“Next Time, Please Invite Me”: Woman Gives UK Restaurant Staff Hell for Food Served, SA in Stitches

• A South African woman in the UK caused a stir after walking out of a restaurant without paying
• The funny video, posted to TikTok, showed her confronting the restaurant staff about serving bad-tasting food even though she finished it
• Social media users were in stitches, shocked seeing her in action, with many saying they were following her for the chaos she causes

A bold woman left UK restaurant staff astonished when she ate a meal, refused to pay, and calmly walked out.

The moment posted by @ukthanos on TikTok had people laughing, shaking their heads, and thanking her for entertaining them.

The woman confronts the restaurant employees

After finishing her food, the waiter brought @ukthanos the bill. She asked what the bill was for and demanded that he take it to the restaurant manager. She criticised the restaurant, saying they buy food from Aldi and overcharge. The waiter tried to explain the rules, but she stood firm.

Another employee stepped in, but @ukthanos whipped out multiple bank cards and said the money wasn't an issue; the food, however, wasn't edible. She said she only ate to avoid offending the chef, then confidently stood up and left, saying she’d show them exactly how she wasn't paying.

SA reacts to the lady's cheeky video

Social media users flooded the comments section, sharing how entertained they were, and filled the feed with humour. Many said they wished they had her confidence, while others sympathised with the poor waiter in the drama.

Some joked that the second staff member didn’t stand a chance against her. Others, said jokingly, she needed to come home to Mzansi because she was embarrassing the whole country in the UK.

Complaining at a restaurant

On May 28, the woman from the viral restaurant incident posted another TikTok clip addressing the online backlash. She responded to commenters asking her to apologise for how she treated the staff, saying:

"I actually encourage you to call TGI Friday in Bristol and find out the truth. Go ahead, ask them how nicely I was to their staff... You guys think you can intimidate me with social media, honestly? Do you think you have changed any sequence of events in my day because you're on social media writing paragraphs, calling me a pig, calling me a bum, calling me a tractor..."

According to Eater, if you're not satisfied with your meal at a restaurant, it's best to address the issue calmly and politely. Start by informing your waiter or waitress about what’s wrong with the dish. This allows them to resolve the issue. Stay respectful and avoid confrontation. If the problem persists, you can ask to speak with the manager. Constructive feedback often leads to a better resolution.
