Two days after publishing the Night ‘n Day sauce debacle, Flynn told Critic Te Arohi that his $300 fine had been revoked. “Obviously it’s great the manager [Matt Lane] revoked the fine,” but “it’s a shame the police and media had to be involved before this could happen,” said Flynn.
Flynn was adamant that he would’ve taken the matter to court had it not been for the resolution. “I didn’t feel comfortable paying them such an extortionate fine over an honest misunderstanding,” said Flynn. Plus, since he put the sauce back upon being stopped by the security guard, Flynn didn’t even get to eat the sauce that started this whole thing.
However, the legal standing of the trespass notice that accompanied the fine is slightly more contentious. Although this isn’t of much concern anymore for Flynn, who said “I’m not interested in ever going back to a Night ‘n Day,” to which manager Matt Lane allegedly responded via phone call, “Right, okay”.
Flynn advises anyone in a similar situation to himself to “be honest and cooperate” while also “standing up for yourself” and reaching out for support. Incidentally, this was the advice his mum gave him. So Critic Te Arohi advises reaching out to Flynn’s mum if you ever find yourself between a rock and a 90c packet of sauce.
