A restaurant where staff will be trained to insult and be rude to customers is hiring for its first Welsh location. Self-proclaimed "bad service" chain Karen's Diner is set to open in Newport's Friars Walk Shopping Centre in February, having boomed in popularity since first opening in Sydney, Australia in 2021.
The restaurant has become a Tik Tok sensation for its deliberately rude staff whose job it is to chuck menus by your feet, insult customers and force diners to play games as you tuck into your burger and chips. The restaurant is now advertising for servers and kitchen staff at its soon-to-open Newport location, for those of you who pride yourselves on quick-witted quips and insults.
If you're interested in applying though, be warned - it's not enough to just be "absolutely awfully rude." In its Facebook post advertising the roles, Karen's Diner said: "Well it’s about bloody time we recruited, you lot have been well an truly polluting my DMs, BEGGING me for a job. Well, here’s your chance. We are recruiting kitchen staff, and Karen servers."
