The manager of a FOOD service worker forced them to spit in a customer’s food for a shocking reason.
In a two-part TikTok video, Mitchell recalls the “uncomfortable” experience.

“I had the craziest day at work today,” Mitchell says.
“There are so many juicy details.”
Mitchell goes on to say that they were the only server and there was no host, so they were doing “multiple jobs” despite it being a slow day.
But then someone walked into the restaurant and caught Mitchell’s attention.
“He’s really, really cute. He’s extremely attractive,” says Mitchell.
“I wouldn’t say I’m overly flirty, but I’ll put some extra sugar on it.”
“I really get the impression that he’s responding well to my extra sugar.”
Mitchell takes the man’s order and brings the food to the table when it’s ready.
But the customer does not eat the food.
Mitchell goes to see if everything is okay and the man says, “I have this weird request.”
“I was wondering if you could spit in my food.”
Mitchell says they were sure they misunderstood the customer.
“I have no doubt it was a mistake,” Mitchell says.
But the customer says again, “I was wondering if you’d spit in my food.”
“I’d really love that,” Mitchell says, the man said.
The client insisted, said Mitchell, who wasn’t convinced they were allowed to do that.
“I think I would probably be fired, my manager probably wouldn’t approve,” Mitchell said.
But the client asked to speak to Mitchell’s manager.
Mitchell then realizes that the manager who was working that day “puts the customer experience above all else”.
Mitchell claims that after speaking to the customer, the manager said, “Just do it.”
“I’m like, obviously this is a kink, I don’t want to do that,” Mitchell said.
“Dude just do it, it’s okay,” Mitchell said, the manager said.
The customer allegedly told the manager that he would tip Mitchell “very, very well” if they spit in the food.
“I walked over and felt so uncomfortable,” Mitchell said.
Mitchell spat in the food, but the customer wasn’t happy.
“Come on, spit in my food, just spit,” Mitchell tells the customer.
The customer then had Mitchell spit on all individual parts of the meal.
Mitchell says the customer ate the food quickly and then left a $100 tip.
But hours later, the restaurant received a call from its public relations officer and general manager, saying that the customer had left a Yelp review stating that “they will spit in your food on command.”
The manager was subsequently fired on the spot, Mitchell said.
Combined, the two videos have nearly 2.5 million views.
Fellow TikTokers left comments on both videos, sharing their thoughts on the ordeal.
“I want to say this isn’t real, but because I’ve worked in restaurants all my life, it’s 1000% believable,” one person wrote.
“You shouldn’t have been 100% forced to do that. It should have been an automatic no,” said another.
“I am SO UNCOMFORTABLE on your behalf,” wrote another person.
