In your thread title, you referred to your fellow customer as a “Karen.” This kind of name calling is sexist and racist. Further, there is nothing wrong with requesting someone to back off.

Rather than being so proud of yourself that you did not “engage,” you might ask yourself why you needed to use a derogatory term.

How difficult was it to back up?
