Waitress shares her unnerving experience serving a MAGA couple who mistook her for one of their own
Ah, the service industry: a delightful realm where dealing with difficult customers is part of the job description. TikTok user Kate Swisher recently shared her experience serving a MAGA couple, and it was a ride from start to finish.
In her video, Kate recounts how the couple’s first interaction was a bizarre sing-song comment from the wife: “I know who you’re voting for.” Initially confused, Kate just moved on, but the odd comments kept coming as the meal progressed. The couple’s fixation on taxes became the focal point, with the wife cheerfully reminding Kate that “only a month left until you don’t have to pay taxes on tips anymore!” This led to Kate politely correcting her about the improbability of such a tax bill passing, to which the wife confidently replied, “Oh, don’t worry about that, he’s gonna get rid of all them, anyway.”
As the conversation turned towards government restructuring, Kate’s discomfort grew. She found herself nodding along, trying to remain polite while internally screaming as the couple discussed their unwavering belief in Trump’s supposed plans. When the wife accused her of wanting to pay taxes, Kate articulated her support for fair taxation, sparking an even more bizarre response: “Don’t question it. Don’t question him.” The wife insisted, “I think he has a plan. Just trust it.”
Kate’s reaction? A long, stunned stare at the camera as she pondered, “Is this a cult?” It’s a sentiment that resonated with many TikTok viewers, with comments ranging from outright disbelief to humorously personal anecdotes. One commenter jokingly asked, “Was that my mom?” as they recognized the familiar tone of blind faith in political figures.
Some viewers also pointed out the ironic twist: while Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris rarely align, both had floated ideas about eliminating taxes on tips, which could lead to the wealthy masking their bonuses as “tips.”
But the most pressing question from the audience was whether Kate actually received a tip for her service. One hopeful commenter asked, “But were you actually tipped??” and another wittily replied, “They left a concept of a tip.” Ah, the service industry—where sometimes, the most you can hope for is a thoughtful conversation or a good laugh.
