When I worked in a restaurant, when a group of women age 50+ comes in, the staff all give a collective sigh and start praying they go in someone else’s section.
Women in that age group are the rudest, most entitled, obnoxious group of people, and also are usually the worst tippers.
I hate tropes like this because it sticks a label on some good people who may look like the losers but are nothing like them. Nevertheless, middle age is a fraught time for men and women who cruised through the first half of their lives on their physical beauty, athletic prowess, and youthful charm. Then boom, one day they wake up and all they had going for them has sagged away on the floor and life isn’t handing them roses anymore. So take pity on the sad old gals, flirt with them a little to remind them of their better days and perhaps you’ll get a better tip.

Not to mention the stigma that goes with the name now. Every person I’ve known named Karen has been lovely. I genuinely feel sorry for anyone with that name.
Most of the vids I see of people flipping out on the staff at McDonald's are loud obese black women.
