Many things can happen when one is working a drive-thru window. A worker can get odd requests from customers, have to deal with massive orders, or even have someone try to enter the establishment through the drive-thru window.

TikToker and Dunkin’ employee RJ recently went viral for sharing his own drive-thru work pet peeve: when a card gets declined, but he doesn’t notice until the customer has already pulled away.

In the video, RJ (@ysn2kjosh) stares out of a drive-thru window looking distressed, eventually pounding on the counter.

“When you thought the customer card went thru but it declined & they already drove off,” he wrote in the text overlaying the video.

Even more users told stories of having to deal with similar issues to RJ.

“I used to work at a gas station I let someone walkout with 2 cases of beer because for wherever reason I thought the transaction went through,” a commenter recalled.

“I gave away $30 of dunkin doing this on accident,” another remembered.

Above all, TikTokers agreed that the worst part of letting this happen is having to tell management.
