TikTokers Lose It After Chili's Robot Rolls Up To Their Table And Starts Singing 'Happy Birthday'

Imagine you're out to dinner at a restaurant with a few friends or family members. Everyone has gathered for your birthday.

Imagine you've already had your meal and it's time for last drinks, coffees, and dessert.


Imagine restaurant staff coming up to the table to sing "Happy Birthday" to you and your group.

Is anyone in your imaginary scenario a robot?

Probably not, but if you happen to celebrate your birthday at Chili's then there's a small chance you might find yourself getting serenaded by Rita.

As in Rita the Robot.

TikTok user @allllllllllywestttttttt - named Ally - found herself unexpectedly staring down a singing robot after her meal at one of the 50+ Chili's locations that have a Rita the Robot.

Ally and her group weren't aware of Rita before it came rolling up to their table to serenade the squad, which lead to some pretty interesting reactions among the group.

And TikTok users, who were honestly not that into Rita... though some tried to look on the bright side.

Especially when people noticed she rolled up to the table with no cake or other dessert for the birthday guest.

So we got awkward singing, a traumatic robot scare, a robot that sounds like Barbie ... and no dessert?

TikTok is not having it.

What about you?

How would you feel about having a robot sing Happy Birthday to you at a restaurant rather than having servers come to your table to sing?

Would the lack of cake make this better or worse for you?
