Overview

• While road-tripping down Australia’s east coast, Irwin was swarmed by fans at Coffs Harbour’s Jetty Pavilion and accidentally left without paying for his takeaway salad.
• In a candid Instagram video, the wildlife conservationist apologized for the oversight and offered to pay, only for staff to ask him for a positive review instead.
• Irwin leveraged his 7.6 million Instagram followers by urging them to support the local cafe and boost its online presence.
• The Jetty Pavilion publicly thanked him for the visit and shout-out, saying there was no stress over the missed payment and even hinting at naming a salad in his honor.
• Irwin remains on his journey but plans to return to Coffs Harbour to settle the bill in person, as the eatery enjoys increased attention and new followers.
