Woman Refuses to Wear Mask; Claims They’re Useless Since People Can Still Smell Farts Through Pants
At a Panera Bread in California, a woman refused to wear a mask. She claimed that masks are useless in stopping the spread of COVID-19 since people can still smell farts even through pants.
Footage that was taken on Monday shows a woman, dubbed “Panera Karen,” holding her cellphone as she appears to be trying to record while hiding her face. A man standing behind her, identified as William See, chides her and says, “Wow, you’re sure brave. You’re sure a tough one, aren’t you?”
He asks a Panera employee to “get this lady out of here,” and the worker says she has just called security.
“So you’re not going to serve me because I’m not wearing a mask?” the woman asks.
“No, they’re not going to serve you because you’re not wearing a mask, that’s exactly right,” See responds.

The woman is seen in the video holding up her cellphone.
“Just put on a mask, don’t be such a moron,” See says. “You selfish piece of s–t. Get out of here, you’re so f—ing selfish!”
The woman asks See to “stop it’ before blowing air in his direction. See then tells her to “grow the f–k up.”
“You think that mask is going to protect you?” the woman gives her reason. “You fart out your ass; you can smell it out of your ass,” she adds. She then asks, “You think that mask is going to protect you?”
Meanwhile, social media sleuths were trying to identify the woman on early Wednesday.
“Karen is ranting in Panera that masks won’t stop the virus because pants can’t stop farts. We have a scholar on our hands, folks,” said one Twitter user.
