An influencer has caused a lot of outrage after mocking a man who couldn't afford an item from the Chili's menu, saying the man's date should "run".
Going out on a first date is a terrifying experience. You've got to decide where to go, what to wear, and how not to let the nerves get the better of you so you don't say something stupid.
Adding to that, dating can be a tough experience for those who have limited funds as everybody wants to treat their potential partner to the best night ever, so it can be a big dent in one's pride if that isn't possible.
That being said, being short of money should never be a reason that stops somebody from finding love, and it definitely shouldn't result in somebody mocking you.
TikTok user Messie Cee did exactly that as the influencer filmed a man who appeared to be on a date with a woman at Chili's and began tearing into him for not being able to afford one of the items from the menu.
"We in Chili’s me and my crew and them on the side of me," Cee began. "She wanted to order something. Her man said you can’t get that I don’t have enough money for that.
"Ain’t no motherf***ing way my husband would take me to Chili’s and I can’t get whatever the f*** I want. This ain’t even Ruth Chris (Steakhouse). This is Chili’s, everything is $18 and under. So I’m mad with him, I’m definitely mad with him."
What makes it even worse, is that the couple is sitting just a few feet away and Cee isn't exactly being discreet while making these remarks.
"She needs to run. If he can’t buy you Chili’s — they got 2-for-20 here — you need to leave," he concluded the video, before deeming it acceptable to publish.
The influencer - who has over 120,000 Instagram followers - couldn't have been prepared for what happened next, as the comments ripped into him just as he ripped into the poor man trying his best on a date.
"This video says more about you, than it does them," one person said, while a second added: "Omg look at the body language they completely heard him I’m in tears right now unbelievably cruel."
A third person added: "You gone be humbled one day…remember this moment," while others agreed that the TikToker was way out of line.
At the time of writing, the video has been viewed over 620,000 times but has only received 9,700 likes, with the outraged comments directed at Cee gaining many more than the video.
We hope the two people managed to enjoy their meal, regardless of the judgment of others.
