Really taken off. https://www.bemorekaren.com/locations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen's_Diner?wprov=sfti1 Can we not file 'karen' alongside other snide terms such as 'woke'? Just a new insult to beat a section of society around the head with, whether it fits or not? I would argue it has racist undertones as well. Also, surely the place can't be an equal opportunities employer, given those undertones?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lethargy Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Going by the logo and web/FB presence (and bizarre choice of header image), this doesn't seem to be affiliated with the larger chain that John's linked to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wright Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 It’s enterprising. I’ll give it a go. Quite like bizarre theme restaurants. I’ve a favourite drag show restaurant in Barcelona where the waiters are also the show girls. Theres a really good “dark” tenebris & lux restaurant I go to in Sofia, everything served and eaten in the pitch black. I just don’t think there’s sufficient market here for it to last long. Is it sexist or racist? I don’t think so. Is it poking fun, yes of course. Is it tasteless, absolutely! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtleish Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I think the best way to enjoy a Karen experience is to not tell your nan when you take her... 😉 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshoremanxman Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I hope it is in Castletown I’d love to see Tim Glover abused as a “Karen” by an angry waiter or waitress. Maybe they could have a bring your mask night and then relentlessly take the piss out of those like Glover who probably do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I bet it will be packed for at least six months and possibly longer depending on how good the food is and what the prices are like. I must say I have not come across any rude staff in restaurants but a lot of indifferent ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Eddie Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) I feel sorry for the Villa Marina these people will all likely poaching all those expensively trained extra rude staff off government.
