He Likes it Cheap

As is common practice in the industry, make-believe love angles between two stars are encouraged by their management network to draw more interest from the public. This has always been part of the package aimed at those who are being groomed to be paired as love teams. Generally, in the name of stardom, stars swallow this system – hook, line and sinker.

Presumptuous Actor PA for example, will do everything in his power to attain his dream status in the industry, even at the risk of great discomfort. He had done many a “gimmick” in the past to prove his point, but more often than not, it comes off as fake in the eyes of the public.

One day, PA reportedly planned a “scripted” date with a Friendly Partner FP. Source labeled it as scripted because a romantic-comedy (romcom) project for the love team is in the offing. Indeed, PA had to work harder to hint of a serious relationship with FP. And so PA booked their dinner at a Fancy Restaurant FR and reserved a private room for him and FP. Dinner went well as the two of them have always been comfortable with each other.

Then came the bill. PA was dumbfounded when he saw the figures, almost double of what he expected! He found it too much for him to pay. Furious, he talked to FR manager and said he’s not paying the amount. The manager justified that the beautifully themed private room didn’t come cheap and so the bill was a bit high.

PA insisted that it was the restaurant’s duty to protect the privacy of its celebrity clients from fans and onlookers by providing them rooms for the purpose. At this point, manager pointed out to PA that theirs was a high-end restaurant, patronized only by the well-heeled and not a fast food joint which is open to the general public. Thus PA can be assured that with FR, he can dine in peace and have a good time, and not worry about star struck diners and bothersome fans.

Having said that, the manager reiterated that PA had to pay the full amount. PA’s credit card was swiped the amount including the minimum consumable to make sure he gets charged the without consumable. However, PA demanded that transaction be voided because he wanted to pay cash. But he ended up short, so FP had to chip in. FR manager gave PA full accommodation despite his highfalutin attitude. But all that came with a hefty cost – he got permanently banned from FR.
