Not all beige flags are the same, as evidenced by one bar owner’s take on a TikTok user who boasted about swiping restaurants’ hardware. Nearly 3.5 million viewers have tuned into a scathing review posted by the account in response to one user sharing that her husband pilfers dishes from fancy restaurants.
“My husband’s beige flag is that every time we go to a fancy restaurant and he likes a dish, he will ask for a box and steal it,” the caption reads over a video of a man who shrugs innocently. The video then cuts to macaroni nestled into stoneware crammed into a to-go box. Chen-Chen Huo is the TikToker in the video shared by @ryanandcc, who described the actions as “infuriating.
” Huo is an owner of Polkcha, a San Francisco craft cocktail bar, and explained how such seemingly low-stakes swipes can crumble small businesses. Huo declined TODAY.com’s request for comment.
“This is the kind of sh-- that’s infuriating,” Huo says in the clip. “So we have very nice glasses at our bar. They’re, like, $20 each — they’re very nice; they provide a very good experience.
But recently, we’re like, ‘We should stop buying these very nice glasses to provide our guests a really nice experience because people have been f---ing taking them. So if you need to hear this, hear this: If you take people’s stuff — if you take small business’s stuff — you have no class. That’s all.
” “Guys pls dont take sh-- from small businesses,” the video’s caption .
