I
wish
I
could
leave
a
positive
review
of
this
place.
Unfortunately,
I
had
a
strange
interaction
with
the
owner.
I
used
to
go
in
regularly
and
began
speaking
to
the
owner.
Ironically,
to
the
situation,
we
talked
the
most
about
my
difficulty
with
a
freelance
client
who
would
not
pay.
The
owner
gave
me
advice
about
my
ongoing
situation,
and
we
began
interacting
regularly.
Eventually,
our
interactions
turned
into
the
owner
entertaining
the
idea
of
having
me
help
with
Bampot
events.
I
was
apprehensive
and
offered
to
do
some
small
services
before
committing
to
work.
We
decided
I
would
make
a
Bampot
events
package
for
free
in
exchange
for
me
working
in
Bampot
for
free.
The
owner
also
offered
me
free
food
and
beverages
during
this
time
–
this
was
not
a
requirement
of
mine.
It
was
freely
offered
by
the
owner
and
staff.
This
arrangement
occurred
from
December
through
January.
Eventually,
the
owner
wanted
my
help
putting
together
Valentine's
Day
promotional
material
for
their
social
media.
They
offered
me
a
percentage
of
table
reservations
for
the
evening,
and
I
accepted.
This
was
all
verbal.
I
shared
all
the
promo
images
with
them.
They
have
since
been
removed
from
the
Bampot
page
but
still
exist
on
the
pages
of
the
participating
vendors.
Due
to
ongoing
health
issues,
I
was
unable
to
effectively
do
more
promotions
for
Valentine's
Day.
The
owner
had
and
used
my
social
media
designs.
I
did
not
do
reels,
etc.,
though
I
have
the
footage
I
took
for
them.
As
a
result,
I
wasn't
sure
where
our
agreement
stood.
After
the
Valentine's
Day
event,
the
owner
reached
out
to
me
offering
to
pay
me.
I
was
sick
at
the
time,
so
I
requested
an
e-transfer.
The
owner
then
ghosted
me.
I
asked
them
a
few
times
for
an
explanation
but
haven't
heard
anything
back.
I
really
like
aspects
of
Bampot
and
the
ideals
the
business
represents.
However,
I
find
it
so
strange
that
an
establishment
that
proudly
announces
its
committment
to
fair
pay
would
offer
and
then
retract
their
offer
without
explanation.
If
you
are
a
vendor
or
considering
working
with
them,
please
be
careful
and
think
twice.
I'd
say
more,
but
I
will
leave
it
at
just
because
a
place
claims
certain
ideals
does
not
mean
they
practice
them.
Business
is
business.
