A 22-year-old New York server has come clean about an extravagant lie he claims earned him a generous tip, New York Post reported.
‘I’m going to get such bad karma from lying to this table, but I can’t stop when I’m making so much money,’ the 90-second clip begins.
Dean Redmond reveals in a TikTok post that on Christmas Eve he was hosting a table of 22 people and because he is ‘terrible’ at his job, he forgot to put in an order for four sandwiches.
In the viral TikTok, Dean Redmond confessed he forgot to put in an order of four sandwiches during a brunch rush on Christmas Eve last week.
Instead of owning up to his mistake, he said he frantically told customers the waitress delivering the food had slipped down some icy stairs.
To make matters worse, he also claimed she needed to be rushed to the hospital, where she landed in the intensive care unit.
The concerned customers asked Dean for updates on her condition and when it came to paying they left $500 along with a note reading: ‘Dear staff, please do not stress! Things happen. We hope she is OK! Love Paul & Sue.’
In his TikTok post Dean says he doesn’t know what to do about the situation, and says in a state of panic: ‘I’m going to get such bad karma from lying to this table.’
He reveals that he did not share the tip with other staff members as they would have then found out about his lies.
Dean’s video, which features the hashtags #restaurantreview #lies #serverproblems, has over 21,000 seen already with mixed reactions trailing his post.
One person wrote: ‘Imagine the people who [left] these big tips see one of your videos.’
‘How don’t you feel bad?’ another user asked.
