Diner tells customer to go f**k themselves on Facebook

What's the worst way of getting return customers for a restaurant? That's right - waging a campaign against them on Facebook and telling them to 'hide and go f**k themselves'.

One BBQ diner in the US took particular exception to a customer who paid $40 for her meal but didn't leave a tip. Boner's BBQ (hehe) restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia, was so aggrieved by the lack of a tip for their waitress that they promptly went on Facebook and bad-mouthed her.

The unsuspecting customer in question, Stephanie S., was shocked to find her picture accompanying the slur on her name from the diner.

Strong words there, but they may not just be about the fact she didn't leave a tip. It appears Stephanie also left a negative review about Boner's BBQ on the opinions website, Yelp.

She said: "The food was tepid. The flavours odd to bland and the atmosphere a bit lacklustre. The fact that they were playing talk radio when we came in and the fact that the decor is second hand picnic-y could be excused if the food was really good. The short: It wasn't."

Boner's quickly suffered a backlash and removed its post. But it was too late, they had already caught the imagination of some of their Facebook friends and their entire page had turned fairly nasty against Stephanie.

The restaurant has since issued an apology to Stephanie:

Moral of the story... don't tell your customers to 'hide and go f**k themselves'! It's not a good idea, apparently.
