A woman from the Philadelphia area says a routine lunch at a chain restaurant took an unexpected turn after a server allegedly refused to accept her $50 bill, declined to return it, and threatened to call police. The incident comes from TikTok creator Bridget Goes (@bridgetgoes), whose video includes the text overlay, “Did a waitress try to scam me?” Bridget’s TikTok bio identifies her as being from the South Jersey and Philadelphia area.
According to Bridget, everything about the meal seemed ordinary until it came time to pay the roughly $35 check. Bridget said she offered a $50 bill. She alleged that the waitress took the $50 bill, then returned moments later asking her to use a different payment method.
