Side note -- I once saw the owner of Alba assault an elderly man. The older man was in his 80s, the owner of Napoli pizza. When Keka opened his new location a couple doors down from Napoli, the owner went in to congratulate him. Instead, Keka thought he was there to "steal his business" and he knocked him down. The owner of Napoli ended up in the hospital. Real nice guy, Keka. I hope he gets a hangnail every day for the rest of his life.

Their valet service where they take up half of the public street parking is shady af. Literally selling public land access. Parking in crosswalks, bus stop, intersections, and taking up 25% of the entire blocks public parking is messed up.

Legally fucked for what? Having a window?

there’s pretty clearly much more to the story here, i doubt the dude knocked on his door and he opened up with “YOU’RE HERE TO STEAL IT ALL” before cackling and knocking him out

Alba used to have decent regular brunch and Thanksgiving brunch the weekend after. Great mimosas too!
Always thought it weird that they had a couple of tables “reserved” for a couple of politicians with plaques.
Haven’t been there in over a decade though.

The old man had the last laugh, though. While he distracted Keka, his nephew snuck in the back. He was discovered pretty quickly, so he only managed to steal some of the business.

What news is this?

They’re not going to be held responsible for a driver who already admitted he fucked up.

That Jeff Sullivan guy kisses Alba’s ass every day. He’s a major douche. Alba’s sucks. It’s overrated and overpriced. They think they own the entire block blocking everything. Koch has to be getting a kickback from them to ignore what they do.

I love to hate on Apple as much as the next guy, but Apple was clearly not the problem here.

So… are we buying this? From the set-up of Derby St Hingham, it just… seems hard to do what the driver did by accident.

He's there after a mass casualty event where someone was killed. What do you expect from him.
ijustlikebeingnosy t1_ixule58 wrote
Even if he did it on purpose, Apple still isn’t responsible. Which is what the comment said that I replied to.

Yes, $2 trillion Apple is “legally fucked” due to a negligent driver accident in a building they don’t own.

I really don't think so. Other Quincy Center business owners/managers always described Keka as uber-aggressive to deal with. He seemed aggressive to the point of paranoia and it didn't take a lot to set him off. People joked about how much of the profits were going up his nose, given his erratic behavior. He would toss customers out of the place if they sent stuff back to the kitchen.
The Napoli owner and his wife -- Guy and Josephine -- were really awesome. They were supportive of the area businesses. They wanted Quincy Center to succeed, not just their shop. When I took over a business in the center, they came in to meet/welcome us, brought us lunch, etc., etc. Other managers/owners always spoke really highly of the Consolis and they steered away from Keka.

Okay dude relax I was not questioning whether Apple was responsible. Just discussing a detail, that you mentioned, about the incident.

I mean considering the slave labor that Apple uses to manufacture their products, you’ll have to pardon me if I’m not ready to start lauding a tech CEO for showing up for a PR photo shoot.

beannet t1_ixutbox wrote
it’s a fair discussion: whether the driver did what he did intentionally. I am seeing this is quite controversial.

Fuji is way better than Alba, haven't been to Alba since they stopped doing brunch. The owner of Fuji is a good guy too.

Could that be because the other ones also keep it low key and you don't hear about the other ones either?

Just a weird response from you telling someone who's being totally relaxed to relax
beannet t1_ixv3foi wrote
Not that weird. I wanted to discuss the driver, cause this was the first I heard about the driver saying “he fucked up”. I wanted to know if we believe that.
Guy starts goin on about the original comment and how that’s not what i’m saying yadda yadda. Like yeah man I know. I was never arguing. Just askin a lil question, open for discussion. Relax.

I’m sure he doesn’t care. It’s just good public relations.

How could you know that? Wouldn't you only know about the ones that do post and have no idea about the ones that don't? Like with Tim apple you would have never known he went there without this picture.

It wasn’t a negligent driver. It was an intentional act of violence by a former employee. That doesn’t make it Apple’s fault, but it wasn’t driver negligence.
