This Massachusetts restaurant has a tip for rude diners – be nice, or don’t eat. The owners of Brewster-based Apt Cape Cod decided to shut down for a "day of kindness" after a slew of customers apparently mistreated its staff, cursed and demanded take orders before the restaurant even opened for business. "So Chef Regina and I have decided to take the day and give the staff time [to] deep clean the restaurant, train, and treat my staff to a day of kindness." The restaurant continued to urge, "please remember that many of my staff are young, this is their first job, or summer job to help pay for college." Since the restaurant abruptly closed down, Povero says Apt Cape Cod has received an influx of support from Americans across the country sending tips via Venmo, which they have kindly asked be redirected to their local food bank.
