One man in North Carolina forgot about southern hospitality and brought an entirely different kind of energy to a local Dunkin’ Donuts. A TikTok video shows a customer absolutely crashing out after discovering the store was out of the ice cream flavor he wanted.
The clip, originally posted by TikTok user @Iamshleyraye, has caught the attention of social media, with users flooding the comments to share their disbelief. The video opens mid-meltdown, showing the North Carolina man already going off on the Dunkin’ employees. Text on the video reads: “Walked into Dunkin Donuts to this man being belligerent to the employees because the ice cream he wanted is sold out.”
It’s the kind of chaotic energy no one expects when they’re just trying to grab a coffee and a cruller. The employees, clearly over the drama, try to keep their composure while the man continues his tirade. According to the clip, he starts using foul language, prompting one of the workers to shut it down with a firm, “Watch your mouth.”
North Carolina Man Has Ice Cream Meltdown At Dunkin Donuts
Still, the man doesn’t quit. He keeps ranting about the workers not restocking the ice cream or answering the phone, like he’s the victim of some dessert conspiracy. Meanwhile, the group filming just tries to order their food in peace. By the end, they even let the angry customer pay first, probably hoping to speed up his exit before he launched into another round of complaints.
If you’ve ever worked in the service industry, this video is a little too relatable. The employees handle it like pros, staying calm while this guy spirals over a missing scoop. It’s a snapshot of what so many service workers deal with on a daily basis, people who think a $3 order entitles them to act out like they’re on a reality show.
TikTok Didn’t Appreciate The Attitude
Of course, TikTok users had plenty to say. “Talk about first world problems,” one person commented. “It is not that serious go somewhere else,” another said. “Unbelievable on so many levels,” a third comment read. “He would absolutely lose his mind if he wanted an ice cream at McDonald’s,” joked a fourth social media user.
Hopefully, the man was just having a bad day and maybe a sugar craving that got the best of him. But for everyone else, it’s another reminder to chill out and remember that kindness goes a long way, especially in a Dunkin’ Donuts line in North Carolina.
