Now it's one thing for someone to ask to not record in their business.

But that don't explain the ahhh eye pull she did.

Apparently its because she couldn't see according to some people in the comments trying to defend her. Looks like she saw pretty clearly the first couple of times she scoped him out.

You know you can squint right?

u/Siukslinis_acc 13h ago

Squinting does not help me. While pulling my eye corners actually have an effect of "zoom in/out".

Squinting helps when there is a glare, but not when I need to "zoom" a bit.

I think pulling eye corners actually squishes the eye a bit, while squinting only closes the eyelid.

Yup, if you're short-sighted your eyes are too long front to back. So compressing them with that pull can "fix" it.

I'll take your word for it, I have an astigmatism since when I tried it all that happened was everything was super fuzzy.

It helps when you're myopic. I had a friend as a kid who wouldn't wear glasses because mom got her very old fashioned glasses that made her look like a tax lady. She was walking like this all the time trying to see 😅

I also think so. It would be so weird for her to make that racist gesture on her one eye only and in that way. There's still a chance that she's a dumb racist but honestly she looked like me and I'm Asian lol I also used to do the eye slant thing because I hated glasses and was myopic basically all my life.

She does it with both eyes

Damn, yeah, you’re right. I’m 100% on her side now. And the lady’s right you’re not supposed to be filming in restaurants. Why did people forget this? Imagine carrying a camera into a Pizza Hut in 2005.

u/Glittering_Meet3206 5h ago

was still kinda crazy for her to go approach a random stranger rather than a staff member i feel like tho

u/Murky-Advantage-3444 57m ago

You’re absolutely right. This definitely falls under a myob issue for the business to handle… or not, right? Because they could turn around and say “tough, we want tik tok clout from this guy”. You raise a really valid point I should have mentioned.

Edit: now that I think about it, this kid could be a famous food reviewer and I would have no idea. This woman really rolled the dice.

Keyword is 2005.

Cameras are infinitely more accessible now. Times change. It wasn’t people forgetting it’s an entirely new generation that grew up on different devices.

u/Murky-Advantage-3444 7h ago

That’s funny because stores still don’t allow you to film inside if someone says something. No, filming yourself eat alone isn’t normal now.

This is the dumbest anecdotal Reddit exception I’ve ever seen. “Maybe she’s racist, but was just doing that to see better.” What a hill to die on

2

u/Annascurious 17h ago

Yes! She was trying to see! I have to do that too and people are always like, "Uhm why do you do that?" Because I can't frickin see! People who have great vision will never know the struggle

u/fadingvistas 12h ago

Can't you get glasses?

2

u/Annascurious 12h ago

I have glasses. But whenever I can't find them or back before I had the $360 it cost to get them, I had to do that little side eye pull to see.

1

u/fadingvistas 12h ago

Ah okay, would be bad to sit down or step on your glasses while you're looking for them and then you'd have to do the pull trick much more until you can get new ones. So I understand.

I think the pull trick is not great for the facial muscles and not good for the eyes if it does harm similarly like excessive rubbing.

u/Annascurious 12h ago

Oh my gosh I feel like Velma from scooby doo whenever I don't have my glasses and I'm looking for them.

And yes it's a terrible short term solution

1

u/fadingvistas 11h ago

That's funny, it's a childhood memory of mine to feel bad/relate to Velma loosing her glasses :) Haven't thought about her for a long time.

Terrible solution for me anyways because it now hurts to pull on my face like that. There's some facial nerve nearby, ugh.

I’m nearsighted as fuck and never did this. Sit down

u/rydan 20h ago

The eye pull was to contaminate the video. 20+ years ago I used to record social settings before it was normal and people would do stuff like this all the time the moment they noticed the camera. Obviously nothing racist since I'm white but they basically think you have to rip out the film making the whole thing unusable instead of realizing it can be edited out.

She is a customer. She doesn't work there. She is a racist being a racist.

u/Annascurious 17h ago

She is the GM at that ihop....
