A Michigan server was left taken aback after a customer took one of her jokes too far. In a video that has amassed 17,400 views, Kendall (@kendall.mix.ologist) began by explaining how she was joking with a regular customer who owns restaurants.
“And I was like, ‘Aha, I understand you’re opening up another restaurant, but I can’t wait to be somebody’s hot wife one day,'” she recounted. “Obviously, that’s something that I say all the time, but it’s like, just a joke.”
Another customer overheard this exchange and told Kendall he “loved” her joke. “And I was like, ‘Yeah, hopefully in like, three months, I’m retired from this,’ all jokes,” she added.
The joke was stolen
This happened a couple of weeks ago. But things got weird when the TikToker was recently pulled aside and told that the man was retelling the story as if she were “interviewing for the position of his hot wife.”
“The man wasn’t even [expletive] part of the conversation,” she said. “He was just in the same room … but he pretended like he was the guy that I was chatting with, and like, I’m trying to be his hot wife.”
Addressing him directly, Kendall added, “Sir, no. Also, what the [expletive] is wrong with you? And you couldn’t even pay your tab last week. And now you think that I want to be your hot wife. You can’t afford me. Insane.”
Ironically, the comments section was full of users who were judging Kendall’s appearance. Others were trying to appeal to her by asking to be her husband or a regular customer.

This is all too common when being a server
In general, women in the service industry get a lot of unwanted attention from men. Another example of this comes from bartender Kaylee Silva (@kaylee.silva).
In a viral TikTok, she recounts how a man tried to get her to give him his number despite her already having a girlfriend. But things got worse when she caught a glimpse of the man’s lock screen and saw that it consisted of him kissing, in the arms of another woman. “That’s a whole girlfriend!” she said. “Guys, help me find the girlfriend!”
Kendall didn’t immediately respond to The Mary Sue’s request for comment via TikTok comment.
