Everyone who has worked in food service knows that Karens are the worst. They confront you about the littles things (sometimes for no reason at all), they belittle you at every opportunity, and they are constantly asking to see the manager, hoping to see you punished for just doing your job. The worst part, you have to take it all without the slightest hint of sass, or else your the bad guy in your employer's eyes. But what if you worked at a restaurant that would not only take your side, but actively encouraged sassy behavior? That's were my idea comes in, "The Haven from Karen Dinner and Grill".
Inspired by a Hungarian restaurant from State College, PA, that would paddle guests that didn't finish their food; this Dinner's staff is encouraged to finish every customer interaction with a bit of sass. They are encouraged to welcome every guess with a sarcastic remark like "welcome to Haven From Karen, would you like to add a few more pounds today?" and the like. And if a customer is giving an employee a hard time, the employee uses a bell that is provided, and rings it while shouting for the whole restaurant to hear "we have a Karen here, a cold blooded Karen Here who would like to speak to the manager!" But don't worry if your name is Karen and you're a decent person, because if you provide ID that proves your name is Karen (or Kyle for any men that enter), and you're willing to have the employee announce it to the restaurant, you'd get a special discount, or get you meal for free (as long as your a nice person to the employees).
What do you think of my restaurant idea? Do you think it would catch on? What would you do differently? Let me know in the comments.
