In the four-minute-long video, which went viral on Reddit Wednesday and earned Autenrieth “Karen” status, Autenrieth is waiting in line before calling out to employees at the cash register about why she is not being tended to.
She announces that she’s in line about three times, while two cashiers ignore her and go about their business.
“Excuse me, you’ve seen me here several times before I’m trying buy groceries for my family,” Autenrieth says.
