Isang pangit na karanasan ang ibinahagi ng kilalang Filipino chef na si Chef Myke Sarthou, a.k.a. Chef Tatung, sa kanyang Facebook account nitong July 7, 2024.
Si Chef Tatung ay isa ring social-media influencer, writer, culinary heritage advocate, at restaurant owner.
Sa isa sa mga restaurants na pagmamay-ari niya, binastos siya ng apat na magkakasamang customers.
Hindi na nga raw sila nagbayad, nagpamalas pa ang grupo ng kagaspangan ng ugali.
Pagdedetalye ng chef sa kanyang FB post (published as is), “A group 4 had lunch at one of my restos.
“They were a fuzzy bunch from the onset.
“They made an issue out of everything: house music, the gender neutral cr, the service, the food, the drinks.”
Bukod sa pamemerwisyo sa kanyang staff, naabala rin umano ang iba pang customers.
“We always try to do our best all the time and accomodate all requests when reasonable.
“But they verbally attacked our staff. They drag my name into the conversation (kilala daw nila ako) and said not-so-nice things for other guests to hear. Really sad.
“Then walkout without paying.”
Pagtatapos ni Tatung, “Every now and then we encounter these type of people.
“Have a blessed sunday everyone.”

Sa comments section ng post, binanggit ni Tatung na nakunan ng CCTV ang grupo. Nakuha na rin ang kanilang pagkakakilanlan.
“We have names and cctv. Pero thats not the point naman. Kakalungkot lang need pa mang bastos,” mensahe niya.
Follow up comment pa, “I just saw the cctv footage. They had a leisurely lunch, staying close to an hour in the resto, even ordered additional rice.
“Waiters checked on them every few minutes without any commotion until it was time to pay. I really don't understand what was going on in their heads.”

Ilang netizens naman ang nagsabing "feeling entitled" ang grupo.
Pero mas marami ang may hinalang taktika nila ang panggugulo para takbuhan ang kanilang babayaran.
May mga netizens na nagbahagi ng katulad na insidente na nangyari sa ibang establishments.
Karamihan sa kanila ay kumbinsidong isa itong modus, at wala talagang balak magbayad ang grupo.
