Restaurant gimmicks can be fun sometimes. Who doesn’t love the cheesy entertainment of a superfluous cocktail mixing trick or a fancy salting technique? That said, restaurant spectacles can definitely go too far, like this one server who stacked 31 plates while his colleagues stood there and watched.

While some were too distracted by thoughts of germs to appreciate the server’s balancing skills, others were more concerned about the squished french fries. Whoever got the bottom plate couldn’t have been too thrilled about the gimmick. Keep scrolling to see the funniest roasts and reactions to the viral video. We hope the table still tipped him well.
