Haha my city had a Dick’s Last Resort, it was fun!
My favorite story about that place is when my boss and his wife (unknowingly) went there with another couple. They were VERY proper Brits (in the US) in their mid 70’s. The husband of the other couple wanted to know if there were seeds on the sandwich bun . The waitress asked if he was a some kind of F●●●ing expert. The guy goes on to explain he has diverticulitis without batting an eye
I regularly go to a Vietnamese restaurant with work colleagues not only because the food is great, but the entertainment value of the owner berating you for not eating the expensive vegetables or calling you an idiot because you ordered the small drink despite the small price difference is just hilarious. You can tell he isn’t faking it too, the guy really just can’t keep it in. We love it, but I’ve met plenty of people who vowed to never return after the experience.
I feel like if you applied to work there it was because you wanted to be able to berate the customers. While they may be required to do it if they want to do it, then it’s the same as if they did it on their own.
That reminds me of the Amadeus bar in Leuven. The owner was notoriously grumpy and curt. I sometimes went there as a student to play board games. One time he seemed very interested as we were playing, as he was looking at the board. We asked him if he wanted to play with and he just went “No, I’m wondering how much longer this game will take so I can kick you out and close.”
Could easily make it part of the experience.
“Here’s your food, I hope you fucking choke on it you cunt”
I’d go 👍
I went to a restaurant that had this as a gimmick. They were clearly having fun with it though. Rude words with fun delivery.
I think it was dicks last resort.
Ed bevins does this too

This is apparently already a thing. I’ve never been to one but I’ve heard about novelty restaurants where the wait staff demean you while serving you
We have one where they throw rolls at you .
I think of myself as having a pretty good sense of humor and being open to trying a lot of things, but that just sounds… annoying.
If they’re forced to do it then it’s not the same.
“I’m confused, so should I have a chub right now or not? I was expecting some real degrading shit here, c’mon!”

Ed Debevic’s!
We actually
havehad a restaurant like that in Manchester called Karen’sThere’s also Dicks in the US. It’s a chain with a few locations.
That reminds me of the Amadeus bar in Leuven. The owner was notoriously grumpy and curt. I sometimes went there as a student to play board games.

Not sure if it’s still open.
Have you finished the game?
I think we decided to play 3 more rounds and then count the points, as the game was still gonna go on for at least another hour otherwise.
No but I just lost The Game.
So it’s finished! Congrats, you’re free!
