A restaurant manager recently decided that the quickest way to end a dispute with two customers was to comp their bill, but with one major condition: they couldn’t return. This incident was first shared on TikTok by stitchesbysyd, and then reposted on X by @EBTtok. The TikTok profile is private, so all we have as information about the event is from the X user. The video went on to kick up a massive debate and has more than 2.4 million views and 18,000 likes.
According to the X post, the customers were accusing the restaurant of being racist. The reason provided was “because they won’t give them happy hour prices outside of ‘happy hour’.” The post text went on to claim, “This maître d quickly realizes just comping the meal and banning them is much easier than arguing. He knows they just want free food and he can’t win.” It should be noted that this cannot be verified, especially since this isn’t the original poster.
