Their loss. I've only had it a handful of times but chitlins are delicious.

Other than a few places this has not been happening for quite a while.

It’s not but people will automatically assume it is racist because the same people make the assumption they’re accusing you of making.

Those comments from black servers/bartenders are very refreshing to read.

That said, from 2011-2016 I delivered pizzas all over Northern Ascension Parish and in the middle and upper middle class subdivisions, black folks tipped just as good as white folks.

A big part of it has always been that servers (both black and white) don’t want to work during Essence or the Bayou Classic because they know they’re not going to make sh!t in tips during those events. Additionally, they’re going to be treated like shite the whole time with completely fricking absurd complaints and demands as well as demands to be comped as a result.

And I have to add, that half the white population goes to the beaches during the week of the 4th of July, so it makes sense for many places to close.

Come on now. There’s a definite reason why they close during this time and this ain’t it lol. It’s ok to be truthful. I agree with it, by the way.

And everything else aside, people expect to be with their friends and families on Thanksgiving and the 4th of July, but not so much on a weekend in October.

this slapdick knows the truth and answer. They just want to go viral or get attention. That's what's wrong with society today. Social media is a cesspool for the lower common denominator.

People paying thousands of dollars for concert tickets tend to know how to act in public... And they definitely tip better
