Petty or justified?

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. In 2024, we’re more progressive than we ever were before.

Working in the customer service industry is exhausting; Karen customers are a dime a dozen, and they can barely wait to pounce upon their prey, retail workers, upon entering the store. This customer in question may not entirely be a Karen, but she's pretty close. OP was working her shift at the clothing store she worked at when she noticed a woman entering a dressing room with about 6 dresses. The issue was, the woman just didn't come out. Not after 10 minutes, and not after 20. She could be he…
