Link?

I don't understand apparently.

They fired an employee for eating food and the customers didn't like it?
Or was it something about some emoji thing?

If this had happened in Oxford, the comments here would be full of MSU football fans making a specious connection between the Ole Miss football program and the drama at a local coffeehouse.

@4:25 You can't go to Facebook and search for Strange Brew Coffee? Is that too heavy a lift for you?

Seems like some youngsters are getting their first lessons in consequences, respecting authority figures and working in an at-will state.

@4:33...maybe like me he does not have a Farcebook account so cannot go to Farcebook and search for it...however in partial defense of your snark ha ha...he could just search Strange Brew Coffee House Tupelo and find the Farcebook link...like I did lol

Not who you're responding to but I don't have a faceberg account, so no.

Don’t we have enough to argue about on here without bringing a Starkville Facebook squabble into our crosshairs? Of course I have no doubt that somebody on this page will jump in as an “expert”

Act like a jerk and fire someone over text message for a next to nothing mistake, don’t be surprised when it blows up in your face. It’s called consequences, and it applies to businesses too. Your customers don’t have to keep giving you their money if they’re disgusted with your behavior. Word from other employees is that this is par for the course.

They made their bed. They can lie in it.

Facebook is the devil.

Thanks for adding fuel to the fire. You don’t understand the entire story otherwise wouldn’t be posting this garbage. Small business already struggling because of COVID is now being crucified over false texts.

looks like this has spilled over onto yelp. Apparently they had dissatisfied people visiting from all over the country.

8:10, how are the texts “false,” as you claim?

The food looks good. Can't be all that bad. Sometimes facebook has too much drama.

OK, let's say it is fake. The worst thing the owner can do is go into a shell. She looks guilty if she does that. I know, she didn't ask for it, it's a private affair, it's her business, yap yap yap. Well, social media changed a few things. The businesses that survive these problems do a few things.

If the facts are on her side, get the facts out there. Period. That is what Saltine did last year. Some woman from Atlanta made a fool out of herself and got thrown out. She naturally went to social media and screamed racism and all that jazz. Everyone was buying it and a tidal wave of social media criticism threatened to swamp the restaurant.

Well, Saltine told the media exactly what happened and even let a couple of community activists come watch the video. That changed everything. They got on social media and said the girl was drunk off her ass, acted an ass, and the restaurant and black manager did nothing wrong. Controversy over within 48 hours.

With as difficult as it is to find good workers in this economy there is a 0% chance they fired her over just a scone.

The worst part of this whole social media “drama” is the way the owner or whomever is publishing the responses has dealt with it. They’ve put personal HR issues all over their social media accounts and just keep doubling down with the personal information. Incredibly dumb and they keep making it worse. At some point they need to say that we will no longer comment on personnel issues and shut up before they get sued but apparently they’re not smart enough for that.

That woman at Saltine was also behaving in a manner that suggested, shall we say unapproved forms of nasal stimulation, i.e. she was visiting the bathroom every few minutes and coming out sniffing.

In her initial tweet she called the place "Saltines in the Fondren". Glad they sent he packing.

Facebook is the devil.

Very close to what my 80-year-old father says: “Facebook is of the devil.”

True.

Hold On, Kingfish! Are you suggesting somebody screamed racism in an effort to shut people down and win an argument? Say it ain't so. That ain't never happened before!

Not sure why it is called social media. Looks more like unsocial or antisocial media to me.

Although it gives good fodder for the local stations to use as filler between the commercial breaks it seems. ~sigh~
