There was a great divide among viewers in the comments section, with many understanding Nino's frustration while others not so much.
One user commented, “And then they tip 10%.”
Another user commented, “No, it’s really torture and they always order appetizers, desserts, and extra everything.”
“It should be planned to accommodate guests that come in even one minute before close because hours of operations are for guests, not staff,” a viewer said.
One user wrote, “I’ve had 16 people come in five minutes before we closed.”
Another viewer wrote, “Key words, 'close in 45 minutes' you’re off time isn’t in 45 minutes…the sad thing is how many people think this same way and why we have no work force.”
The Daily Dot reached out to Nino via comment on his TikTok video where he gave more context on the situation and establishment.
Nino explained that he works at a local restaurant that has been around since 1970 and claims they are understaffed with only one cook that cooks for 10 or more people all day, every day. He added that weekends are their busiest times, with a full house and people still waiting outside to be seated.
The establishment currently has three servers, one cook, and two dishwashers trying to run the place , Nino says, and customers will pop off with attitudes to the point where the restaurant has to kick them or blacklist them. He also stated how the tipping situation can go for him.
“People will tip, if they do, five bucks on a $50 plus ticket," Nino said. "It happens everyday."
