A Toronto restaurant has accused Zachary Quinto of demeaning staff and making them cry
"Mr. Quinto, take your bad vibes somewhere else..."
The inside of Manita. Right: Zachary Quinto.
A popular Toronto restaurant has publically called out Zachary Quinto for his alleged behaviour and has asked him to take his "bad vibes" elsewhere.
On Sunday, June 2, the Ossington hotspot Manita posted on their Instagram story about the situation.
“Zachary Quinto - an amazing Spock, but a terrible customer," said the message. “Yelled at staff like an entitled child after he didn’t reply to two texts to inform him his table was ready and refused to believe the empty tables in the dining room weren’t available for him despite being politely informed they were spoken for."
“Made our host cry and the rest of our brunch diners uncomfortable," the message continued. "Mr. Quinto, take your bad vibes somewhere else, we have many lovely celebrities join us at Manita, but you are NOT one of them."
On June 3, the restaurant doubled down on their message, sharing a post with the content of the Instagram story.
"To expand upon yesterday’s story re: Zachary Quinto: This isn’t the first time, nor will it be the last time an irate guest has taken their frustrations out on our staff," they wrote. "Manita is deeply grateful for our mostly incredible, friendly, gracious guests... who may give us constructive feedback from time to time."
"To all the other Zachary Quintos out there, on behalf of restaurant workers everywhere: We aren’t above criticism, but we are above being demeaned."
Quinto has not commented on the accusation from Manita.
On his Instagram story, he thanked Canada's Wonderland for "an incredible birthday adventure" and shared a video of what appears to be the ride Drop Zone.
