Pretend I'm the lady (I'm not)

I am being unreasonable - the point of visiting Auschwitz is not the cafe, you're missing the point and undermining the importance by focusing on that in your review and insulting victims

I am not being unreasonable - A cafe is a cafe and you should be allowed to say so if the food is terrible, regardless of where you are.

Also further evidence that TikTok should be set alight.

And don’t get me started on performative nitwittery: “oh we were so upset we can’t even read a critical review of a cafe without being triggered. It’s literal violence…”

The cafe is outside the site and run by an independent operator.

People are ridiculous.

If anything, if the cafe is bad and overpriced then the cafe owners are the ones guilty of the hyperbole of those invoking the holocaust by profiting from visitors.

But let’s not go there: it’s just a review of a cafe and useful for people who may have travelled, need a sit down and some respite after the visit etc

Another person being publicly shamed on the internet over a very minor ‘misdemeanour’ (depending on your PoV). Just gets exhausting. If only people used the energy getting incensed about pointless shit like this to do something important.

Absolutely ridiculous. Is the cafe privately owned? Why should leaving a review there be any different to any other business? She's done nothing wrong but this is now going to be used as a political and religious football and if Gaza doesn't enter the equation, I will be gobsmacked. She's not dishonouring the atrocities of the vile camp. 9 quid for two drinks isn't unreasonable BTW.
