It appears that people were sharpening their knives for Zachary Quinto’s roasting, long before news broke this weekend that the “Star Trek” actor had been banned from a Toronto restaurant for allegedly berating staff and storming off when his weekend brunch plans were disrupted. People certainly couldn’t wait to pounce on Quinto for being “a terrible customer” at Manita, a Toronto-based Mediterranean-style restaurant. Soon after Manita accused Quinto of yelling at staffers “like an entitled child” in a June 2 Instagram Story post, the actor’s own Instagram account was filled with angry comments and demands that he apologize.
It’s almost as if Quito’s alleged bad behavior at Manita confirmed some yet-to-surface rumor that the actor, best known for playing the unemotional but reasonable and logical Mr. Spock, is really a difficult person to work with or to be around. “The way someone treats staff (at restaurants) and others is usually a great way to see someone’s true character.
Apparently yours is pretty crappy!” one person wrote to Quinto on a post he shared last week that showed a video of him playing banjo. This person’s comment, calling Quinto “crappy,” received nearly 1,000 likes. Quinto’s visit to Manita apparently happened the same weekend that he was celebrating his 47th birthday in Toronto, where he is filming “Brilliant Minds,” a new NBC medical drama, the Los Angeles Times reported .
Whatever was going on with Quinto at Manita.
