Content creator Selena (theatrewithselena) recently took to TikTok to explain why she will never step foot in an Applebee\u2019s restaurant again. \u201cOne time, I got drunk in an Applebee\u2019s and I really wanted a molten lava cake,\u201d she recounted in a viral clip. \u201cAnd so I looked at the waiter and said, \u2018Hey, can I please have a molten lava cake?&#8217;\u201d Selena said the server then looked at her like she had \u201cfive heads\u201d before claiming that they don\u2019t serve molten lava cake. \u201cWe don\u2019t have that,\u201d she recalled the waiter telling her. \u201cDid you mean the Triple Chocolate Meltdown?\u201d \u201cSorry, I was too drunk to call this lava cake by its Applebee\u2019s Government name,\u201d the TikToker said in the video. \u201cLike so sorry about that. I never went to that Applebee\u2019s again. That was the most embarrassing moment of my life.\u201d Many viewers in the comments recounted their own similar experiences of waiters being unusually insistent about a dish\u2019s official name. \u201cWhen i asked for chicken tenders at Texas Roadhouse and she said \u2018..uh chicken CRITTERS..????&#8217;\u201d one person wrote. \u201cNo because why does McDonald\u2019s have me saying \u2018McCrispy\u2019 out loud for a chicken sandwich,\u201d another said. \u201cMe at Texas Roadhouse EVERYTIME I order the blooming onion \u2018oh\u2026the cactus blossom?\u2019 WE BOTH KNOW ITS A BLOOMING ONION,\u201d a third added. However, according to some servers in the comments, there might actually be a valid reason for being so meticulous. \u201cAs a server, I will ALWAYS ask if you mean the government name because otherwise when ppl get it they tell me that\u2019s \u201cnot what they ordered,\u201d one shared. \u201cWhen I\u2019m doing a long shift in food service, if people don\u2019t use the exact wording I get confused because there\u2019s typically so many food options,\u201d another commented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Applebee\u2019s customer shamed by waiter for ordering molten lava cake TIKTOK: theatrewithselena \/ WIKIMEDIA COMMONSAn Applebee\u2019s customer has gone viral on TikTok after recounting how she was being \u2018shamed\u2019 by a waiter for trying to order a molten lava cake.
