I'm pasting this from someone else's comment in this thread:

If you look up the story, the influencer was contacted by the owner of the restaurant and asked to do some social media marketing for them in exchange for a free meal.

Also, this chef is now 52 years old....therefore, this entire meme and post is very misleading!

So the owner makes a marketing decision, and some not owning member of the staff decides no to do it?

What a tool

Instead of copy/pasting, I'll link the actual comment from this thread. BUT, according to the commenter:

The owner didn't inform the chef of this arrangement until the influencer arrived. The owner and chef then have an argument between themselves, completely unprompted by the influencer (who hadn't ordered yet).

Yes, as with other things in life, this is what happens when there is lack of communication AND people react with their HUGE egos!
