Texas Roadhouse customers were mocked for being too eager
A bartender at the Texas Roadhouse joins the frontline staff who are tired of customers waiting outside for the place they work to open.
TikTok user Amaya Fox (@notamayafox) has 13,000 followers and some of her most viral videos revolve around her job at the Texas Roadhouse. In a video, she tells what it’s like to be a bartender at the popular steakhouse chain. In another, she shares how much she makes in a week at the Texas Roadhouse (spoiler alert: $977).
In a video that received over 180,000 views, Fox uses the tone, “You know what it never was? So serious. It’s never been so serious,” poking fun at customers waiting in line outside for the restaurant to open, “like it’s the last supper.”
“I promise you’ll get a seat,” she assured eager guests in the caption.
The Daily Dot contacted Amaya Fox via TikTok comment and direct message.
While some employees addressed Fox’s experience in the comments, some customers chimed in to defend their actions.
“Because if not then wait 3 hours to get in,” one claimed.
Many, if not all, Texas Roadhouse locations open late afternoon on weekdays, which might explain why customers are eager for a meal. However, some employees at Roadhouses outside of Texas also complained that customers do so at inappropriate times given the facilities they work at.
“Ppl be wild at my job for wings. Like sir, it’s 1030am. Go have breakfast?!” is one of the top comments.
“I work at bdubs and when people show up at 11am it amazes me. GO FOR BRUNCH good lord,” said a second.
As other TikToks have proven, customers queuing outside of facilities before they open aren’t just limited to Texas Roadhouse. A Best Buy customer had to reassure customers in a TikTok that the store “will still have [whatever item they need] when you sit in your car and wait for it to open instead of queuing outside. But even when customers wait in their cars, workers can find it disconcerting.
