    It’s very possible an Asian restaurant signed into the Beast burger franchise. It apparently doesn’t take much to join.

    There’s a ghost kitchen delivery place near me call Tori-yoshi Japanese fried chicken. It looked good in the pictures so I decided to give it a shot. What arrived was straight up fast food chicken nuggets and totally different fries than in the pictures. I do a little more research and find out it’s a Denny’s ghost kitchen literally selling Denny’s nuggets and claiming they’re Japanese fried chicken. What’s even crazier is they’re clearly using straight up stock photos of karaage on their delivery page. Full on blatant false advertising. I tried to get my money back but Uber doesn’t give a shit about false advertising on their platform and refused to do anything or even acknowledge there was a problem.

    Moral of the story, never order from Tori-Yoshi Japanese Fried Chicken. It is literally a scam.

      It doesn’t sound like you quit using them, so they probably made the best decision for them as a business by not doing anything about it. They’re a shit company in my opinion and I don’t give them money.

        This level of apathy is not a good thing. Call out corporations being shitty, don’t just shrug and say “whatever, it was good for business”. Sorry to call you out, but this is an attitude that needs to change and it bugs me.

          I don’t like that they did it and I no longer use that company at all.

          That doesn’t mean that the business didn’t successfully make the best decision for its own good in that case. And, assuming the poster is still using that business, they’re contributing more to the problem. That is precisely why I pointed that out; people should not let companies be able to do that, but if they just take it, they will keep doing it.

    Mr Beast is a joke. He exemplifies everything people don’t like about capitalism and people love him for it

    He’s extremely rich and is gracious enough to help people. Not enough people to lose him money. That would be ridiculous. Only enough to convince everybody else that he’s one of the good rich ones

      Yeah honestly it’s hard to hate a guy who puts water wells in impoverished nations but it’s also hard to like a guy who rents tanks and a gasoline covered burning log catapult to destroy a literal unironic pile of money.

    I thought the Mr. Beast Burgers got discontinued because the quality of the company he delegated to was so poor that it was a liability to Beast himself?
