re: Fat Boy Pantry- NOLA controversy?

Yeah, I think little things like stoking the fire by naming the wrong psychotic owner is part of the problem with this story.

It's like the SJWs in this city didn't learn a damn thing from the Seth situation.

So the fault clearly lies.....with the business owner who responded unprofessionally and the employee who did the dumb thing in the first place. Anyone in hospitality encounters countless people who take offense, are disgruntled for one reason or another, or are aggrieved. If you have no skills in soothing the customer, your hospitality business will fail. Pointing fingers at people who amplify the gaffe is missing the point.

I will now support this restaurant. Tired of the walking on egg shells and bashing of places bc they “possibly” racist or labeled racist. Racist come in all colors so, good food gets my green every time. I don’t care about their political views. I want good food in my mouth bc my time is limited on this earth.

There are more issues in life then all this BS and complaining.

LE, you are trashing this business based on hearsay from a facebook account that you probably don't even know the source of.

You have already proven you are running with incorrect facts that can be easily validated.

Take a step back and evaluate the situation without being emotionally attached.

I’d rather not give them a dime.

So, you want them to pay a ransom and fake their political beliefs?

In today's world they have no chance of recovering their image. They just need to let time wash it over to the next thing.


For reference, John Besh admitted to it, apologized, and did everything you have recommended and BRG still gets shite on by the same people who are shitting on FBP.

Shaya meanwhile denied it, blamed everyone else, and faked a new image and he seems to be doing ok.

Sometimes you really suck. This is one of those times.

This reminds me of the movie Point Break where all the bank robbers wear mask of ex presidents. I love that movie.

“Utah, make it two”

Thanks for whitesplaining that to me.

I don't. I've never been there, so maybe I'm out of my depth here. Probably won't go now regardless of what they do. I just don't go to that part of town if I can help it, so I'm maybe not a good litmus test of whether or not this would be enough to placate those who are (in my opinion, justifiably) upset. But as a business owner, you gotta play the game, right? That's just pragmatism. I guess you could swing the other way and just embrace it, hoping for the Proud Boys (hyperbole) to float your business. Or I guess you could wait it out. I don't see the bottom lines, but I don't think BRG was hurting pre-COVID, so maybe that's enough if you have the capital to weather the storm. There will always be some that won't forgive, but my guess is that if you have a solid product and try to "make it right" you can win people back. But I don't own a small business, I don't want to, so this is all speculation on my part.
