A disgruntled waitress who received a one-star review from a family who accused her of treating them like “rubbish” turned their complaint into a hilarious joke.
Daniella Claeys, who works in a restaurant in London, decided to print the family’s review, which promises they will never return to the establishment, on a white T-shirt, which soon became part of her work attire.
While the 24-year-old, identified as Dani in the scathing review, said wales online that she was “openly uncomfortable” by the “disturbance” caused by the family’s “screaming toddler,” it wasn’t until she saw the review the next day that she realized how angry the mother was.
Daniella, from Tottenham, London, admitted the comments made in the November 2023 review had upset her, but said she soon saw the funny side of the situation and decided to order the £20 shirt.
Wearing the top to work, Daniella shared a clip of herself with the negative review emblazoned across her chest on TikTok, which has now attracted 2.9 million views.

The full review printed on the t-shirt reads: ‘We will never go back!!! At this restaurant the staff made us feel so uncomfortable that a waitress named Dani suggested to the manager that they sit us outside in the cold when our baby was crying because she had a headache, she didn’t bother to hide her discomfort and looked at us as if we were trash. Obviously we left the restaurant immediately. There is not a very family atmosphere, don’t bother going with children.
The family had given a one-star rating for each of four categories: “likely to recommend”, “atmosphere”, “food and drink” and “value for money”.
