In Japan one restaurant prides itself on its rudeness

[@kokonana4086]

So true by the end that it's hard to be rude in Japan where politeness has been deeply ingrained in their culture.

[@Hay8137g]

They are crazy

[@RudieObias]

So they moved a restaurant from America to Japan 😅

[@pwp8737]

Have you ever been to a restaurant in America? The service is very hospitable; the server's living depends upon it.

[@jacksilver930]

@@pwp8737 I've been to restaurants where the waitresses have behaved that way here in the USA. It's very common, unfortunately. It's why I don't enjoy eating out anymore.

Only U.S. Karens do this lol.

[@headreallyhurts]

meh, in NYC this is normal behavior and no one laughs. It's like a comedy restaurant and like so many things in Japan for show. There used to be a comedy club in Brooklyn called Crazy Country Club (CCC?) that was famous for this, their motto was "Warm Beer, Lousy Food" (it was all a routine, but we loved going there to be insulted LOL)

Rudeness is a social construct. What Americans do every day is considered "rude" in most countries.

[@123spleege]

So true. Rude and disgusting.

[@teamshaboobalu2887]

I am American and I agree. Most Americans could care less about manners, but I am an exception to that rule ;) Japan has the U.S. outclassed any day!

[@joeybaseball7352]

This is normal where I'm from. Fonding a polite restaurant is the challenge here.

[@pandersonnike]

Unique theme style restaurants is so big in Japan. I can see why this concept is successful since it's something unique for the customers. I do appreciate how after the service ends, they say goodbye normally and tell people it's an act.

[@Kaydark]

I get why people like it. It's one of the rare times people are being honest, without the Mystique of politeness that is Japanese Society.

[@ChrisAlbertH47]

_"It's one of the rare times people are being honest, without the Mystique of politeness that is Japanese Society"_ - I'm assuming you've never lived there. I did. Them being polite has nothing to do with dishonesty. Treating others with respect is simply a societal expectation (some might call it responsibility). There is nothing dishonest or disingenuous about being treated with respect because it's not about manipulation, it's about expressed values.

[@irishbrneyes6978]

Dick's Last Resort in Las Vegas is like this. You'll need to have thick skin in order to enjoy it, but I've seen videos of people eating there and it's insane😂

[@savethezombies]

This restaurant service is unusual, but I love Japanese food and would eat here.

[@angelinamclaughlin-heil]

There was a restaurant like this in the Chicago suburbs called Ed Devevichs or something like that.

[@Czzz]

Yes..Ed Debevics in Chicago was first thing to come to mind. Opened in 1984

[@mandcbruce]

Ed's immediately sprang to my mind. Bob Odenkirk worked there!

[@hoosierbaddy3052]

Yeah, there was one in Los Angeles. I was trying to remember their name when it comes to customer service. Servers wear buttons that say, ‘eat and get out’.

[@JustinCase780]

Yea, it was a legend with hysterical actors and comedians riffing. 😂

[@romstar]

This is so unnecessary😢 I can stay home if i want to be insulted 😭😂

[@Lonewolfmike]

Went to a Dick's Last Resort in San Antonio and it is similar and we had a blast. We even got the waitress to throw a bunch of straws at us. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can't even imagine being treated rudely is a strange, unique and wanted experience. Japan is bizarro America.

[@westernfilet]

In America we could do the opposite, have nice servers. ;) J/K you all do hard work!

[@MC-nc1ib]

In their country rude behavior is so rare that they are willing to spend money to get it.

[@StarZendonna1687]

Even though restaurants are meant to be perfect and pleasant I don’t think this would be approved.

[@Seekthetruth3000]

Basically, it is a comedy club.

[@teamshaboobalu2887]

Exactly!

[@ChrisAlbertH47]

Considering that they are one of the most polite society I've ever lived in, this must be quite the curio

[@anthtan]

Such a concept could ONLY work in a super polite society. There would be no refreshing novelty effect otherwise.

[@shegegirl]

We have Dick's Last Resort here in Dallas,TX. Don't go if you're too sensitive.

[@TheTrueOnyxRose]

There was only one restaurant I know of that was like that. It was called Roxy’s in Portland Oregon. And yes, it was popular then too. Unfortunately Portland has changed, and the restaurant changed hands, and then closed.

[@thisguy73]

Now do this in NYC - the reason it works there is Japan is a polite society. In America this would lead to gun violence in a matter of hours in this establishment.

[@Lonewolfmike]

I've been to a play similar called Dick's Last Resort in San Antonio. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Drakholm]

This would be difficult to pull off in the U.S. Super great service exists but it's not the norm. People will eat somewhere knowing ahead full well that the service is iffy but the food is bomb. Rudeness is too commonplace to be sold as a feature lol.

[@Skelea_tor]

There’s a restaurant called Dick’s Last Resort that does exactly that. Dunno how the food is, never been there

[@bambooblue74]

All you have to do is visit a restaurant in the US if you want to experience rudeness.

[@jameshodge1517]

It's refreshing for Japan😅 It's like Japanese Saturday Night Live!😂😂😂 Japanese Chef Ramsey!!!❤ 😂😂😂

It’s hard to stomach that the younger generation prefer rudeness over kindness.

[@outlanderfrog]

Maybe because it's not true? No one prefers to be mistreated. But in Japan politeness is more important than kindness anyways. I can see why they would want a brief reprieve. But as demonstrated at the end of the video, they know it's an act.

[@michaelmonthey5974]

@@outlanderfrog I’ll put it another way. It’s hard to believe that rudeness would be a bigger social media sensation than kindness.

[@outlanderfrog]

@michaelmonthey5974 Fair, but I still think it's about the unique experience. As she said, it's like a theme park. It's their shtick that draws customers, as it were. Mr. Beast and other channels that give money and gifts to people in need are still very popular. I'd say kindness still has a place.
