Woman Who Tried To Fight Staff At Popular Bay Area Restaurant Arrested: Report

Strava terminated Shireen Afkari after her public intoxication arrest at Hazie's during Santacon weekend, highlighting challenges faced by hospitality workers, police said.

  • On Saturday night at Hazie's in Hayes Valley, video posted on TikTok showed Shireen Afkari in an altercation with staff, and the San Francisco Police Department arrested her for public intoxication.
  • The on-duty manager at Hazie's said he cut off the couple because they had already had too much alcohol, which set Afkari off and sparked the confrontation during Santacon weekend.
  • Footage captures her slapping a phone and being restrained, with bartender Michael Marchese saying `She was quite enraged` as staff and bystanders tried to diffuse the situation.
  • This past Monday, Strava said it was aware of an employee who exhibited extremely concerning off-hours behavior and that this did not reflect its standards; TMZ and other media outlets reported the employee was fired.
  • The incident highlighted how service industry employees routinely face abuse, including slurs and physical assaults, while viral video culture brings quick public shaming and employment fallout, echoing the 'Karen' video phenomenon of 2020.
