'Shun, don't shame': How Hollywood restaurants are treating disgraced diners in the MeToo era
We still don't know if all these #MeToo offenders are going to try to work in Hollywood again. But they are definitely going to try to eat here again.
Two women saw John Lasseter at the Eleven City Diner recently and their reaction, according to both, was a very strong "like, errggh." When Les Moonves ventured back to the Polo Lounge, he was, perhaps unwisely, seated near Kathy Griffin. She asked the waitress to move her by loudly explaining, "I don't like sitting next to rapists." I hope she wasn't also sitting next to the restaurant owner, who's charging $29 for a hummus and pita platter.
Micah Wexler says his four Wexler's Delis are democratic and meant to serve everyone, no matter what his own opinions are: "This movement of restaurateurs taking themselves a little too seriously and acting like they're changing the world, that we accept this and support that, you have to take a reality check and say, 'We are making food and providing a service.' Let's not get confused and think we're working in the Peace Corps.
One other way of handling a horrifying guest is to follow the "shun, don't shame" advice of Daniel Buccino, the director of the Johns Hopkins Civility Initiative. "If somebody calls that you are not comfortable hosting, you may want to say, 'We're fully committed for Saturday evening. And Tuesday evening as well,' " he suggests. And if they do walk in, make it obvious that you're rescinding their former VIP status.
