“Do you know I’m a very, very, very viral social media influencer?”

The footage shows the woman arguing with employees after a server repeatedly addresses her as “ma’am.” She objected to the term and accused staff of being disrespectful, while the manager pushed back, telling her she was the one behaving rudely.

At one point, the woman tells the manager she has been recording the interaction and calls him “one of the nastiest managers” she has ever encountered.

The confrontation quickly spilled onto X, where users overwhelmingly defended the restaurant employees and criticized the woman’s behavior.

“CUSTOMERS ARE NOT ALWAYS RIGHT coming from the manager is absolutely fing AMAZING! I am so fing happy to hear that come out of a manager’s mouth!” one user wrote.

Another commented, “She should have trespassed this loudmouth [expletive] as soon as she stormed in acting a fool.”

A third user suggested the incident may have begun before the camera started rolling, writing, “Sounds to me like a place where you’re supposed to wait to be seated and she took her own initiative probably cutting in line causing a problem for the whole store.”

Others focused on the influencer’s repeated insistence that she wasn’t doing anything wrong.

“Towards the end she states, ‘I don’t complain for nothin’.’ Yet that is all she ever does in every video,” one viewer wrote. Another added, “She’s really good at making everyone hate her and still not get what she wanted. Olympic level talent.”

Some commenters praised the manager for standing firm instead of apologizing to appease a difficult customer. “Good on this manager. He wasn’t having any of her crap,” one person wrote.

Another user, who said they had worked in the service industry for years, commented, “I’d bet that she was fishing for a free drink or meal and got pissed when it didn’t work.”

The restaurant, Robinson Ale House, had not publicly commented on the incident as of publication.
