She Went Viral On TikTok For Sharing That She And Her Coworkers Had To Serve A Party Of 91 At A Restaurant
As someone that has worked in a food service job before, I’ve dealt with some of the rudest people while working.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve also met some of the sweetest people while working at my old job. But every once in a while there are those people that are just awful.
Even at the small restaurant that I worked at, we got huge rushes that consisted of upward of 40 people.
Sports teams, baseball tournaments, catering orders, town events, etc. Sometimes all of those things happen at the same time.
I can’t imagine being hit by a rush that had 91 people, and according to the original TikToker, they were still sitting other parties during the same time.
The original video that she shared was just a short 8-second clip of her and her co-workers shaking their heads with audio that repeatedly said “I want to go home” over and over.
The reason for this was because the was a group of 91 coming in.
From looking at the comments, many people shared their shock at that being allowed; just a large group without a reservation.

She responds to many commenters. One that stuck out to me was a response to someone asking how much the people tipped at the end of the night.
“I think it was more than one bill honestly I’m not sure but they did bring back chocolate macadamia nuts for everyone,” she said.
After her comment about the chocolate nuts being given, some people got outraged thinking this was the one compensation the servers got for such large groups.
She then goes on to post another video to explain further.
“Some of ya’ll don’t understand. I’m a host, I don’t get tips. I was the one at the front saying ‘Hi, welcome to …’ So for them to walk up to me at the end and give me a box of chocolates. I was like oh shit. I felt recognized my bad,” she explained.
She also includes that it wasn’t just one server running orders or taking out drinks and food. Everyone including the managers was helping.
She did clarify, as a response to a commenter, about how their restaurant doesn’t take reservations. But that the party did come in relatively early at about 6 with the first 51 people out of the 91.
And they also let the staff know that there were going to be 40 more people that would be joining them.
The guest continued saying that it was a tradition to come to this restaurant after the flag football tournament they were a part of.
My main question while watching these short videos was how did they split up the check?
For a check with, let’s say, 7 people the amount for drinks, food, and tip would be well over $100. So the amount the restaurant made from 91 people must have been a lot.
In the last video she posted about this situation, she goes on to say that she personally never found out how big the bills were or how many times it was split and that she never found out how big the tips were and who got it.
From experience with sports teams coming with no notice to a restaurant that I’ve worked at, I can tell you that some people just don’t believe in tipping.
If you were the hostess or host and you encountered a large party like this how would you react?
Based on all the comments, many people suggested that the people should have done a catering order or at least called ahead to warn them, even if it wasn’t to make a reservation.
