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
Both are things people will believe without evidence because they want to believe it.
A hairy ape man in the woods is cool. Shitting on businesses is cool.
A restaurant stole my wallet once. Prove me wrong.
Why? I believe you.
Hah gotem.
I once had a train run on me by JP Morgan, Goldman and Sachs, and Blackrock.
Hell yeah brother
there was probably some profit to be made, they’d totally do that. it’s not like they would be held accountable
It’s a fucking meme, of course it doesn’t have a source. No one in their right mind would trust this as fact anyway.

You ain’t getting outta here without spilling some of that evidence
Seems like they are outta here… without spilling any evidence :(

I’ve seen others saying it’s legit.
Also would be pretty hard to substantiate or debunk definitively.
Concrete evidence would be, say, the tiktoker in question being caught out or admitting it was fabricated.
I’ll show you my source if you show me yours.
Dang so it’s advertising that this is an untapped idea
Hire the VAs (Virtual Assistants) now to start ghostkitching (catfishing)! Great return on investment 😬
Name of the restaurant should have been included somewhere.
Yeah. I’m curious where this article was posted. It’s sounds like clickbait. How would she even figure that out?
Well that’s a great way to have a customer come exactly once to your place and order something small and cheap and then never return out of bad memories and embarrassment. It’s also a great way to make a name as “that restaurant where you’ll get ghosted” for yourself. For real, either the place would get a bad rep as a cursed place, or (more likely) they lose valuable potential customers because they will never go back to a place where they have been stood up.
Honestly, if a place did that to me, arson would be in their future…
I’d march on in there, and put my arse on everything I could, until everyone knew they were that restaurant where that guy put his arson everything.
The original creator of the video never named the restaurant and also has since deleted the video. I can’t find any explanation or followup from her, so this is likely a fake story.
That’s called fraud, and it violates consent, and it’s therefore not a free market activity, which makes it more of a breakdown of capitalism than the thing itself.
Hey its called catfishing and for some of us it’s the only way we can get a date…
Signed - definitely not a restaurant totally super hunky dream guy
Hey super hunky dream guy! You said we should meet for lunch, what was that restaurant you mentioned?
When my kids were young they called McDonald’s “Dick Donald’s”.
Just wanted to randomly point that out.
Thanks for clarification!
Good luck using them though.
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.
Also, once the media gets ahold of the story, your business is sunk.
This seems like it is illegal… If it isn’t now, it certainly will be as soon as it happens to a politician.
IIRC, this was completely made up.
You could probably ding them for fraud, but as others have said, this is fake.
It really says a lot about lemmites that they are treating this as a real thing.
IMHO it says more about humans and social media. People on Facebook and Reddit will believe much more far-fetched stories.
I don’t actually think there’s a ministry of silly walks. While this piece probably didn’t start out as satire it effectively tickles the same bones.
I feel like in this case just say lemmings lol
Whole new meaning to Ghost Kitchen
Picturing an uber “gig economy” job where you’re paid to engage on carrying apps, meet at the restaurant and sneak out the bathroom for this same effect on the remaining person. 24 hours later they are then prompted by notification to review and tip.
Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
That’s horrible!
Probably a free dating app too. Just another reminder, you are the product.
