The Best Way to Treat a Bigot | A Lesson in Business
A rude man walks into a bar.
He looks around and notices an old man sitting quietly in the corner. Smirking, he turns to the bartender and says loudly:
“Buy a round of beer for everyone… except that old man over there.”
The crowd cheers. The man turns to watch, expecting a reaction—but the old man simply smiles and nods politely.
Annoyed, he tries again:
“Alright then—give everyone your sweetest wine… except him.”
More cheers. He looks back, but the old man is still smiling, even nodding a little more warmly this time.
Now clearly irritated, the man grits his teeth:
“Fine. A bottle of your most expensive drink for everyone in this bar… except that guy!”
He turns around, satisfied—only to freeze. The old man is still smiling… and even waves at him.
Furious, the man snaps at the bartender:
“What’s wrong with that guy? Is he crazy or something?”
The bartender shrugs:
“Nope. He’s the owner.”
