The viral phenomenon Karen’s Diner has opened a branch in Newport, where people pay to be insulted . <\/p>\n\n\n

Karen’s Diner is a Tik Tok craze which started as a small restaurant in Sydney,\u00a0 Australia where\u00a0 premise is simple: ‘Great Food, Terrible Service’.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With more than a million followers worldwide, the chain has spread to the UK, opening its
first Welsh branch in Newport.\"\"

It’s the usual American style diner with milkshakes, burgers and fries but with a rather mean twist of insults and abuse. There’s a vegetarian alarm for those who turn down their burgers , forced karaoke and rude renditions of Happy Birthday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Diners may also be forced to wear paper hats with personalised insults, drink from toilet shaped shot glasses and pick up their menus from the floor.\u00a0 Customers can also expect to have food and drink thrown down on the table next to them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

So why would anyone pay to be insulted?<\/p>\n

The waiting customers queuing outside the diner told me that they had a \u2018weird curiosity\u2019 after seeing the restaurant chain online.<\/p>\n

\u2018Life is too short, why take it seriously?\u2019 one person told me. \u2018It\u2019s my sense of humour, if I\u2019m not crying I\u2019ll be disappointed\u2019.<\/p>\n

Customers filming their experience could even find themselves with a viral video. One TikTok user who filmed their experience at Karen\u2019s and has gained more than 40 million views.<\/p>\n

TikTok is full of customers desperate to visit but the restaurant fully booked for the next four weeks.<\/p>\n

So, if you fancy your burger served with savage insults, then plan ahead because people can\u2019t get enough of Karen and her abuse.<\/p>\n
