Be grateful for what you have. NEVER use it as a reason to shame or bully those that are less fortunate than you.

One person said: This video says more about you than it does them.

A second wrote: Instead of shaming them, offer to buy them dinner!

A third sarcastically added: Man, you’re at Chili’s acting fancy.

Another added: You never know what people are personally going through. Mind your own business.

Someone else said: What’s worse is going out on a date and getting seated next to a crew like him and his peeps.

Another user added: He was with his crew but buddy was with his girl. They probably enjoyed themselves.

Fitness influencer responds with powerful message

Fitness influencer Joey ‘Swoll’ Sergo weighed in, sharing the video on Valentine’s Day with a strong message against Cee’s actions.

“This video is so sad, so disappointing to see,” Sergo said.

He emphasized the financial struggles many people face and reflected on his own experiences.

“Times are hard for a lot of people. There are couples who can’t afford to go out to eat tonight. I know how that feels. I’ve been that guy.”

Sergo then called on Cee to rethink his behavior.

“Be grateful that you have enough money to buy what you want. Instead of shaming this man, mind your own business.”

His response resonated with many, reinforcing the idea that kindness and empathy should prevail over public ridicule.
