Dallas ‘Karen’ throws a fit – and food – during mask meltdown
This “Karen” threw way more than just a fit.
A Texas supermarket shopper has gone viral after tossing more than a dozen items from her grocery cart in an infantile fit of rage — all because she was asked to put a mask back on.
“I don’t give a f–k, I’m from Dallas!” the unidentified shopper ranted as she angrily flung items from her cart at least 14 times in the 27-second clip seen almost 17 million times by Monday.
She complained about “dumbass motherf—ing rules and your dumbass motherf—ing s–t,” admitting it was all “over a dumbass motherf—ing mask!” — with one clearly in her left hand.
“Put all that s–t the f–k back,” she shouted, with most of the groceries appearing to be fresh meats as she stood in the express lane despite having a cart full of items.
“I don’t give a f–k. I got a f—ing mask,” she said of the one in her hand, only further highlighting the apparent absurdity of her tirade.
She finally stormed off — yelling, “Now clean that s–t up.”
Omar Guillen, who recorded the video posted early Sunday, said it happened in a Fiesta Mart in Dallas. “She was wearing [a mask] while she was shopping but by the time she got to the checkout line she took it off and refused to put it back on,” he explained.
“She was told cops would be called but did her tantrum and left before they showed up. As for what happened after, I have no idea,” he tweeted.
It quickly went viral, in part from being shared by model Chrissy Teigen, who complained, “I’m so tired of people, man.”
It sparked dozens of outraged comments on Twitter, with most deeming her the latest “Karen,” a term for entitled women throwing tantrums.
Some just joked that even if she escapes charges — or having to pay for the ruined items — she might still live to regret her fit.
“Wait until she gets home and remembers that she needed groceries,” one person tweeted.
Another, Sage Rosenfels, agreed, saying, “To think that it takes two seconds to put on a mask, and now she has to drive to another grocery store and buy the same s–t which will take another hour or two.”
Fiesta Mart did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
