Karen\u2019s Diner customer divides TikTok after raging at staff over \u201cbody shaming\u201d joke TIKTOK: bechardgraveAn angry Karen\u2019s Diner customer went viral on TikTok after confronting the staff over a \u201cbody shaming\u201d comment they made. Karen\u2019s Diner is renowned for offering good food and terrible customer service. While customers expect staff to be rude, impatient, and dismissive, the restaurant states that racist, sexist, homophobic, and body-shaming jokes will not be tolerated. One customer, however, recently went viral on TikTok after accusing a server of making a \u201cbody shaming\u201d comment toward him. In a video that has amassed 5.3 million views, content creator Bec Hardgrave recorded her experience at Karen\u2019s Diner in Brisbane, Australia. In her voiceover she says: \u201cMe and my friends went to Karen\u2019s diner, and safe to say I probably won\u2019t come back. \u201cI know they get paid to be mean to you but it was a little too hectic. They were making offensive comments about people\u2019s appearances and they told my friend she needed to brush her hair. How mean is that?\u201d According to Bec, \u201cThe food was OK but get this, they told this guy he had a receding hairline and this is what he did\u2026\u201d The video then cuts to a clip of a red-faced man shouting at the restaurant staff.

No body shaming!\u201d he shouts, while pointing to a sign hanging on the wall. He also calls the server who \u201cbody shamed\u201d him a \u201cf**king fat b*tch.\u201d \u201cThe guy at the end was sooo out of line!\u201d Hardgrave wrote in the video caption, and added in on-screen text how she \u201cfelt so bad for the staff at this point.\u201d TikTok divided over customer raging at Karen Diner staff Some users believed that the server\u2019s comment should be expected in a Karen\u2019s Diner, so customers shouldn\u2019t be offended. \u201cYou should all know the risks before entering. If you\u2019re too soft, don\u2019t eat there,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cDo people not understand the concept on this place? If you\u2019re going to get offended and mad, don\u2019t go- simple,\u201d another added. Others, however, thought that the restaurant had gone \u201ctoo far\u201d and accused servers of bullying customers. \u201cThis restaurant is a mess, it\u2019s not even about being a Karen it\u2019s literally bullying,\u201d one user commented. \u201cKaren\u2019s Diner needs to end, the whole thing is a mess. They break their own rules and boundaries and then act surprised when people are upset,\u201d another agreed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
