A server’s clip went viral on TikTok after doing a skit about customers who expect servers to know their “usual” order.
The video was uploaded by TikTok user Faith Bryant (@faithbryant6770) who posts job-related content. This time, she did a skit where she portrayed both the server and the customer. She kicked off the video by introducing herself as the server but is then cut off by the customer.
“I will have a water with four lemons and I’ll just get my usual,” the customer said. The server told the customer that she didn’t know what the “usual” was since she was new. This prompted the server and the customer to argue back and forth, the server asking what the customer wants to order and the customer refusing to let her know.
As a result, this led the customer to demand a new server. After the argument, the server asked the host if there were any other servers available. However, the host (also played by Bryant) responded that every server had “a full section.” To add insult to injury, the server had to be the one to inform the customer that no other servers could take her order.
