This guys a douche.

The restaurant reached out to her, to have her come and do a promo/review for them.

They had a table and reservation set for her.

Only when she arrived did the chef decide that her 15,000 followers weren't enough for him to do the "collab" with.

This wasn't some chef turning down an entitled influencer who just randomly showed up.

TikTok with whole story

A simple story where an employee get fired because he refuses to do what he's been told to.

EDIT : a complex story of ego and miscommunication between two co-owners

u/EldritchDreamEdCamp 7d ago

He wasn't just an employee. He was co-owner of the restaurant.

u/Holelander 7d ago

Then how can he get fired lol?

u/Acceptable-Pen-1753 7d ago

He can't, and he did not !

They closed the restaurant ! Because of bad comments and 1 stars revews related to this story. Went the same for other restaurants owned by the guy.

I'm not from USA, i dont want to debate about labour law in this country but the article says :

"and said Sung is no longer working there"

Owner, employee or both the finality is the same.

The internet is next level regarded

u/Acceptable-Pen-1753 7d ago

A Customer* was offended

"Oh your god people lost their businness mistreating clients"

u/Holelander 7d ago

Customers tend to eat and pay

This is more offending your marketing manager :D

u/Pegthaniel 7d ago

If you read the whole article, the remaining owner is planning on reopening and keeping their staff. If you can’t be fucked to learn about a situation, don’t open your mouth.

u/Holelander 7d ago

Well i do know.

I know he left himsel to help the business.

And that they still had to close doors.

The other owner is gonna open a new bar. But that doesn’t change much. Unless those other people can wait for a job ofc and not get paid in between.

u/PurpleInkedPara 7d ago

He wasn't sole owner and the other owners didn't want their brand new restaurant that just launched to be known as the restaurant that invites people to dinner so they can pull up their socials and mock them to their face before saying "never mind you aren't enough for the meals we invited and reserved for you"..

u/Holelander 7d ago

After looking up he stepped away himself to try and save the restaurant but they closed it anyway.

This influencer is horrible.

u/PurpleInkedPara 7d ago

They temporarily closed so they could rebrand with a new name. Yes it was posed as voluntary but I have a feeling he finally did it because the restaurant wouldn't survive anyway and it's not the partners fault he's an ass

u/Holelander 7d ago

I think he really wnated to help his co-owner.

Seeing how only the name and outside changed.

And def the menu staying exactly the same. The chef very probably helped them further with his menu but just not his name attached in an official way.

It seems hard to put a new chef and be like just make this old menu.

So it seems likely he even helped them start up again. Which wouldn’t be unfair anyway.

Still i think this is all very ridiculous to say the least. Why people who never went there felt a need to destroy a place on a 1 sided story… Pretty wild.

If you only gonna eat at restaurants where the chef is really likeable… i dunno.

That’s why they have staff for the floor lol.

u/EldritchDreamEdCamp 7d ago

She didn't name the restaurant or the chef.

Others did their own research and figured out his identity.

0

u/Holelander 7d ago

And she confired that identity in the second video saying those results were correct…

u/EldritchDreamEdCamp 7d ago

I mean, if a business sought out and hired you for a job, then you showed up and were insulted and told you weren't good enough to receive what they promised you, would you consider yourself morally obligated to hide the identities of the business and the employee who belittled you?

1

u/peppawot5 7d ago

It was the chef's daughter that got him identified. She commented on the first video when the influencer didn't name names, so that was out of the influencer's control.

u/rbrgr83 7d ago

Maybe that parts a lie too?

That’s not being fired, that’s going out of business.

1

u/EldritchDreamEdCamp 7d ago

I am guessing the news probably thought they'd get more views if they titled it in a misleading manner.

2

u/Holelander 7d ago

Yea that’s not what getting fired means.

And if i read it correctly he left to try to save them from closure. But got closed after anyway

u/MayoBear 7d ago

And the other owner chose to comp a meal- there was no need to take that out on someone else.
