Do you think influencer culture has gotten out of hand? Nowadays, it seems that any good-looking person with a large following on social media thinks they deserve special treatment for being a “celebrity.”

A TikToker and bartender named Michelle (@michellebellexo) is sharing a story about an incident that happened a few months ago involving an entitled social media influencer who demanded free drinks.

So two girls had walked into the bar at around 4:30 PM. The bar had opened thirty minutes ago, and there was only one other person inside.

Michelle noted that the girls were very pretty. They wanted to start a tab but refused to give Michelle a card to pay for their drinks because hardly anyone was in the bar at all.

Michelle informed them that it was their policy. After giving her a little bit of attitude, the girls finally handed over a card.

Then, they went outside and started taking pictures in front of the building, which Michelle paid no mind to. They entered the bar again to order another drink, heading back outside afterward.

Forty-five minutes later, they decided to leave. But they stopped Michelle before she could run their card and charge them for the drinks.

They told Michelle they didn’t think they should have to pay for the drinks. Confused, Michelle asked if there had been anything wrong with the drinks, which seemed unlikely since the girls had consumed every drop.

Then, one of the girls bragged that she had a large social media following on Instagram and that she would tag the bar in her posts.

Her logic was that she would be giving the bar more online exposure and increasing business, so she deserved to have free drinks.

Michelle was flabbergasted because she paid for all her own drinks at the bar even though she worked there. Plus, she has 3.7 million followers on TikTok and has never used that fact to beg for free stuff from businesses.

Rather than telling the girl no outright, Michelle congratulated her and asked how many followers she had. The girl proudly declared she had 30,000 followers and that the bar would never get recognition without her help.

Michelle questioned the girl if she had ever heard of a bartender on TikTok named Michelle, referring to herself. The girl responded that she didn’t have TikTok.

So Michelle pulled up her page, showed it to the girl, and watched her eyes widen. The girl was speechless once she realized it was Michelle’s TikTok.

In the caption, Michelle revealed that the girl changed her tune after that and ended up paying for her drinks, even tipping 20 percent.

She definitely changed her tune after that and they did pay and also tipped 20%, but since when do people with a following demand free things whereever they go? #bartenderstories
