The 2 gentlemen were the best customers! People who can laugh it off & see the humor in things are so much more likeable than the entitled, short-fused customers.

[@rogerbrinker420]

The oriental lady was really funny because she wasn't getting the idea of being on candid camera. The gentlemen and the other ladies were real really great about it

[@WonderWhatHappened]

I would hardly call the short-fused customers entitled from what we see in the video but their reaction was funny to watch.

[@GrnXnham]

Yes. I was thinking that you can tell this is old. Years ago people would just go along with something like this and try to make the best of it--try not to rock the boat. Today, people would throw a fit and start swearing and shouting threats. This wouldn't be a FUNNY video if this was done today.

[@kenthomson9562]

It certainly wouldn’t be funny if a millennial sat down at the table. There’d be lawsuits for offending them.

[@owenlawrence670]

@@kenthomson9562 Its funny you say that considering it would be the exact opposite. Millennials and gen zers would just sit and eat quietly because they dont want to treat any minimum wage worker badly. Gen x and baby boomers would be the ones crying like the Karens they are.

Sadly,. the wonderful restaurant and the iconic Sportsman's Lodge is being torn down. I remember pop taking me there and watch all the fish in the garden ponds, eat at the excellent restaurant there and play again in the gardens. This video is a tribute to a legend in the San Fernando Valley since I was just a young boy and I'm 67 now. Thanks Peter for reviving an old classic and giving it a great sendoff with your prank video.

[@captainredpill1782]

Yet another excellent Candid Camera production. If I was one of the producers I would have done only two things differently. Suppose one of the customers asked for a set of silverware that wasn't chained to the table. The waiter would then mention that such a thing would require an immediate advance cash (not credit) deposit from the customer for collateral. Tentatively speaking I would say $30. Also, the producers could have had each piece of silverware hooked up to both a chain and a mini padlock underneath the table. The waiter could the more easily explain to the customers how the silverware was sent to the wash after meals.
