IHOP server shares video of her accidentally refusing Adam Sandler a table on TikTok

A hostess at US restaurant chain International House Of Pancakes (IHOP) has shared footage of the moment she accidentally turned away Adam Sandler for a table. 

TikTok user Dayanna Rodas shared the clip of video from a security camera showing her telling the Happy Gilmore star he would have to wait 30 minutes, entirely unaware of his Hollywood status. 

A masked Sandler accepts this, but decides to leave rather than wait it out. 

"Not realising it's Adam Sandler and telling him it's a 30min wait and him of course leaving because he's not going to wait 30mins for IHOP," she captioned the post. 

Rodas also filmed herself using the popular clown filter to illustrate her regret over the incident. 

"Pleaseee come back," she added. 

The TikTok post drew comments praising Sandler for not attempting to use his celebrity status to get a seat. 

"At least he didn't use his fame to rush anything, he left like a normal person would," one user wrote. 

"The fact that he just took the wait time and left instead of throwing a tantrum like regular customers do who aren't even celebrities," said another. 

Meanwhile, others reassured Rodas that they wouldn't have recognised Sandler either, given how "normal" he dresses. 

"He dresses like he's always ready to hoop and I respect him for that," one comment read.
