While the word ‘Karen’ is usually associated negative connotations, one restaurant in Australia turned it into a brilliant marketing gimmick where staff are given full rein to act like absolute b*****s to customers and not get punished for it.
This restaurant named Karen’s Diner is located at major cities in Australia and the UK and features a signboard with an angry emoji along with the iconic ‘Karen’ hairstyle on it.

Karens, attack!
To give those residing outside of Australia and the UK a glimpse of how customers are served at the restaurant, a blogger named Xixiplease recently posted a TikTok video about her experience there which has garnered 18.4 million views so far.
At the start of the clip, Xixiplease and her boyfriend are greeted by a grumpy waitress wearing a red and white polka dot apron who asks them whether they’ve made a reservation.
When they said yes, the waitress tells them rudely to wait and saunters off, leaving the couple in amused disbelief.

After taking a seat at the restaurant and scouring through the menu, Xixiplease and her boyfriend tried getting a waiter to take down their orders.
Instead of heeding to their request, the waiter turns around and flips the middle finger while replying “How about f***ing wait. Bossy b****”.

Aside from the uncouth responses, another quirky feature of Karen’s Diner is that every staff’s nametag is replaced with words that describe unpleasant individuals such as “douche” and “nog”.
