This was already debunked awhile ago. it's bullshit. no restaurant, regardless of how poorly they're doing, is going to go through all this work to maybe, just mabye, get $50 out of them.

If it were true, you might buy there once, but it will always leave a bitter taste. So not sure if it would be good advertising if you never go there again.

I wonder if it's really that much work. Especially if they're cat fishing dudes mostly.

Also, once the media gets ahold of the story, your business is sunk.

I also definitely would not eat there. I don’t know why it’s assumed that you would eat dinner there after being stood up. I’d be sad and I’d want to be alone, at absolute most I’d get takeout, but there’s probably a greasier takeout that I want, but have been restraining myself from. I’d very much prefer tacos/falafel to a date restaurant meal if I’ve just been stood up.
