The man was excited to learn about Restaurant Depot and discovered he could get a day pass there.
The information comes from a video posted by popular TikTok creator Jordan The Stallion (@jordan_the_stallion8) on Thursday afternoon, which has already garnered over 1.4 million views and 194,200 likes. ing.
It starts with the stitches of Miami Cougar (@jesstheprequeldosmiami), who filmed a video of a giant box of hash browns delivered to her by Restaurant Depot, which reportedly cost just $5.49.
In the TikTok video, she declares it an “unreasonable amount of hash browns,” but of course, some commenters disagreed.
The delivery was what one commenter called an Instacart-related mishap, in which $100 worth of hash browns turned out to have been delivered to Miami Cougar for a much lower price, while Jordan was at Restaurant Depot. I found myself intrigued by what was available.
according to its websiteRestaurant Depot is a “wholesale cash and carry foodservice supplier…supplying independent food businesses with quality products from our large cash and carry warehouse stores since 1990.”
The site continues, “By eliminating the overhead of traditional distributors, focusing on the needs of independent foodservice operators, and offering free membership, we are an alternative to other foodservice suppliers. It has become a major low-cost alternative.”
Jordan begins the video with a hash brown stitch, saying, “I called Restaurant Depot. I said, ‘Hey, I saw somewhere that someone ordered $5 worth of hash browns in a giant box. Tayo.”
He continued, “The guy said to me, ‘No, we’re not your average grocery store.'” And I’m like, “What do you mean?” He said, “If you don’t want to go somewhere where you can get 5 pounds of tater tots and 7 pounds of mozzarella sticks or 120 cases of David’s Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough, you might not want to go here.” I don’t know.”
And he said: “I said, ‘Sir, I’m on my way to Restaurant Depot and you should be a salesman.'”
The employee tried to chase him away at the pass, saying he needed a membership or a day pass. This information is confirmed on the website, but there is no information about costs.
But Jordan said, “Look, if you’re trying to dissuade me, you’re not doing a great job because I’m in the car right now.”
Then he said: “I don’t think you realize how much this guy was trying to keep me from going to this Restaurant Depot. “First of all, we don’t sell fresh seafood. “No, we don’t offer returns,” he said. I’m saying, “You don’t have to worry about the seafood. You don’t have to worry about the seafood.” You won’t get anything. ”
“And second, I promise you that if you walk into a store where you can buy a 3-pound bag of cookies for $14, you’ll never think about returning it. Next time you see me, buy another 3-pound bag of cookies.” Please come. I have a mission.”
