| 0:00.0 | My relatives demanded that I give them a family discount at my own food stall, |
| 0:04.6 | claiming that because their family, they deserve a discount. |
| 0:07.5 | But after I told them that they needed to pay full price, |
| 0:10.1 | they literally freaked out and left a one-star review, |
| 0:12.9 | claiming that my food was overpriced and that I had rude customer service. |
| 0:16.7 | Here's how it all went down. |
| 0:17.9 | So I opened a small street food stall after graduating culinary school. It's something I'd been working towards for years, testing recipes, saving up, and finally getting permits and a spot. The first week, a few cousins and an aunt showed up, and I was actually happy at first. And I really thought they came to support me. They ordered a ton of food, like enough for five people when there were only three of them. But when I gave them the bill, they all laughed at me, like literally laughed. My cousin then says, wait, you're charging us? We are family. But when I tried to explain that this is my actual job now, and everything I made goes back into keeping the stall running, my aunt scoffed at me and said, well, I guess success went to your |

| 1:16.2 | because guess what? You can absolutely come by, but it's also going to be at full price. |
| 1:20.6 | Wow, talk about super entitled. If I busted my butt in culinary school and getting a place and getting |
| 1:25.7 | permits and literally saving up for years to do this one job. |
| 1:29.3 | And then one of my family members pulled this crap, I think I would go crazy, bro. |
| 1:33.3 | There's no way I would put up with that. |
| 1:35.3 | So you're much better than me because I definitely would have responded back tenfold. |
| 1:39.3 | Because this kind of behavior is absolutely atrocious. |

| 1:56.8 | on a five-hour workday. And despite the fact that I tried to tell them it would be more efficient |
| 2:01.0 | to just work through the five hours, they denied my requests and instead decided to waste everybody's |
