🗣️ We’ve all imagined quitting that one job in a blaze of glory, and in a viral TikTok, a former Target Starbucks worker did just that.

🐜 The good news is that the roach a Hell’s Kitchen Las Vegas patron spotted and recorded for posterity was in the gift shop, presumably after the patron finished a meal. The bad news, of course, is that it was a roach in Hell’s Kitchen—the celebrity restaurant that’s supposed to be a testament to Chef Gordon Ramsay’s impeccable standards.

👋 Before you go

A customer filmed herself asking Chick-fil-A workers to completely remake her soup order because it was not given to her with a spoon

It escalated into her cursing at staff members of the restaurant chain which potentially resulted in the content creator setting her account to private.

The video was reposted to TikTok by user @sarah_conner1, an account that reshares videos of interactions between fast food employees and customers. In the clip, a woman films herself asking for her Chick-fil-A order to be remade because she had to re-enter the drive-thru line to ask for a spoon, and her soup had gotten cold in that time.

The doors were locked, she said, so she was unable to go inside to ask for a utensil. When she received her order back from the employees manning the drive-thru, she tells them that she had marked the bottom of the soup container, and knew they had simply given the same soup back to her.

“This is the same soup,” she says in the video. “I marked the back of it just in case y’all tried to give it back to me. Also, this is all being recorded, so make sure y’all do the right thing, please. Y’all gave me back the same soup. You know what, bro? Make sure she don’t f*ck with my sh*t though, for real, watch her. I’m not playing with y’all.”

Many viewers suggested that the restaurant employees simply reheat the soup, as they would have done in the same situation.
