A restaurant server on TikTok is going viral after sharing a story about a customer who refused to disclose his food allergies, telling her he wouldn’t share medical information with“someone like you.”The video, posted under @kellybrooke.m, has pulled in 2.6 million views. The couple reportedly seated themselves, waved her over while she was carrying dirty dishes, and barely spoke all meal. She also says the man wrote“there you go”on the check alongside a 15% tip, which she felt implied she was trying to squeeze money out of them.
Asking about allergies isn’t nosy, it’s basic restaurant protocol. The kitchen needs to know so they can prepare food safely. Most people just say“blueberries”or“shellfish”and move on with their lives. The internet ran with the story immediately, with servers and diners alike trading reactions in the comments.
The Daily Dot couldn’t independently verify the details, so this one lives in the realm of viral storytelling, but the reaction says a lot about how frustrating customer interactions spread online. What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever heard from a customer or a server? Drop it in the comments.
