Not many people are aware of the quirky ways some restaurants celebrate birthdays, from clapping waitstaff to over-the-top desserts. In one such moment, a woman captured her aunt's comically unimpressed reaction to a waitress serving her a treat.

A suspicious surprise

TikTok user Mankurwane Glendah Senyolo uploaded a video on the social media platform showing how her aunt reacted to receiving a bowl of ice cream with sparklers, which is usually given to someone celebrating their birthday.

At first, Mankurwane's rakgadi thought the waitress wanted to burn her with the sparklers, which resulted in her checking the Spur employee. After someone informed her what the sparklers were for, the aunt's frown quickly turned upside down and into laughter.

Watch the TikTok video below:

Celebrating a birthday at Spur

A former Spur employee told Briefly News that Spur employees don't check any documentation to see if someone is celebrating their birthday.

"If someone says it's their birthday, we sing for them. When customers finish eating their food, we prepare the ice cream and sparklers and gather everyone to sing."

With the above said, it seems anyone can claim it to be their birthday.
