Entitled Social Media Influencer Blasts Innocent Las Vegas Bar

• A social media influencer went viral for livestreaming himself being asked to leave an airport bar
• The TikToker expected to be eat an outside bagel inside the bar without purchasing a drink
• He called for his server to “lose her job” and invoked a barrage of negative reviews lowering the establishment’s Yelp score

Social media blew up this weekend over an influencer who livestreamed his ejection from a bar at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.

Bagel-gate

Marco Ayala — a Southern California college student who posts on Tiktok under the name of his dessert brand, @marcocookiez — claimed the B Lounge kicked him out just for eating a bagel. But, as a cursory analysis of the video he uploaded on December 12 indicates, he alone sparked “bagel-gate” by bringing outside food into a bar and chowing down without ordering a drink or even bothering to remove his earphones.

“You’re not allowed to eat in here, that’s all,” Ayala’s video shows a female employee informing him. “You have to purchase a beverage at the bar to sit down and eat.”

After more words were exchanged, Ayala sneered into his camera and stated, “Power trip, we’re gone!”

Then he strutted out of the bar, apparently incensed that someone of his algorithmic majesty should be treated to such an indignity by plebians who don’t even recognize him.

“I don’t usually have time to deal with humans like this,” he actually said.

The TikToker’s rudeness is both difficult to watch and riveting, confirming pretty much every bad influencer stereotype that ever existed.

The video received 542K views as of the following evening.

Unjustified Attack

“Karma will get her,” Ayala said of the employee as he stormed through the B gates in Terminal 1, searching for another place to sit and eat his Einstein’s feast.

“The universe is always on my side,” he bragged. “I’m divinely protected.”

Ayala should have lost everyone who was still on his side at the point in his video in which he added: “Look who’s gonna lose her job in a couple of days because I’m gonna do some magic.”

But Ayala’s followers remained loyal, deluging the B Lounge’s Yelp page with 75 scathing single-star reviews. In a couple of hours, these took the establishment’s respectable 2.5-star rating down to 1.5 before Yelp disabled reviewing on the page.

“This lady right here needs to be fired she is rude, and if she is a supervisor yall should be ashamed,” wrote Yelp user Regina C. from Dallas in her review, posting a photo of the employee she isolated from Ayala’s video.

Yelp explained its decision to shut down the bar’s page by stating it was investigating “whether the content you see here reflects actual consumer experiences rather than the recent (news) events.”

Most of the 11K comments left below Ayala’s video supported his tantrum. But other TikTokers posted their own reaction videos, attempting to take his unchecked entitlement down a peg or 2,000.

“You know what I think happened?” asked @deadisnacks in his. “I think … the staff confronted you for loitering and you pulled out your phone, decided to farm 450K likes and get a bunch of people to negatively review the place. And for the people in his comments saying, ‘The staff was rude,’ news flash, buddy, places of business expect you to do business.”
