Food fight!
A confrontation between a couple and a food influencer outside a San Francisco coffee shop has gone viral after the content creator posted a video of the spat online this week.
On Tuesday afternoon, food influencer Allie Tong was filming a video outside the Wrecking Ball Coffee when a man and women nearby began getting irritated.
According to Tong, an older man started muttering “you guys are so f—king stupid” at her assistant, to which Tong walked back to the man and asked what he said.
He repeated his insult, despite Tong stating the she and her assistant were supporting a small local business. That’s when the assistant began filming the couple, “because he was being verbally abusive,” Tong said.
At the beginning of the video, the camera panned over to a couple drinking their coffee, when the woman suddenly lunged at the assistant to seemingly knock the camera away.
“Don’t touch me!” “What’s wrong with you?” the two can be heard exchanging.
The woman then started marching toward the assistant, who began walking backward with a coffee in hand.
“I was just filming because he was making us feel uncomfortable,” the assistant can be heard trying to explain to the furious woman. “Get off of me,” the assistant said repeatedly.
“Take that recording and delete it,” the woman demanded.
Later, the woman can be seen with the assistant’s sunglasses as the couple appeared to leave the scene. The man then uttered another insult as while walking by.
“You want this?” the angry woman tauneds before leaving with the glasses. “Call the police. Let’s call the police right now.”
The clip garnered tens of thousands of views, and Wrecking Ball swiftly banned the couple from the coffee shop.
“Wrecking Ball has always been committed to providing a safe, friendly and welcoming environment for everyone and we take that responsibility very seriously,” Wrecking Ball Coffee co-owner Joey Cannata told the San Francisco Chronicle.
In a Wednesday update, Tong said the assistant did get her sunglasses back because the lady eventually threw them on the ground.
The San Francisco Police Department confirmed to the Chronicle that a police report was filed but no arrest has been made.
The couple has not been publicly identified.
