Cooking Up a Lawsuit

- The plaintiff paid the defendant a deposit for catering services, but the plaintiff thought the caterer was unreliable and unprofessional, so the plaintiff decided to go with someone else. When the plaintiff asked the defendant for her deposit back, the defendant refused, so the plaintiff is suing for a refund. The defendant insists everyone knows deposits are non-refundable, and she turned down work to do the plaintiff’s event.
I think she is nasty, but when the defendant blew their appointment off, I call that a good reason to bail, she is not dependable.
I call that her canceling the verbal contract and would of asked for my money back right then and there as she broke the appointment time and had no care.
Unfortunately, I have heard this comment too much from people in my community. As soon as one black person does something that the other black person doesn't like, they blame the entire black community for one person's screw up. It is an irrational reaction that is based on emotions rather than facts.
I hate when people make those comments because business deals go bad in every race
@@Nevaeh1 I agree. It really needs to stop.
It isn’t the skin color or race , it’s the character of the person doing wrong.
@@billmoran3219 exactly!
And if black people are making these comments then how can you expect white people to not do the same thing
WHAT? The defendant breached the contract when she didn't show up for the appointment, so why does she get to keep the deposit. If she doesn't turn up for a simply appointment the plaintiff had every right to lose faith in her and thus cancel and get her money back. And if the defendant is not conducting a business out of her apartment, then she has nothing to worry about with her landlord. The judge is off her game with this verdict...
Because the plaintiff didn’t say right then and there that she didn’t want her business anymore she made an agreement to meet later on so that amended the original agreement
When he said “ stand up for your rights” I bust out laughing because they ended the episode on race and I instantly thought of the movie HOW HIGH with method man and red man and the professor in the classroom said those exact words 😂😂😂😂😂
Idk I disagree on the verdict with this one .
This is why I hate it when our people use the "this is why I don't deal with Black Owned Businesses" trope. Not only did it come back to bite this Lady, but I think people forget that when they make generalized statements like this that they too are in fact, Black and in essence saying it about themselves 🙄🤦🏾♀️
True that😒
It’s disgusting! I hate it
It's a such a disgusting thing that I hear and see often; ppl like that feel like they doing business as a favor. Ppl like that need to keep their money; the smallest situation becomes "see, this why I don't like doing business with black people'.....
Ma'am, you're black...tf?
im sorry but im black and lets be all the way real. Black businesses have poor customer service. Lets talk about black hairstylists for starters.
@jessica lanae so your trynna act like people of all races can't be rude or have bad customer service ? We can always start with the people that run 7/11 , we can talk about the people making fun of you while your paying to get your feet done etc. Every group of people will have some bad apples. Doesn't mean anything but they are humans
The plaintiff was dead wrong for trying to get the defendant evicted over something that could have easily been worked out. Smh
I agree that was just nasty
It's also unsanitary to cook like a vender in a home and that's why buisness have to fallow the law and get health inspections and such.
@@YvonneNonYa But you don’t know if she was cooking out of her apartment or not. She had no proof that she was cooking out of her apartment.
Evict that hoe gotta pay to play
Absolutely.
No Adrian Prince comment yet?
I agree with the ruling, the lady didn’t give the defendant enough time to makeup for her no show and got nasty real quick. She tried to get the defendant evicted and her business license suspended, effectively taking her livelihood.
That was NOT cool & it bit her b the butt .
I wouldn't hand over a deposit before I sign a contract.
I don't blame her for canceling the contract, her lack of urgency & professionalism may have come through at the party. Her missing an appointment at her home shows she has poor time management (CPT), but the plaintiff should have taken the partial deposited return & not gotten so vindictive (bad karma).
I was thinking the same thing ! As a black person we are always on Black People Time!
In this case, I think the plaintiff should've won. The defendant screwed up the appt. And why would you think you deserve the deposit when you know you did nothing to earn it and your client is unhappy?
It doesn’t matter if the initial appointment was missed, the plaintiff was the one that breached the contract. She cancelled the whole contract when her grievances could have been resolved. The resolution for the unhappy client would be to give the defendant a chance to remedy the situation. Legally, the defendant did nothing wrong 🤷♀️
Deposits are usually non refundable. When you pay a deposit, you’re not paying for a service. You’re paying to make the service available to you on a certain date. The plaintiff was basically paying to be placed in the defendant’s calendar for catering services
@@Bakaferret wasn't the initial appointment to sign the contract?
@@HeatherWho11.10 You don't have to physically sign a contract. Verbal contracts are still contracts as they stated multiple times this episode if you were listening.
Missing one appt is not a material breach. Therefore the parties still had a verbal contract. Plaintiff dismissing the defendant was plaintiff’s breach of the contract. Since the depositor breached, the depositee is entitled to keep the deposit. That’s all.
Disagree w/ the verdict. Plaintiff shouldve won.
The plaintiff is pathetic. She does realize she's shooting herself in the foot when she makes negative claims about "black business" as a whole right?
The law aside, the lady that took the $500, and was a "non-apologetic-no-show," didn't deserve to keep the money. It was obvious she cared only about the money, and not about the good care and treatment of her client. I'm glad the client pivoted, and ran the other way!
Exactly.
I agree because one thing is important to me, my reputation as a member of my church, this comes way before money. Money can be replaced. She should have offered half back.
@@marilynwillett804 The judge said at one point she did offer money back and the plantiff didn't accept.
Here too early - please let me know when Adrian comments. Thanks 🌹
Who the heck is Adrian???? Your like the 3ed person in the comments to say something about Adrian..
@@Idontwantafuckinghandle588 he's the ⭐ of the comment section. Watch some other cases and scroll the comments for Adrian Prince.....
😂🤣😂🤣 I just wrote ‘no comment from Adrian Prince yet?’
@@Idontwantafuckinghandle588~ he hates women, the judge is wrong, she hates black people, he says ‘this is always why you buy new’ & ‘don’t be roommates, things always go wrong. And by the way, his mom bought his house & he’s never had to make a mortgage payment.
***Adrian Prince**** There’s other Adrian’s.
I always look for his comment first…. Why? I’m crazy🤪
I feel the plaintiff should have explained her black business statement better...because many of us believe and know that some black businesses are shady...overpriced and alot of times lack good representation...so yeah I knew what she was saying...you get burned by so many why not go elsewhere to do business
I've had several issues with My People and poor business etiquette. I've been burned a lot . I haven't given up on supporting black owned businesses but I'm just very particular about which business I choose to support.
Just a lack of excellence regarding B businesses
@@mrshappilymarried1 There's poor business etiquette from businesses run and owned by people of every race.
Why does black even need to be brought up?
@@brandengrass8340 because it pisses you off more when it's your own people! Call it like it is. Idgad about white businesses because they're EVERYWHERE. My people don't own half the universe so when they open a business they should Respect it enough to provide the very best. Stop half assing!
How did the defendant get the money without the plaintiff signing a contract on the spot?
Exactly. Who hands over a $500 deposit with no contract! Crazy. That's just asking for a sticky situation.
Yo Adrian..
Where are you, lol
Lmao I'm literally in the middle of scrolling right now to see if he commented yet 😅 you know he gonna have something to say about this one 😂
The Plaintiff favors Kim Burrell
Yess
Plaintiff is just missing the BIG glasses that Kim Burrell wears😅😂
I understand how it sounds but at the end of the day anyone who’s actually black knows that within our community, we try to support each other, and our businesses all the time, and we tend to spit in each others faces, and not provide the same level of service that we would the white man. Let alone provide good service at all, sometimes. We’re not the only race that doesn’t have good service sometimes but there’s specifically a big problem in the black community with how we treat each other when it comes to business or and how we act when we’re in charge of a business. It’s not all of us, but I honestly feel like it’s one of those things that if you’re not my skin color, you just could never understand because you won’t experience it because you’re not a part of the black community.
I agree with your statement!
So what is it? You try to support each other or you're shitty with each other?
Many people add Jesus to their lives but they never get around to making Him Lord and Savior, thus, they are not Born-Again and they are not saved. Please, gently share
God’s truth with these people and continue to pray for them so that they may truly come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
I hope you are all having a good day ❤
You as well 😊
😁
Likewise
NOPE she’s right ! So many BOB are horrible unprofessional and just plain disrespectful…I’m so over it
Yes
That's why they don't have any businesses in the hood😢
5:10 The judge needs to understand the defendant is a good church going Christian woman. She doesn’t have to return calls or apologize
In my opinion I don’t agree with the ruling. The defendant showed her inability to be punctual and professional. How could she be reliable for a huge catering job ? The plaintiff should’ve gotten the deposit money back to be able to use it for a more professional business.
@Suzette Armenta, when did you go to law school for 7 years and spend 4 years in an attorney's office? Nope bet you did not.
@@trekgirl65
Wow, angry are we???? It’s a TV court case. Relax! If you read my post it clearly stated, “In my opinion”. I never stated or claimed to be a lawyer. This platform is about us all being respectful to one another about each others opinions. Clearly your driven by attitude and anger. I wish you the best in your journey! It must take a lot of energy to be so angry.
would u believe ive heard the name suzette b4 , also man that lady doesnt look old enough to reitre suprised judge didnt say that ps i aree with u
I think the plaintiff proved the defendant was unreliable, it’s just her conduct after that soured the judge. A person that didn’t show or respond in a timely manner for a meeting the first time would give any customer doubt about hiring. Defendant had the deposit, it was her obligation to reschedule her missed appointment !
plaintiff was nasty.
I would have been pissed TH off about the way the defendant handled that contract signing. I can’t stand business owners who act like you are doing THEM a favour by contacting them. Hella annoying.
Defendant is completely unprofessional. First, if you are a business owner, keep track of your appointments! Second, had that happened to me, I would have immediately apologized profusely and offered to leave my event right then and meet her in 10 minutes. If that was impossible, then once you get home you immediately contact the client, apologize profusely again, and make an effort to set up another meeting as soon as possible. The fact that not only did she never apologize, but then she made no attempt to contact her afterward, is utterly unprofessional. It almost seems like she took the deposit with the intention of not doing anything and then ripping the client off. I hope all of her potential future clients see this video to know what kind of a person she is.
The defended stated that she learned the lesson, What did you learn You kept her money, lost a customer and you could have worked out something, maybe half of the money back and came out of the courtroom with a smile on your face, #noconscience..#morals #principles. Your own people
Who throws themself a retirement party of 200 people?
The same person who throws themselves a Birthday Bash. It's been done for ages...who says you can't celebrate yourself or that you have to wait for someone else to do it? That's ridiculous...
@@mrshappilymarried1 I agree, celebrate yourself! People that do, and invite their friends, have a very generous nature.
People who are arrogant .obnoxious
@@armandowifey8623 bingo
People who have put decades of hard work in and want to celebrate no longer having to clock in to a 9-5! I think it’s great to celebrate yourself and your accomplishments, surrounded by your loved ones and peers. I’ve been to some great retirement parties!
Judge called the plantiff a racist wondering when adrian going to come and say the judge racist for doing that
Right 😂
Oh it’s coming... prince where are yooooouuu
😂
she IS a racist. change it to a white plaintiff wanting to only do business with a white caterer. same thing.
karen......
For church people these ladies were very mean, i would always support small black owed business, my son has his own business, the thing about having your own business is that you need to know how to treat people and how to talk to people and how to treat everyone with respect, instead of trying to pull the rug from under some one your going to run into a tuff customer but you do your best to work it out🤗
(Not challenging you but the comment)
What does church people have to do with anything? People who go to church can do & continue to do cruel & inappropriate things.
One would assume that going to church means you do everything with love & the right thing. But that’s not always the case. I know people who are jerks who go to church & people who are the most wonderful people who go to church & live by the Bible. I don’t go to church but I try to live my life like I do go to church.
so is it ok to only support white owned business? or is that racist?
@@RileyCullen1 every ww2 era german went to church.
@@RileyCullen1 I don't know but I assume her church is Christian, a true Christian knows the Word, it is engraved on her heart. You are either of God or of the world but it seems some keep one foot in the world. How beautiful would be the scent going up to God if she said '' your honor I decided to give her back her money'' then went over to hug the friend.
Sometimes in a church is where you find the most snakes.Those good ole Sunday Christians.
It’s y’all in the comments trying to be dense. Be real or be quiet - there is a need for customer service training in the black community. We always scream “support black businesses”, and many of those businesses turn around and are rude, have inconsistent/changing hours EVERY DAY, don’t communicate, show up late with no concern and charge you extra if you breathe too hard during the appt, ETC…. It’s not all, but it’s TOO MANY!!!! Yea, WE KNOW not all businesses of other races are perfect, but I don’t care about them because I care about MY PEOPLE doing better. We have to hold ourselves accountable so we can progress and be a community. I’m not spending my $ anywhere it’s not appreciated.
I think what hurt the Plaintiff was the text about doing business with black people. The judge definitely wasn't feeling that too well.
Black people are unprofessional when it comee down to businesses. Alot of them never went to school to understand the basics of being professional. I don't blame her for saying that
Those sort of businesses are notorious for being terrible, having bad customer service, and quality. So I get what she was saying, it's unfortunate, but it's true
Too bad. If the plaintiff acted a bit better and less hostile she could of gotten something back since the defendant was willing to give back sum money. Now u threatened her and took her to court and found out she don't gotta give u anything. Oh well ms "I ain't gonna do business with black people no more" or whatever she said lol
Always a good thing when a bully gets put in her place. 😂😂😂
In all fairness, race shouldn’t play a part in whose business I frequent…BUT in my experiences, black businesses feel entitled to my business and the service is sometimes subpar.
I support a good business. Customer service is very important to me.
I don’t agree with this verdict at all. Defendant was unprofessional
🙄 nobody ever has that same mentality when it comes to other ppls businesses. The self hate is real smh
This was so wrong and sad that people can treat each other so horribly for no good reason. It's worse that in my community we do it to each other
Why would you keep money when you did nothing, the defendant was being an a$$.
JM, is wrong, defendant broke contract, when she didn't show up or take the initiative to contanct plaintiff after she didn't show up. The plaintiff saying she don't usse B,O,B freedom of speech! That's her opinion on how the plaintiff feel. Plaintiff should of won. This wasn't law this was using her freedom of speech against her! Shame on JM. Cause her cases seems unfair to certain people. She shouldn't have even read that! Shameful
YES IT WAS A SHAME, that was her valid opinion, and the judge din't respect it. perhaps her opinion was based on statistics.
The ruling was wrong she should have received all her money.
I think the judge had this case wrong her no show to the appointment was the buisness owner canceling there verbal contract first and client should of asked for refund then not have waited as she was justified at that point that she's unreliable and has no care! She should of not of worded it the way she did or excuse her no show on appointment and she would of won. It pays to not be nice especially when it's a buisness deal.
Just because you’re justified in canceling the contract doesn’t mean you get your money back. Deposits are paid to hold your spot in the person’s calendar. They’re not for the actual service
Its not racist its prejudiced 😕
It's no surprise she's gotta throw her own party.
What's that supposed to mean?
Uhh yeah. She's not a child. Most adults that have birthday parties finance and throw their own parties.
Judge was wrong in this case
Women getting nasty with each over over the phone and texts? Doesn't surprise me..
And your just Einstein for figuring that out arentbya?
Always do business based on skin color. The judge should have recused herself and suggest they go to a black judge. Nice job society.
She should've gone to a blk Judge.....MO......
please know that she will follow through with the claim!
Bad decision
Plaintiff should have have half her money back at least
YES BECAUSE BOTTOM LINE-- SHE GOT 500 FOR DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, my conscience would never allow that.
Thank you JM for calling out the racism. I’m sick of the “this why I don’t support black owned businesses” BS!! it really makes it seem like all black owned businesses are the same. Unprofessionalism comes in all races!!!! Support the better business!
Exactly
Unfortunately, this has been my experience as well when patronizing black businesses. Yes, unprofessionalism occurs in other races, but I have experienced it quite frequently with black businesses. In fact, I am experiencing it now. You can't dismiss people's experiences just because you don't like it. It's a real thing.
@@SweetLivingByGrace I can’t imagine you being a patron of every black business. People like u and the plaintiff are the problem in the black community. The entire point is that while people like you will get treated poorly or have a bad experience in any environment you only call out the black owned businesses. It’s very sad.
Because sometimes it's your own people so we're relating to those of black businesses ,it's more of a indirect statement.#notallblackbusinesses..I'm a black business owner..
Girl bye …that wasn’t racism that was facts …a lot of BOB do not respect your time then act unprofessional when you ask for your money back IM OVER IT
if the default is deposits are not refunded then we can all start businesses, take a deposit, go to church and ignore the customer.
just do that everyday, and make a living that way without ever doing anything for any customers.
the plaintiff wants to hand a party. puts down a deposit, and looses it WHY ??????
she looses her deposit because she wants to have a party.
if you put down a deposit to have a party, just consider that money gone, even if you fully intend to have that party and the corridor completely blows you off.
horrible judgment.
it makes zero sense.
I don’t even see retiring from another billionaire company as a celebration anymore unless your also a billionaire
I’ve only watched this show on TH-cam so I’ve never seen it on actual TV. This entire fucking time I thought it was fans who filled the background, but those are people with cases just waiting for their turn like actual court😂
Sometimes our ppl can be a little difficult to do business with. Most black businesses requires a deposit. There's a black owned car wash that requires a reservation deposit in MD.
Judge missed the mark about the comment on black owned businesses. Plaintiff was basically saying defendant conducting business this poorly is detrimental to black people using black owned businesses in the future. Look how we treat each other
Why are you giving someone money without a contract??? " i didn't know", " i thought" aint gone cut it. It wouldn't matter what her skin tone is/was, you would have lost your deposit.
Plaintiff should have definitely got her money back especially without a signed contract
Signed contract doesn't matter. There was a meeting of the minds.
I have to side with the plaintiff despite the law. The way the caterer mishandled the meeting and the scheduling follow up is a sign of sloppy business practices. I would have canceled her out too. 👀
Since, the plaintiff couldn't get a refund she was better off working something out with the defendant. When someone has your money your at their mercy so be kind until the contract is complete and never deal with them again.
But on the good side the plaintiffs hair looks nice 🤷🏽♀️
I dont agree with this judgement… the defendant out the gate is blowing off the appts… that would make anyone want to cancel services and ask for a refund
The cancellation of the meeting was not fundamental to the non performance of the agreement.
Even before that the plaintiff unilaterally cancelled the contract meanwhile the defendant didn’t act in bad faith by any way.
The audience reaction at 7:40 when mentioning not doing business with black people is very interesting. not a good look 😮
Good thing judge is retiring, she makes the wrong call sometimes.
Defendant was willing to give you some of the money but when you go there with the race car and everything else that's what happens You lose the case
MAN This job is the biggest flp flopper. this case was clearly for the plaintiff
Making a statement like that just shows how slavery was able to shape even the way we view our own ppl. The Caucasian lady in the green shirt was in agreement with that statement.
So it's ok for ppl to duck & dodge folk after getting a deposit and not be held liable for returning it???
This case hurt her too once she made that comment about black ppl, judge did not like that statement.
aint that right doug STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS
JM it's not racism if its said to the same race. Coming from the black culture what has probably happened is she's done business with her race and there has been issues and maybe she's had more than one of the same kind of experience with people of color that relate to people not calling back or following up. BEEN THERE so I know what she. Meant.
Stand up for your rights sounds like a Bob Marley song to me
Funny as hell judge called the black lady a racist of black peoples
She should have just got her money back she was unreliable
BOB happens all the time and it doesn't look like succeeds.
Only $10 per person.... food was cheap 😮
Report her to BBB and tell her landlord… that’s right
JM know she would do business with Cubans stop.
Why are "your people" based on skin tone?
The defending attitude is very nonchalant she’s unprofessional you can tell she has a nasty attitude. She just didn’t give a daaaammnn.
Plaintiff is talking about she doesn’t support “Black” Businesses while the defendant shouldn’t be servicing “Black” folks like her that vindictively try to take her home and business away for a NONREFUNDABLE DEPOSIT.
Straight crazy isn't it?
Not supposed to run a business in a residential area. Law there.
@@trekgirl65 and yet ppl support Alley Mechanics, unlicensed contractors, and other side business hustlers. Don’t give money out you aren’t prepared to lose or spend. She also never confirmed that woman ran an entire Catering business out of her home, just assumed and tried get her evicted.
Everything is a miss understanding
I’m embarrassed.
I'm glad she didn't get it
I'm not sure what the phone issue was. Sounds like I would have made the same mistake because I have no clue what she was talking about on the text messaging, and I do type a lot of text messages. After that interaction, it sounds like even though the defendant had already turned down two parties for that date, she was offering to return a portion of the down payment to the plaintiff. Instead, the plaintiff decided it was time to start making a racial remark about black owned businesses, then pulling out the big guns and making out and out threats!
I stand with the defendant! Despite the fact that the plaintiff had no valid reason to drop out of their verbal contract, the defendant had had enough! The milk of human kindness dried up when the threats and the racist remark started. She would not return the deposit, rightfully so.
You Reep, what you sow
I dont blame the plantiff our own people do be on some bullshit
Defendent is a con artist
Doug tho. ..lmbo
The defendant didn't apologize the way people thought she should but she did apologize and I don't condone the way she handled everything but the plaintiff is the one who should've reached out since she gave another time. I would also think that since she said later in the week, then that means you'll let me know what date. And I'm sure she already knew deposits are non-refundable, that is definitely by default whether you sign something or not. She probably would've gotten her money back, without even having to come to court if she didn't resort to bullying and racism lol.
You'd think her co workers would throw the party. Bring a dish to pass.
Are retirement parties a big thing? I’m 68 (retired) and have never been to one. Also, is it typical to throw it for yourself or have coworkers or friends do it for you?
My aunt threw my moms retirement party. But at my job we usually do a little potluck for whoever is retiring.
@@Thequeenbee707 Thank you.
NOT typical to throw it for yourself…not in the least.
Absolutely. It's very typical for people to throw themselves a party for ANY occasion. Perhaps they enjoy planning parties and they're very particular how they want every detail. There aren't any rules to planning parties.🎉
Retirement parties are very common. Sometimes people throw it for themselves (if they want it a certain way), sometimes your company throws it for you, and sometimes someone else throws it for you.
😂😂did the judge really just try to call her racist
This judge is very P .C. and doesn't accept anything else.
I agree
