A Georgia man stopped at a Chinese restaurant for some good eats but was quickly intercepted by the owner of the business. Unbeknownst to him, he wasn’t allowed to be there and the owner wasn’t afraid to be aggressive about it.
TikTok user Luv_jah01 posted his poor customer experience after he stopped at a Chinese restaurant for lunch. According to LJ, after placing an order and sitting down with his meal, one of the owners, a lady, had started “aggressively” telling him to leave. Apparently, the restaurant was takeout-only, which LJ was unaware of.
What was especially confusing was the restaurant being set up like you could sit down. Even worse, he had originally sat down to eat next to a man who happened to be the other owner of the restaurant. Not only did the other owner make no move to kick him out, he even offered LJ a free bottle of water. Upon hearing this, the woman angrily shouts to her husband, “You gave him a free bottle of water?!”
LJ and the owner continue their bickering as they film each other, with LJ insisting he get a refund because he “can’t eat my food here.” She notes the sign outside saying they don’t seat, even going as far as to threaten to call the police. As the owner walks away, still complaining, LJ says, “Keep showing social media how aggressive you are; thank you. Let’s see how much longer you stay in business now.”
LJ’s video invites racist remarks online
Although LJ’s video made no mention of race, the comment section of his video sure did. Rather than be upset by the poor customer service, many commenters took this as a chance to share racial grievance. Though one commenter kept it civil, remarking, “She pissed he gave you a free water is crazy.”
“Why do y’all still support these people?” one commenter asked. In the following thread, a viewer pushed back, saying, “Because not all Asian ppl are discriminatory.”
Another commenter compared it to Rick Chow, an Asian man in South Carolina accused of murdering a Black teen in 2023 and was found not guilty. “After the Rick Chow thing, it should be obvious they don’t like us.”
More of these comments continue to come in, with one TikTok user remarking, “I thought we were spending our black dollars elsewhere.”
Although LJ was initially confused, he wrote in the captions that his “experience made more sense” after he read some reviews. Several reviews accuse the owner of the restaurant, the lady LJ dealt with, as being “rude” and “racist.” So, it would seem LJ isn’t the only one having trouble with the business.
