Restaurant owner's mother-in-law tries to cut in line and demands freebies when she shows up with friends, daughter-in-law refuses to give her special treatment and sticks to her principles: 'No favoritism, no exceptions'

Balancing family and business is not an easy task. One restaurant owner came face-to-face with this terrible fact when her mother-in-law showed up with friends, expecting VIP treatment. Things got awkward fast; you see, our homegirl prides herself on treating every customer equally. That means no cutting corners, no bending rules, and no freebies -- especially not to people who straight-up feel entitled to them! After she refused to make an exception, MIL accused her of embarassing her in public.
Unfortunately, many small business owners can relate to this tale. I know someone that owns a coffee shop (more of a coffee truck, actually), and before he set some firm boundaries, he had multiple relatives "forget" to pay because they expected family perks to be part of the deal. But the truth is, giving into special treatmeat doesn't just chip away at profits, it undermines fairness and professional boundaries. And honestly, be they business-related or not, it's incredibly important to stick to your principles in the face of entitlement.
