Waitress Missed out on a Tip Due To Kitchen Delay; Here’s How Netizens Reacted
In a recent TikTok video, a waitress expressed her frustration after receiving no tip from a customer, attributing the situation to a lengthy wait for food prepared by the kitchen staff. The waitress who works at Ojos Locos Sports Cantina shared her experience on the company's TikTok account, @ojoslocosportscantina. In the video, she performed a lip-sync to a line from the movie "Rio," mimicking a tearful expression as she mouthed, "Please It’s not your fault," a poignant scene from the children's film.
In a lighthearted TikTok clip, the waitress playfully gestures toward the chef and exclaims, "You're right, it's not my fault, it's your fault." The caption accompanying the video highlights a common frustration experienced by service industry workers: "When I get tipped $0 but the kitchen took 1hr to make 3 tacos." Despite the humorous tone of the video, it carries a serious message about the importance of tipping. Service workers rely on tips to supplement their income, especially when faced with lengthy kitchen wait times that can impact their earnings. The clip underscores the need for customers to consider tipping as part of their dining experience.
