A Hollywood restaurant said that a wannabe influencer stuck them with the tab after they paid the person $500 and even comped his meal in hopes of generating business for the struggling mom-and-pop eatery. The owners of Hollywood Thai Restaurant said in response to slower business they decided to take up a “mega influencer” on his offer and pay him to promote their place, but he ended up taking advantage of the small business, the message on Instagram read. It started when Christian Garcia reached out to the shop and offered to make a reel about the business for $575, the restaurant’s social media manager told LATaco.
