My family has a restaurant on a Greek island. We receive dozens of messages like these every year:

"I'm an influencer, can I come and eat in exchange for posting a photo of your restaurant on instagram?"

For the last 3 years I have been responding with the following:

“thank you very much, however our restaurant has a policy. We charge every influencer who wants to eat here normally, however we offer food of equal value to people in need instead."

NO ONE has ever accepted to come under this condition. That is, to pay for his food even if I will then offer free food of the same value to people in need. Most of they time they don't even reply and some even delete their original message.

Dear influencers: You are just making a fool out of yourselves by trying to create a fake cosmopolitan lifestyle based on begging.
