0:00 thank you [Music] so this is something I never thought about and it made me pretty sad because I didn't realize how a non-asian would feel we'll take this yeah you guys won't you guys will understand this because you've been around this culture but there was a tick tock that went viral of this girl who was asked to leave a Korean barbecue restaurant because she was dining by herself what that's ████ up you know how all you can eat caves I know you can't go in there to eat alone you didn't you can't yes I almost went the other day and I stopped myself because I remember what I didn't know that if it's all you can eat you have to have minimum two people oh well apparently all ages
0:52 what that's always the fallacy in here is it because like the fair is not covering the cost of I guess the table because they could that's they're losing like a potential six cut exactly yeah yeah yeah yeah and most like all you can eat places have it written down like in the front somewhere it's very like visible that you can't I did not I really didn't know that yeah but they they would kick her out even if they're not busy yeah you're still making money yeah they would they would still because it's just policy and they shame you too they should make fun of you shame get a friend yeah bring some people so it's really sad because so she filmed she actually like filmed herself being like asked to leave but the lady was like kind of trying to be nice she's like hey next time you know come next time with bring a friend you're never going and then this girl said she she like sat in the car and cried
1:42 what that's very sad because she doesn't know like she doesn't know the whole thing about like but there's so many restaurants around in general you would if you wanted Korean barbecue let me just go on Instagram was she like in mid-meal or no she they hadn't served her yet they just like they she showed her because she signed up on the wait list and wrote one and then I guess like she was being shown to the table and then was like oh are you by yourself she was like yeah and then they were like oh sorry like you don't do that oh she wasn't sad didn't have like a ████ ice water in front of her I don't know how far is she she started filming it when she was already like Nick has something to say no I don't there's a trash foreign get some friends dude who goes to eat Korean barbecue by themselves I almost did the other day they're the number one
2:32 argument all right in this situation just go to a non all you can eat Korean barbecue there's a lot of those too but it doesn't stop the embarrassment that she went through because she didn't you know when you just don't know you don't know the rules you're just like it just feels like ████ but he has to leave and like they were just really rubbing in that you're alone it's pretty ████ hard doesn't it make it more embarrassing when you like put it on social media and it goes viral though I don't think she understood she didn't understand that this was a thing that like a lot of places you're just pissed at Koreans but was she one of those like this she goes in the car no like that one of those was he said she filmed the moment that she's getting like then then they go
3:22 they upload about both of those things the Preamble and the post animal ████ a lot of likes that was really good I haven't she actually filmed it pretty Tastefully she didn't film the crime part she was just talking about it but she all she filmed was her being like the lady going like oh hey like yeah we don't do that so I think she did a pretty okay job filming it she wasn't like super dramatic she was she was nice too like she was like oh okay sorry like she clearly was like uh new to that concept it is kind of sad to get like escorted out of a restaurant and it's not like you ████ you know ████ this it's just like you just came by yourself yeah yeah the waiters walking out to it and then everyone's walking by he's like oh no friends no friends yeah you got another one no friends that's okay hey can you get
4:15 the door for the no friends girl this is how they fix it you know how when you go to like Disneyland you don't want to wait in the long line okay they have a separate line or single right fast pass you get single Riders so you get all the ████ losers that don't have friends and then you make them sit together at one table so all the loners get to come in yeah yeah yeah hey that is kind of cool and I'll be in the single writer's line because I almost went last week and I thought about I was like I was gonna go by myself like a loser a lot of things about like Korean barbecue like a lot of the restaurants that do that all you can eat style for them to be efficient the way especially in the culture of that food too they have like 100 side dishes already gotta rush out ████ display every single thing wipe it up you know what I mean and they got this giant fan and smoke blowing everywhere and pulling out all his meat so it's like to even like have a single person sit down and like have all of that immediate service
5:06 is like so anti you know the efficiency of what they do so that's why they need to have them yeah because all those entrees could be like 20 bucks already yeah that's why you need two three four five whatever to cover the cost of just those exactly just for Korean barbecue Devil's Advocate okay here we go let's say I'm like a famous person and I don't wanna you know have to deal with anything all right can I just sit down and like be like hey I'll pay like for the whole table whole table yeah I think you can do that because what it says is not it's not always minimum people two it says minimum orders too minimum I'm Asian give me money yeah so if you paid for the space across you I think they would be okay with that because they're still making the money that they would think they're losing and you can't take food home you have to pay for the additional food if you do take it home yeah I think if you
5:56 eat by yourself you get to take a little food off you better get to take a little food off if you're paying for two seats you get to take a look but you have to bring your own ZIP locks okay fair no to-go boxes or anything because they don't have that they don't store ████ together but if you bring Ziplocs aren't they a little bit so I saw on you already foreign don't worry about my own Ziplocs you don't need the Ziplocs to walk into a Korean barbecue and looks less why yeah [Laughter] what are you trying to say what's interesting too is um I think a lot of people because we've grown up around lots of different Asian restaurants and uh maybe there should be
6:46 some way to communicate to everyone else most Asian restaurants are not really very sensitive to what you want or need they're pretty like some of them are pretty logical cut and dry and kind of don't give a ████ almost too logical yeah a little bit so I could see why like someone would think oh that's so cold that's so rude it's like you know they're trying to make money and maximize profits you know which one's illogical then they're not trying to make money because they're ████ dumb as ████ the ████ Japanese ones let's go to closing hours well there's that but the Japanese people like culturally they're so like like they abide by the rules so much Etc except for Joe yeah but like you know Shinsengumi the the um that Tokyo the ramen okay yeah yeah so I go there it's busy there's like a line out the door right and we're trying to ████ eat and then there's a table for like
7:36 four and then I'm like oh there's a can we just sit there real quick like we're just looking really gonna eat and just and Just Bounce and she's like oh no it's a poor people well me and my friend will sit there and I could even sit with two other strangers you'll make your line shorter poor people groups that come together and then so we end up waiting for like two hours the whole just because that table is meant for a table of four so for them it's like this is what this is for and that's it and they can't be flexible bend the rules or anything like that oh yeah that's another ████ open to that Chinese bamboo very strong Chinese a hooligan want to sit at the poor table oh my God damn school again yeah he means four no I think he means
8:27 poor yeah clearly clearly it's poor and the Japanese people are always like that yeah if that's the rules and they're not the ones that can make the call I could cheat yeah when I go to uh the other place down here that I like the sushi spot like all the entrees come with the Miso soup right always and then you go oh um want the clam miso soup can I swap it out just pay the up charge oh no no this this miso soup come with the entree and I'm like well what if I want to climb me so stupid you have to order separate so because of that I always get two miso soup they just can't just ████ in you know like Fram there's this little none of that uh Devil's really cool and flexible oh yeah yeah we got another guy going to get the grade here
9:20 um I would assume it's their POS system that they can't separate a four percent ████ Abacus in the back they gotta fix that yeah they gotta fix two different tables or like in ordering you can't like just like mix and match because they only have that order as like that one thing that ████ that old lady probably don't know how to like change ████ so I would assume the Japanese POS system it's probably the best you need to get one by Intel yeah because it'll be like table three but you can't split table three and how because she doesn't know how to give two different receipts or something like that but you know what it's a split Focus that's their fault bar I'm just playing Devil's Advocate don't get mad at him because don't get mad at me because when you go to ████ Chinese restaurant Anything is Possible you could look at the menu and a ████ Hong Kong Cafe already has like 300
10:10 things literally from Pizza to french fries to ████ is anything sandwiches right you could go like that and go I don't want any of this I want lo mein with ████ cheese on it and they'd be like I don't know how to do that but we can do it for you go figure it out restaurants you're like hey uh I'm a vegetarian so like no meat right okay here's cabbage but it's all cooked in pork oil yeah see they figured it out that's true they are just like a get it done group but you know you may not get what you wanted but it happened they're not gonna say no they want your money at all costs cash only leads back to the profiteering aspect it closes like you like they're like their kitchen closes at like 11 30 or something right and if you show up at 11 29 a ████ Chinese restaurant but oh okay yeah they're like oh no Kitchen close everyone's tired
11:02 that's the PSA of the day um a lot of Asian all you can eat places they will require you to have a friend other than Heidi Lau which if you go there with one person they put a giant teddy bear across from you that's more insulting actually that's weird that hurts my feelings yeah I don't want the teddy bear tonight yeah just maybe I don't want to be accompanied by this plus they have cold eyes yeah they have cold out they're just staring at you the whole time [Music] foreign
