A TikToker says that the workers at Shogun, a Japanese restaurant in Huntsville, Ala., locked them in the restaurant after a member of their party didn’t pay.
TikTok user @myhoneysmacks posted the video on Jan. 28. As of Jan. 31, the video has reached over 228,000 views.
The 40-second video starts with footage of one of the workers playing a drum for the TikToker’s table. The footage then changes to a clip of a different worker confronting the TikToker and her friends.
“They locked me in the restaurant cuz somebody at the bday dinner didn’t pay,” @myhoneysmacks wrote in a text overlay.
