1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: What's up? Friend? Welcome to the Keiki Court podcast and

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: I am back with another case that did not make

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: the air. But I need your opinion on it. Okay,

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: I need to read this because I was a little

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: torn when I gave my thoughts on it. Of course,

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: I posted a video on our socials follow us at

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: Fred Show Radio at on air kikik ek e. But

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: let's get into this story. Where is it? Let me

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: pull it up? Hold on one second, this is real time.

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: It says am I wrong for charging people to attend

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: my birthday dinner? It says, hey, kekei, my name is

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: Asia and I am about to turn thirty. So for

13
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: my thirtieth birthday, I booked a private room at a

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: very nice restaurant. I invited all of my friends and

15
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: all of them responded in RSVP that they would attend.

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: After I got my guest list together, I went and

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: made the deposit to the restaurant because they require one

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars up front to cover each seat.

19
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: After I made the deposit, I reached out to all

20
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: of my guests and said, hey, I'm going to need

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars to reserve your spot. Now

22
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: half of the people that I invited are saying that

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: they're no longer attending because they feel like they should

24
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: not be charged a fee to come to my birthday dinner. However,

25
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: I feel like as adults, you should be prepared to

26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: pay for your experiences. Am I wrong? So here's why

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: I felt like I was torn because I know that

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: this is a trend that a lot of people are

29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: doing now. However, I still think it's tacky. I think

30
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: it's tacky to charge someone to come to your birthday dinner.

31
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: I feel like what you should have done is said, hey,

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna treat myself to a beautiful, expensive dinner, and

33
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: you could tell your friends this is my plan, this

34
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: is what it costs, and if you want to join me,

35
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: I would love to have you. But you did not

36
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: give them that option up front. But instead you had

37
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: them commit to coming to the dinner and then told

38
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: them that it would be one hundred and fifty dollars

39
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: a person. I think you should have said that upfront

40
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: and given them the option. Now, your friends who are

41
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: financially able to do that, I'm sure they would love

42
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: to come. I'm sure they would even pay for your meal,

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: but to spring it on them after they've already aresvp'd.

44
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: I just think it is a bad look, friend, and

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: I would not have done it that way. So I'm

46
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: the judge, you're the jury. So is she wrong? Or

47
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: is this the new Norman? People just need to get

48
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: used to being charged, you know upfront. You know, if

49
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: you're going to a restaurant, you should expect it. Let

50
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: me know your thoughts. Of course, I put a video

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: up on our socials. Go vote, let us know, and

52
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: of course we'll get into a new case of Kiki's

53
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: Court on Monday. I'll be back this weekend. I'm actually

54
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: traveling to New York. I'm super excited about it, going

55
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: to look at some wedding dresses. So wish me all

56
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: of the luck. And of course you can follow along
