Karen's diner - human de-volution is here. - Lilith7 - 23-09-2022

Not so much due to the 'diner' but to the use of the term 'wait staff'.
Apparently, it is now far too difficult to use words of more than one or at most, two syllables, even if that means mutilating an existing word to do it - I give you 'hospo', a new term meaning (probably) hospitality.
No clue as to what an ex 'burrito artist' might be, but then they're Australian...

I would walk out after the meal without paying, tell them to sod off and that Karen was paying for it.

Isn't "Burrito" the artistic poodle that has gone missing in the Botanic Gardens?
