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.

Here's how it all went down.

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.

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

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.
