Karen is hip-lip the kids are all using for a bitch that just has to talk to the manager... especially when it involves employees who make minimum wage or less. "I'd like to talk to your manager, NOW!"
Of course it also extends to basically "self-entitled b*tch who thinks everybody owes her & she & hers are the only one with any rights." Not exclusive to fast-food customers, but often does manifest there just due to attitude.

Law enforcement can be inherently prejudicial. If you dress up a little, it helps. Just enough so the good officer wonders, who is this guy in the jacket and tie? They don't want to hassle the senator's son or the mayor's nephew, or some partner in a law firm. That gives you just enough time to establish yourself as okay, if you do. Keep your hands in view, etc. It's much worse now, I think. In the Navy, in civvies, I dozed off in a park against a tree after too much vodka (not much, but that's me). Plenty of people around, and some police. No one had a problem, but that was the Age of Aquarius. They figured if he's asleep, he won't cause any trouble. Not today.

I also work in manufacturing. I started at the bottom and over 10yrs of working hard and learning to get to where I am now in the engineering dept. I have 2 degree's and dont use either one. At the end of the day its hard work and motivation to do better
Good for you man. I personally prefer to get paid to learn, not pay to learn.

This is the most ignorant thing I’ve read on this forum.
nope still goes on .. Chicago PD is the absolute worst at it.

the problem is that as a job it attracts nerd-losers who in high school got ripped on or bullied.
They then do the same thing to those who they police as "payback" for getting swirlies.

ever notice half the last names are things like "PENISHEIMER" or Officer "COLON". etc

Give it time... I am sure I can top that on an ignorant level. But, I don't want to sound like I am bragging... but...

Are you an arson investigator? Curious, because aresone and arson... you know. I had a very good friend who was an arson investigator on here. Ashdigger. Do you know him? You know, cause arson investigators may all know each other, and ones that also smoke pipes, for sure.. You'd probably have a lot to talk about. or if you are just an arsonist, then maybe... I digress, I digress.

Trust me I support good cops and good policing practices 100%. You can’t deny that being a police officer also attracts a certain demographic who aren’t in it to “serve and protect” but rather have some control or power.

I also apologize if your last name is Penisheimer.
