A Texas Roadhouse server asked several of his fellow co-workers about their “craziest” customer experiences in a viral TikTok.
The video was uploaded by TikTok user Colin Snider (@colinsnider25) who typically posts content about his job at Texas Roadhouse. In this video, he first asked a server named Sarie about her craziest customer experience. The most bizarre experience she says she had was when one table “tried to steal the tip off of” her previous table because she “didn’t have time to grab it.” Sarie says this led to the owner interfering where he “had to threaten to call the cops on them.” The customers’ ended up returning the tip but she says she ended up having to serve them still and how they “stiffed” her whenever they left.
Another server shares the time a couple came in and how when serving them their food, she says she accidentally almost hit her hand on his baked potato. According to the server, the wife called one of the managers and accused the waitress of “flirting with her husband.”
Snider then shares his own experience, recounting the time a table he was serving asked to get a different server.
“They wouldn’t let me wait on them because I was gay,” he says.
Perhaps one of the most shocking experiences is that of server Jenna, who claims a customer actually hit her in the face with a Medium Rare steak because he “wanted his steak Medium Well.”
The last two ‘craziest’ experiences from other servers involved chasing teenage boys into the parking lot for stealing boxes of peanuts, and dealing with a lady who accused the server of not liking cancer patients because she wouldn’t put her sweet tea in a glass.
