What precisely does one name a male “Karen?” A “Ken?” A “Scott?” A “Brad?”
How a few “James Iannazzo?”
I assume that final one is somewhat too particular, however Iannazzo is actually a person who checked off all of the “Karen” packing containers in a Tik Tok video that just lately went viral exhibiting him accosting a bunch of teenage staff at Robeks smoothie store in Fairfield, Connecticut.
Iannazzo—who was arrested and charged with intimidation based mostly on bigotry or bias, breach of peace and felony trespass behind the incident—claims he directed the workers to not put peanut butter within the smoothie he had ordered for his son. However the staff stated he by no means stated something about his youngster’s peanut allergy (as a result of merely not utilizing peanut butter will not be sufficient to make sure his son doidn’t have a response), in order that they didn’t take the correct precautions whereas making ready the smoothie, which is why Iannazzo’s son reportedly needed to be rushed to the hospital.
As Uncooked Story famous, “for these with extreme allergy symptoms, utilizing a spoon or pitcher that touched peanut butter may be lethal,” and “usually when meals service employees are advised that there’s a extreme allergy, extra measures are taken.”
However as a substitute of getting the foresight to not order something even peanut-related for a child with a peanut allergy (as a result of…duh), Iannazzo determined the teenagers who work on the store had been those at fault, and being the entitled He-Karen that he’s, he determined the reply was to try to drive his approach into the “staff solely” space and to begin verbally abusing the employees when that didn’t work.
“Silly f*cking ignorant highschool children,” Iannazzo could possibly be heard saying to the workers after he didn’t get his approach. He additionally known as certainly one of them a “f*cking b*tch,” and one other an “immigrant loser.”
“There was one lady, she was 16. Actually, it was like her second day,” the one who posted the unique TikTok video defined, in accordance with Uncooked Story. “She was within the again, already known as the police.” The Tik Toker additionally stated two staff had been pressured to dam the worker door as a result of “earlier than I began recording he tried to get in a number of instances.”’
Moreover being arrested and charged, Iannazzo additionally misplaced his job as a top-ranking Merrill Lynch dealer over the incident. In accordance with Advisor Hub, a spokesperson from Merrill Lynch confirmed Iannazzo’s firing saying the “firm doesn’t tolerate conduct of this sort.”
“We instantly investigated and have taken motion,” the assertion continued. “This particular person is now not employed at our agency.”
In the end, these Karen’s and their Karen husband’s are going to study that cameras are in every single place today and that their racism, entitlement and violent conduct won’t be tolerated.
