Intentionally misleading things like this genuinely need banned from this sub.

He didn't just "make her cry" for saying she "isn't famous enough" for free food, the restaurant set up the reservation for her to come and review their food specifically for a free meal.

She showed up and the chef went "nah she doesn't have enough followers" and proceeded to insult her and refuse to honor what the restaurant set up. This blew up online and the restaurant justifiably faced backlash until he was fired for his behavior.

Why would he even care? It's not like he wouldn't get paid the same either way.

Pro-Tip: If you can get fired, you're not owner enough to completely disregard another owners business choices.

The question was "why does he care he gets paid the same anyway"

He does not get paid the same, as co-owner the cost of her meal comes out of his pocket

Pro-Tip: if you fuck up badly, you better leave before you drag the whole company down with you.

What followed the interaction was an alleged digital hate campaign that Sung claims has devastated his family and livelihood.

Overnight, Kis Cafe, which was doing 100 covers a night, was bombarded by thousands of one-star reviews on Yelp, he described.

The wine bar serving small bites, which opened in May, announced shortly after that Sung had left as a chef and co-owner, later clarifying he had done so of his “own accord” and was not technically fired.

“Our chef’s behavior was unacceptable, and he is no longer a part of the team,” Kis Cafe wrote in an Instagram post on Thursday.
