He’s A Server, And He Clapped Back At A Rude Customer Who Tried To Order Alcohol For Her Son
Being a server is an incredibly difficult job. Not only are you constantly rushing around and remembering everyone’s orders, but you must also deal with rude customers who test your patience.
TikToker Dean Redmond (@deanredmonds) is chronicling the story of when he clapped back at a rude customer trying to order alcohol for her son, who didn’t have an ID.
So a mother and her son were sitting at one of Dean’s tables. He approached them to take their drink orders, and the mother ordered two frozen margaritas.
Dean informed her that they did not serve hard alcohol, but he could offer them wine or beer. The mom stood up in a huff and angrily told Dean that they would be going somewhere else.
But ten minutes later, Dean noticed they were back at the same table. He went up to them and jokingly asked if they were unable to find any margaritas.
The mom was outraged and accused Dean of being condescending. Dean backpedaled, saying that he had no intention of offending her.
She settled on ordering two mimosas. As is standard procedure, Dean asked for her son’s ID. Her son whipped out a student identification card.
Dean clarified that he would need to see a driver’s license or a passport with his birthday on it. The mother asserted that it was not necessary. She claimed that she was his mother and that Dean needed to take her word that her son was of age.
Dean reiterated that he would need to see some form of identification; otherwise, the restaurant could lose its liquor license. The mom demanded to speak to a manager, so Dean went to get his manager.

The manager explained that they would not be able to serve her son unless they had proof of identification, essentially repeating what Dean had said.
Dean went to grab their food, but when he returned, he was faced with an unpleasant surprise. The mother and son’s table was covered with the contents of several salt, pepper, and sugar packets. And they had been playing tic-tac-toe in the mess!
He asked the mom to clear away the mess so he could set their food on the table. She responded that she was a paying customer and complained about how ridiculous it was that they couldn’t do what they wanted at their table.
Then, she declared that she knew the restaurant owner. Dean ran to get the owner. When the owner came up to their table, she asked the woman if there was a problem and if they had met before.
The woman’s face turned bright red, and she told the owner she didn’t think they had met before. Later, when Dean delivered her check, she told him his mother would be disappointed in him for ruining their special mother/son outing.
Dean let it drop that his mom was dead, so he wouldn’t know what she would make of this whole situation, but she would probably want him to carry an ID.
The woman just stared at Dean and proceeded to give him a three-dollar tip on a seventy-dollar bill.
