(They are still making about $3 per shot.)

It's a business. This site seems to hate anyone who's making money, but they're supposed to make money. No one has to buy the shots. It's not a requirement.

He should train his people better. If he has any balls at all that GM is looking for a job.

A customer is always THE customer.

I have seen numerous people who have been fired who have forgotten that fact.

Even fired a few myself.

I like Pat but he is being a little bitch about this....

They need to bury the hatchet and move on.... I am sure the Roccos thing is part scam but that is capitalism at work.

Why do people keep saying it's a scam?

They sell Jello shots and make a profit off of them, why are people pissed by this?

And McAfee is pissed because they didn't treat him like a VIP.

I dislike McAfee just like the next guy, but if I’m trying to spend a huge amount of money for a good cause, support a local business, and treat my alma mater fanbase to a unique and special kind of experience, I would be pissed with the reported response from the business. I actually think McAfee has addressed this very reasonably. To hell with this bar.

They treated chicken man the same way, and he at least had the foresight to try to set it up in advance.

It's just what they do. Probably not the best business model but it works for them I guess.

Who pays with a check at a bar ?

McAdouche trying to avoid 4% CC fee?

I'll pay with a check/debit card or cash 10 times out of 10 to avoid bull shite credit card fees that the merchant is trying to make me pay. Accepting credit cards at a place of business is the cost of doing business. frick you for asking me to pay those fees.

Should've just done a wire transfer if he were worried about a check but there could always be more to the story so who knows?


If you watched McAfee's show (or the clip like I did), youd know the whole story.
It has nothing to do with a CC fee, but the CC limits not being 300K.

It isn’t them making money that is cringey. It is them masquerading it as charity.

I believe their pledge to donate a portion of proceeds also coincided with them raising the price from $4 to $5.

But that isn’t what that this thread is about. It is about Rocco’s turning a golden opportunity for even more promotion into a black eye.
