When a bartender says from the beginning that "we've all" been in a situation where we exposed a person's infidelity, you know that bartender has seen some things.
TikToker Cayley Yanko, or @imacayk, was no exception, apparent from her story of accidentally exposing one of her long-term customer's affairs.
Yanko began by explaining that she had a pair of regular customers who appeared at her restaurant at 4:45 PM every Wednesday, both wearing wedding rings, and calling each other "friends."
While the woman claimed that the man was "helping her with her finances," Yanko became certain the two people were having an affair while both married to other people.
On their final visit, Yanko joked:
"I became Therapist Cayley."
The man had already left the restaurant, and the woman was still sitting at their table when Yanko approached.
The woman confessed to Yanko that she was divorcing her husband and had known this other man since childhood, was in love with him, and wanted him to leave his wife.

In the second video, the woman continued talking to Yanko and explained to her that her friend had pointed out that Yanko was pretty.
The woman had apparently become irritated by this, which caused the pair to argue and for the man to leave their meeting early.
After this incident, Yanko did not see the pair for the following four months, and she essentially forgot about them.
But four months later, Yanko greeted them when they walked in the door, though the man attempted to ignore her as if he did not recognize her. Yanko assumed they were still angry about the "pretty" incident.
However, when Yanko approached them and offered them "the usual" for their drinks, Yanko realized her mistake.
The woman was actually the man's wife, and when she heard Yanko offering "their usual," she sat herself at another table and pouted.

The TikToker also clarified her visual situation in a follow-up video here:
TikTok had a lot to say about this particular incident, though most saw Yanko's behavior as the mistake it was.

Fellow bartenders and servers shared how they had also exposed affairs.

Fellow TikTokers were left in stitches over the mistake Yanka made because of not wearing her glasses, but some were grateful the truth had come out against the male customer.
Some were adamant that exposing him would have been the right thing to do anyway, while others thought staying out of his business would be better, but at least the group could agree it had been an accident that led to this particular exposure.
