Entitled Parents Insulted My Grandpa in His Own Restaurant — Karma Made Them Pay for This 20 Times the Menu Price
Asturias is a tiny village tucked into the green hills of northern Spain.
It’s quiet here, with only 30 people living in the whole village.
Life moves slowly, and everyone knows everyone.
At the heart of the village is my grandparents’ restaurant.
It’s been here since 1941, and it’s as much a part of the village as the cobblestone streets.
The restaurant isn’t just a place to eat.
It’s where people gather to talk, laugh, and play cards.
It feels like home, with eight tables inside and a few more outside for sunny days. Every summer, I come here to help out.
I’ve learned to cook my grandmother’s recipes and serve food the way my grandfather taught me.
Tourists sometimes find their way here, and we welcome them like family.
But one day, that didn’t go as planned.
It was a warm summer afternoon.
Lunch service was winding down, and most of the regulars were relaxing with a glass of wine.
My brother and I were clearing tables while my grandfather sat at the corner table, enjoying his meal.
The restaurant had the usual hum of quiet conversations.
Then we heard a car pull up. That wasn’t unusual—sometimes tourists got lost and ended up there.
The family that came in, though, looked anything but relaxed.
“Do you have a table for four? We’re starving!” the mother said, waving me over. She didn’t wait for me to answer.
“I’m sorry,” I said with a smile, “but the kitchen is closed now.
We serve lunch until three, and we’ll reopen at 7:30.”
“What?” the mother snapped, her face tightening. “That can’t be right! It’s a restaurant.
You’re supposed to serve food!”
Her tone took me by surprise, but I tried to stay polite. “We’re happy to have you later for dinner,” I said. “Right now, the kitchen is on break.”
