I think that’s the point of the gift. They know you’re not a “Karen” when it comes to the stereotype, but your name is Karen.
I think it was meant as a light hearted joke and compliment.
Funny because feeling butthurt about this pretty Karen.
That’s funny. Get super mad and prove them wrong.
You should complain to their manager about it.
The joke is that you're not a typical "Karen".
They’re saying “sorry your name is Karen since all the other Karen’s give the name a bad reputation”
Yes it was joke because they are saying you’re the opposite of what a “Karen” acts like.

I get it. Tell them thank you and know that many of us also see how inappropriate this was. The joke is not funny and the amount of people thinking it is ok to justify this like it is a funny social meme and you are not someone with feelings is alarming.
🙄
Playing devil’s advocate, I might light-heartedly confirm with them that they don’t think you have Karen tendencies. Sometimes people use humor to convey what they’re really thinking. Be prepared for what you get back either way.

Ehh there are worse things to be offended about. I personally don’t waste my energy on little things like this. I would laugh and move on lol.
The irony is, the fact that you cant take the joke makes you a Karen. lol
