A woman’s monologue as a server late for work has gained traction on TikTok. The video had drawn more than 2 million views and 200,000 likes as of publication. In the video, she acted out a scene between a server and a manager.

TikTok creator @floofydoofyy shared a hypothetical scenario about a late server who had informed her manager about the delay.

The scene began with the lead server confronting a server for being 30 minutes late. The individual apologized and said the manager on duty, ‘Chris,’ was informed of the delay. But apparently, there was a lack of communication from the manager’s side.

She told the lead server that Chris's failure to pass along the message was not her responsibility and that she had followed protocol and had also dropped a text on the official chat group, informing folks about her delay.

The conversation quickly escalated to the reason for being 30 minutes late during a dinner rush. She acknowledged the lead server's frustration but maintained she had fulfilled her responsibility.

This sparked a more heated discussion between them, resulting in the lead server threatening a write-up and calling the late employee’s actions “crazy.” The server snapped, saying, “You have no authority to talk to me like that.” 

She pointed out that they were merely coworkers and didn’t have the authority required to talk to her that way and suggested they not talk for the rest of the shift. Their altercation ended with the coworker suggesting they sort it out after Chris arrived.

TikTok Divided Over Woman’s Monologue Between Servers 

The video divided viewers in the comments. They shared their varied insights into the situation in the comments. While one half sided with the server, the other half were either neutral or sided with the lead server. 

Some users believe the server did her due diligence and informed the concerned person. They noted, “She let the manager know; that’s her responsibility.” Similarly, others claimed, “Nobody is entitled to your personal business.”

Others thought the lead server had the authority to ask those questions as a colleague. One such user mentioned, “That information was relayed to people who have the right to ask these questions.” 

The comments were flooded with similar arguments over who was truly right in the situation. But the content creator did share a second part on her TikTok account, in which she acted out Chris’s significance to the story.

This article is based on a TikTok video shared by @floofydoofyy depicting a fictional workplace scenario. The events and characters described are not presented as real.
