A story, likely a fake one, had gone viral online. That’s mainly because it features a mugshot of a Pittsburgh waitress who could safely be labeled the epitome of pulchritude.
The mugshot has unsurprisingly gone viral, garnering over 1.3 million views.
According to the account, the waitress, Jordyn Hale, was arrested after taking drastic action against patrons who did not tip. Hale, who is said to work at Steel City Smokehouse (which may or may not exist), went for the establishment’s leaf blower and used it to chase the customers.
According to witnesses, again, likely fake, Hale was treated to multiple complaints. She had to bring them eight drink refills and had to take their ribs back twice.
She is said to have held her frustrations in until collecting the bill. The customers apparently paid a tab of $168 but didn’t tip.
Instead of some compensation for what seemed like above-and-beyond assistance, all she got was a note saying, “You didn’t uplift our dining experience.”
The way the story goes, the waitress simply nodded. Then she walked away, returning with a leaf blower.
She plugged it in and screamed, “GET UPLIFTED, THEN!” before switching it on.
The tweet below described what happened next as a “roaring gust” that “blasted napkins, sauce cups, and menus into the air.”
“The group shrieked as their hair flew back like a wind tunnel photoshoot. One man grabbed his toupee mid-flight. A woman lost control of her scarf as it whipped into the next booth,” it adds.
Pittsburgh police were summoned and arrested Jordyn upon arrival.
“YOU WANT UPLIFTING? TIP NEXT TIME!” she is said to have shouted while being taken away.
Would you let this waitress serve you? And would you tip her? Lol

“This is one of those stories that’s probably not true, but you hope it’s true. And maybe it is. Lol,” the original account warned.

No reputable outlet has verified this report, and it is likely that AI fabricated it. But it’s proof that anything can trend if a photo of an attractive female is attached.
