After publicly criticising a UK restaurant for turning down a complimentary meal in exchange for promotion, a social media influencer created a stir. The UK restaurant Lucky Ramen and Sushi replied in jest, jokingly referring to the influencer as a “blue tick superstar” and putting out the mocking remark that “exposure surely pays the bills!”
The restaurant then released the influencer’s incensed response, in which they claimed that influencers ought to receive complimentary meals and that the restaurant shouldn’t have “outed” them. The influencer said, “We go where we want, eat what we want and lastly – it’s all for free! WHOS LAUGHING NOW???”

The restaurant further vented her frustration towards the restaurant, writing, “I think you’re bang out of order. HOW DARE you try and expose us like that??? So you think people like us don’t deserve to eat for FREE??? ”
The influencer went on to say that they give the restaurant free, valuable promotions in exchange for a free meal for their time and labor. “Just in case you didn’t realise, we are doing our best to help and promote you for FREEEE!!! We don’t expect much, just a free meal to compensate our time, labour, effort, and positive energy that we are supplying you.”
“The fact that you wanna expose us influencers like that, we will not be coming by anytime soon to support. Your food looks good and we heard it’s a great busy vibe, hence trying to support. But your arrogance makes me sick. Haha very funny, you got a couple of giggles, but we’re the ones who are laughing.”
“We go where we want, eat what we want and lastly – it’s all for free! WHOS LAUGHING NOW??? ‘.”

The restaurant replied with a cheeky message, “We’re now rolling out the red carpet for all the free meals you desire,” they wrote. “And that’s not all – our chefs are ready to part ways with their Crocs and Birkenstocks, throwing them in as a bonus for your tender love and labour! “.
“Even my dad’s medal of honour from the Japan war is up for grabs – he’s feeling generous the old geezer, and he’s even contemplating wheeling in his new eco-friendly hybrid wheelchair for you! “.
The eatery added: “Bon appetit + Arigato-the-f*ck-outta-here. Team LUCKY (unfluencer + no blue tick).”
