Influencer mocked after restaurant posts her messages saying she ‘deserved a free meal’
An angry Instagram influencer claimed she could ‘eat where she wanted for free’ and called a restaurant owner ‘arrogant’ after being told she had to pay for a meal.
Restaurant Lucky Ramen and Sushi in Manchester shared a screenshot of a direct message from the online celebrity who they dubbed the ‘blue tick superstar’.
She had asked if they were open to giving her and her boyfriend a free brunch in exchange for a post on her social media.
But the restaurant slammed her entitled request online, saying ‘because, you know, exposure pays the bills!’.
Following their post, the influencer messaged them back saying: ‘We go where we want, eat what we want and lastly – it’s all for free! WHOS LAUGHING NOW???
‘Personally, I think you’re bang out of order. HOW DARE you try and expose us like that??? So you think people like us don’t deserve to eat for FREE???
‘Just in case you didn’t realise, we are doing our best to help and promote you for FREEEE!!! We don’t expect much, just a free meal to compensate our time, labour, effort, and positive energy that we are supplying you.
‘The fact that you wanna expose us influencers like that, we will not be coming by anytime soon to support. Your food looks good and we heard it’s a great busy vibe, hence trying to support.
‘But your arrogance makes me sick. Haha very funny, you got a couple of giggles, but we’re the ones who are laughing.’
In their response, the restaurant sarcastically ‘changed their mind’ and said the would ‘roll out the red carpet’ for the influencer.
They wrote: ‘And that’s not all – our chefs are ready to part ways with their Crocs and Birkenstocks, throwing them in as an extra bonus for your tender love and labour!
‘Even my dad’s medal of honour from the Japan war is up for grabs – he’s feeling generous the old geezer, and he’s even contemplating wheeling in his new eco-friendly hybrid wheelchair for you!’
They signed off: ‘Bon appetit + Arigato-the-f*ck-outta-here. Team LUCKY (unfluencer + no blue tick).’
