		<description>What if you didn’t pick up the food because you got in a car accident? or something happened that’s beyond your control? If you’re a regular and this happened once, they should’ve just let it go....if you keep doing, it it’s another story.   It’s too bad people complain about it and go back to a same place...they will never learn unless you tell them how important your money is and don’t show-up again.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m going to go out on a limb and say that I think it&#039;s lame that you would call and then not go get if. Even if you ordered every day - that someone takes time to cook it and get it ready and then it goes to waste - that&#039;s just crazy and I can&#039;t even believe you tried to legitimize it because you&#039;re a good customer. In this case, I don&#039;t think it had anything to do with you being black but more that in this situation - you were wrong. The drycleaner issue is a whole other issue.</description>

		<description>Nolawi,

My advice to you: You need to find another Asian restaurant (pick-up)unless you can&#039;t live without their food.
Maybe you can start cooking the same type of food. It can&#039;t be that hard if you are a good cook.

Peace</description>

		<description>On the asian bit....from closely working with one chinese lady for a few years I have come to a conclusion that asians are not as rude and as racist as they sound.

Kiki is right.  There are some cultural components that we need to understand.  Even after a few years of working together,  this lady still talks to me in a rude manner.  She reports to me but she talks to me like she is my employer.  But,  the fact is I know that she got my back and I look pretty good because of a lot of the work she does.  It took me a while to realize it but as rude as she sounds,  I know she is not.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;@ Tobian&lt;/b&gt;:
dude you are not a business person.. if you were you would know that free dishes are part of an expense for mistakes...  at restaurants kitchen...

^ that is customer service 101

---

And I know for sure that if I was white I would get treated better specifically at this restaurant...

In fact I was told by servers that I know that there is a preconceived notion that most black people are bad tippers.. minamin..  and I think that constitutes judgment not the content of characters but the color of skin...

and yes asians from asia due to the lack of interactions with black people and media bias tend to have more prejudice that you would expect..</description>

		<description>Ante QebeT, you don&#039;t know their profit margin. I&#039;m pretty sure his business model doesn&#039;t say &#039;for every 10 dishes we make, we&#039;ll get paid for 9&#039;. Like any sane business people, they expect a 100% payment rate.

Also I don&#039;t see how this is a racist action. Have you seen how they treat white or asian folks who order but don&#039;t pay for/pick up their dishes? No. So, as far as i can tell, you&#039;re racist for thinking he&#039;s racist.</description>

		<description>I am a foodie and I do eat out a lot.  I am always surprised how &quot;rude&quot; a lot waiters, hosts, etc in Asian restaurants seem.  I think they sometimes confuse speed with customer service.  I wonder if along with the racism there is some cultural component that I don’t understand.  The only way to deal with that kind of unacceptable treatment is to take your business somewhere else...
Nolawi you should find another place to get your drunken noodles.</description>

		<description>What about Ethiopian Restaurants that take your order over the phone and wait to place the order till you go there to pick it up. They always make me wait forever. If only I didn&#039;t like Ethiopian food so much.</description>

		<description>&quot;don’t let your black people prejudice affect your business&quot;

Nolawi, I think you hit it spot on, my only problem would be that we target Asians excessively for holding a view about black people in general that every immigrant holds including habesha. I once had an experience with a West African bar owner that’s got me shook up to this day.

I thought I would run a tab and gave my credit card. But I only had one beer and headed for the exist after leaving $5 on the counter. 30 minutes later, I come back to retrieve the credit card I forgot behind. I tell the guy, I left you $5 bucks on the counter, did it not find you? Instead of simply saying, &#039;No, I did not find your $5&#039;, this guy went on a rampage and started accusing me and calling me all kind of names...&quot;Liar! you did not leave money here, LIAR!&quot; Never went back to that place again.

I paid with my credit for one beer, and left him a tip... I said &quot;look asshole, I am even tipping, asshole&#039;

Credit to Asians and immigrants in general, they provide business service in the toughest neighborhoods in America. Places that corporate America has abandoned as unprofitable, and somehow immigrants find profit.</description>

		<description>Nolawi, I totally relate with what your saying. From my personal experience dealing with people, I have found Asians to be by far the most Racist toward black people. We still go right back and patronize their businesses.

They don&#039;t appreciate the business we bring and what we mean to their bottomline. That&#039;s why when the LA riots happened in 1992, black people selectively went after Korean business and smashed it all up and down the street.</description>
