Despite being open to feedback, Chayen emphasized that destructive behavior is unacceptable and posed a threat to employees' safety.

A staff member, Ann, detailed that the customer first asked a waiter to taste the rice and insisted on saying it was not good, even after offering a tip.

The customer left 2,000 baht before departing.
