On October 4, Karina visited the "Gustav" restaurant with a friend. At the entrance, the pair was greeted by restaurant manager K.V., who courteously escorted them to their table. Some time later, in the restaurant's restroom, Karina noticed that it was being secretly filmed: a recording phone had been hidden on the sink shelf. The pair determined that the phone belonged to restaurant manager K.V.
Karina shared the details on the "Hetq" program.
Today, October 7, Interior Ministry spokesperson Narek Sargsyan stated that documents have been drawn up regarding this incident, and a report on the apparent crime has been submitted to the Investigative Committee.
What happened at the "Gustav" restaurant goes beyond the scope of an ordinary service incident. This is not about poor service or substandard food, but about the fact that a hidden recording device was discovered in a customer's personal space—the restroom—whose owner, according to the couple, was the very manager serving them. This is a serious accusation, and its legality or illegality will be determined by the investigation, not by public discussion.
What is noteworthy is something else: the Interior Ministry sent the report to the Investigative Committee only three days later. This means the incident did not remain merely a topic of discussion on social networks or in the media, but received an official course. Many questions remain: whether the materials on the device have been preserved, whether such incidents have occurred before, and whether the restaurant will bear responsibility for its employee's actions.
Until we get answers to these questions, the practical lesson for the reader is one: vigilance regarding one's own safety in private areas of public places is never excessive. And for businesses, this story shows that trust built over years can be destroyed by a single act of a single employee.
