In this ESSENCE Now segment, our panelists discuss Thanksgiving protocol and recent news that a woman was charging her family $30 per plate for Thanksgiving dinner.
Transcript
00:00I read a story on Bossip, there was this lady who, I love Bossip, I know, there was a story
00:10about this lady who was going to start charging her auntie's suggestion.
00:13I saw that.
00:14She went to charge, what, $30, $50 a plate?
00:15$30 a plate.
00:16I think that was a good way to, to the people that just showed up, to the family, to the
00:21people that was already invited.
00:22She's going to do all the cooking, all you got to do is show up and run that $30, but
00:26I think that's a good way to get rid of the unsolicited people that just show up.
00:30That's a lot.
00:31Not the regular family, just the people, the randoms who show up.
00:34No!
00:35Everybody!
00:36Yeah!
00:37Oh, that's no.
00:38I don't know about that.
00:39But if she takes, if she's taking care of everything, all you got to do is show up.
00:43I'll tell you what happens though, she had 12 months to get that together.
00:47That's true.
00:48You got 12 months of opening and having it at your house.
00:50Here's the thing, as a host, we have it at your house, it is an unwritten rule.
00:54It's your responsibility.
00:55It's your responsibility.
00:56It's your responsibility.
00:57Yeah.
00:58And if you want to pay, there are other places I could pay.
01:00I think when you charge, it goes from Thanksgiving to now this is a transaction.
01:05Yeah.
01:06Now I got to take my scrutiny filter off.
01:08This is true.
01:09I got to let you know.
01:10And now I'm looking at everything real aggressively.
01:11I got to say, I don't know.
01:12But you know people do that anyway, right?
01:14With dishes.
01:15Like if they don't like a dish, people will let you know.
01:17At whose house?
01:18At whose house?
01:19Oh, no.
01:20Not too much.
01:21Keep that outside.
01:22I wish you would.
01:23You just push it to the side while you're eating.
01:25You just don't eat it.
01:26Yeah.
01:27I wish you would.
01:28You just don't have to let me know.
01:29And let me know.
01:30Let me know.
01:31I guess.
01:35Okay.
01:36You know, let me know.
01:37I can't tell you, let me know what's going on.
