Celebrities are known to shut down popular restaurants for a night in order to throw private events. This 27-year-old nobody seemed to think she could do the same thing despite having next to no money in her pocket.

In some ways, you have to admire this lady's audacity. She really thought she could convince her older brother's girlfriend to make magic happen for her despite offering nothing in return. For context, the girlfriend, who shared this story online, was a chef at a popular restaurant in town. There was absolutely no way the owner would turn away business and lose money so that a 27-year-old could have the party of her dreams on a Saturday night.

The author tried to explain this to her partner's little sister, but this girl would not take no for an answer. For me, the funniest part of it all is that the sister has literally nothing going for her in her argument. Again, she had nothing to offer in return, not even very much kindness to the author. Plus, it's not even like turning 27 is an especially big deal. If the sister wants to shut down a popular restaurant for her 27th birthday, imagine what she would want for her 30th. An entire cruise? 

Good luck to the family members out there who have to deal with the sister's audacity and entitlement day in and day out. Here's hoping that the author's partner steps up to the plate, too. His girlfriend should not have to be put in such an uncomfortable position. If he can't stand up to his own sister, how dare he expect the author to do that?! Let's be real. This failure to communicate also does not bode well for the author's relationship with her partner (not just with his sister)!

  • "[Am I wrong] for refusing to let my boyfriend’s sister use my restaurant job to throw a free party?"

  • I'm 33 and I work as a chef at a restaurant. It's not my place, I'm just part of the kitchen staff, but I've worked really hard to get to where I am. The job is strict, if I mess around or try to take advantage, I could lose everything I've built.

  • My boyfriend's sister is 27. She came to me yesterday saying she wanted to throw a surprise birthday party for her boyfriend this weekend. Instead of booking somewhere, she basically told. me we could use my restaurant since I work there. On top of that, she assumed I could get the food covered because it's my workplace.

  • I told her that's not possible. The restaurant doesn't belong to me, and if she wants to host something there, she'd have to book and pay like everyone else. She didn't like that answer saying it wouldn't really cost the restaurant much and that I should be able to sort it out.

  • When I stood firm, she got angry and accused me of not helping family. She said I probably get free food all the time anyway and that I was just being stingy. Perplexed, the only free food we get is one staff meal per shift. Anything else has to be paid for. If I tried to sneak food out, that would be theft, plain and simple.

  • I explained this, but she didn't want to hear, said I was making things more difficult than they needed to be and accused me of acting selfish and above family because of my job. She ended up leaving upset and now she's telling everyone that I ruined her plans for her boyfriend.

  • Her brother.. my boyfriend on his opinion thinks that I should've found some kind of compromise, but I don't see what compromise there is. If I give. in, I could lose my job. AITAH?

  • imf4rds 1h ago What kind of compromise? I have to do private dining for my job and it costs thousands of dollars to book a room, have a menu and etc. Not to mention service fees. She is 27 and should understand how things in the real world work.

  • If your work has a private dining brochure, provide that and ask them how they they think you'd get a fee this high covered for her completely free. The delusion is strong with these dummies. NTA
