Mental hospital theme resturant

There could be a marin general hospital unit A and B theme. This would consist of all the walls being painted a "soothing" pastel color. The costomers could be assigned mental illnesses based on what ever political or personality characteristic that the people that they came with decided they didn't like about them. In unit A the costomers would be given forms to fill out where all of the food is listed for every meal and they would have to circle with a pencil what they wanted to order. The food is actually not too bad and sometimes you can even get broiled salmon with a wild rice pilaf. You can also order more than one desert per meal. You can also trade with you fellow patients food you don't want but they do. Annoyingly though if you have food allergies you would be required to wear a hospital band that states what your food allergies are but the food you order will still consist at least partly of what you are allergic to. It will also most likely contain MSG and there's no way it will be organic. If a costumer really is getting into their role as a patient and they are to incapacitated to fill out the menu/form one of the nurses/actors/servers would fill it out for them. If they are really poor and don't have any insurance they would only be allowed to stay in unit B for a little while because it is funded by the county not the state and the county. In there their food choices would be limited to cheap frozen t.v. dinners which they would be very thankful for because it's likely that they were just living on the streets before they came to the hospital. There would be actors playing nurses walking around with med carts with psych meds in little paper cups which are really just pez candy. If a costomer refused to take there psych meds and they were getting really out of control they would be pined down by five actors playing nurses and the "nurses" would pretend to inject the "patient" with either just some haldol or maybe some haldol and a big B vitamin shot. Every one would ask each other what they were "in" for and start telling each other elaborate stories of their latest freak out. It could be a story about them speeding across the golden gate at 100 miles and hour swerving through traffic. Maybe it’s a story about a house wife going nuts from lack of any real goals and aspirations in her life for herself and not her kids. Every one would sit at different tables according to wellness/ability to function level. The maniacs would tend to stick with the other maniacs. The costomers would have to vote as a group on which video to watch that everyone had already seen before. The doors to the outside would all be locked and you would have to wait for the doctor/actor to give you permission to leave because you are well for the meantime according to him or her and also because you have run out of insurance money ie money to pay for food. There would be tons of free gram crackers and peanut butter and jelly to eat when ever you want as well as free coffee and orange juice out of a fountain. A lot of the people you meet there would all seam really fun and interesting when you are locked up together and you tend to bond over your common repression but when you try to maintain friendships on the outside they all seam to forget that it was just a mental hospital theme restaurant and they keep playing their roles and eating too many pez candies while you go back to acting normal and getting on with your life.
