Woman says date dashed after she slurped down 48 oysters, sparking debate

Social media is in an uproar debating whether a woman who says a date invited her out for drinks was in the right to order almost 50 oysters, some potatoes and crabcakes, in addition to multiple drinks for which he apparently later skipped out on paying.
The woman, who goes by Equana on social media, chose Fontaine's Oyster Bar in Atlanta as the location for their first date because she "was coming anyway" and it has "the best oysters in Atlanta," she says in the video with 5 million views on TikTok and 28 million on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Equana also says in the video that the date had been texting her "for weeks talking to himself" and she agreed to see him because she "was bored" and "had time." Plus, the oysters are only $15 a dozen on Tuesdays, so Equana ordered four dozen (that's 48 oysters). She also ordered some potatoes and crabcakes.
Equana says her date excused himself before the bill came and never returned. The date's explanation via text was that he invited her "out for drinks" and she "ordered all that food," according to a screenshot Equana showed in the video of what she says is their exchange after she texted him asking why he left early without paying. He offered to send her money for just the drinks.
