The backstory on this one is that "luxury" biz in this historic entertainment district continues to shut down as the clientele changes and the remaining biz is obviously frustrated . . . Take a look:
Video shows Tomfooleries employee yelling at customer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A video going viral on social media seems to show a manager at Tomfooleries yelling at a customer and telling her to leave after she asked questions about a restaurant policy. Xzaviera Vaqua, who recorded the video, said it happened on Thursday night.
More businesses are leaving the Plaza as it has become a dump. The Plaza is no longer the upscale place that it was advertised to be. The clientele has forced many businesses to leave. Obviously more moving KCMO forward and gaining momentum.
ReplyDeleteAny business that has to deal, on an ongoing basis, with blacks, subjects their employees to "Entitled Negro Fatigue Syndrome".
ReplyDeleteBlacks are famous for, among the many, many servers that I know, for "Dining And Dashing". It is logical, that credit cards should be proffered in advance when any establishment is unlucky enough to see them come through the door. It isn't politically correct, but, it is sure as hell logical.
The Plaza, thanks to the Politically Correct Zeitgeist which rules over us all, is now prostrate in the face of legions of blacks who don't tip, complain about their food, are rude, abrasive and stupid and destroy, as everyone knows, everything they touch.
I have not eaten at Tomfooleries in a long time, but I am going to do my best to get down there and order a meal.
At first I thought the same as you in that I would make it a point to support the business. But then I decided against it. If they won’t hold up for their own staff, to hell with it. Let them kowtow to mammy.
DeleteLooks like I need to get to Tomfooleries to show them my support. All they are doing is protecting their business. They've dealt with black people, they know what's up. Years ago the restaurant I worked at on the Plaza had to get rid of their taco Tuesday special. The fat ass black women sniffed out that special because it was cheap. They would order water, eat every bite except the last one, then complain it was cold and want a free meal. They ALL did it. They of course didn't tip either. We made them pay and shortly thereafter stopped that special and they stopped coming. Hell, black servers hate waiting on black people. They are all the same. If you cn figure out a way to not get them to come to your business youre ahead of the game. They bring nothing positive to anything.
ReplyDeleteShe deserved to get kicked out. Anytime they get the video rolling and try to bait people into confrontation, they have to leave. Fuck Tomfooleries for not sticking up for their employees.
ReplyDeleteThe streetcar extension will do nothing but deliver and drop-off more of the same directly to The Plaza. Blame Sky and Troy for this crap. And blame a STUPID short-sided council. Absolutely stupid! This streetcar route will become an urban planning case study of what NOT to do.

ReplyDeleteI have tried so hard not to be racist but it's really hard not to. I've noticed more blacks on the Plaza and the new owners are nothing more than mall people. Blacks have made a reputation for themselves and people just don't want to be around them any more.
BTW If she get a law suit against this est. then that's just wrong because Home Depot on Linwood had a black kid who refused to help me and nothing was done about it.
Plaza merchants may as well realize that this is their new normal. Now that negroes have infiltrated the place, they will be bringing their “ways” with them (dine and dash, poor/no tipping, fights) and anyone that has the balls to stand up to it (like this manager) will be accused of racism. Three cheers for diversity!
ReplyDeleteWhere’s the Activists or do they just scream when it’s an issue for “Brothers & Sisters”? The Lame duck Mayor could at least speak out in support for all business that are dealing with this issue. Margins are so tight to begin with, the help all hear $15/ hour should be what they are paid....well how could anyone pay anything if customers leave before paying. The foolishness can’t go both ways without business closing the doors. Will the Plaza be the next Indian Springs or Bannister Mall?
ReplyDeleteIn a word, "yes".
ReplyDeleteBlack people are the worst for the restaurant business!
ReplyDeleteThey use coupons and seek special deals, tip poorly, sit at tables for a long period of time, total money loser all the way around.
She was acting like a typical cunt and that ex-manager was friiiied. After stating the credit card policy, usually patiently, probably dozens of times a week since it was implemented, the dude finally snapped. I get it.
ReplyDeleteHe's better off. Restaurant management sucks, but has to be absolutely horrible in Kansas City.
The blacks don't suffer from racism. They create racism.
ReplyDeleteMany many years ago I worked at an Olive Garden in Overland Park. It was the only time I had ever worked at a restaurant. It was ok, but looking back man what a shit job. The above posters were right, black people are the worst tippers. They would tip in coins. Yes I would have a pile of coins as my tip. Dimes, pennies, nickels.
ReplyDeleteAs for the plaza....it seems to have caught a case of the bannister mall fever. It starts of mildly nausiating and takes a little time to really kick in. Once it goes full blown you are done.
I have dined at several establishments with this policy and as she tried to do paid cash as you go with zero,issues..lif she was going to pay upfront why the hassle???
ReplyDeleteMore "benefits of diversity and inclusion".
ReplyDelete@9:22, I guarantee that stack of bills didn't make an appearance until the video was rolling. Its a fairly common scam. The diner was attempting to "pay cash" at the end of the meal rather than upfront, the restaurant's policy was stated. She grabbed her phone and started making a scene. Common throughout the City.
ReplyDelete@9:13. I worked at the Olive Garden at 95th & Metcalf about 23 or 24 years ago. I drove past it a week or so ago and couldn't believe it's still there.
ReplyDeleteI ended up working in the restaurant industry for about 7 years and it's common knowledge that black people are the worst. If a hostess didn't like you, she'd put black people in your section; managers would retaliate using same method. We would groan anytime we got a table of 2 or more black WOMEN -- they were the worst. A table of black women, forget it, yes, a stack of coins or a buck or two at best.
It's not racist; just the truth.
Hate to say it, but radish had a job parking cars at Harrah's in the '90s and the same was true. Would rarely receive a tip from "certain type" of clientele and I don't even want to specify beyond that. We all groaned when we went to retrieve a car and hot one oh three jams was on the radio when the car started up. But then again I fulfilled stereotype of stoner white kid fishing the ashtray for roaches...
Delete-radish
9:40 lol so you know what I’m talking about. I worked there 15 years ago. Yes, black women are the worst and you are right about the seating. If you were not a good server they would put them in your section. Hospitaliano!
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing about working at Olive Garden is some customers actually thought we had some Italian chef in the back cooking. All the cooks were Mexican and didn’t speak any or little English. They all did coke while they worked too. People would fall for the commercials Darden would make showing some Italian chef in Italy preparing a menu item.
Like you I can’t believe it’s still there at that location. I went in there about 2 or 3 years ago because I had a gift card. They remodeled the entire place. I don’t eat there otherwise.
@9:35... If that is how it played out that makes sense...it just makes no sense for a restaurant or any establishment to turn down cash..saves you the 2-3% credit card companies keep for the transaction...
ReplyDeleteMLKreek runs through the Playza.
ReplyDeletePoor plaza. This is what happens when you don't have a backbone
ReplyDeleteAppealing to the lowest common denominator of intelligence, exactly like Trump just the other side of the spectrum.
ReplyDeleteI wish they'd bring back the smoking sections. Smokers were the best tippers!
ReplyDeleteAnd this stupid lady... what happened to people are just rude sometimes, people snap, we have no idea what was going on with this dude before this encounter. In the old days, you'd say, what a jerk and bitch to your friends, but, ultimately, you'd be forgiven. Not today -- this guy is automatically a racist! I'm sure this same woman has snapped at someone at her work, or at a customer, when shit in her life wasn't going well on a particular day. This social media shit divides us more than Trump or Democrats or anything. It's insane. Everyone should just grown the fuck up and act like adults.
Agreed. People so severe and unforgiving. Gotta give people room to have a bad day. -radish
Delete@10:27 - they probably decided the credit card transaction fee was worth it after so many walk-outs. A lot of restaurants also autograt, which is easy to tack onto a credit card receipt thus deflecting low or no tips (I think the standard is 15% on autograt, so the server is guaranteed something).
ReplyDeleteThey're tired of constantly being fucked over, so must have decided the "start a tab" credit card thing most bars do might work. It probably has, and still will. This poor manager had just had enough and obviously needed to get out of the industry.
I have been asked this multiple times and did I get mad? No,because I understand they deal with plenty dine and dashers.
ReplyDeleteThe restaurant business operates on small margins.
Not everything is racism. F-ck this attention seeking clown.
Simple solution: Post a note at the entrance to Tomfooleries reading "Due to issues with patrons not paying their tabs, we require ALL our guests to provide a credit card prior to ordering their dinner or drinks. We apologize for the inconvenience".
ReplyDeleteNot that I'm good at much, let alone restauranteering, but you couldn't pay me enough to take on the risk of having to serve scheisters, a-holes, cheap-skates, poor employees, and now this ghetto-lottery crap.
ReplyDeleteMan, you realize tkc isn't the MSM. Nor does he shy away from controversial stories involving blacks right? Nor does he really do national stories as he is our local news aggregator.
ReplyDelete@7:12 He sure shied away when a 12 year-old White boy was chased home from school by two Blacks, doused with gasoline told"this is what you get White boy !" and set on fire in 2012 right here in KC ! Not a peep. One local TV station carried it. The horror that occurred in Louisiana should be on everyone's lips in this country. Blacks are animals and they hate Whites.
ReplyDeleteKills City is a shithole.
ReplyDeleteWhites are animals who hate blacks.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't hate blacks before emancipation, only afterwards.
BlieRON, you're a hater and racist. And, you have an OCD that is referred to as a "know-it-all".
DeleteWhen a restaurant requires payment in advance of ordering, I take it as a sign from God. She is telling me I shouldn't be giving them my business.
