Store Owner "Review Deletion Request... Filed Complaint with Police"
A customer who posted a photo of their lower body in a food delivery review has sparked controversy. The business owner is considering reporting it as sexual harassment.
On the internet community for small business owners and self-employed individuals called ‘Apeunikka Sajangida’ (Because It Hurts, I'm a Boss), a post titled ‘I'm thinking of reporting sexual harassment after seeing a review, am I being too sensitive?’ was published.
A, who introduced themselves as running a chicken restaurant, asked, “Is it strange that I feel disgusted after seeing the review?” and attached a photo along with the statement, “I’m going to report it to the police tomorrow.”
The photo shows a person presumed to be male sitting on a chair with their pants pulled up and legs crossed.
The rating was 2 out of 5 stars, and the review text said, “Jal moreugessemyeo” (I’m not sure), with two ‘merong’ emoticons attached.
A expressed anger, saying, “I was so shocked by the photo that I didn’t even notice the rating,” and “Considering they even used emoticons, it’s clearly harassment.”
They added, “I requested the platform to delete the review,” and “I went to the police station to file a complaint. Even if there is no punishment, I will do whatever I can.”
Netizens who received the report criticized, saying, “I wish I hadn’t seen it,” and “What is that doing in a restaurant review that everyone sees?” Some suggested, “It might be better to delete it and forget about it rather than reacting emotionally,” and “The owner might just end up more exhausted.”
