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
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
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.
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.
Damn that restaurant has every angle of this thing figured out
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 😬
To be fair, it's also fraud.
Good luck taking them to court, they don’t even show up for their dates
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.
You'd almost be saying the restaurant is haunted with the amount of ghosting that happens.
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.
I’d say, do coffee. Cheaper, and easier to leave when any party decides the date is over.

You can just meet outside the restaurant.
You just don’t go in before you meet them outside the front door.
Hell, it can even be a chivalry test to see if he holds the door for you.
Bugger that, I'm not loitering outside the door like that, I'd rather be inside.
They usually have a spot by the entrance set aside for waiting for the rest of your group.
This is really turning up the “companies/corporations are people” shit to 11.
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.
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

Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
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.
That's horrible!
There's an episode of Catfish that has this. A lady is setting people up to eat at her restaurant lmao
