A teacher, students, and parents who went to a café in Gaziosmanpaşa were expelled by the owner on the grounds of "low orders." Following the shared footage of the incident, the teams inspecting the establishment sealed the café. A neighboring shopkeeper stated, "A reservation for 20 people is made, but 40 people show up. No one would do such a thing out of the blue. He is not the kind of person who would ever do something like that."
In Gaziosmanpaşa, teachers, students, and parents gathered for Teacher's Day on November 24, and allegedly were expelled by the business owner on the grounds of 'low orders'. A person who recorded the moments with a mobile phone shared the footage on social media. Following the publication of the videos, teams inspecting the business sealed the café.
A group consisting of teachers, students, and parents went to a café in Gaziosmanpaşa for Teacher's Day on November 24. Allegedly, after the initial orders were placed, the business owner reacted to customers who sat for a long time and asked them to leave. A dispute arose between the business owner and the group. The business owner, who expelled his customers by saying, 'This place is mine, I am kicking you out too,' was recorded by a teacher with a mobile phone. After the footage, in which the business owner was heard saying, 'No matter who you complain to,' was shared on social media, teams that went to the café yesterday afternoon sealed the establishment.
"NOBODY DOES SUCH A THING OUT OF THE BLUE"
Mihrinur Kartal, a tradesman who is the neighbor of the business owner, said, "We are both very old neighbors, we have known each other for years, and our shops are opposite each other, so we are neighbors as tradesmen. It is a place we actively visit as a family. He is a person we know very well. Normally, he is a very calm person. As a business, nobody easily tells someone, 'Stop, get out, I don't want you!' After all, money is made from the people who come. Some people need to come and eat and drink to buy something. There must be a lot going on behind the scenes. Nobody does such a thing out of the blue. He is not a person who would do such a thing at all," he said.
"A RESERVATION FOR 20 PEOPLE IS MADE, 40 PEOPLE COME"
Kartal, who stated that he was not there on the day of the incident, said, "The shop was open on the day of the incident, but I was not here. I had a few jobs and could not come. Later, I saw it from other tradesmen and the news. What everyone said was, 'The women suddenly went crazy for no reason.' Because a reservation is made for 20 people, 40 people come. On top of that, there are extra children. Since the place is already a more bohemian, boutique café style, it is not a place that can accommodate 50-60 people. Even so, you sit, drink tea and coffee, and are hosted very nicely. In the end, the lady starts to complain and say she doesn't like it. When the other customers get uncomfortable, Mr. Sait rightly says, 'Could you please step outside?' Then you see in the video, the video is constantly cut, but brother Sait directly says, 'You can film me, but there are many people sitting inside the place. Other customers may not want to be filmed, they may not want to be seen,'" he expressed.
"ONE OF THE PARENTS WHO CAME THERE CUT AND SHARED THE FOOTAGE"
Kartal stated that the shared video was cut and shared, saying, "One of the parents who came there cut and shared the footage, and the video is not complete. What everyone said is, 'We didn't fully understand, something happened, but we couldn't understand at that moment.' Later, there were neighbors sitting here, and they came and told the tradesman. There are already a few gentlemen intervening in the video, and all of them are people who are sitting here, people you can see when you come here during the day. They also tried to intervene, but the lady did not accept it in any way," he said.
"RECONCILIATION BEFORE THE VIDEO WAS SHARED"
Mihrinur Kartal said, "Before the video was shared, brother Sait talked to both that teacher and the parent. The situation was resolved and they reconciled, but despite this, the video continued to be shared. I think the lady did it somewhat knowingly," he said.
THE BUSINESS WAS SEALED
Kartal stated that the municipal teams came in the afternoon, saying, "The municipal teams came in the afternoon. A conversation lasting half an hour to an hour took place. After that, the place was sealed. But let me say this, if he were as angry or rude as portrayed in the video, he would have caused trouble for the municipal teams that came. He calmly tidied up his place, closed it, and left," he said.
