So, I'm not Australian and, until I recognized the animal, I kept thinking the sign was pronounced Quo-Kah. Had to google how to pronounce it. It's pronounced Qu-ah Khah. Anyone else struggle reading that?
Somebody give me some context. Is it just to avoid having the little creatures associate the place with food, because they smell or is it just a well humored take? Last time I checked, quokkas don't speak.

stops you and bans you from the restaurant

Any restaurant that doesn't let me let in the quokkas probably isn't even a place I want to eat. They can't ban me, I ban myself!

What are they going to do, put up a sign that says "don't let in frikineh@lemmy.world"?
ripcord@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Hmm.
I suppose quokkas are a protected class.

Never heard of our seen one before. Sounds like a name for something in Australia. Is that where this is?
The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 1y
Yep, quokkas are only native to Australia.

How many can I feasibly let in?
BreadAndThread@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y
I was thinking I could probably carry 5-6 in my arms and at least 2 in my purse. I'll be getting a booth for me and my friends, tyvm.

Lyrl@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y
Wikipedia says /ˈkwɒkə/ which I think was your original pronunciation.
