The clip sparked mixed reactions, with many saying she was very impolite. Some users felt she could have smiled or clapped to show appreciation. Others speculated that she might have expected a bigger surprise like an engagement and was possibly disappointed when it didn’t happen.

Others felt sorry for their siblings working at restaurants who often deal with impolite customers and suggested that restaurants rethink the singing gesture to protect other people's dignity.
