With the world glued to social media, exciting new careers are now an option and being a social media Influencer is certainly one of them. Remember Jiff the cute doggo influencer who earns ₹12 Lakh? Or perhaps you recall the Chinese blogger who was attacked by a live octopus she tried to eat. Well, people often turn to influencers to know their honest opinions on beauty, fashion, food or even a product or service. But not everyone can handle the instant fame garnered via social media and Ranu Mondal’s recent encounter with a fan is proof.
An unnamed ‘Instagram influencer’ decided to give a restaurant a one-star rating even though their food was ‘the best’, reports News18. She did so because the restaurant denied giving her discount even after she told them she will post the review on her Instagram where she had over ’11 thousand followers.’

The review was first posted on Reddit.
CB Yelper is mad because restaurant didn’t give them free meal in exchange for potential IG exposure from ChoosingBeggars
This is what it read.
Her review was shared online and people on the internet weren’t pleased by it. Some business owners even took to Twitter to point out how this influencer culture was becoming an added liability for their businesses.
Self-importance is a disease & there is an epidemic among a younger generstion.

It always has been, but the smart phone and internet have magnified its effects. I have a business and was balled out by an entitled someone for not offering a way of accessing a rival's service!

I’m an “influencer” and I have to say this is NOT how this works. Not at all. This is entitlement.

I read a one star review recently that said, "I haven't actually been inside, but I catch the bus nearby. I heard it's overpriced, so I'm giving them one star.". SMH

With that self-entitled attitude eh I wouldn't trust any review you published.

If my kid ever says she wants to be an ‘influencer’ I’m putting her back where she came from. Yeah you heard me

So I guess every compliment this person gives is actually a 'quid' expecting a 'quo?'

So basically she wanted to brag about her instagram account and was offended that she didn’t get the film star treatment! 😂

Isn’t it a shame that this influencer used her popularity to defame a business? What do you think of her act? Tell us.
