You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain.
A cliched phrase in its own right, and yet it rings true in so many cases…
Such as this one.
Though with all due respect, I’ve no idea when the hero phase (in this case) ended, or whether it even spawned in the first place.
Man So Comfortable Relaxing At Paya Lebar Restaurant He Shouted At Staff Angrily When Asked To Leave After Eating
On 3 September 2020, Facebook user Allan Tang posted an update on his Facebook page.
According to the post, a customer had kicked up a fuss in a restaurant, after being told by a staff member that the 40-minute time limit was up.
He also tried to leave the outlet without paying, on the grounds that the payment method was apparently ‘online-based’.
Which, as it turns out, wasn’t.
According to Tang, the problematic customer in question had been using a two-person table, even though he was dining alone.
He also sat past the 40-minute time limit, which was allegedly displayed on a sign outside the restaurant.
When one of the staff went to inform him that the time limit was up, the customer supposedly raised his voice and claimed that he wasn’t informed of the time limit beforehand.
Even when another staff member stepped in, he persisted in shouting or ranting at her.
At this point, Tang expressed how he failed to “take it anymore”. Turning around, he told the customer that there’s a sign outside the restaurant that tells the time limit.
The customer, however, did not respond.
“He carried on shouting, “Nobody told me about the 40-minute time limit!”,” Tang wrote. “To which I shouted back ‘BULLSHIT!!'”
And it seems that the customer finally heard him, though the subsequent response was kind of… unexpected.
“Think this time he heard me. He finally took his backpack, mumbled don’t know what *** ****, and left the restaurant, without paying!”
Online Payment Is A Thing… Right?
Naturally, the staff asked him to return and make payment.
The customer, however, seemed to be utterly nonplussed.
“I thought is pay online!?” he shouted.
Which all but set off the already triggered Tang.
“Wah you think your father or grandfather restaurant ah?” he wrote. “I know the ordering system is online, but not paying online after finishing the meal and leaving the restaurant. No restaurant in the country does that as far as I know.”
After that, the customer finally went back to pay. While at it, he allegedly took his handphone and took a picture of the staff members…
A notion which prompted Tang to do the same.
“You guys could probably guess what his intentions are. So I decided to do the same and took a picture of this f***er.
“Don’t worry Yakiniku Like Singapore, I’ve got your back!”
To end off, Tang commended all the staff members involved, and preached his decades-long belief that “Customers Are Not Always Right”.
“Treat all service staffs with respect!” he wrote. “They are not your dogs or servants.
“Kthxbai.”

Why He Posted It Online
After Mr Tang’s post went viral, with a whopping 2.4K shares to date, many Netizens praised the Facebook user for “doing the right thing”.
“It is such a blessing to see someone like you exist!” commented one user. “I am now a proud waiter to be serving people like you.”
However, not all comments were complimentary. One Netizen, in particular, questioned the intent of Mr Tang’s post.
“This situation is over and solved, but the purpose to take a photo of him? To make him famous?”
And though Tang had specified his reason in the original Facebook post, he decided to tell Stomp about it in detail.
“Feeling a deep sense of justice, I wanted to deter the man from having any thoughts of trying to fabricate his ‘bad’ dining experience there on social media or to the management of Yakiniku Like in the form of a lengthy e-mail, when he was the one spoiling the dining experience of fellow diners there with his behaviour.
“As far as I’m concerned, I’ve done exactly what needs to be done. This case is over and I would like to move on from here.
“I was just merely helping protect the staff there with a factual account of what really happened that day, as well as to clear them of any wrongdoings. I guess it really worked with the thousands of shares on Facebook.”
Well, whichever’s the case, you can’t deny that Tang’s involvement helped loads in the matter. Though at the same time…
We can only hope that the patron will get back on the right route before he takes the whole introductory notion to an all-new level.
