A Winston-Salem, North Carolina, food influencer heard a claim that a local restaurant was forcing customers to tip. He decided to visit the restaurant himself and document what happened when the bill arrived.
TikTok creator Mock (@jorgemock) said he saw another TikTok from a creator who alleged that a server at Konnichiwa in Winston-Salem required her group to leave a tip through the restaurant’s payment system. Mock said he wanted to see whether he would encounter the same situation.
