A South Carolina restaurant owner is facing intense public backlash after a viral video captured him publicly berating a couple who disputed a menu item—despite ultimately paying their bill in full.
Christopher Phipil Wallman Jr., owner of The Grill in South Carolina, thought his customers, a bi-racial couple, were refusing to pay their $137 tab, and instead of resolving the matter privately, he instead raised his voice hoping to make an example out of them.
“I want everybody to hear this now,” Wallman Jr. declared. “This lovely couple $137 worth of food for the 35 minutes they’ve been here and they are refusing to pay.”
