Former Dairy Queen employee forgets she no longer works at Dairy Queen and spills soda

A former Dairy Queen employee has become a viral TikTok sensation after she forgot she no longer worked at Dairy Queen and accidentally treated a soda like a Blizzard. On Sept. 5, TikTok user guacman22 uploaded a video of his encounter with the confused fast food employee. The teen was at the Whataburger drive thru when the ex-Dairy Queen worker walked up to his car and flipped a lidless cup of soda upside down. “Sorry, I used to work at Dairy Queen,” the fast food worker offered as an explanation. Thankfully, guacman22 was more entertained than upset — not unlike commenters, who noted that the encounter was “the funniest TikTok,” albeit cringeworthy. Some users questioned the authenticity of the experience, noting that it was strange that guacman22 was recording the employee bringing him a soda to begin with. “I record random people also, not staged at all,” a person joked. Staged or not, current and former Dairy Queen employees sympathized with the PTSD of instinctively flipping cups to avoid giving out coupons. “If you know you know … DQ was my very first job,” one former employee said
