I have done this exactly once in my lifetime, two years ago. Maybe in another few decades, I'll do it again, if I live long enough.

And yes, even if your name is Karen but you had a good reason to ask to speak to the manager, you can also reply

Isn’t this a double edged sword? Depending on the manager or company, an employee can get fired for skirting the rules to accommodate that case, even it it was out of kindness. The customer ends up ratting out the employee for going against the company rules/policy. I guess you were lucky enough the manager was kind.
