A server shares the no-brainer questions that guests ask her at work. One couple’s response to her offer of an outside seat makes viewers shake their heads in disbelief.
In a video with over 122,000 views, TikToker Frida (@fridafridayyyy) says that she doesn’t believe there are “no stupid questions” after working in the restaurant industry. She shares several bizarre interactions that she had during her last six-hour shift.
What ‘stupid questions’ did guests ask the server?
“When asked, ‘Do you want to sit outside?’ they said, ‘Are there bugs outside?'” she recounts, squinting her eyes in confusion. “Bugs do live outside,” she responds.
She says she seated another table in the shade on the patio of the restaurant. They ask her, “I know we’re seated in the shade but is the sun going to move?”
The TikToker shows a stunned reaction to the obvious question.
“The sun does do that. The sun does move,” she says.
However, she says the last interaction of her shift was her “favorite.”
“We weren’t that busy, so this couple asked to be seated kind of away from people, which is fine,” she says. “And then they said, ‘If you guys get busy, you’re still not going to seat anybody next to us, right?'”
She says she was shocked by the request and told the couple that she had to fill the empty tables if it got busy.
“If you wanted somewhere more private, maybe take it to go. I don’t know what to tell you,” she jokes.
The caption reads, “Let’s just think before we speak maybe…”
How did other servers react to her customer interactions?
In the comments section, other servers say that the TikToker’s experience is common. They share the weird questions their own guests have asked them.
“My fav is ‘is it hot outside’ Like uhh did you just not walk in the door from the outside!?!” one says.
“‘Does the cheeseburger come with cheese’ COMPLETELY SERIOUS,” another writes.
“Today this guy came in and said he had an order to go I asked him wha he order so I could go check if his order was ready. He looked at me straight in the eye and said ‘food.’ I was waiting for him to laugh or something and he told me ‘well are you going to go check on my order?’ I then said sir I need to know what u order. Then he rolled his eyes and cuss me out saying he didn’t know what he ordered,” a third server shares.
“Saturday, a server had to cancel the filet her table ordered because he thought it was fish & he didn’t eat meat,” a fourth adds.
