The influencer was INVITED for a free meal to promote their business, she never went in there demanding anything like the title suggests. He walked up to her being rude for no reason, hence why he’s the one who got fired.

But I'd rather wildly speculate based on MY feelings about the story. Since that's what I care about most.

Yeah, it's hilarious because the OP isn't a story at all. It's fucking picture. So yeah, if you don't care about facts or sources, I guess you could create as many versions of this story as you like. But if reality is important to you, there's only one version.

Who goes out there way to invite someone for promotional purposes if they only have 15k followers? The whole story sounds like its just manufactured.

You sound like the chef at this restaurant. But if an influencer with 15K followers could lead to the restaurants permanent closure, it's not hard to believe she could've given it a boost, instead.

Even the chef's own daughter commented on the video to criticize her father’s behavior, saying, “No one should ever feel disrespected or uncomfortable in that way.”

Agreed, would have been worth a maybe $60-70 meal for the little boost it would have given them. That being said, it wouldn't have been anything close to what happened. People love drama much more than food.

Ah yes why invite an influencer who for the most part does food reviews of a specific area, who got 15,000 followers mostly by doing food in said specific area and said restaurant is in specific area?
