The visitors complained to her that they had very little money, as they were refugees from Ukraine. But the waitress did not take this into account and said in a rude manner that Ukrainians are not liked in the restaurant. After that, the manager intervened in the resulting verbal conflict, who demanded that the women leave the restaurant.

The women took a table and went to the restroom. After that, the waitress repeatedly approached them to take their order.

However, Ukrainian women, in his words, did not order anything, but complained a lot about poverty and the fact that they were refugees from Ukraine. Then they went to the exit of the establishment, and that's when the administrator reminded them of the rules, asking if they would order or not. At that moment, one of the Ukrainians took out her smartphone and started writing a bad review about the restaurant in a mobile application.

In a conversation with the TV channel, he apologized, noting that he was nervous from the arrogance of the visitors and acted, succumbing to emotions.
