Cannoli Scandal
On 21st Jan 2021, Cannoli received a lot of criticism for making fun of the manager. Cannoli owners names Dia and Uzma made a video mocking at restaurant manager for not having a command of English. The scenario was that Uzma and Dia started making a video, and at its start, they said we are getting bore, so let’s have some fun and introduce our staff.
They called their manager and asked him to talk in English, who struggled to say some words, and after listening to this, they started criticizing him and accused him of wasting money that owners pay for English courses of their staff. Those owners didn’t limit themselves to make videos only and uploaded the video on the social media platform.
This act shook the social media users, and they flooded the social media sites with criticism of Uzma and Dia. Twitter users started a trend #BoycottCannoli urging Pakistanis to boycott this restaurant. Public but also media stars also severely criticized them, stating that English is not a scale to measure intelligence and ability.
Statement by Management of Cannoli Lahore
In response to the social media criticism, the administration at Cannoli Lahore stated that Cannoli Lahore and Cannoli Islamabad are two different bodies and are not related to each other in any way. And they wouldn’t own any mistake made by Cannoli Islamabad owners. But no one knows the authenticity of this statement.
Apology by Cannoli Owners
After receiving severe criticism from Pakistanis, restaurant owners apologized to the public, stating that they never meant to humiliate their staff. Their employees are working with them for a decade, and they don’t feel any need to portray themselves as kind and cooperative owners, but the public didn’t accept this apology and started making memes on that. After this incident, the restaurant closed for a few days.
