Yea, why not. Heck that's pretty much how I do the internet now..

He's never been shown as a liar. His rep is pretty solid & well established.

Not saying he is lying but I would definitely record the bad experience I was having.

I'm sure there's other reviews other than TikTok or KZfaq.... What is there to believe? TF .. 😅😅😅😅

The business did nothing wrong. They have rules. I don’t understand why Keith lee posed that review.

Most people can not handle criticism. They will immediately holler “hater” when you point out the obvious. I believe everyone benefits from constructive criticism, the business grows and customers are happy.

Once they get some money and buisness they forget where they came from, and who supported thier buisness. Cant even take criticism

Calm down

@@jonathanparker2213 it's the truth bro customer service should differentiate you from competition

So black restaurant owners want white customers or?

He's referring to black owned businesses so what is the desired customer?

@@TheDukeofDavida white person. Black servers will forever love white people over the black and obvious Jew tables they serve

@@TheDukeofDavidthe desired customer are ppl who are in the KNOW. The ppl they want are either wealthy, influencers, on tv, hang out with celebrities, or are celebrities. They gave him a table within 5 minutes once they realized he was a very popular influencer, but his family had to wait an hour.

Exactly

Facts

As a black woman, I agree and I said the same thing…as a people we gotta do better with business and customer service frfr

It's Atlanta. It's predominantly black in the city. It's not the type of city where you concern yourself with what color the owners are. Crappy service is crappy service.

@@higherrealms5309 i’m sure he would have acted differently if they were white owned restaurants maybe not he actually seemed and sounded like a kind and educated person honestly speaking i could be wrong though. 💯

100%…I moved from atl 2020 bc I noticed that the “oh imma move to Atlanta and come up” people were just way too much to bear😖AMD were driving up prices

So... only the black businesses are bad? Really? And... can we please let go of "uppity" in 2023? It's been problematic for long enough.

​@@miwawilliams1339who do you think runs Atlanta. White people are a minority.

@@miwawilliams1339 Never said White businesses treated people great in Atlanta or any other city, but if you're not a high class, high status black person they'll give you mid to low level service. Again, the people who lived in the city their whole lives are just normal folks trying to live life, but these reality show chasing, clout influencers are ruining it for everyone.

Thank you for clarifying for us locals. I sometimes do not recognize this place anymore Atlanta used to have a deep rich soulful flavor..all is not lost as of yet if ya know where to go. I'm hoping these trasis ts will be on the move again soon...and to say it's not all y'all moving here some of y'all are adding a good mix of attitude,it's just those who can't to GET rather than live and contribute with character fun and hospitality .

That’s a great summary. Life’s too short to keep spelling it out for everyone.

Came here to say this same thing. Imagine if ghetto culture like the one Cardi B promotes was crushed and people stopped acting a fool then blaming everyone else. I bet theyd see a drastic change.

Other black businesses seem to be just fine serving other black people. This is an ATL problem, not a black problem.

Wakanda forever ✊🏿

@@chanell1491 Serving industry is different. You should know this, but you don't..

Same lmao and I cooked for many years in nice restaurants so I can cook better than most anything I can buy.

I was thinking maybe some customers kept taking more than they need, so done restaurants charge now perhaps

I don't know - tell us 🤔

Crime

Why?

Why? The restaurants are owned by Black people too.

​@@dharling97they have these rules for non-black people, manly whites. Amd this isn't unique to black restaurants, restaurants in Japan are known to have a separate menu in English that has prices 50% higher because they want to get more money from foreigners. It's a massive issue across the world

That's all over the world. If you are paying for a service and you don't get the service to suit the price then you have all rights to complain. It is your hard earned money and customer service is how most of these businesses make money. No one can/should tel you how to spend your money.l

Wait - Where in the world do you think you don't have the freedom to eat at particular restaurants?....

@PeterReefman exactly and thank you.

exactly. In Thailand they don't let you leave bad reviews on places if you do you can be put in jail. Google it Koh Chang tourists leaves hotel review and you will see what I mean. That's the one good thing we have.

But that opens up a whole other conversation about why servers are not paid fairly by the establishment like basically everywhere else in the world, and making the customers subsidize their minimum wages by foced tipping?

Most restaurants in the US charge an automatic gratuity for larger (usually 6+) groups, just FYI. That's become the norm.

​@@ibrahimhassen1784 Exactly.

Which is hilarious and shows a level 1 mind 😂😂

Because you can't kick out "campers" (the people that stay in the table for hours after they finnished their meals and drinks), or the people that makes reservations and never comes in. Believe me when I say that the servers want them out, but the owners/manager won't do anything about it

You got that right!...I'm a server...that's how they are

Black Business owners tend to be more obnoxious, more entitled and more arrogant towards their own. Just because a Black Person owns a business doesn't give them the right to act like the new oppressors. I own a business as a Black Man and I am grateful for all of my customers. However, I've dealt with too many Black workers maybe family of the owners who's service was so bad that I stopped patronizing their businesses. 🤷🏾‍♂️

No, that's not culture. it's rude and uncivilised. People are people whether you know them or not. They are your guest.treat them like you would treat gues in your home. What's so difficult to understand??

Mississippi is rich state right?

​@rodniegsm1575 Lol. If you had ever visited Mississippi you would know.

It's tribalism. Very typical in black culture.

​@@rodniegsm1575unfortunately they are treating their guests as their own. You probably wouldn't be welcome in their community or homes. So what. They live there so just eat somewhere else. Is it mean sure. But it's very human. That isn't going to change today. Like he said you don't know what people have been through and can't take it personally. At the end of the day you are a guest. Apparently not a welcome one. I'm a mixed breed so I get it from both sides of the fence. Not the positive usually either.

People scare to call out this bs attitude, just like white people are scared to call out the jews for killing people in Palestine

LMA😂!

Food critics take in & analyze the whole experience from making reservations to welcoming to customer srvc to food to price to ambience. Its the WHOLE EXPERIENCE that adds or takes away from what is presented on the plate. And its the whole experience that determines whether you will tip or not and whether you will return as a repeat customer ... or not.

@@mteokay1246i know that matters to me for sure as a customer. Customer service will quite honestly almost always determine if i stay or go. I think energy transfers, and i don’t need it transferring to my food & tasting nasty bc everyone’s attitude is bad 😂

Lmao $1 for a cent piece of butter.... Naw, it's called greed

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠1-taking extra butter?? Unless we’re talking about the Waffle House-🤔who goes to a sit down restaurant, eats bread & butter-orders EXTRA butter, then takes it home. Idk where you frequent, but the type of places I dine at, it’s extremely cumbersome to take a stick of butter 🧈 off of its serving dish, find something to ‘wrap’ it in, hide it, THEN eat an appetizer and/or dinner and possibly desert and THEN leave with said (now) MELTED (& likely inedible) butter. If one can afford a $100 meal, surely a $16 roll of the ‘good’ butter from the grocery store, isn’t far fetched. But let’s say the butter is in packets…again, bread & butter are served prior to appetizers, main courses or deserts. So even then, taking packets of butter would result in a mess as it would melt! So ‘stealing’ butter doesn’t make sense! Oh, and at the Waffle House, THEY hand you the butter & im SURE they aren’t handing out heaps. As far as restaurants NOT willing to serve water🥴. 1- 99.9% of parties that ask to be seated before everyone arrives, has at BARE minimum 75% of the party there. 2- why would ANYONE arrive HOURS late to a restaurant? (Did you even think that through?) 3- why on earth would ANYONE drive to a restaurant, wait to be seated, ‘reserve’ 5 extra seats, and only order water? (Since u said ppl reserve tables & don’t order food😵‍💫) Besides, like I said previously-normally the majority of the party has already arrived. So the 4-5 empty chairs that are sitting at a table that seats 20 wouldn’t really matter-unless the restaurant suddenly had ANOTHER party of 20/20+ WITHOUT reservations (rare). (And that’s because each table has a set amount of chairs soooooo the table for 20 holds 20 chairs. No other table should ‘need’ the chairs🥴! But then again, ​@@freddyman7967 you did say ‘ghetto’ so maybe you’re familiar with tricks that don’t normally occur in my area, so I therefore am unaware of.

@@squibbelsmcjohnsonit’s not even a piece of butter I know what restaurant they talking about that place only serves butter melted from the kitchen. Therefore no one could steal any butter. As far as the other comment I had ghetto customers and they always show up at the same time for birthday dinners. Nobody is showing up hours late. That’s crazy.

I live in Central TX. I'll let you know as soon as I find good soul food. BBQ, Mexican, and TexMex , yes. Soul food, not so much.

Forget it's cardi b for a second. It's a celebrity using their platform to say "hey, I'm a celebrity and I'm trying to let y'all know that the service is bad in Atlanta no matter who you are or how much money you have." She's adding validity to the guy's claims, gotta give credit where it's due.

@@Ms9mmBerettaI would agree if it was literally anyone but cardi b

@@RedNuiiWe need to find Ja😂

If that’s ethical, curious as to why it doesn’t work in reverse🤔? As in-if restaurants ‘have continued good experiences with certain types of customers’-why don’t they become ‘strict about (GOOD) rules?! Also-I have a sneaky suspicion that your address is NOT within the city of Atlanta nor do you frequent establishments in the city of Atlanta

@@childishgambino4845 neither is the food reviewer himself from atlanta. there are no "good rules". these places are simply trying to survive and they themselves have determined what a known issue is. unfortunately black people are seeing the effects of their behavior.

I don’t think that’s the case here. Atlanta is no saint angelic city but even black restaurants in New York and California where ppl actually be raiding the place don’t have these stupid rules. You must not have seen some of the dumb rules these ppl make in Atlanta and not just for restaurants but hair too. My city not great and we don’t even have those dumb restaurant rules like no water🤦🏽‍♀️when you sit down.

Gotta love the narrative they putting out for a reason. 🧐 Hope this bug prevent move ppl from moving here honeslty. All this talk yet city seems to have new ppl flocking on the daily.

I need some context. What does high melanin mean? Does it pertain to dark skin or a certain type of person?

What does this comment mean, are you being racist? Seriously confused!

I've worked in a restaurant where 95% of the customers were "low melanin" and would deal with dine and dashes, drunk behavior and people treating the wait staff as their servants. This was from people who would dress up nicely for a night out but still act like trash.
