Woman Dubbed 'Panera Karen' Argues Pants Can't Stop Farts, So Masks Won't Prevent COVID-19

A woman has been dubbed "Panera Karen" after she explained that since pants can't mask the smell of farts, a mask isn't going to protect you against COVID-19.

We've got another wild Karen sighting.

The New York Postreports a white woman has been dubbed "Panera Karen" following an incident inside a Panera Bread in California earlier this week where she got confrontational with employees and a nearby customer after they refused to serve her because she wasn't wearing a mask. In a video captured by an onlooker, a man, identified as William See, asked a worker to "get this lady out of here." Panera Karen responded, "So you're not going to serve me because I'm not wearing a mask?

"No, they're not going to serve you because you're not wearing a mask, that's exactly right," See replied. Words were exchanged with See calling her a "selfish piece of shit," and the unidentified woman intentionally blowing air in his direction. After briefly walking away, she returned to give her absolutely wild reason why she believes wearing a mask doesn't prevent the spread of COVID-19.

"You think that mask is going to protect you?," she said. "You fart out your ass; you can smell it out of your ass. You think that mask is going to protect you?" After imparting this bizarre knowledge(?), Panera Karen walked out of the store.
