You'll be left wishing you'd never asked to speak to the manager.
A 'Karen' for those that missed the memo is a pejorative term for an angry middle-aged woman that takes issue with just about anything.
Generally stereotyped as a Gen X football mum with a blonde bob who has nothing better to do but speak to the manager at customer complaints for hours, the term is not an endearing one, but rather one that's used in a derogative way to describe someone that uses their privilege to get what they want.
We all know a Karen, and when they're in charge- well it doesn't always end well.
Now, it's time to put the Karen in your life in the driving seat and knock them down a peg or two.
All you need to do is sit them down with the 'Karen of all Karens' at this unique dining experience in Sheffield. The Karen Diner is a pop-up venture like no other: expect rude service, singing waiters and many appearances from the manager herself: the Karen.

The hilarious concept promises great food paired with terrible, almost laughable service, so it's bound to be an unforgettable experience. Karen's Diner has described the pop-up experience as "a place where you can complain until the cows come home because we literally don't care" and it sounds far too intriguing to miss.
Even the menu is full of Karen-esque names like 'Karen's Got Beef': a beef burger with overnight slow-cooked smokey BBQ beef brisket with bacon, coleslaw, caramelised onions and honey glazed barbecue sauce and the 'Karen's Bit on the Side': the loaded fries menu.
There's every American Diner classic to choose from: besides the burgers and fries, guests can choose from chicken wings (named 'Karen's Bingo Wings') and sweet treats like Karen's waffle or churros and ice cream.
The drinks menu is just as hilarious: we can't wait to try 'The CEO Karen', a combination of white rum, dark chocolate ice cream and Nutella, or the 'I've been waiting ten minutes for some service' shooters with Kahlua and Baileys.
The hilarious concept promises great food paired with terrible, almost laughable service, so it's bound to be an unforgettable experience. Sheffield will be the first in the UK to experience this unique dinner, after the pop-up had success in the likes of Brisbane and Sydney, where Karen was applauded down under.
The concept repels anything that we'd usually use to find out about it too: it describes itself as an "anti-Google review diner, a place where having 100k on Instagram gets you a naughty sticker rather than a free meal".
Leeds United fans looking for a crisp pre-match pint, you're in luck.
Why? Because new data has revealed Leeds United as one of the Premier League clubs offering the cheapest pints in their stadium
And it's all down to credit card provider Zable, who analysed the average price of a pint at every Premier League stadium.
You'll be glad to know that Leeds United ranked a very respectable eighth among the Premier League teams with the cheapest pre-match pints, with fans paying an average £5.60 at Elland Road.

However, supporters can currently get a cheaper drink at pubs around the stadium, where the average pint costs £4.74.
Ipswich Town have the cheapest pint at £3.50, followed by Coventry at £3.60 and Hull City at £3.90.
The top 10 cheapest stadium match day pints:
Ipswich (£3.50)
Coventry (£3.60)
Hull City (£3.90)
Liverpool (£4.80)
Sunderland (£5.00)
Everton (£5.50)
Newcastle United (£5.60)
Leeds United (£5.60)
Bournemouth (£5.60)
Brighton & Hove Albion (£5.80)
Adam McAllister at Zable says: "For many fans, grabbing a pint before kick-off is part and parcel of the matchday experience, but our research shows that where you choose to drink can make a noticeable difference to the price. While stadium pints are often assumed to be more expensive, that's not always the case.
"With the cost of attending football continuing to add up, from tickets and travel to food and drinks, small differences like these can make a real impact on the overall cost of a matchday. Taking a little time to compare prices before heading to the stadium this season could help fans make their money go further, whether they choose to have a pint at the pub or inside the ground."
Leeds Bradford Airport workers to strike over half term, as industrial action escalates in dispute over pay
Clementine Hall
Strikes by almost 130 workers at Leeds Bradford Airport are set to escalate.
If you're planning on catching a flight from Leeds Bradford Airport, then you may want to double check the date.
Last week it was announced that workers were set to strike and bring the airport to complete standstill in a dispute over pay.
Today it has been announced that thestrikes are set to escalate and a second set of strikes have been announced.
The Unite members planning on going on strike are a mixture of air traffic control workers, customer experience staff, security staff and cleaners.
The workers involved in the dispute have recently come out of a four-year pay deal, with some of the departments having fallen behind other airports in equivalent roles.
Pay talks have been happening since December 2025, with the airport's formal offer not going far enough to address the lack of pay parity.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "It is wrong that workers at Leeds Bradford Airport are paid far less than those doing the same job at another nearby airport.
"These are essential workers who play a vital role in ensuring the smooth running of the airport and the safety of passengers and deserve fair pay. Unite will always fully back our members taking action at Leeds Bradford Airport.”
The original strikes were due to take place from 03:00 this Friday 16 October to 06:00 Sunday 18 October for hourly paid staff and from 06:00 Friday 16 October to 06:00 Sunday 18 October for air traffic control workers.
The next round of industrial action will now take place from Monday 23 October to Wednesday 2 November, which coincides with the busy half term period.
Unite regional officer Neil Whitaker said: “We appreciate those travelling to and from Leeds Bradford Airport will be concerned to hear that there are further strike dates, but the situation is completely the fault of the airport’s management. It can end this dispute, but that relies on it coming back to the table with a fair deal for our members.”
