Me: So how’s the spot? Good food? You think it’s worth checking out?

Him: *Gives history lesson on why in Atlanta restaurants, don’t give a fukk about quality of food or service, just the vibe, so it’s unfair to talk about food and customer service. *

Me: So the food is trash then:unimpressed:

Son in the video said a whole lot to say nothing.
That excuse was bullshyt.
If you go to a top notch white restaurant, the service is on par with the food.
Black businesses have got to learn that you can't cut corners and prosper.

You need to have enough supplies to fill your orders consistently.
You need to have enough competent staff to execute.
Your building must be up to code.
You must practice food safety and pass your inspections.
You must enforce quality control and provide great customer service.

That's the bottom line to success. If you're successful, then you must manage growth.
Too many business blow up but can't handle the growth and fail because of that.

Business is not a game.
Unfortunately, too may of us have these grandiose delusions of what being a business owner is about.
We think it's about being a "bawse" and taking pictures in gaudy clothes for social media.

That was the point wasn't it? The high price is for the aesthetic so you can have an Instagram pic, instead of service and quality. It's the illusion of LA's Hollywood nightlife for people that aren't in that tax bracket and those aesthetics first restaurants use that to their advantage

That dude posts/lurks here... He's very hit or miss when it comes to his content these days.

Let's be clear, he clowns this forum. He been clowning it since the Kevin Samuels days.

His analysis is rooted in "Socialism".

When he says "bougee" he actually means bourgeosie, not just rich saddity folks that look down on Dusties and Ratchets. He looks at the academic meaning, not the popular meaning.

Now, sometimes that's an approriate way to look at things - when we're talking about workers rights vs owners, etc.

And in this case, he could have easily went into that type of analysis on workers/owners of capital and how that parallels/intersects with business/customer relationship...

Except, no. That's not what he does. He's not interested in actually turning his viewers into Left Wingers that can properly analyze social phenomena.

Instead, he tortures the Left Wing view to link Black "Success" in capitalism to IG restaurants and poor business practices.

It's because in Atlanta, y'all was successful making that white man's money that you want to show out at these IG restaurants.

Meanwhile, the same sort of complaints about
  • Bad Restaurant Policies
  • Bad Customer Service
  • Bad Customers that offer trigger these policies and customer service
Happen in his birth place Chicago, NYC, LA, Kingston, Lagos, Oslo, Copenhagen, Berlin, Bangkok, and Barcelona.

This is not an Atlanta problem. It could happen anywhere, cause we've got cats from everywhere telling folks it ain't just Atlanta. It's not just celebrity/IG culture either.

You could EASILY make this a conversation about Black Haircare - Black Barbers and Hairdressers have these issues in SPADES.



But that's what he does in most of his stuff. He takes something happening in Pop Culture, and then tries to fit it into the "Socialist" Box.

And then throw in a healthy dose of Black Male Misandry when women come up.

Not a popular sentiment, but how much of this "celebrity" experience is driven by women, or by men trying to attract women?

You see how it easy it is to take something tangential and push a narrative?

That said, I'm not gonna push this conversation into some Black Manosphere analysis, because that's not what's happening with these restaurants.

Front and center, it's been about Black Business's poor Business practices. My personal take on it, is that a lot of these businesses start with open arms/anything goes, and they get taken advantage of financially. And a lot of the company policy, poor customer service is in the background of what's really going with us.

The real socialist question is whycome* some Black folks be so broke, so survival mindset oriented, that the businesses dictate harsh terms, and good paying customers deal with the consequences of problem customers?

*See what I did there?

See, this is a lesson.

13 million people follow this guy. And I've literally never heard of him, ever.
Being popular is relative.

"I have x-number of followers!"

Yeah, to me you're nobody.

:coffee:

What kind of lesson? One that will end badly for fools such as yourself? Know who you’re dealing with at all times Mr. LM.
