>> ANA: There is a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco that has an owner who is so frustrated with you
damn liberals and hipsters who keep asking about MSG and organic products and whether or not you're using
any type of trans fats.
Well, James Chu, who is the owner of a Chinese restaurant called So decide to actually shut down his restaurant
early on a Thursday because he became so fed up with all these questions about whether or not his Chinese food is healthy.
So let me show you the sign that he posted in front of his business.
He said, "We are closed because of you, customers.
So yes, we use MSG.
So we don't believe in organic food.
And don't give a shit about gluten free."
>> Damn.
But there are asterisks by two of those.
Maybe it's sarcastic.
I can't tell.
I want to check the bottom, but there's no references.
>> ANA: So apparently one customer kind of threw him off the edge after he refused to pay for his meal because
he didn't like it.
He said, hey, there's a policy that states that if I don't like the food,
I don't have to pay for it.
He just obviously made that policy up.
And that really upset the owner of the restaurant.
Finally, he's like, you know what?
I've had enough.
We're closing early.
And, you know, local media interviewed him about it and he seemed for used.
>> The only one customers with low standards.
>> ANA: There's the owner right there.
He seems pleasant, though.
>> I can buy that.
>> The San Francisco news reported -- they said the owner --
they said his name was He So Pissed.
They said that was that San Francisco.
>> ANA: Damn.
>> That was that San Francisco station that --
I couldn't remember the name of the name.
>> I can't remember it.
>> That was making fun of them.
I'm not also being racist.
But when I heard that story, I was like, there's something wong here.
I'm not actually sure --
>> ANA: Oh, my God.
Those of you who don't know, just to cover our bases,
it's a reference to a local media outlet who thought that they had the names of the victims of a plan crash.
And they read a prank.
>> And they got pranked and they -- they said that guy's name was something wong.
I reported on the Jimmy Dore show, and that's one of our biggest videos so far.
>> ANA: I'm not surprised.
That was a funny story.
So look, let's address this issue.
I like organic food.
I don't like MSG.
I'm all about eating healthy, right?
But I kind of love this guy, and now I kind of want to eat at his restaurant.
>> Really?
>> ANA: You're going to a Chinese restaurant, okay?
You want options?
You're in San Francisco.
Healthy options are all over the place, right?
It's a private business.
This is what he offers.
If people are just asking him and he's getting frustrated by that,
make a sign, point to the sign, move on with your life.
If you don't want to keep answering the same question over and over again.
If people are harassing and basically telling him, hey, this is how you should run your business.
We don't want MSG in our Chinese food, then he's right in being angry with them.
Just get off my lawn.
This is my private business.
This is what I'm serving you.
If you don't like it, you don't have to frequent my establishment.
>> I'm a little torn.
You can't expect everything to be healthy just because it's in San Francisco.
After work, I went on my way home and I picked up a Papa John's pizza.
>> ANA: So you did pick up that pizza.
>> I picked up the pizza.
I didn't ask them, hey, is this low carb.
No, it's pizza.
It's not good for you.
Neither is Chinese food.
But at the same time, like, if you're in San Francisco,
and everybody is kind of a hippy and they want that sort of thing,
get some local onions or something.
You can do at least that.
You can do the organic.
Maybe you need MSG.
A lot of Chinese does not have MSG, so you don't think you necessarily need it.
But as a waiter, I am frustrated with some things, like the gluten free and stuff like that,
because people will come in and say that they're allergic to something or they can't process something.
As a waiter, you're thinking, I have no idea what is in any of this.
This guy's gonna die, and the blood's gonna be on my hands.
So I feel for him in that regard, at least.
>> ANA: Look, you should know what's in your food.
The waiter should know what's in your food.
I don't even think that this place has -- I don't know.
I don't know how the businesses run.
But nonetheless, at least they're clear about what they offer.
And if you don't like it, you don't have to eat there.
It's that simple.
There doesn't need to be this crazy outrage over it.
>> I agree.
All he has is say MSG, we don't have gluten free.
Just so you know.
>> With extra gluten.
>> Yeah, we add extra gluten.
I like the gluten.
I need a little inflammation inside of me.
But I don't understand what the big deal is.
But definitely, this guy should teach a customer relations class I think for sure.
This guy --
>> ANA: He should be the head of human resources at a major corporation.
>> I think he already works for charter communications.
I think he already -- I think I talked to him the other day.
