She should have made sure her party had wristbands that way she could have kept track of who all attended. Then the owner could have used a code when keying in orders for the event in order to have a proper head count for her business.
Exactly. And that bar owner is off too because she should have made that a requirement. It is her responsibility too. How do ppl handle business like this 🤦🏽♀️ it’s ridiculous
How is that any different from them attaching the ticket to the receipt? Wristbands would've accomplished nothing. Something tells me you have never worked for food and beverage
Ok good so it's not just me having trouble understanding this one, why wouldn't someone know exactly how many people attended this "book " pre release event ...? Especially if that's how they are gonna get paid,or pay ..🤔
The defendant must not get any customers and has a slow business if she thought every customer that was seated at a table was the plaintiffs. Doesn't add up or make sense. She was trying to get over and used that as an excuse to keep all the money. A head count should be mandatory, to know how much is to be paid out at the end of the night. I think the defendant took advantage of the plaintiffs naivety.
@@biggchill8176 If that's the case, she would've closed her doors for business and rented the space ONLY for her event. However, she didn't. She had customers and the client had guest for her party. Theres no way to know who was for the party or just at the restaurant. The party guest should've been wearing wristbands.
From what I gather, some of these people that may or may not have showed up, have to be ghosts. They weren't able to know for sure if they were there or not.
"How many people were there?" "About 30." "How many tickets did you sell?" "About 20." WTF is wrong with the plantiff?? About 20 minutes is acceptable to say. With people it's not. Did ghosts show up and they couldn't see them but thought they were there?
From what I understand, the defendant charged the plaintiff $10 per guest and claimed the plaintiff had over 50 guests which is why she wasn’t overpaid and should keep the extra money (50x10) However, the agreement stated if the plaintiff sold over $400 from the bar/kitchen during the hours of her event, she wouldn’t have to pay towards the food. If she sold less than that, then she would have to eat the food cost but the defendant and plaintiff both agree the price was over $400 ($600 and $900) so that’s why she should get her money back
The way they set this up is ridiculous. Why wouldn't you have a way to tell if people were with the event so you can accurately track things?? Like giving everyone drink tickets so when they open a tab, the bartender takes their ticket and knows to keep those receipts seperate from the rest of the restaurant.
Authoring a deal that is based on a number of people served and then having no set way to count those specific people is a terrible way to do business. In this case, she got too much but it can easily go the other way and she could end up stiffed without even really realizing it.
Lol!! I was lost too!! But that was a nice “self-plug” the Plaintiff gave herself at the end. Unfortunately it does her no good since she’s “still working” on the book! That’s too bad, there might have been a few folks that would have wanted to check it out? (PS- I still don’t understand why she had a “pre-book” party! Usually at those, the author has something to hand out to party goers! (Think she jumped ship a little too quick!) lol! 😂
I mean the dollar store sells tickets or wrist bands and I'm glad JM was able to figure this mess out I was so confused. That's definitely bad business practice and the plaintiff should of knew how many people she was gonna have there so she wouldn't have even gone thru this
Is your book out yet? No Can we buy it at Barnes and Nobles? No, it's not out yet Can people order it on Amazon? The hallway dude is really 2 fools in 1. smh 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙄
No, he was driving home a point. Real authors don’t do parties until there’s a release. She has no book because she hasn’t released anything-she was celebrating nothing.
No, he was driving home a point. Real authors don’t do parties until there’s a release. She has no book because she hasn’t released anything-she was celebrating nothing. The judge even made the same point (“pre-pre-pre release party.”) You only make yourself look foolish.
The restraint owner made the contract messy just so that they can charge clients for the entire house. The bad practices keep the client in the dark so that they don't know that they are being ripped off.
This is terrible. The author should've put someone else in charge of all this. That way all she has to do is show up. As a performer myself, I would hate to put myself in a position to sell tickets, collect at the door and network at my event. Too much. It can be done but you have to really be on top of your game
@@StepheneeDuranWasn't that just the count the bar had for drinks? Usually, not everyone at a party will consume alcohol. Unless this bar also provided all types of drinks, such as milk, soft drinks, water, etc.
@@elvickRULES Right, she said that but she didn't prove it with the actual ticket count. Why didn't the judge ask for that kind of proof when she found out that tickets were sold at the door?
@@BadPenny023 it really didn’t matter. The agreement was as long as the bar/food was sold and went over $400 that night she would get her money is some kind of way no matter what. The defendant said they made $650 that night which satisfies the contract. Since the defendant had 18 tickets, that’s all the defendant could prove came from the plaintiff’s party, so the judge deducted that amount and gave her $220.
Super confusing contract that doesn't make any sense if they can't keep track of how many people in the venue are there for the event versus other customers.
It’s normal to charge per head + minimum food/drink spend. However owner should have had a better contract and and enforced an accurate way to do a headcount.
Don't give out details or plot points of your book if you are a writer. Not even if a famous court judge personnel asks. Someone can take your plot point pay the money and have a book published that may be better than yours and sell at a higher rate. Plot points aren't copyright proof. Only the title is. Plagiarism protects her but the person making a better book with the same plot point would have had to read her book which isn't available yet.
Fair judgment. Dumb contract. Contract payment is contingent on how much sales she made from guest but bobody kept an accurate count of plaintiffs guest. How did they think that would work 🤨🙄
They simply could've kept tabs on the guests for the book signing by making them wear those fluorescent bracelets and a sign in sheet should've been required.
The plaintiff’s guests must have been her friends or family because there’s no way that I would go to a party where I had to buy a $10 ticket to get in and pay for my own food and beverages while I’m there. The guests didn’t even get discounts on their bill because the “discount” they received at the restaurant was equal to the cost of the ticket they purchased.
Always have a contract for catered events. Have wrist bands when the guest give their ticket or a list,to.check off who is for which event,when more than one event is being held in the same place, at the same time. The author needs to sell her book,because she probably broke. She is also cocky. I wouldn't buy her book after seeing this.
Well considering the amount of tickets the plaintiff sold was a moving target, and the two on the other side were not differentiating who is with that group and who isn't, just trying to get a solid answer on how many butts were in seats, was like pulling hens teeth! There has to be a better system than what the establishment was doing at that time.
It's an attempt to get parties to understand why a lot of their cases could be handled out of court...or just how silly their case sounds to ALL of us...except them.
I’m glad the judge understood what was going on because I was lost.
don't feel bad both the plaintiff and defendant were lost
Me too
Completely confused
Same!
I was too this was like looking at CSI
She should have made sure her party had wristbands that way she could have kept track of who all attended. Then the owner could have used a code when keying in orders for the event in order to have a proper head count for her business.
Exactly what I thought. Hopefully she learned from this for the future.
That's way too simple. Better to bash it out in court.

Should have just sold plates. Meaning the event was 20$ a plate. Or whatever. Then give her half of tickets sold
On the one hand good for her for writing a book about a topic that needs attention 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The judgement was fair and I loved the plaintiff’s attitude when she said something is better than nothing!
Wow to the guy in the street audience. I swear we all have a story to tell.

Nobody knows for sure how many people went to this event in the first place which makes this case a very difficult one to figure out.

Maybe the ticket holder brought a second person. They weren't counting at the door at all.
She said she counted her own people. So if she had 10 people to help with things that would make sense. 10 seems excessive though
Well she sold 30 tix, however, there was her video guy, the DJ, their guests and her guests, guests…
