When "arrogant" tourists misbehave, the landlady takes a drastic step: she throws everyone out and announces the end of the day.
Charlevoix - Because the staff at the East Park Tavern, a Charlevoix eatery, was mistreated by its patrons, the eatery has shut down in the midst of its packed evening business.
According to kreiszeitung.de, the staff left a message on a note for hungry potential guests that said: "Our kitchen is closed due to poor treatment of our staff".
A photo of it is now going viral on the internet.

Guests treat the staff badly: landlady throws everyone out and closes the restaurant
According to the local operator Larah Moore, the incident was due in particular to so-called "fudgies" - i.e. tourists - who would visit the multi-day Venetian Festival in the port city.
Because they had behaved particularly badly this year, but there were no problems with local guests.
The festival lasts a total of eight days, with a total of more than 100,000 visitors a year.
Actually a good time for high sales.
But exactly then, a landlady decides to stop the operation of the restaurant.

Moore described the moment she pulled the ripcord to Today: "I was coming down from the third floor and one of my waitresses burst into tears, she was crying."
It goes on to say: "I took the chef aside and we decided together that it was enough".
In Great Britain, the entire staff of a McDonald's branch even resigned because the boss is said to have treated his employees badly.
The same happened in Temple, where a whole store team had quit because: "The bosses have no respect".
Landlady protects staff: "No one should treat my employees like garbage"
It's different in the East Park Tavern, after all, the boss even waives money to protect her employees.
“Nobody should treat my employees like garbage.
They are the absolute shining stars of my life and I love and cherish them," Moore wrote on Facebook.
"Too many arrogant individuals pretend they can throw money at us to get their way."
In fact, the festival has a special tradition in the city: “Everyone in town is there to party and have a good time, and that usually rubs off on my restaurant staff or pretty much every other business in town.
We all try to keep our spirits up.
It's a fun time for everyone, or at least that's how it's supposed to be.” This year, however, was different, with too many “overbearing gits” visiting this year, according to Moore.
Pub receives online encouragement for closure: "Goddamn right"
Under her private Facebook post, which has meanwhile been responded to thousands of times, the landlady receives a lot of encouragement for her step.
One user writes: "The stress is not worth the money", another writes: "I don't understand why people treat a waiter like servants".
Another user wrote: "Thank you for sharing this with us.
Correct and courageous step" and another user thinks the measure is "goddamn right".
In Maine, too, an entire supermarket team quit because the salary was too low.
A supermarket team in Apache shut down operations because the store was too hot.
