Summary
TikTok user Desiree Godwin shared a story about her disappointing experience at Texas Roadhouse. She and her husband waited an hour for a table, and their server took 20 minutes to bring their drinks, which were incorrect. The server continued to make mistakes throughout their meal, including forgetting their A1 sauce and bringing the wrong drinks. Godwin asked her followers how much they would tip in such a situation, and many responded that they wouldn’t have tipped at all.

The habit gets a new name. “Waiting for service” is now “part of the experience.”
Texas Roadhouse customers wait an hour for a table, and then wait some more for their drinks, food, and A1 sauce. The server makes mistake after mistake, and the customers are left wondering if it’s worth tipping at all.
The lifestyle enters the chat: bad service is the new normal, and customers are expected to just roll with it.
One original observation: “Waiting for service” is just a euphemism for “we’re not paying our servers enough.”
