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

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.

No one is claiming a meme needs a source. That reply said it was fake. Maybe true, but again provide a link if it is.

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 😬

To be fair, it’s also fraud.

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?

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,

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.

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.
