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”.
It really says a lot of 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 feel like in this case just say lemmings lol
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.
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?
Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
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.
This is really turning up the “companies/corporations are people” shit to 11.
This was thankfully debunked as fake
Damn that restaurant has every angle of this thing figured out

I looked for the post, I couldn’t find it but there was evidence that she made it up for clout
You ain’t getting outta here without spilling some of that evidence
You heard the lady. Cough up.
Seems like they are outta here… without spilling any evidence :(

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.
I once had a train run on me by JP Morgan, Goldman and Sachs, and Blackrock.
there was probably some profit to be made, they’d totally do that. it’s not like they would be held accountable
Hell yeah brother
Why? I believe you.
Hah gotem.
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.
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
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.
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.
They usually have a spot by the entrance set aside for waiting for the rest of your group.
Once I went on a date with someone, we were both perfectly reasonable and polite, and we both felt zero chemistry midway through the date and ended it early. It was the best terrible date I’ve ever had.
Genuine question - do people seriously have dates in restaurants? I’m 32 and never have I ever been asked on a date in a restaurant. Cafe, sure. But a full on meal with a person? I literally don’t know anyone who went on a first/early date in a restaurant. I assumed that’s a 90s thing that was nowadays only taking place in movies and sitcoms.
I did. Restaurants, movies, parks… I don’t recommend movies. We met, got to the theatre, watched the movie, but we didn’t actually talk, because, well, movie. How do you call that big sidewalk alongside a beach? That was awesome. Long walk just talking and listening.

Esplanade?
And yeah I agree just a long walk’n’talk where you don’t have to constantly look at the other person is kind of the best to get to know someone.
And ffs movies… I had one first date at the movies and this was really awful. Especially since afterwards we drove home (not together). Like, what was that even?
The only way it works is if you go have drinks afterwards and heatedly discuss the movie. But for this you have to meet a cinemaholic and the movie has to have been at least not neutral. Maybe still better on a second or third date than first.
Maybe I’ve never been to a restaurant because I effectively stopped dating at 24 and before that I just wasn’t in the age group that could afford restaurants?
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.
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.
I’d say, do coffee. Cheaper, and easier to leave when any party decides the date is over.
coffee instead of a free dinner? put that on your profile and see how many hits you get. I’ll give you a hint, it starts with a decimal place.
Such a sad state of dating. You think it would start with interest in the person rather than interest in a meal.
bitches be hungry
If you’re not getting a date, I guarantee you, the word “coffee” in your profile is not the reason.
I’ve always done coffee for first dates, from dating apps, or otherwise. It’s a great, relaxed atmosphere for getting to know someone. You can go for a walk, or chill in the cafe, then, if things are going well, and you both want to go further, you can get a meal after. The last woman I did this with, five years ago, is now my fiancée
I’m no golden rule and I assure you, coffee date is on my profile. 1-2 dates a week. I’ve also had coffee… then some lunch… then dinner. All about connecting and not being a dumbass. No one wants to be trapped on a date that isn’t working, coffee or even just breakfast, is the best option.
Women worth dating tend to find coffee much more appealing as a first date than an expensive meal.
Maybe you just have a hard time identifying the women worth dating? Many people do.
They’re also far less likely to be on an app
Exactly. Coffee, ice cream, or something like that. Perfect first date.
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,
What a sad loser
Most TikTokers are.
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.
Leave Jesus out of this. He’s busy cleaning my pool
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.
Probably a free dating app too. Just another reminder, you are the product.
How long till it’ll be automated by AI to increase efficiency?
I hate this timeline.
I know you wanna believe the world is shit, but try to remember that this probably isn’t even real. Don’t get lost in your social media feed. Don’t take curated content as a representative sample of reality. Worst case scenario, someone crafted a story… which is a story older than our timelines themselves.
