It's just an Ed Debevic's restaurant knockoff. And Ed Debevic's has been handling this issue since the early '80s. They know when to back off. And they don't berate children because they learned early on that little egos can get easily bruised and end in tears. They pick on adults. Over the years they've cut back what they'll pick on. Age is still game, but weight is less of a thing - I used to catch hell for ordering a burger because I was 20 lbs overweight. They're pretty good at knowing the logical boundaries.
They take a shotgun out and lose it real bad `` I wanted a nice peaceful meal but TO HELL WITH YOU `` bam bam bam Lady `` STOP its just an act`` Shooter `` well dam ``
The “concept” the way it is now, is a hard no from me. I worked in retail for over two decades, I don’t think I’ll ever recover. I think this would be a good thing if the point of it was to highlight the importance of politeness / mutual respect between customers and staff at all times.
exactly, i dont know what this is but it doesnt look very fun. i would be paranoid about them spitting in the food and other things especially if you try to be rude back and they get triggered for real
We had something like this in Phoenix called Ed Debevics about 20yrs ago. It was styled as an American 50's diner and the servers were rude on purpose. It was fun.

@@SheepofTheShepherd-nu3lz Are you AI? Cos' you clearly don't get it. The restaurant is a joke restaurant served by rude ' Karens '. The customers go there to be abused and talked down to . A 'Karen' customer, far from feeling comfortable would feel their point of DIFFERENCE in being an obnoxious Karen would have disappeared. Karen Hell in other words. For them. Karens.

There’s a difference in the world where people are angry and rude and dangerous. This is like going to a show where it’s not gonna physically hurt you you know they’re doing it on purpose so you have a good laugh. That’s the draw.
Yeah it's like those fake zombie experiences you can buy: totally open to abuse when you end up getting actual zombies working there, just so they can bite people. So typical! 🙄😏
Karen's Diner clips have been showing up on my YT shorts. as 'fun' as this place is, i wouldn't be a customer there. when i eat at restaurants or diners, i want to enjoy my meal with *pleasant* surroundings, not pay the waiters to give me insults or attitude.
I wish there was restaurant like this in my city! Nice acting, so real and great fun, nice to know things are opening up ... keep up the good act! Comment from Athens, Greece!
Na not for me, rudeness isn't funny. I'm stressed at what society has become where mutation, only fans and rudeness are celebrated! I often wondered how a successful society like Rome could fall.....now I'm living it, society is definitely devolving.
In France (& half Hong Kong) most tourist restaurants, clubs & stalls everywhere there's full of these like front liners are the daily norm, I read about it but experienced it thrice in Fr & twice in HK
There was a swanky restaurant in Chicago - I don’t know if it’s still around - that was famous for its rudeness. Gotta say, Karen’s Diner is appropriately named!! 😂🤣
Its funny the psychology of Rudeness. Rudeness only hurts when you believe or assume or think the other person insulting you is truly racist or truly hateful or truly mean. An emotionally intelligent person will quickly dismiss comments by people like that because you should never automatically assume you know who someone is. Do you know for certain they are out to get you and are racist mean or hateful? Our brains have to quickly decide if this is a person we should fear and run from or embrace and love which is not possible to do with a person you’ve just met or dont know well. So it comes down to trust. The benefit of the doubt comes in, giving them the benefits of your doubt, being you wont go off on them and assume they hate you or intended to hurt you.Its one of the reasons why a woman may stay with a man that physically abuses her for years, because in her head he loves her and she trusts him just enough. Soin her head the abuse is okay. Its also the reason why if your best friend calls you an idiot you laugh and it somehow brings you closer but if a stranger in the street or a restaurant calls you an idiot you may get angry or offended. You trust and love your best friend but you don't trust or love the stranger. In a restaurant like this your brain trusts these people because they’re upfront and have told you its all a joke. You know that. You’re not left wondering about intent. Whatever they say is ultimately a lie & its novel and you can dismiss them and even laugh about it. It begs us to ask How great would it be if we could first love ourselves enough to immediately reject any comment towards us to the contrary and shrug off comments with unknown intent. Pick your battles, wisely not everyone is as threatening as they may seem.
Sure it gets old after a while, but only for locals. I guess the target customers are the non-locals who would try it just once for the experience. And if the area has unending flow of them then this business would thrive.
Why would anyone pay to go to a food venue and be spoken to or treated like that even if its all for fun apparently. I know i would lose my patience very fast.
For the novelty, I expect. Same reason people would go to a teppanyaki(?) restaurant - the food's pretty alright, but you go more for the performance factor.
@@Osteen529 yeah you might find some rude service at the Mcdonalds oh yes I've experienced some at the KFC also but I can't stand their cardboard tasting burgers. KFC not like they used to be either really disgusting.
So everyone that disagrees with some is now a Karen? Is that the most you’re vocabulary in you’re brain can say How about that some people still use common sense these days? 😂
I took my elderly mother and my two daughters aged 11 and 5 to Karen’s diner in Brisbane. The food was disgusting and there was nothing clever and funny about the rudeness, rather the staff used foul language and insults and my 5 yo didn’t know how to take it. She felt very uncomfortable and wanted to leave. I will never expose myself and my family to such crassness ever again. I can’t believe the money I paid. I don’t allow my children to watch shows or see movies with that level of filth, why would I allow them to be exposed to that in a restaurant?! They need to be more clear about what diners are to expect in order to make better judgements, especially where children are concerned. Thankfully my mothers poor hearing protected her from the degenerates
This is exactly what I said in my comment just from watching this vlog only, that people will be easily taken advantage w high charges on top of abuse & customer' ll be unable to complain etc
Whattttttttttttt loooooooool you gotta be kidding guys Is the restaurant really exists in australia i feel like they re not servicing the people for the food they just wanna a fight with others Looooool I Laughed about the way how the waiters they give the food to them ( What The Hell Bro )
That’s not encouraging for any business If someone spoke to me or treated me that way as a customer I would walk out it will only give businesses bad names and customers have plenty of choice they can go else where all these people branding people as Karen’s if shows how much you lack common sense that the only thing you can reference someone as is a Karen I bet this is an experiment but if people encourage this it will be bad for businesses like this
It's just an Ed Debevic's restaurant knockoff.
