A diner was left shocked after receiving a message from a restaurant’s facebook account telling her to ‘f**k off’ after she complained to them.
Jennifer Bennett, 31, was annoyed when she found the Lusitano, in Chorlton, Manchester, was closed even though she had already booked a table using a Groupon voucher.
When she got home she decided to write the following message on the eatery’s Facebook account: ‘Had a table booked for Friday at 7:30, turned up and you were closed?!
‘I’ve emailed you about it and still awaiting a response and there’s no answer when I call!
‘After spending £6.50 on a taxi to Chorlton we (her husband was with her) ended up having to eat elsewhere so it was not the cheap night out we had hoped for!’

But rather than being met with apologies she was apparently abused.
‘Just f*** off lady,’ Lusitano apparently wrote in response.
Jennifer has forwarded her complaints to Groupon, but has yet to hear anything back.
She added: ‘I just want to point out, I’m not angry about the restaurant being closed or the £12 I spent on Groupon, obviously if they’ve gone out of business that’s really unfortunate.’
Lusitano Restaurant has been contacted for a comment.
Update: The owner of Lusitano claims the offensive message was posted by an ex-employee who left the eatery on bad terms.
‘It’s really sad. It was not the restaurant or the owner,’ a spokesman told Manchester Evening News.
‘We are trying to find out who did it.
‘Several members of staff have left over the last month and they knew the Facebook password.
‘Someone did this behind our backs. We didn’t know about this.
‘We only realised this afternoon. He was so shocked. We will investigate this.
‘The owner wants to find the person who made the booking and compensate her for any damage.’
