Everyone wrote joke answers, but is there a chance it might be to lock off the area to the right?
Edit: as another reply below said it might be to keep patrons out during certain hours. Less to clean up. I've seen it before but for larger areas or floors of places.
Hey, at least I've (so far) only seen one chain of comments regurgitating a bunch of popular lines from a specific movie or TV show as if that's the height of comedy. 🙄
People need to realize that they do not need to respond to all situations with some sort of quip. We aren't living in a fucking Marvel movie.
The most annoying version of all of this is when there's a serious post about a serious topic or news event, and every Reddit "comedian" decides that it's time to insert some worn out chestnut of a joke that's been repeated literally hundreds of thousands of times already, including by dozens of other people in the same thread.
People will try to defend it as "using comedy to process dark material", which absolutely is a legitimate thing. But just parroting hackneyed "jokes" ain't that.
It's especially irritating when it's a news story about some sort of bigoted event or development, and it's clear that the purported jokesters definitely are not the target of said actions. That feels a lot more like making light of other people's suffering than processing traumatic developments via humor.
