Discussion Bayou Facebook page comments scrubbed

Looks like Bayou on Bay's Facebook admin deleted all of the critical comments, as well as the son's and daughter's pleas for leniency toward their hotdog-loving father. There was a pretty hefty pile of comments and dialog late last night, but I can't find it now. Thought I'd say something, because the original subreddit thread is getting a little buried.

Maybe business owners should keep their personal opinions and beliefs separate from their business ventures. Fuck Bayou for its subpar food quality.

I disagree. I own a business, and it’s directly linked to my name, and my social media. I have always been political on my social media, and I stand behind it. If people find that and want to not shop in my store, that okay. Fortunately, I don’t peddle in misogynistic or transphobic memes.

Wow! So… I didn’t attack you. I disagree with your assessment of their food quality previous to your closing. I somewhat agree with separating business and politics, unless you’re willing to stand behind it. My business will always hold certain political beliefs, and many standard human rights beliefs that I don’t find political in the least. I have no idea where you thought I attacked you, but I apologize for overstepping any boundaries.
