Being a Karen is more about "how" you complain rather than "what" you complain about.

(With exceptions, complaining about race etc makes you a Karen too.)

But in the context of a restaurant, well mannered complaints are often well received and encouraged. If the food arrives cold, let the server know. Politely. Calmly. The restaurant wants to know, they want to fix the problem.

Leaping to your feet, throwing the food on the floor, and making a scene out of proportion to the offense is what turns you into a Karen.
