The owners of Hollywood Thai Restaurant said in response to slower business they decided to take up a “mega influencer” on his offer and pay him to promote their place, but he ended up taking advantage of the small business, the message on Instagram read. It started when Christian Garcia reached out to the shop and offered to make a reel about the business for $575, the restaurant’s social media manager told LATaco.com.
The restaurant told Garcia they could not afford his price - that’s when they say he offered to do it for only $500. They said they paid the influencer, with 1.6 million followers, and comped his meal, but after several delays followed by numerous attempts to reach him, the Thai restaurant said it was clear Garcia took the money and free meal and left them the holding the tab.
One can only hope that news of this eat-and-run shit spreads to his followers and they all migrate to some place a bit more reputable. 1.6 million followers?
Fuck, I don't have half that number...
