Let's face it, we all get a little hangry sometimes. And, when we do, all we can focus on is getting fed as quickly as possible.

Naturally, if we're eating out, the person who eventually serves us that food is nothing short of a hero in our hungry eyes. Let's be honest, we pretty much treat them better than we treat our own family in that moment, right?

Well, evidently not everyone feels that way. Earlier this year, a woman left quite an impression with her particularly bad behavior when she visited Gino’s Cheese Steak & Onion in Fayetteville, New York.

When the woman threw a tantrum and broke one of the restaurant's $200 signs, she probably didn't realize what an online presence the business had. With more than 24k followers on Facebook, Gino's has a loyal fan base and many glowing reviews.

People love the food at Gino's, and they love the staff just as much. So, it's a rarity for the restaurant to have an unhappy customer, let alone one so obnoxious.

Judging by her behavior, the woman was looking for attention so that's precisely what the restaurant gave her when they posted about her on their Facebook page. Not only did the sandwich shop shame the customer but also named her for the whole world to see.

"We're looking for Rebecca Clark," the post read. And after mentioning the damaged sign they added, "We're trying to find a home or business address to send the bill."

Whether this woman was having an especially bad day, or perhaps she was particularly hangry we will never know. But either way, swearing at staff and vandalizing the store's property was not okay.

People who work in food service have to put up with rude and entitled customers daily and are often treated terribly. So, please be kind when you're enjoying (or not enjoying) a meal in a restaurant - the person serving you might have had to serve a Karen like this woman before you!

"Public Service Announcement."

"Rebecca Clark threw an absolute hissy fit."

Shame, shame, shame!

"Everyone at the bar was laughing at her."

"Anyone know this lunatic?"

Finally, the restaurant posted a photo of Rebecca's abandoned sandwich.

Yummmm!

Here's how people reacted.

Fred will have it!

What a "mean lady."

OMG, it's Rebecca Clark!... Never mind.

Entitled people everywhere.

That's a "good looking" sandwich.

We see what you did there, Nathan!

But, for as many supportive comments the restaurant received, many people also disagreed with their retaliation.

"Inappropriate."

This seems to happen a lot.

"Highly unprofessional."

"You never know what a person is going through."

We can't help but wonder if the real Rebecca Clark ever came forward to apologize and, well, pay that bill. What's your take on this situation?

Do you think the restaurant was entitled to name and shame Rebecca, or were they being a bit too harsh with their post? Let us know in the comment section below.
