‘Navy SEAL Karen’ Seen Berating Coronado Coffee Shop Barista – Oops

| July 22, 2020

A Navy SEAL apparently upset over being told to wear a face mask on Sunday at a Southern California coffee shop berated a barista and threatened to tell the entire West Coast SEAL community to avoid the establishment, according to a viral video that appeared online this week.

A Reddit post titled “Navy SEAL Karen loses it at restaurant worker” showed a portion of the incident, which was filmed at Clayton’s Coffee Shop in Coronado, California.

“If I ever see that guy again and if he talks to me like that, I will never, ever…” the man said in the video. “I will tell everyone at the [SEAL] teams never to come back here again, including the dudes in BUD/S,” he added, using the acronym for the initial SEAL training course, Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL.

 

It remains unclear exactly what happened before the sailor’s outburst. The video suggests the man took offense at a male barista’s remarks before filming began.

However, an employee of the shop told Task & Purpose the man was told to wear a face mask due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

“I’m not getting coffee here. I’m going over to Starbucks, which I can’t stand,” the man added in the video.A Navy spokesman confirmed the man was a sailor assigned to the Naval Special Warfare Command but declined to offer more specifics. The incident is currently under investigation.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) issued a statewide order in June making it mandatory for people to wear face masks when out in public in California.

In the video, a face mask is seen dangling from the man’s left ear. The man later claimed to be a member of SEAL Team 7, which is based at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado. Stroup, the Navy spokesman, declined to say whether he was a SEAL, citing operational security.

On the local Coronado Happenings Facebook group, a woman posted the video and said her daughter worked at Clayton’s. “They are all trained to *politely* ask customers to don masks in close quarters,” she wrote. “This is the nonsense a 17-year-old girl barista has to endure from customers who don’t like it.”

The management of Clayton’s Coffee Shop did not respond to a request for comment from Task & Purpose. However, shop owner Mary Frese wrote in a Facebook post that “there was an unfortunate event that occurred yesterday at our Coffee Shop takeout window. The continuous resistance to wearing masks has been disheartening.”

“We respectfully ask all of our guests to comply with California’s orders to wear masks when at our establishment, and have given permission to our staff to respectfully require this of all guests,” Frese added.

It seems this young Sailor is getting hammered by the SEAL community at the moment.   I wonder what kind of motivational duties he will be assigned to achieve an altitude adjustment.  That would be a video worth watching.

We a 100% voluntary mask participation at the proud but humble woman owned business that sells software to the Federal Government formerly located in Bethesda Maryland. Not as a matter to prevent the transmission of Corona Virus, but most employees are embarrassed being seen entering or exiting the business. Most of them park their vehicles in the driveway of the crackhouse down the street and skulk over to the office.

Negative. “affirmative action” is now known as “strength in diversity”. Qualifications are like so last week.

I see she has been issued the new Navy work uniform with built in flotation devices.

Just one more bit of anecdotal evidence that the alleged higher standards of the all volunteer military aren’t all that high.

Someone should giver her a Snickers Bar, and if no Snickers Bar are available, a gorilla cookie from a 20 year old MRE.

Looks like she’s been eating Snickers Bars, like a lot of them.

But hey, the ship didn’t sink when she stepped on board, so she’s within regs right?

Don’t they have chain of command photo walls on ships? There’s a guy named “Trump” somewhere in those photos.

Maybe she was talking about some other Trump?

This is one of those times it would be nice to know what’s going on behind the closed hatch.

Truth. I never knew a command fitness/PRT coordinator who wasn’t on the, “Food For Freedom” plan at some point.

I totally disagree with otherwise healthy people being required by the government too wear masks.
That being said, just like a business should have the right to refuse to bake a “wedding” cake for a couple of dudes, it damn sure has the right to require whatever apparel they want to enter their establishment. If I have a problem with the requirements a business establishes, I decide if it’s worth it to me to comply and enter, or just walk away. If i feel strongly enough, I will call / write the ownership of the company, but under NO circumstances is it appropriate to take out your frustration / aggression on some poor employee who is just following the rules set out by the management / owner.
Whatever else this guy might be, his behavior in this situation is larsian level douche.

^Ditto^ all of the above. K Roger just wen to a mandatory mask in their stores. OK, if that is what it takes to spend my money. My shopping just turned into, going in, grabbing what I need and GTFO.

Even if the dumbass doesn’t know/realize that cameras are everywhere, common sense/decent up bringing/hometraining should tell one to behave oneself in public. Oh…wait…never mind. Common manners has become an uncommon occurrence.

I’d like to see that video myself, Dave.

The Other Whitey

I don’t get why some people insist on creating a spectacle. I’ve had several people piss me off in public. I never once made a scene, though. I simply said (at normal conversational volume) to the offending vendor “Fuck you, then. I’ll take my money elsewhere.”

Even when a car dealership had ripped me off with a bait & switch scam, I didn’t make a scene. I told the receptionist (who was being a rude cunt) that I needed to speak to her boss, then told the boss that I was leaving the truck they tried to stick me with and taking the money they tried to screw me out of. I was extremely pissed, but didn’t raise my voice or make any attempt to draw the attention of others. He tried to deny any dishonesty and tried to sweet-talk me into accepting another vehicle. My response, though profane, was still discreet enough to not draw interest from bystanders. I advised him that this was not a negotiation, all money and property was reverting to where it had been that morning, at which point I would be going on my way and he, his slithering sales rep, and that cunt receptionist could fuck right off. Twenty minutes later I had a full refund check in my hand as I walked out the door. There were dozens of people in the room who were none the wiser as to the topic of conversation. It was none of their business anyway.

MSG Eric

Which is really the best way to look at it. Someone’s private business wants customers to wear masks. Fuck the douchebag governor, who gives a crap what he wants.

Respect someone else’s private business. If he didn’t have a mask, be nice and ask if they can bring him the coffee outside, etc etc.

I’m sure in 10 years he’ll be writing a book about this.

It’s fucking coffee. Head over to the Exchange, but a coffee maker for $19, head over to the commissary and pick up a can of ground coffee for $8, $1.98 for coffee filters, and that $30 investment should keep you wired for about a week. Of course, your chances of running into Chandler, Joey and Ross in your living room are greatly diminished.

So “Karen” as a racist derogatory term can now be applied to either sex? Thot it only applied to white women.

“as a racist derogatory term”

You whined about that a few threads back.
Wiki makes the same lame argument.

It’s a funny as hell moniker that I had not heard of
until recently. Nothing racist about it. It applies
to wide variety of people no matter the tint of their taint.
I personally know quite a few of them and I wish the term
were around long ago. The yuppie years in particular.

Wearing masks should be second nature. They wear it during SCUBA, on HALO, and oftentimes a balaclava during door kicking & ship boarding.

Hmmm. Said SEAL must have been deployed. It’s mandatory to wear a mask inside a public space in Cali. Sucks, but it ain’t worth earning an epic Callsign.

Hack Stone

You would think that after the 10,000 public meltdowns over wearing a mask have gone viral (pardon the pun) on Al Gore’s Amazing Internet, people would realize that even if you are right, and you usually are not, you will lose in the court of public opinion. You don’t have to like it, but you have to deal with it. The snowflakes will just have to accept that Donald Trump is the President until at least January 2017, and others have to accept that if they want to appear to be “hip and with it” to pay $6 more for a cup of coffee here than at 7- Eleven, wear a mask.

When you don the mask you risk the dreaded eye contact.

Having been overseas with a lot a hijabs around does makes it easier to tell if the girl wearing the mask is cute.
