A man wearing Birkenstocks with socks went on a public rampage against an Amazon worker he claimed he caught doing something she shouldn’t.
The gray-haired man named “Karen,” dressed in a long-sleeved shirt and dark-colored sweatpants, held up his cellphone and filmed the Amazon employee at one of the company’s self-service kiosks.
The young woman, who was calmly storing the packages in the lockers, had her headphones on and did not seem to be bothered by the temperamental customer.
Holding his camera, he joked: “No! He’s doing something. He’s talking on the phone instead of doing his job,” he insisted.
He said he was “recording a video because that’s what she told him to do,” before snapping: “Ma’am, I’m doing it quietly.”
He then told her that she was “the one interfering” and challenged her to kick him out of the building so she couldn’t receive her package.
A man named ‘Karen’ wearing Birkenstocks with socks was having a public breakdown at one of Amazon’s self-service kiosks.
The collapse went viral in Redding and on TikTok.
Before the video ended, the man is heard saying, “The point is she’s multitasking on the phone when she should be finishing her homework.”
He shouted: “You’re wasting your time talking on the phone,” before insisting he could hear other people’s voices on the phone.
Before the video abruptly cuts off, he is heard yelling, “No!”
The collapse was captured by another person in the building, who then posted it on Redding and TikTok, where the clip went viral.
It is unclear where in the country the video was filmed, or whether there were any repercussions for the worker or the man who shouted.
Many people online claimed the man was acting like a bully or was simply a spoiled child.
“The man is very upset because he has to wait a couple of minutes to receive his package. That’s how arrogant people have become,” they wrote. “Oh my god, I have to wait two or three more minutes, my day is ruined!”
Another said: “I’d take a break right then and there.”
Others found the man’s nervous breakdown funny. One person wrote: “He’s asking for something he doesn’t want his wife to know about.”
