    It's wrong for people to use the other restaurants facilities when they aren't paying customers. I can understand his frustrations.
  • @hithere9235
    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.
  • The owner is right and the fact that that community has people that step in to help everyone is amazing and nice to see
  • @laternevercame
    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.
  • @IceSkater8491
    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.

    I understand the restaurant owners frustration. Cleaning up bathrooms from non customer use is awful
  • @TC1Z2L3
    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.
  • Not the kid setting up shop across the street and having the audacity to call the restaurant owner “petty” sir then what are you?😭 lol
  • @FluffyButtFarms
    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.
  • @lumbrados
    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
  • If your customer is using the other restaurant's restroom without permission and causing surrounding businesses problem, it has nothing to do with pettiness. Your customers are disrupting their business!

    This is the way reporting should be…..balanced. ❤️✊🏻🙏🏻
  • @AprilLeon
    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 honestly thought the restaurant owner handled that situation extremely well. I'd be frustrated too.
  • 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
  • @lbarnhill5493
    Moral of the story: Treat others as you would have them treat you. Inconsideration breeds contempt.
  • 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
  • @nsnopper
    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.
  • @1dove
    i absolutely sympathise with the store owner. setting up essentially on his property and undercutting his business is wrong.
  • @AJSSPACEPLACE
    While I support the teen’s business, he needs to be profesional, and recognize how his business impacts others. I hope he keeps that in mind, going forward.
