A bartender reviews her receipts at the end of the night to figure out how much patrons tipped her. She calls out one guest for an inappropriate attempt to hit on her.
In a video with over 53,000 views, TikToker Gabriella Masseran (@gabriellamasseran) stands behind the bar, holding one crinkled receipt.
“Here’s what we’re not going to do: come in here and stalk me and then write, ‘I’d rather tip you a dinner,'” she says, reading a note one man left on his receipt.
She insists that she’d rather take the $2 tip on the beer he purchased at the bar.
“I’d much rather have $2 to go towards my Starbucks,” she says.
Masseran says the man also ordered a Shirley Temple and “pretended to talk to [her] security guard” while staring at her for four hours.
What do other bartenders think about the receipt message?
In the comments, many male viewers joke about the bartender’s response to the receipt. However, other service workers say harassment is a real issue at their workplace.
According to a 2014 survey by ROC United that was reported by Eater, up to 90% of women restaurant workers report being harassed by customers while on the job.
“I’m also a bartender. I’ve had a few out pocket events this week & It’s only Friday morning…,” one shares.
“I was a delivery driver for nearly 4 years and constantly got dudes not tipping then tryna text me later for a date or whateva,” another says.
“I used to be a manager / bartender at a college town bar / restaurant for about 3 years. We employed plenty of college kids whom were looking for extra spending money while they went to school. The amount of creepy guys (young and old) that did this type of thing to our female servers and bartenders was wild,” a third writes.
What did viewers think of the receipt pick-up line?
Others criticize the man for not leaving a tip if he wanted to hit on the bartender.
“It’s always the ones who don’t tip that leave their number and expect a date,” a commenter remarks.
“One time a girl left her number on a 20 dollar bill. Maybe he should have tried that instead,” another suggests.
“So guys, if you’re gonna shoot your shot. Tip 300% of the bill, then slide in your number and wait. Bunch of amateurs these days,” a third viewer says.
“How is he NOT gonna do the courteous thing then ask you out?? You’re working!” a fourth asks.
