Customer scammed

An “aggressive” waitress who offered free drinks to customers was called out after she proceeded to increase her tip without authorization. 

Sunny, a TikToker, posted a video to the platform that has since accrued over 80,000 views, explaining the events of her weekend. 

“I got scammed by a waitress this past weekend so let me tell you what happened,” she begins. “It was at an all-you-can-eat seafood boil buffet.”

She told viewers that this was her third time visiting the restaurant, and on the first two occasions, the server made a “speech,” about comping customers’ drinks. 

The waitress let them know that she hadn’t charged them for their last beverage, and in return, asked if they would be able to give her that money as a tip.

“This girl is very aggressive, like she’s very entitled to the money as if it’s hers, and it already belongs in her pocket. I just need to give it to her,” she says. 

“So I kind of felt pressured to do it because I didn’t ask you to not charge me for the beverages but whatever. So me and my girlfriend go this past weekend and I could not believe that we got the same exact server. I swear to God I started chuckling to myself with this.”

Sunny proceeded to call up the restaurant, where she reported the waitress for her behavior. 

TikTok can’t believe “aggressive” waitress

After the video was posted on the platform, people couldn’t believe the server’s behavior. 

“I’m sorry but who straight up asks for a bigger tip?” one viewer asked. 

Some thought Sunny should have taken action sooner, writing: “You accepted it twice without telling the restaurant, (but even) the first time was wrong.”

It appears as though Sunny wasn’t the only one to come across this kind of incident: “The owner needs to get her arrested for fraud. A friend did that and got caught adjusting cc receipts. She spent a few years in prison for it,” one shared.

“Years and years ago at Pizza Hut, the server did the same thing w/my group of older adults. We drank a lot of beer and tipped her big time!” another wrote.

As tipping culture continues to be a hot topic on TikTok, another server went viral, when they told customers ‘serve yourselves’ after they said they wouldn’t be tipping.
