- One teen’s hard work and dedication is now turning into a booming business.
Jacob Irving opened a food truck, which now has the Montgomery community buzzing. And it’s not just because of how the food tastes, but because of the drama that unfolded after the food truck started operating next to a steakhouse.

It's wrong for people to use the other restaurants facilities when they aren't paying customers. I can understand his frustrations.
Charge this racist kid for restroom useage, parking and trash cleanup and disposal.
@Fallen A And then get sued for it.
Exactly
Owners of both businesses did nothing wrong.
Inconsiderate customers are to blame.
@Fallen A what?
He could have kept an eye on that going on without the hotdogs and free ice cream sign.
I understand the steakhouse owners frustration over people using his facilities and parking spots. I'm behind him 100% in that regard. As for the young hot dog stand owner, I commend him for his astuteness and maturity. I'm glad both owners were able to work it out and I hope it stays that way. God bless.
Their just a bunch of jealous haters
Problem is...the steakhouse is many hundreds of thousands of dollars investment and property taxes, etc. and the hotdogs stand is 20k and is basically squatting.
@@willybones3890 hows that a problem? All business are responsible for their own parking lots and bathrooms. That is not the food trucks problem.
I live in elpaso and these folks just took a corner gradually. I mean they just took it they've got seats tents I think they've even got electricity over the past four year. but for all I know the may be the owners 😂.. sic.
If he was so mature, couldn't he have foreseen the trouble he would cause being across the street from another restaurant?
I love that this 16yr old started a business and is carrying on a legacy, but I also don't think the other business owner did anything wrong, he made some good points. I do hope both of them succeed.
Well if you don't suck seed the first time keep on sucking till you do suck seed
Yea at least say "hey alot of your customers come in here and use my bathroom I need at least $0.50 per customer you know which ones do it you aren't blind, you set up Infront of my business so either pay a tax or go somewhere else"
FACTS!💜
He really didn't tho lol. The second he tried to insert that hot dog stands and steak houses are competitors all of his points became null. Who grabs their family and says hey let's go to the steakhouse down the road and then change into their mind for a hot dog? By this guy's logic the kid should run a sale on steak dinners and whatever they specialize in.
the only loosers are democRATs as the 16 year old when of voting age will NEVER vote democRAT...!
It's great that there's a community group that actually gets people together to amend their differences, before it gets dangerous for either party or ends up in the horrendous legal system.
That wasn't it why the community leader did that. It was about a young white male setting up shop across the parking lot of a Asian business owner of a steakhouse which could be looked at as racist especially them being in a country town.
@@spankbuda7466 Ah, the race card. I was hoping we'd make it out of this discussion without someone tossing it out there. You lose.
Nah, in a competitive and free market economy, "no free lunches". And that is exactly what the white kid was doing, smooching off someone's expenditures while reaping the benefits.
If the tables were turned, these guys wouldn't come to the aid of the Asian business owner & I'm sure of that.
BS cumbaya 🙄
Shout out to the mediators.
As a former racist Asian, I can use the race card, and I use it here. But that's not the only reason...
Seems to me like it's not either one of the business owners fault. It's the disrespectful customers that have no respect for people's property but then again what's new.
The fact that you actually believe that in 8 days, people were eating food, and then walking across the street with their trash, just to leave it in the restaurants parking lot is actually hilarious. You must believe whatever comes out of anyone mouth right? Must believe in Santa to. Did you see the trash? The mess? Or just taking what comes out of his mouth as fact?
@@optimalpowersimracing6625 my point exactly. Who has the energy to eat a hot dog outside, WALK ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER ESTABLISHMENT, LITTER ON SOMEONE ELSE’S PROPERTY, and calmly walk back to the food truck where you parked. PE-TTY!
It is but if I have my life savings tied up in the truck of the restaurant 😂I'm not trying to hear, ultimately falls back on the truck, if you wanna post respect the steaks house busy hours "parking" and gotta pick up the trash behind your customers. No different then waste management policies enforced on the restaurant
I believe that is the underlying issue. It’s the trash and people using up the steakhouse parking. I’m sure the owners can come up with a solution.
you mean to tell me these people are just walking into a Steak restaurant without being customers and nobody has stopped them ??? Not a customer No bath room simple as that. I call bs on this one. The guy is just lossing money not the kids fault. I rather pay for a few hot dogs then to take the whole family out for steaks. Unless it was a birthday party or mothers day for the wife.
I am so glad to see news like this posted due to all the drama in our country. To see a young teen doing something good is amazing.
I see you everywhere beloved. How have you been? 🥰
Exactly what I said yes I'm ecstatic
@@Lucho0335 what did he say?
Wow you Americans are a joke.
So what about the people that invested into the statehouse. What this teen did is disgusting. He is no business man he is a joke and will get destroyed in the future
@@ironfist458 I’m doing well and yourself. I try to Surat the positivity when I can ☺️
I understand the restaurant owners frustration. Cleaning up bathrooms from non customer use is awful
I dont really like the guy , Ive purposely shet in the corner of bathroom and get a to-go ice water
Hot dog is unhealthy and give you the worst diarrhea.
@@malcolmbaldwin5735 lol
@@malcolmbaldwin5735 HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
@@malcolmbaldwin5735 because he's Asian?
Its no misunderstanding. This kids customers should not use the steak house facilities if they're not patronizing the steak house.
No disrespect to the sixteen-year-old I respect his Hustle No Doubt and I think it's great that he's trying to keep his grandfather's Legacy alive however when you park your food truck across from an establishment that's been there for over 20 years you should expect some competition and you should expect people to complain especially the owner when your customers are leaving a mess in his parking lot and parking in his parking
is he responsible for grown people littering? there is a trashcan and even if there wasnt, they are adults and if they litter thats on them, same for the parking spots, there is a parking lot there, but grown people choosing to be lazy and park at the steak house is also not his responsibility.
He’s not responsible for that lol. Imagine if McDonald’s opened next door and ppl were throwing McDonald’s cups around, that’s not on McDonald’s .
@@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYN all valid points lol
So whats the difference when McDonald's, Taco Bell and Burger King opens on the same Street, ya see it all the time!!!
Its Competition and free market!
the teen was disrespectful
As a former food truck owner . I would never set up that close to a brick and mortar establishment in the first place . Not because of competition but out of respect for the other business. In Phoenix we had certain places to set up in none restaurant areas unless it was a special event planned .
Create your own space
Thank you for stating the obvious, this young man is in the wrong in my book. This is why many food trucks have been run out of many areas. I used to own one and know first hand.
You can’t create your own space when everywhere you turn is project housing or buildings coming up, he’s 16, probably struggling as it is with other duties, and on top of that the steak house owner makes the prices low because “life isn’t fair?” Wtf?? Life isn’t fair, so quit trying to put them on your level, let them be successful while it lasts, I get the bathroom and parking stuff but the other owner even when I went there for steak he treated his employees with no respect, they were rolling their eyes at everything he said
@@mmg4500 if you don't know anything about that industry then you clearly wouldn't understand the rules and ethics behind it.
Know one is downing the kid from being successful. But he himself clearly doesn't understand the space rule either . But give it time he'll learn . The owner of the steakhouse has a hell of a lot more to loose and NTM has been there longer probably before this kid had a license to begin with. Either way it's bad business
@@martzmilner4852 you sold a hotdog once out of a truck and now you are the moral authority of all venders everywhere, LOL
Lol so he either bought or leased the land and got permission from the city to operate. What else do you want. He’s not in the wrong I’d say he should make sure his customers know not to use other peoples facilities but if he’s operating Perdue they to his lease zoning and business license he’s free and clear. Y’all out here acting like he just pulled up and set up shop in the steakhouse parking lot. Nope kid leased a lot adjacent.
I respect the kids hustle but the other business owner has legitimate concerns regarding the parking lot and restrooms. Glad that people decided to try to mend the situation rather than stoking the flames. I hope both businesses are able to move forward in good faith efforts to provide for the community and their own families.
I like the Montgomerys ways lol
Maybe try not serving overpriced hot garbage at your restaurant and people will actually want to eat there. This is America right?
@@xandror Did you even watch the video. No one said the restaurant served overpriced hot garbage.
@@Xx-po1fu maybe he's from Montgomery? Thank God the community leaders stepped up to save the situation.
@@xandror I'm sure it doesn't cost him more to operate a restaurant than a kid driving around in a truck. Now he's picking up garbage, his parking lot being used, and folks overcrowding his restrooms. People who cut costs always do so at others expense.
This is the way reporting should be…..balanced. ❤️✊🏻🙏🏻
The Kid is Doing good running his own Business, but he got to Respect his Neighboring Business. Clean after your Customers and give the other business owner some space.
He's a teenager selling hotdogs in a trailer. His neighboring business has a steak house. How is that disrespectful?
What a lot of people don't realize is that when you have a small business and you bring in a lot of customers then the people who are at that business they may notice the other business that they may have not noticed before and decide to go there as well so it's a good thing for both businesses.
@@jjohnson6406 do you own a small business? You’re really going to pretend another restaurant is good for his restaurant? Lmfao 😂 it’s all fine as long as it isn’t affecting your business right?
@@jjohnson6406 It's called Business 101. On one side of a street there could be 3 Popeye's, a mom and pop's chicken place and 2 KFC's. Versus on the opposite side a Target, Best Buy and Walmart. Would you see them arguing on the News? No. Because, at the end of the day- it's business. And in business, no matter how big or small you are as a company- there's always going to a competitor who offers their customers and yours- the same merchandise either cheaper or more expensive than you. But, you never fold- or throw in your cards. Because, as a business person- it is your job to restrategize- create new promotional outlets to grab your customers' attention. That Resturant owner had every right to offer a new promotion. Just like if KFC offers a 3 wings for $4 Popeye's would adjust and amp up their promotions. He's not the only person in the world that can sell hot dogs. They both can be great.
@@jjohnson6406 sounds like you’ve never worked a day ever.
They shouldn’t be using the business bathroom and parking lot when buying at the mobile restaurant. That is just absolutely wrong.
Yea but there probably isn’t any other space
@@Chillsarahh
Ummm…business owners are supposed to be responsible for typical business use.
You can’t invite a bunch of people to a location and NOT provide typical accommodations.
That’s just how business works.
@@Chillsarahh Can't they go before they go to that hot dog stand?
@@Chillsarahh trees and behind someone’s house for starters you know.
@@Chillsarahh that’s not the restaurants problem.
Support both businesses, the kid needs to put signs up for the litter bugs.
I didn't see any garbage on the ground in the video and there is a trash can right in front of the food truck.
@@rogersmith7808 You didn’t watch the whole report? The owner of the restaurant clearly stated, the people were using his parking lot, to eat the hot dogs they purchased from the truck and then dump their garbage in his lot.
@@kittenpawsbb how dare a kid make a profit without workin 38 hours a week and not getting benefits anyway.
@@kittenpawsbb so it must be true. I mean the owner said it.
Tow truck on site for awhile will solve parking and signs
Get multiple trash cans and inform customers to be courteous!
Easy to pretend youre taking the moral high ground when you're not the one getting screwed. I feel for the owner of the restaurant
he isn't getting screwed he has every right to limit the use of his recourses to customers and to lower the price of his food just like that kid has every right to run his stand
its America he is anger about the competition not the bathroom or parking lot
The issue is he was not getting screwed. My stand had not even been open when he put that sign up. The sign was up when I arrived for my first morning open. How is it possible that my customers were using his facilities when I literally wasn’t open yet. The other issue is theres no way he can prove that it’s my customers using his facilities. We are in a small town with lots of shops and stores all in a close proximity. People come all the time to walk around and shop as well as to eat.
@@jacobirving559 it's crazy just how many people are just trashing on you, especially knowing that, these people are just mad someone's younger than them doing some cool stuff, you keep at it bro, sorry people are poopy
@@LETxMYxNUTSxGO thanks dude I appreciate it
@@LETxMYxNUTSxGO thanks dude I appreciate it
I definitely understand the owners frustration imagine countless people
That’s not even stopping or considering buying anything in your store taking a huge load in your bathrooms and leaving all so you can clean it up afterwards.
But at the same time he should listen to his own advise of how life isn't fair and that he now has competition. Lol!
Nothing wrong with that, I'd do it 😹👍
@@juanquiroz7888 yes competition but not taking shet for free.
@@777VOID-1 that's why he put that sign up, see problem solve noone said it was going to be fair shet. XD
I think the restraunt owner was fibbing a little, he seems stingy, and he has a note on the door that only paying customers can use the restrooms, I'm sure he's quick as a fox to jump on anyone who tries to break that rule. As for the parking, the food truck is in a separate parking lot and none of us know for sure unless we've actually been, so that's hard to say.
I am glad you covered both sides, because at first I thought the store owner was being a jerk, but after hearing his side... he makes some very valid points. Parking, trash, and more he may have to clean up, using his bathrooms? Come on.
The kid needs to move away from that location and park near stores without a restraunt in the same perimeter.
I'd be extremely irked if a food truck decided to open next to my casual dining establishment.
I'd offer free hotdogs out of spite to get him to move.
that kid doesn't need to move anywhere. The steak house should be burnt to the ground.
fake name, ScottOne, I'll bet you a Biden D rider too, get off that kids Dee.
The kid is allowed to be there unless the laws/ordnances change. The store owner made some good points if we were evaluating this from our emotions but there are laws that govern these situations. If he had a business and someone wants to use the restroom it doesn’t matter if they are a customer or not.
My question is: does the town have locations that would feasibly permit moving?
If this is about community, petition the mayor to dedicate a lot (it doesn't have to be much; gravel and power connections will do) to food trucks. So many small towns across the country have started doing this, because people are realizing that food trucks just aren't going away. This is one of the last vestiges of the American Dream - don't take it away from people.
I fully understand the frustration of the restaurant owner. The food truck's customers park in the restaurant parking lot, preventing the restauranteur's customers from parking and thus choking off his business, dump their garbage there, use his restroom, and then run off and bad mouth him. I appreciate the kid's entrepreneurial chops, but free riding off the restauranteur's investment and costs . . . well, hero is not the word that comes to mind. And what's wrong with the restauranteur offering $1.50 hotdogs and free ice cream? It's called pushing back.
Bingo!
I agree.
Yes yes...
I 100% agree with this statement!
Absolutely 👍🏽👏🏽. I’m amazed how many people in this comment section, didn’t catch all the points you mentioned. They still think it’s about some “competition” about the food. And this owner is bullying a 16yo. It just took listening to the grievances from both side, to clear this all up. Thank you 🤗
I totally understand the restaurant owner's frustration
Neither of these dudes is a bad guy. I'm glad it was a simple misunderstanding and its now resolved. I'm fairly certain social media made this much worse than it should have been. There's room for everyone!
A capitalist market always works well when the market regulates its self when you start making regulation the highest bidder controls the market thru government corruption
Simple misunderstanding? Did you not hear the part where the old dude said he's trying to teach kids a lesson? 1:31 There was no misunderstanding. He just told you why he did it.
The customers that would use his parking lot and dump their garbage, we’re the real cause of the problem.
@@kittenpawsbb This guy fights dirty. How do you know what he's saying is true?
@@Zizzyyzz You don’t operate a business and use other businesses facilities to run it without compensation. There’s nothing wrong with the idea but you have to take into account the behavior of your customers and what they may or may not do. You can’t just take from the world and think it revolves around you.
In my city, food trucks aren’t allowed within a certain distance from any restaurant establishment.
Right, here in Chicago, they have that rule, so they come downtown, and make a little food court, with there trucks.
Snobs
In my city food trucks aren't allowed within 4 miles from a restaurant.
@@slimpickens01 Is that where you eat.
Exactly. That's a zoning issue in most cities. The only exception is when it's a food truck park. But on the other hand a steakhouse shouldn't feel threatened by a hot dog business. Two totally different markets.
Parking in front of a restaurant to sell food is a bold and competitive move in the first place. I think when the kid calls the restaurant owner "petty", it showed disregard for his own actions. I can't imagine that was the only space for him to park his food truck.
Not really, steak house and a hotdog stand have very different cliental, you can't just blanketly just say they both are selling food and act like there is no more nuance or context. That is just poor critical thinking skills, let alone poor economic deduction.
Yeah because food places can't be on the same block are you dumb or something?
Don’t listen to morons. 100% agree with your view point.
I’m upset that the owner was forced to change his tactics. If I didn’t know better this seems like racism to me. And I’m white FYI.
exactly
Agreed! That was very disrespectful, and I don’t see how they “resolved” the issue.
I love how the little girl muffs the hotdog on live tv and the camera shifts away 🤣
I honestly thought the restaurant owner handled that situation extremely well. I'd be frustrated too.
How? Many gas stations have another gas station right across the street. Same as many cities have restaurants on both sides of the road.
@@ballstothewall38 That's extremely different. If a gas station opens up across the street it's a fair playing field. The food truck can just move locations, doesn't have to pay rent, and doesn't have to have insurance for the location. You would be pissed if you saved up and found an ideal location and made sure no restaurants were nearby. Then you spent money on rent and remodeling and staff for a food truck to pull up and park outside of your place. It's like you buying a house for a trailer to pull up and park on your front lawn.
I would complain about people coming to jus use the restrooms only!
Gotta serve more than steak to keep customers nowadays! For some people steaks are on the weekends(Fri Sat Sun)! Shouldn’t worry about a hotdog/stand mon-thurs!? Keep doing you & check your pricing! Lol!
Ikr…. Some people want a hotdog 🌭!
And you can’t stop them from getting one 🤠😂
Why frustrated? He said himself there is competition everywhere.. why would his steak house be an exception?
@@ballstothewall38 but they usually come to an agreement with price setting
I'm really glad to see that these were mature people that was able to work this out in a positive way. Great 👌 to job guys. To the 16y old keep your head up. Your on the right track. God bless all of you
it went in one favor.. the kid called the situation petty & even said he wasn't going to move locations. 🤣
Who cares
So positive they called the local news to handle the situation.
Kid called him petty. Hes not mature his mom told him not to make a big deal over it. Kid dosent have a big staff and family to support. Hes 16
If the local tv news wouldn’t have been called, God only knows how far the steak owner would have taken this. He was petty, greedy and just plain and simply 5TuP1D.
This is a great story. I’m glad it was covered I’m also glad they interview both sides. The steakhouse owner was getting a bad wrap. He was able to tell his side which was very valid. Not only were the other businesses customers trying to use his bathroom but were also taking up parking spaces for his customers.
In all honesty who knows how truthful he's being about everyone from the hot dog stand using his restroom. Furthermore, why sell hot dogs when you're a steakhouse? Especially shortly after a hot dog stand opens? I think that part shows poor character.
@@GameChanger597 but that happens a lot of times. I live right next to a flower shop and EVERYONE parks there. There are a couple of businesses and they share parking. However people from all over the neighborhood park there as well. It takes spots away from the paying customers.
Plus with COVID everyone is washing their hands still all the time or should be. There are no designated parking spots or places to wash/ use the restroom before eating. It trickles over to his business. In his mind he’s trying to get the kid to relocate.
I do agree that it was a little shady to try to undercut the young man’s business.
@@GameChanger597 ummm.... did you know outback steakhouse sell fish, shrimp and pork chops? Lol
@@GameChanger597 Haha you seem to think that a steakhouse sells only steaks🤣🤣
@@GameChanger597 Obviously not everyone from the hot dog stand is using his restroom and taking up his parking spots. The issue is NO ONE from the hot dog stand should be using his bathroom and taking up his parking spots.
He's on the other side of the street and despite what it looks like surrounded by many other buildings and businesses, he says life's not fair and then blames a 16 y/o for all of his problems.
Exactly
Gotta have respect and love for your neighbors to have an honorable society.

@@biggsterbiggs5890 people ain't going out to eat steaks and expensive food as much these days. His business didn't slow down because of this hotdog stand that was there for just days before he posted the sign in total its been there 8 days now. The man is a jerk. He doesn't own the parking lot the food truck has legal right to be there. I'm sure the young man has no issue sweeping and picking up every night after he closes. As far as bathroom goes the owner has a sign and has refused to let any non customers use it so whats his problem? Problem is he doesn't like that his business is failing and the hotdog stand is doing well. Most People can afford some hotdogs and ice cream. Steaks maybe not as much or as often.

@@xeroart3852 i doubt that. Ones a hotdog stand the other is a steak house. Very different businesses
It's great to see a 16 year old start his own business, we should all support and encourage kids to be more like him, on the other hand, the steak house owner does have legitimate concerns regarding his property as far as parking and using the amenities within his building by non-customers , and competition is a fact of life, it's nothing to be upset about.
I get where the steak house person is coming from, but if they come to use the restrooms, they will smell the food and eventually come back through to eat dinner there on another night. By not allowing people to use restrooms, he is losing future customers who might not go in there otherwise.

@@jeremys6631 yeah they don't listen. They just see a kid make money means good. But no that reataraunt has many employees to pay and this disgusting faced kid doesn't care how many jobs he ruins.
@@jeremys6631 Alright, it’s business. So the steakhouse fairy should never ever complain now, ahahaha 😈
@@jeremys6631 he can post signs saying customers only for the restroom and or parking lot. Didn't have to involve the kid. He only involved the kid because he can't compete with him his stake house is a Dino.
the city also wont let the kid use their street for this..
It's very important to assist and support young people that want to work and succeed. It's also important to teach them that once their effort is under way there are sophistications in doing business. Rules, laws, respectful treatment of people.
That’s not how capitalism works Joe.
@@Fuglychick I get that. That's why he offered free ice cream and cheaper hot dogs. Sometimes the big lion eats the smaller. This story is about the community angry at the brick and morter for simply trying to drive away the nuisance competition.
It is a also wrong to have a business without getting a private lot permission. The kid didn't even pay rent to the private own lot owner. That is highly illegal. They could of had that kid taken out and pay heavy fine if all the owner in area made a complaint. kid was breaking all laws
The new mayor said, where be my cut? And I ain’t talking no steak or dog! 😂
I'm glad the restaurant owner said what he said...and hes right life is competitive and so is business.
Exactly 💯!!!
If it's so competitive, why be so threatened by a kid? It's a steakhouse. He only started selling hot dogs to run a 16 y.o kid out of business. That's scummy & pathetic. Ppl messing up his bathrooms is HIS fault; stop letting them in! Call a tow truck for unauthorized parked cars and call it a day. There was no need to try to destroy a kid's business. It's not like he came out there selling steaks in front of a steakhouse. Dont get a mad a HOT DOG TRUCK is actually giving you a run for your money; how about you improve your business instead?
@@NeeNee_B. lol you just said a hot dog stand is giving you and "run for your money", which is competition. So the steak owner has every right to compete in the money race.
@@elijahmeza2479 sure, compete all you want. The kid is competing fair and square. The steakhouse owner, on the other hand, is not competing; he's utilizing underhanded tactics. The kid didnt set up in front of a steakhouse and sell steaks; this guy didnt sell hotdogs until the kid started embarrassing him
Thats scummy and pathetic, not fair competition. Thats not what the american dream is supposed to be all about. What steakhouse sells hot dogs anyway?? He's literally lowering himself to isht on a kid. And it's not even working, bc he's not addressing the real problems. Instead of focusing on the kid, how about you make a better steak than he does hot dogs? Or better yet, just stop letting non-paying customers use your restroom, and tow them if they park in your spaces unauthorized, simple as that 🤷🏿♀️ Clearly he doesnt care about looking like an a-hole, so whats the problem?
@@NeeNee_B. That’s literally what competition is. Not sure why you bothered to point out that the kid’s age as if it matters either. Business is business and competition is competition, regardless of either owners’ age.
This comment that you’ve written is hilariously unreasonable. You’re essentially just saying the steakhouse owner should suck it up and do nothing about a food truck disrupting his business because that food truck’s owner is 16. However, when the restaurant owner does try to one-up the food truck, you whine about how he’s competing with a 16 year old. That restaurant is probably everything for him and you’re saying he should do nothing.
Need somebody to tell me how it is suddenly fixed.
Same problems will still be present when the camera stops rolling. 😂😂

Good job. That story was very well-done. Entertaining and informative. Both sides came out looking good. No sensationalism, just good news from the community. This is what local news is all about. Thank you!
How do you sensationalize a feel good story about hot dogs dude? Wth. Do you even know anything about journalism?
They tried to make the kid into the good guy and the steakhouse owner into the bad guy.
“The only thing you can do with something petty like that is smile” the teenager responded about restaurant manager complaint when teenager’s customers throw trash onto his property and makes a mess for him to clean up.
This teenager needs to learn common decency and be forced to move his truck.
he isn't getting screwed he has every right to limit the use of his recourses to customers and to lower the price of his food just like that kid has every right to run his stand
its America he is anger about the competition not the bathroom or parking lot
if he doesn't like competition then maybe a capitalist country isn't for him
the kid has trash cans their people just need to learn not to toss trash on the ground
Once again, I literally was not open yet when he put the sign up. He started selling hot dogs the morning of my grand opening. How could my customers have been throwing trash on his property when I wasn’t even open yet?
You need to learn competition . Crying because a new spot open up , boo hoo many restaurants open next to another restaurant on the same block either next to them or across the street you see that everywhere. Thinking you can open a business and not have any competition is not gonna happen. There's always main restaurants and fast food restaurants grouped up together. So they should be forced to buy a different location just because you cry about cleaning.
Why did he choose to put the food truck so close to the restaurant? If he was across the highway in the other parking lot, that’s perfectly fine. The young man needs to respect the owner of the other restaurant. How would he like it if another food truck opened up next to his?
Because that's one of the main roads going through town and you also have foot traffic from those other businesses. And the steak place obviously doesn't own that portion of the parking lot or he wouldn't be there.
A sit down steakhouse and hot dog cart are two very different things it’s hardly competing
@@angelitadavila118 Ah yes, two food services, so different.
@@BobbiHiru it's definitely different! One is a steakhouse and the other is a hotdog stand! Another thing, how many restaurants do you see close together on the same street? Almost all of them! What are restaurants supposed to do, open at opposite sides of a town?

Petty ? Using a businesses dedicated property for his business and not being usurped by another business who does NOT pay for its use, not pay the taxes or lease, not pay for cleanup IS NOT PETTY !
You are absolutely right.
I’m sure he’s paying for the space
Yes, very good point. I think I changed my opinion to favor the owner of the steak house.
lmaooo he definitely 100% pays taxes and permits for him being there. You're so daft its comical.... and the fact that you believe that in 8 days, people were eating food, and then walking across the street with their trash, just to leave it in the restaurants parking lot is actually hilarious. You saw the trash? The mess? or you just take whatever comes out of someone mouth that you've never met, as fact? oh. Gotcha.
@@johngoldsworthy7135 He 100% does. Gotta love the internet, people can just spout nonsense for free, its great.
It's amazing how easily resolve is achieved with kindness and respect.
I don't think the teenager respected the restaurant owner AT ALL or he would have instructed his customers by communication, or signs that the restaurant parking lot was not available, or the bathroom, yet he did not. He just assumed it would not be a problem and that he was entitled to usage of the other guy's space and facilites. Not respectful at all. He also called the other guys concerns "petty" and acted like he was the good guy. WAKE UP PEOPLE.

@@TheBuddyCassius it shouldn’t have been a problem in the first place, the kid can move his truck away from the steak house. That’s like your neighbor is having a BBQ and his guests are parking in your yard, leaving trash everywhere, and trying to use your bathroom because his is broken.

Where should he put his hotdog stand? Do you think that people are going to that steakhouse thinking I need a steak and then get lured in by the hotdog stand? The bigger issue is that in Alabama you can get a hotdog at a steakhouse. That’s a pretty low class steakhouse.

It's wild that the kid has the audacity to set up shop in front of a well established business then call the business owner petty for being competition. Typical mindset of a kid.
Honestly there’s nothing wrong here, y’all are just rooting for the hot dog stand because he’s 16.
If you want to be in the food industry then you’ll have to get over it because you will have competition. It’s not pettiness.
What that kid needs to do is show some respect and ask his customers to not park in his lot and what the restaurant owner needs to do is to put up a sign and tow their trucks if it’s that big of a deal to him.
Doesn't mean they will listen.Not his problem
Doesn’t mean you don’t say anything about it at all, it’s called showing respect now move along with your pathetic mindset.

You should stop humiliating yourself publicly. I've been in the industry for 40 years and an Executive Chef for 30, you literally don't know what you are posting about. He was being petty, as it seems you are too.

@@Facetiously.Esoteric Good for you? lol, I do know what I'm taking about and I don't care for your so-called job you've claimed to have.
Many restaurants do exactly what the owner of that store has done, if he wants to continue being in the food industry he needs to learn respect and understand there is competition in the field. Maybe if you were an owner of a restaurant and not a chef you would probably understand and if you were an owner then you didn't have enough for someone to see you as competition.
Have a nice day.
The news forgot to mention that he parks along with other food trucks in a food truck parking lot that happens to be across from the steak house. They made it sound like he just decided to randomly park across from a steak house in a vacant lot.
Good point , I wasn't aware and thought the kid could have found another place to
Park
Thanks for the rest of the story........I was confused.
This needs to be a more popular post. People don’t realize that food truck owners do not get to decide where to park for the most part, the city decides that. They can only park where the city permits, or at an event if the event permits. It’s not like the kid just posted up in this guys parking lot. I think the restaurant owner is dead wrong - he has a whole steakhouse, meanwhile the kid ONLY sells hotdogs. That’s not competition wtf
The news didnt think about it I dont think bc the issue was about hot dogs specifically
Thank you for that bit of info. I certainly thought that was the case.
1:58
Nothing petty about it, YOU were in the wrong. From the title I thought the restaurant owner was going to be a jerk, but I was wrong. He handled the situation better than a lot of people would have actually.
Most of us are smart enough to realize that the steakhouse owner is complaining about his parking spots and restrooms being used by noncustomers. But to those that fail to understand and still think the guy is petty, the steakhouse owner is NOT concerned with hotdog competition or losing business to a hotdog stand. The kid is concerned with competition, which is why he complained about pettiness when the steakhouse started selling hotdogs as well.
@@randomrazr yea but if the kid doesnt wanna worry about competition he can always leave and find a new location. restaurant owner is right life aint fair and people gotta do what they gotta do. im sure the kid had intentions of stealing customers from the restaurant in the first place so fair enough for the restaurant to fight back

While I love that a kid at his age is doing something to support himself and carry on a legacy, You do have to be mindful of businesses around your own especially when it either redirects business or cause issues for shop owners around you. The steak house owner was in the right, The 16yo brought competition+people making messes in the steak house who weren’t customers there, so he stepped up as you should.
@@biggsterbiggs5890 My original comment was pretty clear, and clearly you didn’t take into account that the rest or the restaurants around the stake house *probably already have restrooms built into them so they can accommodate their customers, the hot dog truck does not have restrooms which already creates an issue with popularity* . The steak house owner was there first, the have more incentive to step up their game if things get bad ESPECIALLY when non paying customers are making more work with no money in their bathrooms. You honestly don’t really have an argument and seem emotionally driven, I decline to discuss it further if you continue to act that way.
@@NYM0 maybe you didn't listen clearly to the reporter. Just days after the hotdog stand opened the steakhouse owner posted sign for free ice cream and 1.50 hotdogs. The hotdog stand had only been there a total of 8 days. How many people could of been trying to use his restroom that it was such a huge problem? How much of an inconvenience could it of really been in the parking area? How much mess was really left because of this hotdog stand? Does anyone really know? You over here believing every word that steakhouse owner said without even really knowing if its just excuses for his behavior. That hotdog stand has every right to be there. All the man had to do was talk to the guy and say hey people are leaving a mess please pickup after them. He didn't do that because its a lie he made up after he got caught acting like a jerk. As far as bathroom goes he has a sign, he just simply needs to say no you can't use it when people ask and say its for customers only. People ain't coming in passing the reception table and helping themselves to the bathrooms in the back of the restaurant.
@@NYM0 jersey. Far as the "hotdog stand not having a bathroom which already creates a popularity issue" then why are would the steakhouse owner be so butt hurt over it if its not popular? You make no sense. And what freaking hotdog stand has a public restroom? Not one its a freaking hotdog stand you moron normal people know there isn't one and aren't going there to use the bathroom its for a quick bite to eat and move on. I bet that steakhouse owner would love to see a portapotty in the parking lot wouldn't that be nice to see.
@@sharonpowell2798 Nope, my comment was clear and so was the video. And the business industry isn’t fair, it’s fair game. The steak house owner from a business standpoint and morally was in the right for upping his game. In the real world, business doesn’t care about feelings or opinion. The steak house owner was in the right, his “behavior” is just what industry is and how it goes + it wasn’t actually done with malicious intentions. Keep being emotionally driven and stomp your feet all you’d like, it doesn’t change a single thing especially when the situation was mostly resolved.

@@biggsterbiggs5890 no it’s the people going to the food truck you can’t just park on other peoples property

Was I the only one who sensed the kid was taking a shot at the steakhouse by calling him petty? What a degenerate
Look at all the people lined up for the racist Hot Dog. Many parking spaces being taken by a pirate food truck invasion on wheels. Who pays the liability insurance for that parking lot? Not this Punk Kid !

It ain’t petty, it’s business
I completely understand the restaurant owner's issues with the kids truck there. It's respectable and honorable that the teen is continuing a family business, but he has to be considerate of other businesses and their properties. Plus the steakhouse owner seemed to be very reasonable and fair. I think the kid just needs to be a little more aware of the problems he's causing the restaurant owner instead of just calling him petty to the media. That's pretty disrespectful.
How was the strakhouse owner reasonable and fair when he literally started selling hotdogs and giving free ice-cream to compete with a 16 year old? Come to large cities where you have like 5 restaurants on one block. It's normal. It's no different then seeing McDonalds, Wendys, Burgerking, etc on the same street. It's not like the teen was selling steak. And its not the teens fault cause grown adults can't have common sense to not park in a different parking lot, or leave their trash around or use another resturant restrooms. Adults should know better, but they choose not to be respectful. For the steakhouse owner to be petty to a 16 year old over something that isn't his fault is wrong.
What problem is the kid causing?
@@fidelianerina The restaurant owner has every right to undercut the competition just like the hotdog stand decides to park in front of his restaurant suddenly. This is business.

I really respect ALL restaurant owners. It's a tough tough business. The restaurant demands all your attention, all your hours, all the risk of a HUGE investment, LOTS of overhead, LOTS of drama with employees. It takes a really special breed of people to do it. I could never do it, and have never bothered trying. As I have aged my appreciation grows for everything that goes into operating a business, especially a restaurant.
Every young person should try opening any business just to get an appreciation for what it takes. That way, you would be a little more understanding, and perhaps grateful, when you find a good employer.
Something’s missing from this story. How was the problem “fixed”? They shook hands, but what agreement did they make?
That’s the same thing I was asking
There was never a problem. The guy just advertised hotdogs for gods sake. Sensationalism at its best 😂
that hes white so he gets the right of way.. and the asian owner has to suck it up!!!! ... kid could park anywhere and decided to compete with a steak house. when the restaurant decided to compete back... kid calls him "petty"!!! SMH THA KID IS TOO YOUNG AND DUMB FOR HIS OWN GOOD... wish someone would stand next to his business and sell hot dogs half the cost to see how he likes it!!!
Yeah... odd. Sounds like they just shook hands for the camera and claimed to calm down but unless the food truck was moved to a different area that wouldn't impose on the parking and people using the restroom of the restaurant, I don't see a real resolution here and problems will start again.
The Asian guy agreed to be bullied , problem fixed 😁
The steak house guy is telling the kid he has to expect competition 🤔LOL. The kid isn’t the one whining about someone across the street , the kid is killing it. If the steaks are good people will come.
Bingo
the restaurant owner is being respectful to the kid's hustle and sold the same food as a courtesy. if he did whine, he'd charge people parking in his lot and using his restrooms and even straight up go to the kid.
@@youredxspanktube He sold the same food to drive buisness inside his establishment lol it wasn’t a courtesy don’t be dense. He can do as he pleases with his lot and restrooms but why would the kid be at fault the most he can do is tell people not to park there.
This happened to a local dine in Pizza Hut in my town. A gyro cart opened up and everyone was using Pizza Hut parking lot. Do you know how they solved it? They got a tow company involved with a full time tow on location who kept track. The moment the cart customers got out to wait in the line the tow guy pulled up and in a matter of seconds , had the car hooked to the tow . He didn’t listen to pleading customers and just drove off! It happened for a few months and the cart guy ended up changing his spot .

Good for this 16year old businessman, congratulations!

That 16 year old called it petty...
He is clearly not there just for business.
@Hshxb Dhehs yep.
Building owners support so much more... besides costing more...
The people that work there...
Chefs, waiters, cashier, dishwashers, etc.
Better laws should be in place to protect building owners... nation wide.
@Hshxb Dhehs the permit the 16yo obtained allowed him to operate at that spot I'm certain, and I'm sure there's a lot fee for usage he's paying to the land owner as well. As far as picking where to go, it just seems smart to go somewhere in proximity to established businesses, plus hot dogs and ice cream aren't exactly a steakhouse's bread and butter, so the hot dog and ice cream offer from the steakhouse owner was a bit petty and emotionally driven imo, even if I can understand the rationale. It's definitely a good idea if the 16yo would get a garbage can or two and the steakhouse owner can mark his properly rented spots with patrons only spaces, or at least the closest ones depending on how busy he usually is. That's just adapting to evolving situations on both ends.
@@onepiecelover6798 can't speak for everyone but I'm not personally sending any hate his way, I just think he could have handled it better from the start. Much of the steakhouse's owner's grief is just the need to make minor changes. Only thing the kid could have realistically done from the start is have a garbage can if he didn't already.
@Hshxb Dhehs *_"Then you have customers from the truck coming in to use your restaurant as a quick spot to poop and pee, if anything the truck owner is petty for that lmao"_*
That's up to the restaurant manager to... manage. Presumably the restrooms are inside the restaurant. The kid doesn't and can not control what free people do.
Food Truck 101 Don't be a negative to the places around you, you never pull up next to a restaurant.. you go to places where both businesses benefit; Outside a courthouse, home improvement store, grocery store, aquatic centers, gas stations, etc.
Not quite
@@Pugkin5405 quite literally..
@@mattstanislen3165 quite literally not quite
no one starts out thinking about going to a sit down meal in a steakhouse, sees a hotdog stand and thinks hotdog instead. Not competition
I hope when my son is 16, he goes into business for himself. Learn more about life in 6 months as a business owner than 12 years of grade school. Good luck to you kid.
His dad… made him
@@MannyDelReal why are you hating on him 🤔. We know why
You also hope your kid does not use his own privilege to go into a restaurants leased park and use their facilities and not pay land taxes like the restaurant does.
@Pete Ando he's not on the restaurant's property. Some of his customers parked there. It's not his fault.
yea, is wonderful he is trying to succeed he just need to learn to play clean and respect others space too.
Thank you channel 2 for giving both the opportunity to provide their point of view- I hope the young business owner move his truck to a place he doesn't hurt other business.
Love and peace for everybody!✌️✌️
It is not petty, rather it is about a business that gets away without having to pay property tax, provide restrooms, or parking.
The owner of the food truck is not getting away with anything. He would have to owe property taxes to "get away" with not paying taxes. Like other businesses city streets provide parking and his business does not require restrooms. The fault lies with people who disrespect the other business not the kid.
It's a steakhouse. He only started selling hot dogs to run a 16 y.o kid out of business. That's scummy & pathetic. Ppl messing up his bathrooms is HIS fault; stop letting them in! Call a tow truck for unauthorized parked cars and call it a day. There was no need to try to destroy a kid's business. It's not like he came out there selling steaks in front of a steakhouse. Dont get a mad a HOT DOG TRUCK is actually giving you a run for your money; how about you improve your business instead?
@@NeeNee_B. I wish I could like your comment a thousand times. That is exactly what steakhouse guy shouldve done.
That’s literally what every food truck does. If the steakhouse owner wants a food truck then he should’ve bought one, not open a steakhouse lol.
@@NeeNee_B. exactly, he's a scum bag who made himself look bad by acting like a child. Trying to teach him a lesson. Spare me.
The 16 yr old makes it look like he is the victim, give me a break! Not buying it, disrespectful.

@@NeeNee_B. If a business denied me access to use the restroom or had my vehicle towed I would never give them future business. The owner is put in a position to be the bad guy and alienate prospective customers. The kid needs to find a spot where his customers can’t take advantage of parking lots and restrooms of competing businesses.
@@NeeNee_B. Fo realz! Why he front’n?
@@cmmochalatte why would he as the steakhouse owner care about them giving him FUTURE business when they aren't even giving him CURRENT business? And are disrespecting his establishment to boot? If it bothered him enough start isht with an actual kid, then it should have bothered him enough to actually DO something about it 🤷🏿♀️
@@NeeNee_B. umm because all businesses want future business. That’s how they grow. Just because the customers are at the food truck doesn’t mean they’ve never fined at the steakhouse before or wouldn’t in the future. Unless this is some Make a Wish kid situation I don’t think a kid or anyone should get special privileges to walk all over another business. Hopefully the kid will at least make efforts to clean up behind his customers and make it known not to use the parking lot and restrooms of the other business. I respect your opinion.
No, the restaurant owner IS a jerk. He could simply have had a conversation with the young business owner and explained that he didn't want his customers parking in the restaurant lot or discarding their trash where he had to pick it up. That would have been a fair request and would have given the young man a chance to make sure his customers respected the restaurant's property. But when the restaurant countered by offering cheap hot dogs (at a loss, I'm sure) he was engaging in predatory business practice. He knew he had deeper pockets and could undercut a fledgling business by selling a similar (though I'm sure far inferior) product at a loss for the sole purpose of driving the young man out of business. That may be how it's done in Texas, but it sets a poor example. In 10 years that young man is going to be miles ahead of the restaurant owner, and not because the young man learned to undercut fellow businessmen. It will be because the young man will work harder and be smarter than the restaurant owner. Hat's off to you, young man. I'll take one of your hot dogs over the Steakhouse wieners any day.
I luv he's carrying grandpa's recipe.keep up good work.
Imagine you invested $100s of thousands of dollars in a restaurant, maintain it, a parking lot, follow all regulations, licenses, property taxes etc and then some kid just pulls up in a caravan and starts selling food in front of your restaurant. I’d be pissed too.
Imagine that you invested $100s of thousands of dollars in a restaurant, maintain it, have a parking lot, follow the regulations, have licenses, pay your taxes, and then you're such a poor entrepreneur that you feel your STEAK HOUSE is threatened by a HOTDOG STAND. Totally took the wrong approach. This guy should have embraced the kid's stand. Great PR for him, great PR for the kid. Everyone wins. Instead, his poor little ego was so scorched that he had to try and sell $1.50 hot dogs out of his STEAK HOUSE. Sad.

@@BradenPitts_ maybe the hotdog stand should find its only private property 🤡
Sounds like he shoulda got a food truck
The 16 yr old called the restaurant owner petty but he wasn't. The people buying hotdogs and corn dogs were using his parking lot which were for his own customers and probably slowed down his business, not to mention they were using his bathrooms meant only for his customers. He did not stop them but he had to clean up after them. The boy was being unfair and immature to do that. Why couldn't he move down the street a ways. He may not have been so popular since his customers wouldn't have access to bathrooms or parking space. The restaurant owner explained his predicament, but the teenager could care less, he thought of himself only.
Why didnt the OWNER of the bathrooms stop them? He sounds like he's looking to be a victim
@@NeeNee_B. He had a restaurant, these people may be customers or would be customers. He was being nice to let them use his bathrooms. The people should have known better
@@lindachennault7222 if they were customers, he wouldnt be complaining about them messing up his bathroom in a segment about his competitor 🤦🏿♀️ But even if they were, so what? His job is to take care of his establishment, and that includes cleaning the bathroom. Thats ANY place that offers public bathrooms: people are rude and nasty everywhere. Why would HIS bathroom be special? Sounds like he's blaming things on the kid that have nothing to do with him. He has no power over who goes into someone ELSE'S establishment and uses their facilities, or if the owner lets them 🤷🏿♀️
@@NeeNee_B. I was talking about regular customers, he didn't want to hurt his business even further. by refusing because they may not ever come back to his restaurant again to eat. They were not eating at his restaurant that day .
@@lindachennault7222 yes, but he has a sit down restaurant, meaning any customers using the restroom have already been led inside and seated. So it's simple: stop letting in people to use the restroom that arent there to sit and eat. Even most fast food restaurants make you get a key from employees to open their restrooms, and the ones that dont lock the doors dont complain if you DO use them. Like I said, this guy is hurting himself and looking to be a victim. A simple "restroom for customers only" sign would fix all this
Moral of the story: Treat others as you would have them treat you.
Inconsideration breeds contempt.
Bread 🍞
Breeds is what your lookin for
I think inconsiderate bread actually tastes good I don't understand the contempt for it
@@ericg4915 I doesn't work well for bread pudding, trust me on that. Thanks for your input! 👈😉
It’s nice to see the steakhouse owner spoke his reason rather than just lash out like how most people do and his stance is reasonable, glad they worked out their situation like mature adults
I think its great the kids got his own business but why did he feel the need to park right next to this resturant?
He's across the street as mentioned in the video.
Do a map search on:
Old Montgomery Steakhouse, 204 McCown St, Montgomery, TX 77356
I noticed that Chinese food and pizzerias are always across the street from each other.
to leech
The problem wasn’t where he park per se, the restaurant wasn’t in competition. It was the people using his parking lot and dumping their garbage, which made that truck being there a nuisance. Also they mentioned more people were coming in to use the restroom.
@@kittenpawsbb then we are the problem
He should park his hot dog stand near Lowe's, Home depot, TJ Maxx, etc....I always get hungry while running errands and shopping
I love how they squashed any disagreements
