No contract? Really? They spend $18,000 on a party and they are arguing over $433 ? Keep these cases coming😂😂

I bartended for over 12 years… and anytime I’ve been approached about someone going out of their way to request “young, pretty, well kept” staff or bartenders… without fail, the client ends up being creepy by the end of the night. And before anyone comes at me.. I know this comment section well 😂 besides bartending in bars, over the 12 years + the events I still do.. I’ve bartended over 900 private events.. birthdays, weddings, bachelor parties, etc. I’m telling ya, they ALWAYS end up creepy.

I cannot fathom spending $18,000 on a party and then quibbling over four hundred bucks at the end

I honestly can not believe there was no contract for such a large event😕

STOP SAYING "Customer's are always right " no! Customers are usually wrong, but in order to keep everyone happy we do what we can for them.

Having worked hospitality & retail i can tell you the customer is not always right!

To the lady standing out there with Harvey stating that the customer is always right, that is incorrect it is the customer is always right in matters of taste. That type of saying and being quoted incorrectly is part of what has created the whole Karen phenomenon

The customer is always right.....to their own opinion. That bullshit saying cause soo much disdain and entitlement

Maybe I’m not hip and cool, but based on those photos, that party did not look fun.

The customer is NOT always right. However, they didn't have a contract. I will never understand why people don't habe contacts.

I'm shocked a party of that amount wasn't locked down in a contract. Bad business on her part. I kept a wriiten agreement. If I loan my daughter money.

Creepy only wanting young servers when the guy who the party was for looks like he's 50 or 60 years old .

This event planner is ridiculous! ALWAYS HAVE A CONTRACT WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS! This is what protects you from them. Most customers do not want to pay what the event is worth and the contract will protect you. Also, $500 for two taste panels seems excessive. Although I don’t know the number of items they tried or how many guests attended, I only charge $25.00 per person. More so they just show up as most customers are super flaky these days

My Wife says I'm the cheapest person she knows! I said, I'm not buying that!

Nice to have case other than used car deals that went south, or loans that turned sour between friends or family. What did the plaintiff mean that they didn't build a profit into their services? Of course they did, it wasn't done on a charity basis!

Does the judge realize she GETS PAID FOR HER TIME? She’s a fool for making that comment over & over.

Almost $20,000.00 for a party!! That's more than my last 4 cars cost! Yikes! Yet, all of these people are fighting because they all STIFFED THE PEOPLE THAT DID THE WORK at the party. Disgusting! Shameful! I live on Soc. Security as I'm now completely deaf and I always tip wait staff, hair dressers, the guy at the gas pump, etc. because they do work and deserve what little extra I can spare.

We're a dumb species!

Hey lunch crew!!! Hope y’all have a wonderful day!!

People who can afford $10,000 to throw a party don't need to be petty about paying staff minimum wage. Minimum wage says - I would pay you less if I could, but that's illegal. Just do what the master says and be grateful that you are being compensated at all, because people like you don't get invited to events like this.

Seems like they burned their bridges. 450$ is nothing compared to what they could what they could have made with more party's.

Sometimes it not about the money until it is!

Gets paid millions of dollars to play a judge on TV: wHo iS gOnNa pAy mE fOr mY tImE 😂😂😅

The plaintiff is lucky the judge was in a good mood when she continued putting in her two cents after the judge told her to stop

The defendant’s birthday party costed more than $10000 but he doesn’t want to pay the staff $20 an hour? Only rich people think like that

I know it wasn’t directed towards him but dang lol “WHAT TIME IS IT DOUGLAS?!” 😂

A contract isn't always about trust. It prevents forgetting or misremembering what you agreed to.

Ha! They used them before for other events but want to badmouth the food and such on the way out... petty, even though they didn't have to pay the extra $... and they quibble over a few hundred after spending 18k? Idiots.

People with money who are cheap, that's what it's about. Men with purses 😆

$18,000 for a party with some food Flown in?! They must be pretty well off😮

The CUSTOMER is NOT Always RIGHT! ✌

defendants are an embarrassment with their ageism. must get rid of toxic in the community.

$18k birthday party and no contract? I wish I had that kind of money to blow.

Great learning... Surprised plaintiffs business people didn't have contracts despite the friendship.

Charging $250 for a taste testing is outrageous.

Did the event planner seriously say that the case taught her about contracts? I'm blown away by this whole thing tbh.

That’s what’s count lmaooooo Doug don’t do me today lmaoo

Mistake #1: no contract Mistake #2: only hire good looking staff, even though we're going to cover them up with masks. Yet you expected only "good looking" people to actually work? Most get through life on just their looks so that was just stupid.

Way to lose an excellent repeat customer for $433 #BadBusiness

defendants want attractive well kept well dressed people working for them and then u look at the defendants . what ??

The customer is NEVER right.

Lesson here. Make sure you have a written contract.

Also I don't know if it's just me but I'm definitely picturing a complete eyes wide shut party

"Customer is always right" was such a stupid, hail mary attempt, by walgreens to stay relevant back in the day. I hope we lose that at some point. It creates entitled people

JM vocal explosion is something to behold lol

$5000 lawsuit and $4000 counter claim got quibbled down to $463 and $500 by the end of it 😂

Keep the cases coming! ❤

If you enter into a business arrangement without a signed contract, either party cannot change it after the deal is completed simply because it wasn't to one side's satisfaction.

Problem-Customer is NOT always right.Period.

Lot's of money for what looked like a meh party

They spent $18,000 on a party. They deserved to have delicious food and servers who would walk around with trays instead of being on their cell phones.

I like how the dude cries the food was lousy…sir, we know you’re butt hurt but you went to two tastings and picked which food you wanted, don’t be petty

The difference of the servers being paid $15.00/hr or $20.00/hr should be very clear. It's no different than if you go out to a restaurant and receive great service or horrible service. The $5.00 difference would be considered a tip. If you had to be told to get off your phone and serve the guest, you were providing horrible service and did not deserve to be given any extra money. Remember that 2 out of the 9 servers did receive the extra $5.00/hr, that in itself proves that the defendants were not intentionally keeping money that was owed, it wasn't earned by the other 7 servers. Tips are given to servers and staff that actually do their job, do it well without having to be told, and they don't have their cell phone out at any time while on duty. Plain and simple. You didn't earn a tip, you don't get a tip. It's the same way in any restaurant you dine in, and a party is no different, I wouldn't have tipped them either if I had to babysit them all night.

Don't judges realise they are being paid for their time and energy. Why do they think they are there and what do they think the pay check into their account is for. JJ does this often, now JM is also doing it.

What time is it Douglas?” Me: “Time for a little rough justice!” 😂

That party sounds really gross and very pervy.

Nobody thought to take pictures?? No contract involved?? No way would I deal with a company without a contract! I don't care if they're really good friends or not!

I can't wait to hear about this unethical taste testing~ The eff does that even mean?

We needed a lot of people because there was a lot of decorating to do. How much decorating was there? Well they actually did the decorating.

$20,000 on a party. And not even a GOOD party. That pic looked like they were in a VFW hall. 😫💀

I'm confused at how they had hired this company to do the same thing previously and not had it fall apart the way it is now. I have no idea at how they didn't have a contract and not end up quibbling like they did here. I would like to know what was different before (maybe it was a much smaller event?). What kind of a tasting cost $250 for two people? (this sounds like more than what their per person was at the actual event!!!). it certainly wasn't just paying for the cost of the food/drinks. For the people who think $10k is alot... the actual cost was more - they didn't talk about the venue rental!! or if there was hired entertainment etc.

You claim to be in Business for years, but you fail to have a contract.

I can't stand the plaintiff!

cant believe how people spend this money on a party and believe me such people dont pay their workers, selfless people

This sounds like awful planning & bad people hired. Also expensive Also no contract?! Really 😮 I’ve worked at events like these

The Judge "whos gonna pay me for my time and energy" or Alot of times she will say "whos gonna pay me for my aggravation with this case" ummm the studio, and theyve paid her Alot too.

"Catering Standard" head ass lmaooo the cringe

What's with Romulus and Remus throwing a Venetian bash knowing, besides the cell phone waiters in tight black pants no doubt, probably had a gay old time?

“WHAT PART IS THIS DOUGLAS?” God I love judge M

the more they spend on a party the cheaper they are at paying staff!

this is embarrassing....i would have given my staff extra myself instead of going to court showing how petty and small they ALL are in this case.... too much money, too much time, sad boring rich people with nothing to else to do but to throw lavish parties for eachother and show off how well of they are.... barf

Not having a signed contract spells doom and misunderstandings later on. Unfortunately theres just too many things that can go wrong even if everything was agreed upon in good faith. Best to have a complete contract where it's understood on both sides and signed..

I’ve worked in hospitality for 10 years the the customer is absolutely WRONG most of the time.

No contract, no written records of financial transactions or monies earned from the business. Sounds like someone needs to contact the IRS and the local BBB.

A party can’t be good of the FOOD is bad , if I’m hungry I won’t party

What a waste of time!!

So the Plaintiff should be paying the staff out of their cut. Two staff were good said the defendant so pay them an not the rest 😂. Some people have more money than sense. Arguing over lose change 😂 - ok so A man comes into my food retail store he buys milk bread eggs and bacon he is wearing a massive gold watch never seen one so big 4gold chains 5big rings, pays cash for his shopping pulls out a wodd of cash, 50’s20’s10 pound notes then goes to leave, he stops ask me how much is a carry bag I say 40p he pulls a face a says arrr no to much 😂😂 an he’s gone. Seriously 😮 funny absolutely 😆

What part is this Douglas 😂

JMM was not happy not to have pictures.

She screwed her staff and should’ve paid them out of her own pocket what they didn’t received from defendants

Judge Milian definitely sent real rough justice. OUCH.

Good is subjective

i can’t stand the people who say the customer is always right. no, no they’re not lmao. i’ve worked retail for years and majority of the time they’re wrong.

They spend 18,000 for a party and are cheap to pay the servers a good wage.

Plaintiff got 10k, they can pony up the 500$ to pay them

Dude in black jacket sounds like trump lol

If they werre my clients, I would have paid the money myself to my own waitstaff to keep the peace. Obviously, the clients werre not happy with this part of the service. Being on their cell phones, opening up multiple bottles, etc. would logically annnoy most people

That was NICELY done *WASH* by Judge Milian. They happen - but the REALLY good ones she actually have to break down and explain to both parties how they even out $ by $ in whatever silly or major lawsuit they have always amazes me.

I would never never never hire an event planner without getting a contract to protect me as much as them. Very irresponsible of both litigants, and the Defendant was definitely a jerk.

I have to say ..Mr.Zuckerman, I love your famous pig.

🗣"What time is it Douglas?"

Plaintiffs lost me at, They got paid but their staff didn’t….

She's dressed beautifully.

Sorry, why did the plaintiffs take all the money but not pay the staff?

Rule #1 in any business, have a specific 2 way contract between Plaintiff & Defendant.

It does sound like the servers were crappy, if some of the guests said they never even saw the hors d'oeuvres and the bartenders were opening multiple bottles of the same thing. Defendants did say two were good though; I hope they handed them a tip under the table.

Lol she is just creepy u can see that in her eyes

It's stupid not to have a contract even they are friends...

MONEY changing hands REQUIRES A CONTRACT...End of story

I just came to the comments to see how many people notice the plaintiffs Karen hair cut.
