Lennon, who is a server at Taco Bell, with a following of over 40,000 on TikTok took to the platform to discuss a situation where a customer tried to get petty. \u201cThis guy already had an attitude from the start, and then he was complaining about the prices,\u201d Lennon explains. Lennon claimed that the customer saw his order was going to be 23 dollars, so he went to his car to get \u201csome change.\u201d This confused him, as he\u2019d spotted that the man had a $20 bill in his wallet. \u201cSo I was thinking maybe he\u2019ll get $3, $4 to pay the rest from his car, but he came in with a large bag completely filled up with nickels, pennies, quarters, dimes.\u201d The man instructed Lennon to \u201cjust take out the $23 for the order.\u201d \u201cI told him I wasn\u2019t gonna go through his bag and count it all out, but if he counted it out in front of me, I would accept it, but I was not gonna do it myself. And, of course, he took the bag back and just paid me with cash,\u201d Lennon said. \u201cIf it\u2019s not worth your time to do it, it\u2019s not worth mine, either. So he learned a lesson that day, don\u2019t be rude to others,\u201d Lennon states after getting his revenge. People weigh in on Taco Bell\u2019s \u2018Mr. Karen\u2019 After the video was posted on the platform, people couldn\u2019t wait to give their opinion on the fiasco. Some reasoned that if all people have in their wallet is coins, then it\u2019s okay for them to pay in this way, but, if they\u2019re being purposefully difficult, they should take a hike: \u201cIf that\u2019s all someone truly has I get it, but if they\u2019re deliberately being a dbag then f**k them!\u201d Many joked about the situation, calling the customer the male equivalent of a Karen: \u201cGotta love Mr. Karen.\u201d Another speculated: \u201cOmg he must have been embarrassed,\u201d after Lennon refused to count his pennies. One user defended Taco Bell, saying that the man had no reason to be upset in the first place, and that the prices were reasonable: \u201cComplaining about the price of TB is crazy because you get so much.\u201d Another customer went viral in January, after they raged at staff who added an automatic tip to their bill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taco Bell customer dubbed \u201cMr. Karen\u201d after he deliberately pays server in pennies Taco BellA customer at Taco Bell tried to spite workers by paying in pennies, but his plan backfired as the worker got his revenge.
