Is this incredibly racist or am I being sensitive

[Restaurantlover]

Have had to nc as incredibly outing.

I enquired about a blossom tree installation in my restaurant, someone got back to me with a quote and I said great what’s his timescales. He let me know a date and I told him it would be suitable but nothing yet agreed.
Next thing I know he says he requires a 50% deposit because he’s ordered the blossom for the tree.
I never asked him to order the blossom, never agreed that the work would actually be done and certainly didn’t agree to give him 50% upfront.

I’ve had to block him as he is continuously ringing and messaging me and is just being plain nasty, to both my husband and I.

I think he’s gone a step too far with this Facebook post though, the reference to scrubbing korma pans and polishing shoes just gets to me, I feel he’s being racist, we have an Indian restaurant but I don’t actually go/work there so he’s obviously made that up to be spiteful.

Glad we can finally agree

Hahaha, aye very good, so you have. You just sound like a 5 year old now.

Also, could you answer this question from @CakeBeautifulCake :

Still curious as to why you paid from your own money before securing a deposit from the op? Surely that would have avoided this situation in the first place?

I agree that he's racist, but why contact hmrc?

I chose several quotes. It didn’t come up for me.

Nice that nobody has outed him here yet. Though I would have loved a nosy!

Come on then @Skidmark123 post the messages where the owners said they were on a yacht in Dubai, and that they were “good for the money”

Yeah I will believe that when you show me receipts. Hopefully youll be filing for a tax return as well eh

A lot has been posted in the last 4 hours.

Still haven't got the whole picture

To whoever asked about the Dubai holiday, we were never in Dubai, skidmark claimed I said this to get out of paying. Which is untrue.

now he’s arrived here, perhaps he would like to show these photographs he claims to have.

Either way, his posts further confirm what I originally felt.

Course you did dear. You must have made £100k by now surely!

Lol, no you havent!!!!

Yes dear.

Do the buckles up tight tonight. Xx

Nice...

Still waiting for the deletion message. Skidmark's left marks all over the thread.

Nar, it’s most definitely got a whiff of racist piece of shit

Jesus, this is getting nasty mow.

Oh dear. You're well shot, OP. Keep a record of any messages/prank calls etc. in case the harassment continues. I think the latter part of this thread at least answers your thread question once and for all.

Sounds like you agreed the work and you owe him money.

PS you can read your name on the FB post…

But you're not racist.

"Well that part is my fault." I'm glad you recognise this. Why are you leaving bad, weird reviews everywhere? What are you hoping to achieve with it?
Op asked for 20% deposit to be given upfront, you wanted 50%, why was there no polite middle ground? What made the jump from a civil conversation to social media retaliation? Again, not attacking, genuinely just confused.

So you’ve given up the pretence of not being racist now then @Skidmark123 ?

No mow May?
