In a world dominated by negative news headlines, a Chili’s customer captures the
wholesome moment she asks her server if she can buy one of the skillets.

In a viral TikTok captioned “Well that was unexpected!! Best server ever!”
Camille captures a moment of pure joy and surprise during a family meal at
Chili’s in a video that has garnered more than 2.6 million views.

The video opens with Camille in front of a skillet brownie. Her husband
encourages her to ask a question that’s clearly been on her mind. “I’ve loved
these since college. Is there any way I could buy a cookie skillet?” she
inquires, her eyes gleaming at the sight of the delicious dessert and the vessel
which carries it.



The server’s response? A heartwarming offer to “sneak” her one of the coveted
skillets. The couple’s reaction is one of pure delight, a small but nowadays
rare gesture that turned their meal into an unforgettable night out. “Don’t tell
anyone,” the server says while the group shares a laugh.


THE INTERNET REACTS WITH JOY

The comments section of the video is a testament to how memorable these moments
can be for folks. One former server reminisced, “Haha this was me as a server,
sneaking people cheese graters from Olive Garden,” sharing a similar spirit of
generosity. Another user chimed in, “If you ask they’ll 90% of the time just
give it to you lol.” This brings to mind the old adage, “If you don’t ask, the
answer is always no.” Meanwhile, a slightly cynical viewer suggested, “Sneak you
one = tip me.” This points out the potential for a mutually beneficial
exchange. But hey there’s another old adage: “Scratch my back and I’ll scratch
yours.”

This isn’t the first time a restaurant has gone above and beyond for its
patrons. Olive Garden, for instance, is known for selling cheese graters and
boxes of their famous chocolate mints to those who ask. But Camille’s experience
at Chili’s takes it to a new level – offering a piece of the restaurant
experience for free, out of the goodness of her heart. Maybe the server was
beginning to get into the Holiday Season. And we thought the unlimited chips and
salsa was a deal!

THE SPIRIT OF AMERICAN DINING



Camille Smith’s viral TikTok video is more than just a cute story; it’s a
reminder of the joy and connection that can be found in the most unexpected
places. In United States dining culture, where customer satisfaction is
classically treasured, these small acts of kindness reflect a deeper
understanding that when everyone is happy, the dining experience can become
something truly special. So next time you’re dining out and find yourself
adoring a particular aspect of your meal, don’t hesitate to ask—you might just
be pleasantly surprised.

The Daily Dot has reached out to Chili’s and Camille via email for comment.
