Karen Memes

I didn't know that you could rent out churches for birthday parties, or that they had coffee shops
========================================================

.....In a second video, the TikToker said, using the text-to-speech function, that the Karen entered the church while it was "closed to the public" for a private event. The event was a birthday party for the TikToker's boyfriend's 2-year-old nephew.

When the Karen first entered the church, none of the partygoers knew her, but they let her be anyway, the TikToker said. However, the Karen "made herself known" by walking to the party's cooler and taking a drink out of it without saying anything.

"That's when we kind of began to question her and kindly went over to her and asked her if she was supposed to be here," the TikToker said.

Apparently, the Karen became upset and yelled at the people at the party, including the children. The TikToker said the partygoers knew they needed to do something at that point.

In another video, they said they couldn't find the phone number of whoever had rented out the space for the party, so they did the "next best thing" and called the non-emergency police line.

"She was clearly not all there, and we were nervous of what she might do next," the TikToker said of the Karen.

The TikToker said the partygoers kept their distance while waiting 20 minutes for the police to arrive. When the police arrived and began questioning the Karen, she revealed that she was mad because the coffee shop inside the church was closed and she wanted a drink.

According to the TikToker, the church coffee shop closes every day at noon, and the Karen didn't show up until about 4:30 pm. The TikToker said the Karen told the police she wasn't going to leave because she wanted her coffee.........

Coffee shops are actually pretty common in many large churches these days. Church property gets rented out all the time. It's not unusual when churches are struggling to make ends meet to rent rooms on the property. Some even rent the sanctuary for specific larger events. It would depend on the church though. Some denominations frown on that sort of thing while others don't have anything against it.
