The barista, Lenin Gutierrez, unexpectedly came into the money following an encounter last week with Amber Lynn Gilles, a self-described activist and yoga instructor in San Diego. Gilles took to Facebook to express her indignation over Guiterrez's suggestion that she follow the company's and county's public health mandate by wearing a mask. She posted a photo of Gutierrez, writing that he "refused to serve me cause I'm not wearing a mask. Next time I will wait for cops and bring a medical exemption."
The outburst prompted an immediate backlash on social media. including critics who labeled Gilles a "Karen," now used as cultural shorthand for white women acting entitled in public.
