A student sparked a big online debate after posting a video of herself using a Texas Roadhouse booth as a personal study space. Lilianna Elle, a lifestyle content creator known as @theliliannaelle on TikTok, posted a video of herself working on a tablet in a restaurant booth while snacking on the chain’s famous bread rolls.
She claims that by ordering an appetizer and a drink, she got a workspace for just $15, getting “unlimited rolls and drink refills, [an] appetizer and free wifi for $15.” The TikTok video pulled in more than 5 million views, but many people were not happy about it, especially those in the service industry. The main issue is that servers are given a set number of tables, and their income depends on how fast those tables turn over.
