A woman who tried to flee a restaurant without paying made one successful mistake before throwing a fit of rage at staff.
The woman and her partner were caught trying to leave their bill at the LongHorn Steakhouse restaurant in Panama City Beach, Florida, on Friday, but she returned after realizing she had forgotten her purse.
Another diner re-enacted the brazen altercation, which racked up more than seven million views on TikTok, as she and her family waited to be seated.
A restaurant manager confirmed to DailyMail.com that the incident occurred at the Florida location, but said he could not comment further.
The footage shows an employee on video holding the woman’s purse for non-payment as she repeatedly yells at him.

Another diner re-posted the brazen altercation, which has racked up more than 7 million views on TikTok, as she and her family waited to be seated on Friday.
“It’s my bag! Give me my shit!” as his friend tried to calm the situation down.
The intense clip begins with the man, dressed in jeans and a hoodie, and the woman, seen in jean shorts and an oversized T-shirt, standing next to the hostess stand at the front of the restaurant.
He turns to her and says something inaudible as the clerk, a man with a goatee and a button-down shirt, watches them while holding the woman’s purse.
The customer, identified as Missy, is heard asking the employee, “Can we wait a minute?” after being offered a table as people laugh in the background.
The couple seen on camera briefly stop arguing for a split second before the irate woman quickly attempts to snatch her purse from the employee.
Unable to retrieve her purse, the woman steps aside and lunges toward the worker, but her friend blocks her and says, “Calm down!”
“You have to give me my bag,” she shouts, pointing at the employee.
Her friend tells her: ‘He’s going to give it to you, don’t worry!’

A restaurant manager confirmed to DailyMail.com that the altercation occurred at the LongHorn Steakhouse in Panama City Beach, Florida, but said he could not comment “for reasons of cooperation.”
The worker then points at the woman and begins to walk away with the bag as the woman says, “If I was white…” before her friend interrupts her.
The employee then turns away as the woman’s friend says, “Okay, relax.”
—Give me my bag! —the woman shouts again—. That’s my shit!
“He’s going to give you that shit… relax,” his friend tells him while slapping him in the face.
The friend continues to assure her that she will get her bag back while she ignores him and checks her phone.
“Please! I ain’t got time for this shit, bro. I ain’t from here. I don’t care what anybody says. I ain’t from here,” he continues.
Then another man in a black short-sleeved shirt joins the employee and talks to the couple.
“I’m not yelling,” the customer says.
“You did it on purpose,” the woman intervenes.
They continue to argue as customers walk through the front door as the clip ends.
The woman who was filming said in the comments section of her post that the couple paid her bill to get the bag back.
DailyMail.com has contacted the corporate office of LongHorn Steakhouses for comment.
