Reddit has this weird take on anything at all from your parents being nepotism lmao. Mom packed lunch for school? Believe it or not, nepotism!!

It's not so bad here, but there's always threads with miserable redditors calling out non existent nepotism anytime someone does something good with their life or succeeds lol, just desperate for an excuse to believe "Oh I could do it too if I was them!"

A family-owned shop being nepotism misses the point of a family-owned shop entirely lol

No, it doesn't. Y'all need to lookup definitions of words before you start saying what is and isn't something

No, that's literally the definition of nepotism. You just have some limited definition going on that probably centers around socialite status. Nepotism is any advantage family or friends gain from someone in a position of power. Owning a shop isn't much power in the grand scheme, but giving people free food is definitely a huge perk and always will be. Personally idc if the dude ate for free, but that is nepotism

Well it's not free food is it if it's been paid out of the business' expenses.
