A frustrated waitress recently went viral for venting about a refund fraud method that she said has become the norm.
The restaurant worker, who goes by @girlypopzonly on TikTok, said the grift began after she served two entrées and two drinks to a couple.
In a TikTok video recorded from the eatery’s kitchen, the waitress recalled that she got an unpleasant reaction when she checked on the pair.
“The girl’s like, ‘This [burger] is nasty, I don’t want it,’” the waitress said in a video that got over 54,000 likes.
“Mind you, the burger’s half-eaten. All the fries are gone. So she gives me half [of] our burger back.”
She added, “I’m like, ‘You know what? That’s fine. She liked the fries.’ So I take it back. Take it off the bill.”
When the waitress politely asked her if she’d like anything else, the female customer said she wanted the shrimp pasta that the male customer was enjoying.
The waitress agreed, brought back the new dish and checked back in on the pair – and got another complaint, this time from the male customer.
“They paid 20 bucks in total, and they ate seven different meals.”
“And then the guy’s like, ‘I don’t like my shrimp pasta,’” the waitress said.
“Mind you, the shrimp pasta’s half gone. There’s three noodles on the [expletive] plate. And I’m, like, ‘Oh, that’s weird, but OK.’ I’m going to obviously take it off the bill.”
And then – making the story even more interesting – the female customer complained about her mostly-eaten shrimp pasta.
She vented, “I’m like, ‘OK, that’s weird. This is, like, the seventh plate you guys have ordered.’ They’ve returned every single plate, but they ate almost all of it. This is not a buffet, by the way.”
The waitress complied — and the manager also took the last dish off the bill.
“They’re sitting there laughing at me every time I pass by,” the TikTok creator said. “They paid, like, 20 bucks in total, and they ate seven different meals.”
Others were firm that eaten food should never be refunded.
“Nothing should have been taken off the bill,” one person wrote.
Overall, a majority of commenters disapproved of the waitress being put into the situation and said the restaurant’s manager should have been more involved.
“That’s your manager’s fault,” someone wrote.
“My manager would’ve had a field day with them,” another commenter said.
