A server recently gained online attention after sharing a humorous post on TikTok, highlighting a customer’s audacious act of taking unfinished glasses of wine from another diner’s table. The video, created by TikToker Stephanie Carlisle, depicts her playing both the customer and the server. As the customer, she spots an unfinished wine glass on a neighbouring table and decides to take a sip. When she switches roles to the server, she confronts the customer about the stolen wine, pointing out the potential health risks and etiquettes breached.
The video sparked a discussion among viewers, with some sharing their own experiences of witnessing similar behaviour in restaurants. While some argue that taking leftover food or drink can prevent waste, the general consensus is that it’s a breach of social norms and can pose health risks.
