Waitress goes viral for quitting job during mid-shift meltdown

A frustrated waitress went viral on TikTok for quitting her job mid-shift, after she had to handle 24 tables and deal with several other issues.

TikToker skunkprincess23 shared her ‘freakout’ in a viral video, which was filmed by her roommate on the day she decided to quit her serving job.

In the clip, the content creator expressed her frustration about being the only server on the staff, having to manage more than 20 tables, and dealing with impatient customers.

“I am never coming back here,” she declared at the end of her meltdown. “I’m standing on business, b*tch! I’m done!” In the caption, the former server added that “The entire staff has quit if you were wondering.”

The video amassed a whopping 8.4 million views, with thousands of TikTok users sharing their sympathies in the comments. “Did you actually quit? I felt this with my soul,” one person wrote, to which the OP replied, “Yes mid shift.” Another added, “This is completely justified and relatable.”

In a follow-up clip, the TikToker offered an explanation of why she and her co-workers quit. They described how the Korean restaurant they worked at had gotten new ownership overnight without the knowledge of the staff.

They also recounted alleged physical altercations, the restaurant running out of all ingredients, several cleanliness issues, and difficulties involving a language barrier among the kitchen staff.

The content creator later shared another update video, in which she revealed that she’s been doing fine since leaving the restaurant. “Everyone’s been asking me, ‘Oh, what have you been doing? What have you been doing? Have you found a new job yet?’” she mentioned.

“You want to know what I’ve been doing? I’ve just been playing the saxophone in my closet. I’m hiding from the situation, you know?” skunkprincess23 said, before showing herself playing the instrument. “Now what am I supposed to do now that all you guys are here?” she asked her new followers in the caption.
