@cherri7 So you ...
@cherri7 So you start a semi-racist comment, and swear by it, then you get depressed because I called you out? That is what is depressing- people here in America have to? swallow their words all too often- I am tired of the people in our country that speak out of both sides of their mouth- the Founding Fathers would be so disappointed in this Country and its People. Nothing personal, just stating what I see.

ive always been ...
ive always been obsess with the japanese culture and i wanted to move to japan but after ive had learn certain things so im not obsess about them anymore but? i still insterested in their work like anime for example.I THINK WE'RE DONE NOW....thiS is too depressing.

my point about that ...
my point about that culture thing is that people from a particular culture have? same mannerisms[good or bad] and i also give examples of other people besides chinese.but some people dont act the same way the others do in a particular culture.if you werent lighten skin which i assume you are than you would of experience many bad things like i have in my life and you might not have been hired in that japanese restaurant trust me.

@PeaceMouse17 you ...
@PeaceMouse17 you are so off track about what im trying to say and you try to make me to be a racist.you dont know the hell ive been through.im not from USA.i know what im talikng about i grew up with those asians .i didnt say anything about the japanese.japanese and chinese arent the same!!!!.their race and mannerism are different!!.when? i use to go to restaurants the thais and japanese restaurants never treat me like dirt or give me something that i dont want .

@cherri7 BTW- carry ...
@cherri7 BTW- carry an EPIPEN if you? have SEVERE ALLERGIES= COMMON SENSE

@cherri7 Don't ...
@cherri7 Don't judge all of the people of that culture for one greedy person- we should really take a look at our culture here if we really want to get into this "culture" crap. The US is no better and in fact the Japanese Restaurant I worked at was extremely clean and sanitary and they actually cared about what customers wanted and thought - none of the American owned restaurants were clean at all they were? so dirty and the people could give a s**t less about their customers.

@cherri7 It's sad ...
@cherri7 It's sad that you cant see we are all human- the culture difference- come on. These people aren't animals- they are just like? you and me- they culture difference may be a daily ritual and the food and arts intake(which I like theirs better than the lab-created US bulls**t we have here).

@cherri7 no offense ...
@cherri7 no offense, but that is? kinda racist.

@PeaceMouse17 also ...
@PeaceMouse17 also it wasnt a real restaurant [a place where you can eat] it was a take out restaurant.we've been going to them for over 5-10 yrs and later they had new workers who some arent good .the chinese restaurants ive been refering to are the ones who came from china or grew up in that china culture.in the caribbean for example there are chinese people but? they arent like ''chinese people''

no it would be dumb ...
no it would be dumb if? they dont listen because of that lie...its their job to give what their customer wants.we only lie once though .every caribbean,chinese,indian and etc restaurants would be the same no matter what because of people's culture.the way people act and the culture they grew up in goes hand in hand

@PeaceMouse17 i ...
@PeaceMouse17 i went to allot of chinese restaurants and they are all the same but i didnt have a shrimp problem with those ones but other problems.i remember that a restaurant i went to and a guy lie in myy face that the macaroni had no meat because he wanted more money.they are the ones who did something bad by not listening sometimes or they probably didnt care.sometimes they do listen which is why? i was angry because they do understand.

@cherri7 btw- lying ...
@cherri7 btw- lying to? a place like that and then expecting them to listen is kinda dumb- they probably know you are lying because they know you would have sued them by now if it was true. Even if that isn't the case- go to a different restaurant, don't judge all like restaurants off of one lousy one and a bad decision to lie on your part.

@VinnyLT9000 that ...
@VinnyLT9000 that is messed up that they chased you out to the parking garage, but you should have told them it's a medical emergency and you could be back to pay because, no offense, but you should have been carrying an epipen and you really should have asked about your food- you cant expect not to pay just because you didn't make sure of what you were eating. I most defiantly ask about the foods I eat before I even think about touching it- I have allergies to meat and eggs- so? I avoid them .

@VinnyLT9000 No ...
@VinnyLT9000 No offense, but you shouldn't label all Chinese and Japanese restaurants like that- and you should ask about the food if you know you have allergies- the people working will not know unless you tell them. I used to work at a Japanese Restaurant and we clearly told our customers what was what(sushi/etc.) and knew what had what in? it if a customer asked. Not to mention our menus told people specifically if the dish contained a food common with allergies-most oriental foods have fish

@cherri7 I know. I ...
@cherri7 I know. I actually went ot a Japanese Sushi Buffet with my girlfriend and a lot of the sushi was unlabeled and i accidentally ate a piece that had shrimp in it. y GF had to rush me to the ER. It was really scary. The messed up thing about it was? they still wanted us to pay for our food. we left the buffet and they actually followed us all the way out to the parking garage.

@VinnyLT9000 ...
@VinnyLT9000 becareful when you order out from chinese restaurants because a chinese restaurant that I use to go to would sometimes ignore I request for no shrimp in the cantonese noddles.We? even lie to them that we are allergic but the idoits still put shrimp in the food.There are also other non chinese restaurants that won't listen.I'm vegan now so I don't really order from restaurants anymore.

allot of the ...
allot of the symtoms for food alllergy is the same for my tree allergy .sometimes i cough so much in my sleep which wakes me up but i can''t remember getting shortness of breath.people who are allergic to? trees can get asthma [sorry cant spell it].i only found out days ago that i'm allergic.

shellfish... dammit ...
shellfish... dammit. the best tasting food is the one? i'm allergic to. No shrimp. No Lobster. No Scallops. No Crab. No Clams. No Nothin.
