Karen’s Diner slammed for "crossing the line"
Karen’s Diner has been slammed for crossing the line and body shaming a man for his receding hairline.
The popular restaurant popped up and instantly became a sensation where the staff are basically required to be “very rude” to customers.
However, in this instance, the staff at Karen’s Diner in Brisbane went a step too far and made a comment about a man’s receding hairline.
“What’s one thing your f***ing sign says,” the visibly angry man yells at the workers.
“No body shaming,” he said as he pointed to the sign of instructions which must be followed.
At the man’s feet are some napkins and straws which suggest the man may have thrown them in fury.
The video was shared to TikTok by Bec Hardgrav who said that during her time there, the staff were commenting about people’s looks.
“They were making offensive comments about people’s appearances," she said.
“They told my friend she needs to brush her hair, like how mean is that.
“They told my other friend that she was too old and threw cups at us.
“I know they’re paid to be mean to you but it was a little hectic. Safe to say I probably won’t come back."
Some people commented on the video saying that people should not go to the restaurant if they can’t handle the banter.
“You should all know the risks before entering. If you’re too soft, don’t eat there,” someone wrote.
“Karen's shouldn't go to Karen's diner,” another commented.
“Do people not understand the concept on this place? If you’re going to get offended and mad, don’t go- simple,” another wrote.
Others however, were on the man’s side saying he knew the rules more than the staff did and applauded him for his stance.
“Literally the guy at the end is on the right,” someone commented.
“There’s a difference between Karen’s and bullies,” another wrote.
“The guy at the end is well in the right,” someone else wrote.
The Karen’s Diner website also has the house rules which must be followed otherwise people will be asked to leave for breaking them.
“No racist, sexist, homophobic or ableist comments or slurs will be tolerated,” the list begins.
“No body shaming, no sexual harassment, any damage or vandalism of the venue will lead to instant removal from the venue, keep your food and drink on your tables, don’t throw them, it’s not fun.
“Even though this is Karen’s Diner, OHS rules still apply. We are a functioning restaurant so do not interfere with hospitality processes.
“Just sit down, shut up, eat your food and bring on the banter.”
