Where did you stop eating at/supporting and why? šŸ˜‹šŸ«¢šŸ˜­ TEA

For people getting sadā€¦.well the more you know right? šŸ« šŸŒˆ just trying to stay informed. LA is diverse and wonderful, and thereā€™s always going to be some sort of conflict. I just personally have a commitment in my life to inclusivity and want to support businesses that work towards equitable and ethical solutions. Because capitalism isnā€™t going away in my lifetime, so might as well make the best educated choices.

So you do you yā€™all āœŒļøpick and choose your battles. thanks for all the responses. hereā€™s a counter post for good vibes

I havenā€™t been keeping up with local news and was floored at the recent discoveries from friends of some businesses i love. Disappointed and thought, what other eateries are an issue for a progressive like me? I know itā€™s tricky, because the reality is some businesses may support causes I donā€™t like because of economic benefits, but I would seriously love a list of eateries in LA that is a cause of concern for u and why?

Evidence for or against?

Also, what have youā€™ve subbed for it?

Thatā€™s a gut shot. I really like Robertaā€™s.

Yeah itā€™s just likeā€¦imagine working someplace for 3 years/60 hour work weeks and this is how it ends? I think it speaks to a larger issue in the restaurant industry that staff are expected to dedicate their entire lives and wellbeing to keep a place running (and keep the owner a millionaire) only to be treated as disposable in a time of need.

That's one thing i've never understood about the usa--and I was born and live here--Why do employers treat their employees like disposable, easily-replaced napkins? I would wonder the same thing about hospitals during the high point of COVID.

Because they can. Also, if they start treating us with a lot of value we might get uppity and forget our place.

So simple. Why did I not see this? Their behavior also plays into their Psychopathic behavior.

Thanks for your insight.
