    This was thankfully debunked as fake

    Edit; I looked for the post, I couldn’t find it, IM SORRY. There was evidence that she made it up for clout but I don’t remember anything more than that.

      So it doesn’t actually work well when you say that the claim without source was debunked… And you also don’t provide source.

      Whatchoo talking about, bro?

        The meme itself is not even a source.

        Like, me saying I had lunch with sasquatch is not something someone needs to rigorously debunk.

          I mean I get what you’re saying but… One is a hairy apeman people claim to see in the woods, the other is companies doing something unethical and shady to improve their bottom line which there is absolutely precedent for.

          Yeah it’s unlikely this story is real but your analogy makes no sense

    This seems suspect.

    The woman in question is a tiktok ‘influencer’ who has the most amazing things hapoen to her - always wiithout evidence.

    I think it’s just as likely that she’s lying to get views and subscribers,

    This was already debunked awhile ago. it’s bullshit. no restaurant, regardless of how poorly they’re doing, is going to go through all this work to maybe, just mabye, get $50 out of them.

      If it were true, you might buy there once, but it will always leave a bitter taste. So not sure if it would be good advertising if you never go there again.

    Man, I saw a guy once getting stood up and I was really sad. The guy was seated, waited, asked for something small, waited more, changed tables to free space for a larger group and then paid and left. I mean, everyone here probably went on dates that got nowhere. Finish the meal, shake hands and leave separate. It’s part of life. But the golden rule is never go into the restaurant alone. Always meet outside l, somewhere else.

      Spoken like someone who isn’t afraid of potential dates. Lol.

      No way I’m meeting privately on a first date with someone I don’t know. I’d rather be stood up in the restaurant.

    This is fake but it makes me wonder if someone has used a fake profile (that is set up to be more appealing than they actually are) so they could “swoop in” by pretending to notice they were “stood up”.
