A man wearing Birkenstocks with socks publicly went on a rampage with a female Amazon worker, claiming he caught her doing something she wasn’t supposed to.
The gray-haired man, “Karen,” dressed in a long-sleeved shirt and dark sweatpants, held up his cellphone and filmed the Amazon employee at one of the company’s self-service kiosks.
The young woman, who was quietly placing packages in the lockers, had her headphones on and did not appear to be distracted by the grumpy customer.
He joked, holding up his camera: “No! She’s doing something. She’s talking on her phone instead of doing her job,” he insisted.
He said he was “making a video because she said so,” before snapping back and saying, “Ma’am, I’m doing it quietly.”
He then told her that she was “the one interfering” and dared her to throw him out of the building so he couldn’t retrieve his package.

The meltdown went viral on Redding and TikTok
Before the video ends, the man is heard saying, “The point is she’s multitasking while on the phone when she should actually be finishing the task.”
He barked, “She’s wasting her time talking on the phone,” then insisted he could hear other people’s voices on the phone.
Before the video abruptly ends, you hear him scream, “No!”
The meltdown was captured by someone else in the building, who then posted it to Redding and TikTok, where the clip went viral.
It is unclear where in the country the video was recorded and whether there are any consequences for the worker or the screaming man.
Many people online claimed that the man was acting like a bully or just a spoiled brat.
‘Man is really upset because he has to wait a few minutes for his package. That’s how spoiled people have become,’ they wrote. ‘OMG I have to wait another 2-3 minutes, my whole day is ruined!’
Another said, “I would take a break right then.”
Others found the man’s freakout humorous. One wrote: ‘He orders something he doesn’t want his wife to know about.’
