Hey, you! If being rude, entitled and generally sh*t to people comes naturally, your dream job may have just dropped.

Karen's Diner is looking to hire staff across four major cities in Canada and, yes, you can really be paid to be a d*ck to people.

The pop-up concept thrives on good food with horrible service, and the diner has announced that it'll be touring across Canada in 2023 — and it's now looking for sassy staff in four cities.

As they genuinely put it, "Bring some excitement into your boring life and get paid to tell customers to f*ck off and be a complete and utter d*ck."

It's the dream job, right?

Karen's Diner has confirmed as much on its website, stating "Every day we get stupid DMs from all of you asking for a job at one of our venues."

So if you, or anyone you know, live in Toronto, Victoria, Calgary or Edmonton and have a terrible attitude, here's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get paid to be a complete and utter d*ck.

All you need to do is take ten minutes out of your "boring" life and sign up via the link online.

Karen's Diner had already announced that it would be coming to Toronto this year, but it has now shared tour dates for more cities across Canada.

So, candidates would presumably have to be available to work between March 31 and April 23 in Victoria B.C.; April 22 to 30 in Calgary; April 22 to 30 in Toronto; and May 6 to 14 in Edmonton.

Apart from knowing the art of being sassy AF when those pesky customers are around, candidates must also be over 18 to apply.

Also, it's good to know that there are some ground rules to keep the peace between customers and employees, including no abusive language of a genuinely offensive nature.

Whatever you do, don't try to DM them for details about the job or you'll just p*ss them off and get ghosted ASAP.

Best of luck out there, folks. Let worst employee win!

Salary: Not specified
