What's up with the rise of these "Karen restaurants"? One just opened up in my city.

Has experiences just become another consoomtion? Is this what ppl mean when they consoom "experiences"

Yet these same types who go to these places would be the same types to try and cancel any other place if they were talked to rudely.

There's all sorts of "cafes" like that in Japan that get hyped up on the internet, but in reality they are all terrible. I've never been to a tsundere cafe, which is what you're describing, but I've been to maid cafes and other themed bars and such that feel extremely tacky and borderline illegal. They are usually pretty small venues that change hands every few months, huge cover charges and drink prices and in the end you just feel like you were at a stripclub.

What a backward place, they don't even understand their own gimmick. Karens are customers who are rude to employees and demand to speak to managers. This should be a diner where you get to abuse the staff, not where the staff abuses you.

These restaurants exist because millennials are huge soyboy faggots. A generation that never had any soul or their own style so they have to copy styles and costumes from the past to larp in them.

And to add on to this. If you want to get a rude waitress just go to a Waffle House or some other shitty restaurant in some shitty town filled with fentanyl and opioid addicts. There is a 50% chance you will get a real rude waitress because her life is shit and she has no future.

I believe these places are for people who don't actually banter or shoot the shit with other people in their lives because they work in strict office spaces and hang around sensitive people. Anyone here blue collar knows banter is frequent in our work places. Always berating each other and calling each other terrible things, rampant racial slurs, etc but it's all in good nature. Same thing with my buddies and even my wife. I guess that's why places like these seem so strange or lame to me because it's an every day thing for myself and others that are actually exposed to shit talking being dished out. Would honestly have to hold back and probably break rules 1 and 2 if I ever went. It's basically a blue collar larp for fragile s0y fags fags
