American here. When we were in Subway, half a dozen young teenage boys came in. While a couple were ordering, a couple of others were shoving the mouths of their empty Coke bottles up into the ice dispenser and then into the soda dispenser. What, if anything, would you do and/or say? Thanks in advance for your response!

Well if it’s in the store then surely it’s up to staff to monitor what’s going on so I would do nothing but get on with my business.

Oh that’s funny, I get it now, the user name is Karen.

Please don’t use the name Karen in the way it is popularly used these days - as an insult for assertive ladies of a certain age. It is targeted at our age group in particular as Karen was one of the most popular names for baby girls born between 1955-1975. It is not my name but I have known many girls and women called Karen over the years and it is very unpleasant for them.

You are incredibly cynical!

I am yes!

When I call out a dodgy thread (and I’m often the first to put my head above the parapet) I am usually correct.
