Currently eating in an extremely hipster local café (like, stereotypically so) - not by choice, but family…
It’s run by women, I suspect for women. It’s… I fucking hate it. It’s the kind of place that refused to serve “unwashed” like me, for two years…
But even now, everything has a little sign on it. “Do not touch” this. “Do not walk here”. “Do x, y and z before entering”, “Warning”, and most egregiously of all “You cannot use this table for more than x minutes, depending the value of what you order”…
Woke shit everywhere. Mostly black American woke shit, which is extra annoying, in Australia…
Eugh…
I can tolerate the rest, but all the micromanaging fucking signs, all over this junk-filled shithole, it’s very… In your face.
They just love their petty little rules, don’t they?
Wow I can't imagine that sign existing here. The most you see here is of the "buy something or get out" variety, sometimes worded a little more politely sometimes not.
Which is totally fair, anyway.
Australia seems much worse than America as bad as we are for wokeness.
The Western world mimics the worst characteristics of the US and amplifies them.
It was more benign when all they mimicked was pop culture.
