That's funny!
There is a tea house in Hong Kong - not sure if it is still there, obviously was when I was there 10 years ago - where the wait staff are all older ladies and who are famous for their bad tempers and intolerance. Every request for service is met with undisguised contempt, everything is too much trouble. And from my experience it does not seem to be done in a jokey way.
Funny thing though is that the tea house attracts a great deal of business, the customers finding it highly entertaining to be abused by grannies. Mind you, a person would likely only go to this tea house expecting the abuse, so it comes as no surprise and you are braced for it.
