If I had an artisinal shop of any kind in America, I'd have an emergency button under the counter that lights up an enormous neon sign behind me that says "NO!"

IMO that perception is just the result of the Internet being English language centric and Americans making up the majority of English speakers online. We have a disproportionate impact online. So whenever you hear about a Karen, she is probably in America because most of the time you hear about something it’s from America.

I haven’t seen data on the issue but I’d imagine the data would probably just reflect that humans are humans no matter where you are.

In my personal experience I haven’t seen this kind of behavior much, then again I don’t work retail.
