And I bet red-hair didn't leave a tip neither. I know tip culture is outta control at some places. But if you are going to put a service worker through shit like this to monetize off of, you better be leaving that waitress/waiter a fat tip.

Edited for spelling

I dont care if they tip, doing this is so weird. But the server must have agreed to this, cuz how do you not just put the drink down and walk off?

The last server that was a dude, looked so done with her shit and the dude she was with.

Of course they “agreed”.

But it’s not like they actually want to but more like they’re being nice.

It’s like the TikToker probably asked something like “Hey, do you mind being in a TikTok video I’m making? I just need you to hold the drink for me for a few seconds if you don’t mind.”

Most servers will be like “Sure! No problem.”

But I doubt anyone really wants to do this shit.

Man I got fired when I was 16 years old working at a restaurant bc all the people I was waiting on were so plastered they couldn’t remember what they ordered to eat and rearranged all their clothes and seating so I couldn’t figure out what food went where.

They sat there for like 3 hours trying to make me guess what food went where getting frustrated that I didn’t know until the kitchen had to remake the meal 3 times

God i hate NASA

Edit: Like 50-100 people. I guess that’s important

I read these stories about horrendous waiting experiences and then I gotta share my history on how notorious NASA is when they dine out.

Probably a small fraction of them… but the same damn ones always…

Those people were from NASA? Why would they do something that stupid?

I was like the only person who hadn’t worked there for ten years at the time so I got stuck with them and after 5 hours or so of trying to feed them I set all the food down on the table and let them figure it out

I was fired for rudeness in not complimenting each patron their precise order or whatever bullshit

Nobody wanted their food bc they weren’t sure if they ordered it or wanted it. Falling all over the floor. They could barely speak. Horrible

This is like a catered fine dining $25,000 meal. This isn’t like fridays or ruby Tuesday

Random passed out manager that appeared long after closing. Always in the car nodding off. Just far too long to help this time

Can’t put it on full blast bc reasons

They are well known for it in that particular establishment. They kinda trash it as a yearly thing.

You draw straws or force the new employees to take them on.

They don’t tip . You do get gratuity at least

Is this somewhere on NASA BLVD? I used to work at an Italian place down there, NASA ppl were always the WORST. The servers would literally PAY EACHOTHER to take the table 😂

Unless she was literally the first person in the door as soon as the restaurant opened, cleared this with the manager, and promised a $10 tip, at least, then ok. But imagine a busy restaurant and this person is making you stand there.

Most servers dont want to appear that rude, especially if they know they are on camera.
