Karen’s Diner heading to town

A hugely successful restaurant chain where wait staff are intentionally rude to customers is headed to Geelong.

According to its website, Karen’s Diner is opening in September in Geelong although its exact location is a mystery.

The diner, which offers burgers, chicken wings, hot dogs and shakes, employs people who are rude to customers on purpose and expects its diners to “give it the full Karen back”.

“From the brave minds at Wonderland Bar & Beyond Cinema comes a diner like no other – expect rude service, singing waiters and regular guest appearances from the manager – the most Karen Karen ever – just don’t dare ask to see her,” the website says.

“This is dining with a twist – the food is great, the service is ungrateful but your experience will be unforgettable.

“This is the anti Google review diner, a place where having 100k on Instagram gets you a naughty sticker rather than a free meal.

“A place where you can complain until the cows come home because we literally don’t care.”

The diner is expected to initially be a pop-up location and if you can prove your name is actually Karen, you get a free drink.
