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.
