Male “Karen” threatens to call the police about a Chick-fil-A client

Male “Karens” are slowly gaining weight and have made their way onto social media. In a viral TikTok, a Chick-fil-A customer filmed another customer, dubbed “Male Karen,” in action in a three-part video.

The series was uploaded by user @shadedbeautybylala, where the first video shows two customers in line at a Chick-fil-A, who are engaged in a heated argument.

In the text overlay, the TikToker explains how the “guy in the red shirt” she dubbed “male Karen” was an “A-hole” to another customer. In the clip, the customer tells the “male Karen” to “be careful who you’re talking to” and asks him if he wants to “go outside.”

Another clerk who wipes tables tells the customer to “keep cool,” to which he replies, “Nah, he’s disrespectful. Don’t tell me what to do Tell him that, he called me an asshole. I’m a grown damn man. Nobody tells me what to do. Someone disrespectful, Imma handle it.”

Most of the conversation becomes incoherent, but the customer tells the “Karen” that he “will see him outside.” The rest of the conversation becomes inaudible. In a second clip, the two appear to still be in a heated argument despite the sound being muted.

The third clip shows “Karen” arguing with one of Chick-fil-A’s managers, prompting him to call the police because the other customer allegedly “threatening” her. The manager kept telling the ‘Karen’ that they wanted to stay out of it, saying, “I can’t call the police because someone was interfering with the line.”

When the “male Karen” turned his attention to his phone, the customer he was having the argument with approached him and said, “The cops won’t come for any of that shit, but they will come for you.” The Customer then comes in his face and follows him to the door as the man leaves. People can be heard in the background saying, “Don’t do it.” The video ends with the “Karen” yelling an incomprehensible threat before exiting the premises.
