Holly Jones said her evening was ruined by seeing a dead person.

A hair stylist has felt the full force of social media after a bizarre Facebook post complaining about restaurant staff looking after a woman having a heart attack.

Holly Jones had her nose put out of joint when she celebrated New Year's Eve at Kilroy's Bar N' Grill in the US city of Indianapolis.

In a posting on Kilroy's Facebook page Jones said she would never return to the venue for New Year's celebrations.

"After the way we were treated when we spent $700+ and having our meal ruined by watching a dead person being wheeled out from an overdose my night has been ruined!!," she wrote.

"The manager told us someone dying was more important then us being there making us feel like our business didn't matter, but I guess allowing a Junkie in the building to overdose on your property is more important then paying customers who are spending a lot of money!!"

Jones was given her comeuppance by Kilroy's manager Chris Burton who replied saying he was glad to hear she wouldn't be returning "because we wouldn't be wanting someone as cold hearted and nasty as you".

The woman Jones had described as a junkie was actually a "poor lady, who was celebrating New Years Eve with her husband and son".

"Thankfully she was finally revived at hospital," Burton said. The woman was 57-years-old.

Burton's response has received thousands of positive comments from around the world, with many people appalled at Jones' attitude.

Serenity Salon, where Jones works, felt it necessary to distance itself from her, saying Jones' actions did not reflect the salon's views.

Reports said Jones' posting has been deleted from Kilroy's Facebook page but screenshots have spread around social media.

Jones also deleted her Facebook page but before doing so said she had not written the original post. It had been done from her account by someone else and she was very upset about it. She was also asking everyone who saw it to report it so it could be taken down.
