Waitress says she got fired after wearing an ‘inappropriate’ top – and now the restaurant is being trolled

A restaurant has been inundated with scathing online reviews after a woman claimed she had been fired from her job there after dressing “inappropriately.”

TikTok user Vanessa Zavala, 22, posted an emotional video which showed her sobbing in her car and saying she’d just been sent home “because they didn’t like my top”.

She told viewers: "I work at this bar-restaurant club thing where b****es will show up there in f***ing corsets, lingerie tops to work.

“But MY shirt, my long-sleeve crop top shirt is f***ing ‘ugly’ and ‘inappropriate’. What sense does that make?”

The offending item was apparently a long-sleeved black crop top.

In a follow-up video, Zavala said she had gone into work the following day only to be called in by the manager and sacked.

She explained that she was not fired for her choice of attire, but for posting her complaint about the fall-out on social media.

“They said because of my TikTok and [because] someone commented the name of the restaurant underneath I’m fired,” she said.

Zavala was indignant that she should be penalised for “expressing how she felt” despite not having named the restaurant in her original clip.

However, after losing her job, she said she no longer cared, explicitly giving its name and telling viewers that they should “do with that what you will.”

“I’m kidding,” she swiftly added, before confirming that was going to “make a scene online” and “write so many bad reviews.”

In a third clip, she included a screen grab of a string of one-star critiques on the restaurant’s Google page, writing: “The besties got me.”

One read: “So disappointed in Bisou to let their best employee go over something so minor. Food is terribly overpriced and not worth it. I would not recommend.”

The TikToker eventually told followers to stop posting bad reviews so she ‘wouldn’t be sued’ @vaneskinnylegnd/TikTok

Separately her followers confirmed they had added to the negative review stream and were keeping tabs on the business.

One wrote: “They restricted their comments on Insta!”, while another said: “They’re deleting all the bad reviews on Google but [I don’t care]. I’m going to keep commenting, hehe, WE GOT YOU.”

Another had to point out that some people were writing about the wrong restaurant. “Y’all it’s Bisou DALLAS [Texas] not the Houston one,” they said.

Other TikTokers were more critical of Zavala’s approach.

“You can’t involve your job on social media or vent about it, unfortunately, if you want to keep it…” one said.

Another warned: “They can sue you based on this TikTok because you caused all these people to leave reviews that aren’t real.”

And a third said: “You won’t get hired somewhere else with this going around.”
