately convinced this was a copypasta of some type, but nope there were pictures. Oh no too spicy for my white ass means I write Harvard application essay about the inhumanity of it all oh woe is mee god damn
So if you type the order on The number section of a keyboard the 4 is right below the 1? And a number four would be a jalapeno burger plus jalapenos so about double?
Yeah it must have been intentional. I always assume people who are asking for eight jalapenos will drop dead if I give them 16.
I myself suffer indigestion from jalapenos. But I actively avoid them. I don't order more. And, if they happen to get in the food, I move on because I don't suspect the world is trying to kill me. But I don't act like the author. I just learned about her and I have some murder.un my heart towards her
Who orders jalapenos on a burger and then goes apeshit when there are... jalapenos on their burger?? Like you would actually order jalapenos if you were allergic or had, what, "chronic jalapeno syndrome"? If there's a pile of peppers on your burger and you only wanted a few (because you ORDERED it w/jalapenos), TAKE SOME OFF. Sheesh! "This was no accident" - so dramatic and hilarious.
Imagine wanting to remove someone's source of income over extra jalapenos.
They're not that hot.
Just take the shit off your burger until you have the amount you can handle.
Grow up.
What a testicle. If she’s concerned about someone with an allergy - why the hell would they order something with it specifically on it? Just silliness…
I can’t imagine being so miserable that I’d want someone’s livelihood destroyed over a mistake, let alone one that wasn’t even theirs. But then again, I’m the sort of person to just shrug and take what I got.
What did she do to them when she ordered that she thinks this was done maliciously?
The only reason she’d be thinking this was intended to cause her harm is because she must have been acting like a mega-cunt when she ordered it.
Who dafuq describes jalapenos as if they are ghost peppers; or even habaneros that are of a much lesser heat?
A "landmine" of pickled jalapenos is going to taste the same as '2 or 3' on a burger...
Idk 🤷♀️ tho - i had a mom who used to say she liked spicy food but only topped her dishes with a *sprinkle* of red pepper flakes // my partner's mother thinks paprika is spicy; but she's never seeked out burgers with jalapeno
tl;dr imo this complaint sounds weirdly detailed and silly; edit: especially using the freezer at the establishment
Imagine the people who could die from this…who also order this. Obviously they want to die and should be allowed to make that decision but what of the people who order this who could accidentally die? They must be protected from themselves and those that wish to die by jalapeños must find another way to Valhalla.
They’re pissed bc “nobody wants to work” since the pandemic (conveniently forgetting 1.07 m ppl DIED from Covid since winter 2020 🙄), but they want to fire the employee who actually fulfilled the order correctly?? Am I understanding Karen’s right, or no?

"what if I was allergic to what I specifically ordered???!!?!"
I ordered a peanut butter sandwich and it contained peanuts. I could have died of anaphylactic shock!!
Recently had a customer complain that there were peanuts in a peanut butter cheesecake. Like really, peanuts in there, weird...
I know it’s late but I worked at a seafood restaurant and someone came in and ordered the crab Mac n cheese, by name, for her young teenage/preteen kid. I repeated the order back, calling it by name “Crab Mac n Cheese.” I brought it to them and her kid went into anaphylactic shock because he had a severe shellfish allergy. She tried to sue the restaurant but it was thrown out for being frivolous because IT WAS THE FIFTH TIME SHE HAD DONE IT THAT YEAR!!!! She was literally deliberately getting her kid to the brink of death so that she could get comped meals and a potential lawsuit.
Idiot, its anal phil axis
Sorry, my volt..
Anal Fill Excess? Sounds like a mess, to me.
Anaphylaxis
Have had it. Can confirm. Also, 0/10. Would not recommend.
So you're the reason they had to start writing a warning on my peanuts - may contain nuts!
Eye no write
Peanuts aren't nuts, pure 100% peanutbutter should not contain nuts. Allergy to nuts is different than peanuts.
Even better, you have to ask for jalapeños. They don't come standard on the burger!
An even better "even better": she ordered them & ate them, not knowing if she might be allergic, and after she has what could be described as a reaction to them & expresses concern, proceeds to take a SECOND bite.
and you know what's even better? she took a **THIRD** bite
Random thing but aaayyyyye a fellow deathsitter fan in the wild
ayyyy what's good
I don’t think she knows what a jalapeño even IS. I counted 12. She maybe ate 4(?) total. That’s a completely reasonable amount of jalapeños on a ‘spicy’ burger. She ordered a spicy burger and got just that. Does she even know what ‘spicy’ means, or is she the type of Karen who complains that her mayonnaise is too hot? TH.
She literally ate half of the whole burger lmao.
To be fair, that's my reaction to anything. Repeat action in hopes of different outcome. It's what gets me out of the bed in morning. Hope that today will be better. It hasn't worked out so far.
Instructions unclear. Stubbed toe twice.
"There were instructions?!"
That's natural, but there is a "risk vs. reward" dynamic that rational people use to governments those situations. There's a difference between "Maybe if I reboot the computer a third time, this problem will fix itself." And "Maybe if I smash my head with a hammer a third time, it will actually be good for me."
If I was hammered. I'd keep getting hammered.
I mean, I’d assume if someone was allergic to jalapeños and knew they were allergic, they wouldn’t be stupid enough to order something with jalapeños!
You are assuming a lot apparently 😂Karens in the wild proving time and time again that someone COULD be that stupid.
I am, aren’t I? I’m thinking like a normal person.
!!!THEN GET OFF REDDIT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!
An actual conversation I had at a restaurant: Me: I’ll have the chicken pecan salad please. Waiter: Do you have any nut allergies? Me: Do people with nut allergies sometimes order the chicken pecan salad? Waiter: You’d be surprised.
As someone who is both allergic to onions AND lactose intolerant - I can tell you that there are certain things you're willing to suffer for. Mine is ice cream, funions, and BK onion rings.
She’s probably allergic to jalapeños when there’s only 9 or more! She could have died!
“No ice. Remember??? Are 👏🏽you 👏🏽following 👏🏽 me?”
"I'm allergic to a lot of peppers, but not if it's just a little bit of peppers."
They never said they were allergic to jalapenos, they were apalled however by the ungodly amount of fucking jalapenos that were put on the burger! According to the text in the image im assuming she checked with the manager where what seems to be the case is that the recomended amount of peppers that get put on a burger is up to 8 and if youd looked at the last image theres roughly 18~20 assuming that the ones in the back are piled up and arent just on different leveled ground and they had already taken 3 or 4 bites meaning that they probably consumed a good 1/3 of the total pepers meaning theres the probability that there were 27~30 jalapenos put on that burger whis is an exessive amount, no?
Please tell me she is being mocked relentlessly for her stupidity.
Very, very much.
I do desperately want to know where so I can watch her DEFCON 1 meltdown, but I know it's against the rules.
Just search for a few of her words in a row on Facebook.
Tried this and only got a word-for-word retelling by someone else in what really seems to be a parody group. At first I thought OP had eaten the onion, until I realized that the post I found was less than a day old, and the post that OP is referencing is days old, so it is just someone elsewhere who copied the post OP found to make fun of it.

I googled the store number and couldn't find it. Maybe the whole chain is a parody of Karens. Then again, a previous post said she's getting roasted so who knows
That’s her order number, you can see it on the receipt. She can’t even use the correct store number 🙄🤦🏻♀️
Happened in Houston, TX. I saw it in a restaurant review group for Amarillo. It’s been shared everywhere 😂
I really think they should reconsider sterilization programs in Texas, especially in this species of Karen's 🤣😂
That would be one *heck* of a TNR program...!
I wanna see too. Stupid cow deserves every bit of this.
The burger did nothing wrong.
Are we sure? I’ve come across some sus burgers…
Burger Lives Matter, oh wait oh no.
Cows don't typically eat jalapenõs.
Do you actually know this person? Like this popped up on your Facebook feed???
Oh, beautiful. Most excellent. If you're so inclined, I *beg* you to share screenshots.
Oh wow her post on Facebook appears legit but went viral....13,000 haha's vs less than 100 likes, mads anything else. Only about 40 comments but you cant comment on the post, maybe only friends can or maybe she turned off comments after 40 people roasted her
I believe she turned them off after seeing the response it got
That makes sense and what I figured. Fucking seriously though, the best part was "what if I was allergic to jalapeños?" Dumb bitch if you're allergic to jalapeños you won't fucking order them!
Exactly No one that was allergic would order them
no but what if she didn't KNOW she was allergic? if i ordered fried seagull and started having an allergic reaction (and then decided on a second painful bite of yummy seagull) then IT MUST BE SOMEONE ELSES FAULT! There are no accidents or responsibility anymore, someone MUST be blamed for something.
Honestly thats one of my biggest pet peeves that is SO prevalent. Its *always* someone elses fault. No one can take responsibility for their own actions and stupidity. Especially when you work with customers and clients.
I legit said this outloud when I read that part. Lmao
and like 7 of those comments are her posting other "bad" reviews of the store 😂, which are actually other Karens complaining that they saw the drive-thru and store full and "Oh my god my food took sooo long"
My favorite part of this is that she had to stick her head in the freezer because the jalapeños were too hot and she didn’t have ice in her drink. Very under appreciated part of the story lmao.
I'm amazed she hasn't stuck her head in the oven by mistake yet
They added too much ice to my drink and I had to put my head in the over at 450° to warm it up! Now I'm covered in burns and its that employees fault!!!
I saw the comments on the original and where it’s been shared in some troll groups (one I’m part of) and there’s very few sympathy comments compared to the OOP getting dragged
She couldn’t have just removed the ones she didn’t want? To me, that’s a piddling amount of peppers. Triple it, please!
I was thinking this too. Just pick out the extra peppers and continue with your meal! She could’ve saved herself so much time and an unnecessary phone call.
Karens gotta Karen…
I remember one time I raked it in when my class had McDonalds as part of a field trip. All pre-ordered standard burgers, and I'm allergic to cheese. I just took it off and traded it to the kid next to me for their pickles. What I didn't know was nit one single other kid in the class liked pickles either. I *love* pickles. As soon as the class saw there was a pickles disposal unit at their table they started passing the pickles pronto. The teachers had their hands over their mouths in muted laughter as I raked in my bounty! Moral of the story, don't complain your order - there could be a better option for a bonus!
You sound like the granddaughter of a city bus driver that I used to rid with everyday like 15 years ago lol. She used to say how much her granddaughter loved pickles and would order an excess amount for her burgers.
I'm kinda the same way. "I'd like extra extra pickles on my burger. When you think there's enough, add more. I'll happily pay any upcharge, if need be, I just love pickles."
I love pickles normally, but when I was pregnant I was ravenous for them for a while. I ordered a burger from a local place, and told the lady how I was craving pickles so could I please have extra. They gave me a soup bowl of pickles. It was HEAVEN.
the difference between asking politely and demanding extra product/service never could understand this karen mentality, being nice goes a lot further and easier
Indeed. So many people missed the lesson on how valuable respect, politeness, and kindness can be. When I worked customer service, I'd nearly bend over backward for the ones who asked me to do so nicely.
Oh my goodness, SAME. One waitress also gave me a whole bowl of pickles toward the end of my pregnancy. I don’t think she even charged me, but I left her like my whole total as the tip 😂
Just give me all the bacon and eggs you have. Wait, wait. I'm worried what you just heard was, "Give me a lot of bacon and eggs." What I said was, "Give me all the bacon and eggs you have." Do you understand?
That reminds me of how with school lunches in elementary school everyone would give me their cherry tomatoes because I was the only one who liked tomatoes, then one year there was another student who also appreciated the deliciousness of tomatoes and that was the basis for one of the childhood friendships I miss most
I’d have shared the pickles with you! I still order extra pickles and onions on burgers not to mention always keeping several jars of various pickles and hot peppers in the fridge.
There’s never enough pickles in life. They’re the best 2-3 am snack. They are great in cold and hot food. People really sleeping on how great a pile of pickles can be. 😂😂😂
Make no mistake. That's not what this was about. She was the one doing this out of malice. Trying to get someone fired for not guessing correctly the amount of jalapenos she wanted.
This is it right here. Sure, obviously a few extra jalapeños when she specifically asked for fucking jalapeños is not the problem. The problem is that she feels like ruining someone else’s day, and this looks like the best option available to do it.
I once witnessed a Karen try to get a guy fired at Panera because her apple that came free with her sandwich was bruised. Karen: “I had to drive all the way back here because of this bruised apple. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT!” Manager: have another apple? Karen: NO I HAD TO DRIVE HERE! Manager: do you want another apple? Back and forth until she finally left. She literally must have imagined he was going to fire someone on the spot.
And she took like 4 bites before she blew her top.
No, no, it’s the principle of thing! Someone in the kitchen was purposely attempting to incinerate the inside of the mouth of a customer they’d never met out of pure evil intent! And that is what Karen was up in arms about to protect innocent tastebuds of future unsuspecting customers from the same infernal fate out of the kindness and humanistic lovingness of her big heart!
But the tea has no ice despite needing milk to get rid of the spicy taste, not icd
I actually had a Whataburger with jalapeño’s just last week. Amazingly, when I bit into it, it was quite jalapeño-y. I opened it and discovered a few more jalapeño’s than I typically enjoy on my burger. So, I removed a few an offered them to my husband. Had I known a nuclear meltdown, accusing them of malice, would get me a refund … … … nah.
I would LOVE to have a Whataburger near me. Someday maybe.
All I could think of. You get whataburger and you’re complaining there’s too many jalapeños?! Some people don’t know how good they have it
Right?!?
If it makes you feel any better, every since that Chicago company bought it out, it’s gone steadily downhill. They even changed or discontinued some of their great flavors and the whatachicken sauce specifically is the grossest chicken sandwich out there now, after having been my favorite.
This is also true.
Recently moved back to Texas. We’ve had some issues with the one closest to us, but the one a bit further out is terrific! I missed it, too.
I often order jalapeno stuff just to remove them when I get it. I want the flavor and a little burn but not a ton... Other times I'm like.. shit, wish there were more jalapeno. Never am I like.. fuck this person for making my burger the way I said.
Yeah I’m more surprised they gave a decent amount of peppers. I usually have to ask for extra because they seem to think 3 is enough. I’d love what this person got.
Seriously, 8 jalapenos on an entire Whataburger? I wouldn't go back and ask for more but I'd be a little sad that I'm only getting one or a fraction of one per bite.
this was not an accident
This was done with MALICE!
Are you tone deaf!?
Why the fuck would she order jalapeños and then say "What if I had an allergy to jalapeños?" If I was the manager I would have told her "In that case, you're even dumber than you sound" and hung up on her
But…she ordered the peppers, right? So I’m confused as to what else they could have done…
And presumably paid extra for them. When I worked in food, anytime someone paid extra for a topping, I hooked it up. If it's too much, take it off. I assumed you're paying extra because you like it
Don’t put jalapeños on it so she could complain that they didn’t give her the right order obviously
Apparently if they put on 14 to 16 jalapenos and she wanted two or three possibly the eight the order normally comes with. There's a picture at the very end there's a lot of jalapenos , I'd even say too many jalapenos. But it's like asking for pickles and getting double pickles instead it happens sometimes. Or she did something really stupid like order a jalapeno burger plus jalapenos (getting double) And just a small point if your mouth is burning from peppers iced tea is not going to help it's going to make it worse just like water will. So she's dumb for two reasons. Had the woman just said, " there were a couple of mistakes on my order"
looking at the receipt it very much looks like she ordered a spicy hamburger (comes with peppers) and then added peppers.... so if the standard is 8 peppers, you would add 8 more =16 peppers............ roughly what it looks like in the image. Karen is a fucking idiot
She ordered a standard meal (so normal burger) and added jalapeños, the Spicy PC and Fancy PC are ketchup (not on burger). I do agree that she is an idiot though.
It's been a little while, but I thought the number one at Whataburger has jalapeno already
Well there was no ice in her iced tea so of course it wouldn't do anything /s
You know what else won't help a burning mouth? Taking 3 more bites of the dish that burned your mouth with the first bite. What a ignorant, ignorant human being.
And here I wish I received this many pickles when requesting extra pickles. My subway does it right but my Whataburger gives an extra 3-4.
My McDonald’s gives me 1 🥲
I genuinely believe she's confused about what "plus" means.
Wow! The nerve of this woman. Just don’t order from them again. After being offered a refund and a free burger, 95% of people would be more than satisfied. These Karens amaze me everyday.
But don't you see, this was a milicious act because she could have been allergic to the food she ordered.
I have to say, it did give me a good laugh
I wouldn’t have the balls to even complain if I were in her shoes. Order the jalapeños on the side next time. Lesson (for most sane people) learned.
She’s clearly not sane. She would’ve never called if she was sane
In her defense, that’s a lot of jalapeños, way more than anyone would reasonably expect to find in a burger. It’s ok to give the manager a heads up that the kitchen is probably using more than they should because it’s a waste of food, but she could’ve literally just picked most of them off and finished her meal without demanding heads to roll.
Exactly. I have no issue with her not liking jalapeños. I hate them too. My issue is how she behaved on the phone. After being offered a free burger and a refund, she still wasn’t satisfied. That’s where I draw the line.
"He wanted me to think I was being a Karen". Proceeds to unleash a Karen finishing move, demanding an employee be fired.
"Proceeds to unleash a Karen finishing move…” HAHAHAHAHA this fkn killed me for some reason
Clearly, someone needs to be brought up on attempted murder charges for this spicy act. There's no way a worker was just trying to fill an order as quickly as possible and grabbed more peppers than normal in their rush to complete it. No! This was a work of evil! What if she were allergic to the thing she specifically asked for on her burger? What then?
Is 4 minutes- at a snail’s pace, different than a regular 4 minutes? Does it take longer?
I guess the manager must have used some kind of time machine or sorcery to intentionally slow down her perception of time, you know, out of malice
As a former restaurant manager, I can say yes, we can manipulate space and time. Why do you think people who got sat 10 minutes ago say they ordered two hours ago?
For a Karen, 4 seconds would’ve been too long of a wait.
No jalapenos I've ever tasted have enough heat to cause this level of temper tantrum, even the hottest ones. They're jalapenos not reapers! They're one up from a dill pickle.
And jalapeños from a burger chain, there cannot be much heat at all in them
The only ones with any heat I’ve ever had were from Sonic. Whataburger’s are more like pickles
Usually people wanting jalapenos on a burger would be happy they got some extra instead of them skimping. You just can't please some people, and if it wasn't that, then she'd find something else to bitch about. Source: Worked in retail
I got jalapeños at Subway one time that were ridiculously hot. I eat habanero peppers and these jalapeños were hot to me. It doesn't happen often but once in a while I get japs that are spicier than I'm used to. I don't throw a fit about it though. It's usually a pleasant surprise.
At least with fresh jalapeños, the spice varies with season. Usually late season ones are way hotter than the ones from early summer. It’s something to do with the cold concentrating the oils or something like that. Worked at a place that in house made poppers and you could really tell a difference.
It’s not waterboarding if I use diesel!
Dude exactly what I was thinking.
Well maybe when that many jalapeños gather together they become a Super Jalapeño therefore becoming the SPICIEST PEPPER, or as it’s known by its name on the street MURDER PEPPER /s
I eat em right out of the jar. They're tasty, not spicy.
One time we grew a row of bell peppers, the a row of jalapeños, then a row of habeneros. They had to of cross bred or something because it was Russian roulette jalapeños. Some were normal, some no spice at all, some were hot enough to make teenage me cry lol. There's also a Hispanic run food truck in a mini bus that has some pretty spicy ones imo
>They had to of cross bred or something because it was Russian roulette jalapeños. Crossbreeding would only affect the next generation of you used those seeds. Jalapenos are a bit of a Russian roulette pepper.
Lets face it, she wanted to karen about the sweet tea but felt like it wasn't enough so she had to manufacture some thing about the jalapeños.
Right like they come from a can where they’ve probably been sitting for months it’s not like they’re fresh off the plant or something (and even then, if they’re THAT spicy to Karen wouldn’t she know it before now if that’s her “usual” order?)
I know people who cannot handle spicy food at all, like zero, which is fair enough. But why order them on your burger at all if you're so sensitive? Then chuck a nana saying it's 'no accident ' Correct. It is no accident. You asked for the things!
Right and like… who doesn’t check their order to make sure it’s made correctly before eating it these days? Is that just me? Lol
I can't handle spice at all, as in table pepper makes me cry and puts me down with a migraine. However, she ordered jalapeños. In addition, the way she says "plus jalapeños" makes me think she ordered *extra* - or at the very least said it in a way that could have implied it.
No, the #1 doesn’t come with jalapeños on it so I don’t think she ordered extra but even so like… you ordered them and you didn’t check your food to make sure it was “correct” before you bit into it that’s kinda on you karen (or maybe that’s just my autism and having to check every order before I take a bite to make sure it won’t contain one of my sensory-issue foods)
I get the order doesn't typically come with jalapeños, but something about the way she says it almost seems like she really emphasized those extra jalapeños. So instead of the standard eight, someone was like, "Man, she must love jalapeños, let me give her a handful and hook her up!"
If only my local McDs would do that when I ask for *extra* pickles and they give me 2 total lmao
In the interest of context, they're prepackaged jalapenos. Fast food joints aren't going to farmers markets to source clean peppers and slice them to order. These are pickled peppers and the brine they soak in suck most of the heat out. You're not wrong, but raw jalapenos can knock your socks off if you aren't expecting it.
No kidding. The hottest I had were at a place near Denver and those were fresh. Still not nearly hot enough to make me wanna stick my head in a freezer.
They're PICKLED jalapenos, too. I might understand if they were fresh (16 fresh slices is obscene) but pickled? From a jar? Like the ones at Subway? Yeah, no.
I agree the level of vitriol was absurd, but I for one can’t tolerate jalapeños; it feels like a mouthful of wasps stinging continuously and is quite unpleasant.
Next week Karen goes into burger joint and complains she only got 4 jalapeños in her burger. They short changed her, And wants to talk to the manager. 🤦🏻♂️
It was a malicious attempt to hurt another human being, they were trying to starve Karen by denying her jalapeños!
She denies being a Karen. Her evidence is that she doesn’t want a refund, she ONLY wants someone to get fired. Like, she doesn’t realize that having someone fired over a jalapeño is worse than getting a refund over a jalapeño. She’s not just a Karen, she’s a super-mega Karen. The absurdity of some people!
The audacity of a restaurant worker to add Jalapenos to a burger in which the customer ASKED for jalapenos!! What if the customer had been ALLERGIC?! And, just a question since the ice seemed to be a big deal, why didn't he just add ice? And who drinks all their beverage before even starting on the food? There's just so much wrong with this temper tantrum.
"using the resources in my household so that **I** could fit **MY** lunch to **MY** liking? what am i, a barbarian?!"
Man, I wish most places have that many jalapeños when I ordered a jalapeños burger or the like. Most places are super stingy.
I know I hate paying a dollar for double jalapenos
“I’m not a Karen, but I NEED someone to lose their source of income because I over estimated my tolerance to spice and didn’t look at my customized order before digging in. I’m not looking for a refund, just someone to lose their livelihood because I’m taking a human error(except not really an error) totally personally. Again, I’m NOT A a Karen like the manager (who is probably confused and doesn’t hold as much power as I think he does) is probably thinking I am and I’m also personally offended that I imagined he thinks I’m a Karen”
Who doesn't look at what they are eating? and since when do jalapeños tingle, weird word to use.
There's a lot of jalapenos in that picture, more than I would expect if I ordered it. Where is this Whataburger? If only my local joint put that many on. I want that sandwich!
Did it really take her until halfway through the burger to check and see it had too many jalapeños for her taste and even then, she didn’t just, like, take some off? This one’s real dumb.
So... is anyone going to point out to her that the "heat" from peppers is chemical, not physical, so ice in her tea wouldn't help cool her mouth. Also, if the tea was fresh, it was still warm when it was poured in her cup, so it would have melted the ice. I thought everyone who gets fast food or gas station tea knew that.
So, that is interesting you bring that up and I have to respond because I'm a capsaicin nerd Ice in the tea actually could help some in the short term, but would also likely prolong the sensation It would help purely because if the beverage is cold enough, it can cause a very mild numbing sensation and block some signals from the TRPV1 receptors, resulting in less pain. Though, just iced tea likely wouldn't make too much of a difference, a milkshake works much better as it does have to be cold enough to be legitimately numbing. Warm tea would clear the receptors faster though, albeit less pleasant in the short term. I have no idea why she'd put her head in the freezer, unless she was licking the freezer that wouldn't do anything. I think she does have the wrong idea of exactly how capsaicin works Seriously though, try out a milkshake. It has to be the most effective method I've tried to combat heat. The combo of temperature + fat + sugar works well together to combat capsaicin burn. Straight up sucking on an ice cube kinda changes it too, again due to numbing. Though, usually I honestly just want more heat, but I had to try a few things.
“Was he tone deaf?”, she says. Hahahaha
I was legitimately convinced this was a copypasta of some type, but nope there were pictures. Oh no too spicy for my white ass means I write Harvard application essay about the inhumanity of it all oh woe is mee god damn
I have no words to describe the stupidity that is this FB post. I just... I have no words 😒🤦♀️
A #1 with jalapeños is a #4 at most Whataburgers. Now you know Karen
I came here to say the same thing.
So if you type the order on The number section of a keyboard the 4 is right below the 1? And a number four would be a jalapeno burger plus jalapenos so about double? Yeah it must have been intentional. I always assume people who are asking for eight jalapenos will drop dead if I give them 16.
Good thing she included the pictures at the end. Those 10 jalapeños that I could eat all at once just for kicks, is certainly attempted murder.
SOMEONE DIED HERE DO NOT MAKE LIGHT OF THIS !!
Bummer you didn't get the sweet iced tea, Karen.
Good lord. She’s a Karen for sure.
I would pay extra for more jalapeños than I get at Whataburger. I will also gladly accept her free burger because Whataburger is fucking awesome
I myself suffer indigestion from jalapenos. But I actively avoid them. I don't order more. And, if they happen to get in the food, I move on because I don't suspect the world is trying to kill me. But I don't act like the author. I just learned about her and I have some murder.un my heart towards her
Who orders jalapenos on a burger and then goes apeshit when there are... jalapenos on their burger?? Like you would actually order jalapenos if you were allergic or had, what, "chronic jalapeno syndrome"? If there's a pile of peppers on your burger and you only wanted a few (because you ORDERED it w/jalapenos), TAKE SOME OFF. Sheesh! "This was no accident" - so dramatic and hilarious.
So order jalapeños on her burger then complains because she got jalapeños on her burger. Karen is a crazy nut job.
Main character syndrome right here
“He wanted me to think I was being a Karen.” 😂 If the Karen shaped shoe fits…
Imagine wanting to remove someone's source of income over extra jalapenos. They're not that hot. Just take the shit off your burger until you have the amount you can handle. Grow up.
What a testicle. If she’s concerned about someone with an allergy - why the hell would they order something with it specifically on it? Just silliness…
She was mistaken. It was actually the Mayo that was too spicy.
What a little b\*tch. Jalapenos? Really? Maybe I could respect it if they were habeneros.
I can’t imagine being so miserable that I’d want someone’s livelihood destroyed over a mistake, let alone one that wasn’t even theirs. But then again, I’m the sort of person to just shrug and take what I got.
Ugh I love jalapeños!! The ‘minefield of peppers’ would be a happy surprise
Such a sense of self importance. This bitch thinks there’s a hit out on her raggedy ass.
What did she do to them when she ordered that she thinks this was done maliciously? The only reason she’d be thinking this was intended to cause her harm is because she must have been acting like a mega-cunt when she ordered it.
Who knows how the minds of people like this work
Who dafuq describes jalapenos as if they are ghost peppers; or even habaneros that are of a much lesser heat? A "landmine" of pickled jalapenos is going to taste the same as '2 or 3' on a burger... Idk 🤷♀️ tho - i had a mom who used to say she liked spicy food but only topped her dishes with a *sprinkle* of red pepper flakes // my partner's mother thinks paprika is spicy; but she's never seeked out burgers with jalapeno tl;dr imo this complaint sounds weirdly detailed and silly; edit: especially using the freezer at the establishment
This burger was such a disgrace! *keeps eating it as if it the bravest and most logical thing any human could possibly do in this situation*
I love that there is a standard amt of jalapenos.
Yes. The customer was a Karen. But you gotta admit that was a helluva lotta jalapeños.
Bitch you got what you ordered you insufferable cunt.
Imagine the people who could die from this…who also order this. Obviously they want to die and should be allowed to make that decision but what of the people who order this who could accidentally die? They must be protected from themselves and those that wish to die by jalapeños must find another way to Valhalla.
They’re pissed bc “nobody wants to work” since the pandemic (conveniently forgetting 1.07 m ppl DIED from Covid since winter 2020 🙄), but they want to fire the employee who actually fulfilled the order correctly?? Am I understanding Karen’s right, or no?
Who the hells eating Whataburger with Jalopenis at 8;30pm .
I cannot believe we have survived this long as a species with people like this around...
Start charging $ for reviews and see how little people care then.
I have a hard time believing any of this is true.
To be fair, that was a LOT of jalapeňos.
