TOLEDO, OH—In an effort to balance the scales of karma, local bank teller Megan Price, 29, has reportedly been administering her own form of subtle retribution by deliberately handing rude customers’ children the most divisive lollipop flavours imaginable.

“If a parent rolls up with an attitude, acting like I personally repossessed their car, I don’t argue,” said Price. “I just smile, process their transaction, and hand their kids a root beer Dum Dum and a blue raspberry Dum Dum—two flavours scientifically proven to start fights.”

According to sources, Price takes great care in selecting lollipops that will cause maximum discord in the backseat. “Kids are territorial. They’ll fight over anything, but if I give them two lemon-lime, that’s a fair match,” she explained. “But root beer and blue raspberry? Oh, that’s chaos waiting to happen.”

Customers who are polite, on the other hand, reportedly receive universally beloved flavours like cotton candy and watermelon.

“I’m a firm believer in karmic consequences for the blooming of the lotus has its time, so too does the shrivelling of the lotus,” Price placidly nodded.

At press time, Price was seen watching a particularly difficult customer leave, a knowing smile gently forming as she imagined the impending car ride meltdown. “That’s what you get for sighing loudly when I asked how you wanted your cash back,” she murmured, the desire to watch the world burn shimmering within her still pulsing heart.
