All bartenders have to put up with all kinds of interesting customers.
Female bartenders, however, also often find themselves dealing with male customers behaving towards them in a less than dignified manner.
Bartender Kayla Elick had no idea what she was in for during a recent morning shift.
Elick had the fortitude to capture the bizarre encounter, eventually posting it on TikTok, where she uses the handle @chickfillkayyy.
@chickfillkayyy it was 10 am #bartender
Informing viewers this took place at 10am, the 12-second video began with an off-screen male customer making a fairly out of the ordinary request of Elick.
"Can I see your feet, just once?"
After Elick asked the unseen man to repeat himself, the man is once more heard asking to see her feet.
Clearly baffled, but admirably unfazed, Elick could be seen lifting up her leg, supposedly obliging the customer's request, though her feet were not seen in the video.
But then, another unseen male customer could be heard speaking to Elick, claiming she did not do what his fellow bar goer asked of her.
"No, Those are shoes."
Clearly uncomfortable with where this exchange was heading, Elick firmly stood her ground that a closer look at her shoes was the best these two unidentified men were going to get from her.
"I'm not pulling out my feet!"
The video cut out before we learned how this bizarre encounter ended.
But those 12 uncomfortable seconds have gone on to receive over 2 million views.
Elick clarified her reasons for recording this encounter in the video's comments section, explaining she was uncomfortable and manning the bar all on her own.

Viewers were in disbelief over how anyone could so casually make such an invasive request, and by the fact this happened in a bar at 10 AM.

Some commended Elick for admirably keeping her composure through the awkward situation.

Others felt the two unseen men deserved more severe consequences from Elick, with some saying she should have asked them to pay up.

However, Elick made it clear in a subsequent comment an increased tip from this admirer of women's feet was most definitely not in the cards.

As the saying goes, he could have at least bought her a drink first.
Or in this case, he could have bought A drink first.
Thankfully, though, Elick evidently has enough self respect to make it clear these presumptuous men were on a one way street to disappointment.
