TikToker sparks debate after hour-long wait for a check: \u201cI would just leave\u201d TikTok: raegantanon \/ Unsplash: Marialaura GionfriddoA TikToker who didn\u2019t order dessert has split the internet after she was left waiting an hour for the check at an Italian restaurant. Every country and culture has its own etiquette to follow when visiting, with unwritten rules that govern the dos and don\u2019ts of dining. Italy is no different, boasting rich culture, traditions, and pride in the food its locals make. And \u2014 as one TikToker found out \u2014 finishing your meal with a dessert, cappuccino, or limoncello is an integral part of the dining experience. Rae, who goes by \u2018raegantanon\u2019 online, posted a now-viral TikTok while dining in Italy. The video shows her in a restaurant with writing revealing she had been waiting for the check for almost an hour: \u201c[Point of view] It\u2019s been 57 minutes since you asked for the check in Italy and they still haven\u2019t brought it to you because you said no dessert and no to a cappuccino and no to limoncello.\u201d In the caption of her video, Rae wrote, \u201cShould\u2019ve just said yes to the tiramisu.\u201d Having garnered already over 1.8 million views, her comment section was split over the situation. For some, a wait time this long was simply unacceptable; \u201cThe way I would just leave then.\u201d Another person suggested, \u201cGet up to go\u2026 they\u2019ll get it to you.\u201d However, many claimed it was an important part of Italian dining etiquette to finish the meal with one of the options on offer. One viewer said, \u201cNever say no to dessert or limoncello.\u201d And one person could even offer an explanation as to why it was an integral part of the dining experience; \u201cThis happened to me and the waiter literally told us he would not let us leave without us taking one (which was either limoncello or cappuccino)\u2026 we asked why and he said they\u2019re digestives since Italian food is heavy for the ingredients and stuff so they don\u2019t want you to get sick\/not come back.\u201d Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
