This diner was absolutely amazing.
A North Carolina waitress claims she was fired after posting a now-viral TikTok video of a customer eating dinner with an inflatable sex doll.
“You’re not allowed to make TikToks at work, but you have to have this,” server Tara Bjork said. Preface to the viral video posted on May 27th From working at Restoration Hardware Rooftop Restaurant.
“I work at a cool restaurant in Charlotte and I just wanted to show you what I just got in there,” Bjork continued.
She then turned the camera to zoom in on a male patron sitting across the room, with an inflatable female doll propped up on the seat opposite.
The store employee said the doll had yellow-blonde hair, appeared to be wearing a sleeveless black dress, and was being hand-fed grapes by its human date.
The camera then turns back to Björk, who holds her finger to her forehead, raises her eyebrows in a gesture of annoyance, and captions the post, “I’m at a loss for words.”
The footage quickly garnered more than a million views and prompted comments from someone claiming to be the man she filmed, who explained the bizarre date was retaliation for losing a fantasy football bet.
Björk later posted a follow-up video claiming that she got fired because of the video.
“[I] “I knew two things were going to happen: Either I’d get zero views and I’d be OK, or it would be a huge flop and I’d get fired,” she said. explained to the Charlotte Observer.
Björk added that she was “prepared for new opportunities so thankfully it wasn’t too much of a shock.”
“What I saw was him trying to ‘sit’ her down, which was embarrassing,” she said. Added in conversation with radio station 96.1.
At one point, Bjork claimed, a patron at the restaurant was feeding his “date” grapes.
However, the man in the video quickly posted his own video of the gaffe, which included multiple photos of himself sitting across from the troublesome companion.
“Tough date,” he wrote underneath the post.
He also posted a comment on a Bjork video claiming that she was dining with the doll because she had lost in a fantasy football league.
