A TikTok video showing a woman playfully pretending to be a security guard at a Dave & Buster’s restaurant has gone viral. The video was posted by a creator with the handle @jessquarter0412. In the clip, the woman is seen speaking to a young boy in a stern, authoritative manner.
The video’s on-screen text reads, “When your kids are fighting and someone pretends to be the security guard 😂🤣.” The woman in the video appears to be addressing a conflict between children. She says to the boy, “I’m not gonna hurt you, but what I’m telling you is I work here and I will put you out. Do you understand me?”
She continues her playful scolding, saying, “Let me find out you’re doing something wrong and it’s gonna be a problem and you’re going. I know what hotel y’all staying at, the Hampton, right? Let them call me and I’m coming. Do you understand me?” The boy listens intently while the woman holds his arm.
The video’s creator posted it with a caption asking viewers to help locate the woman
The creator who uploaded the video captioned it, “Seriously though please find this woman for me she was hilarious 🤣 #pittsburgh #daveandbusters #securityguard.” The caption indicates the person filming did not know the woman personally but found her interaction amusing and wanted to find her again.
In the video, after her mock reprimand, the woman’s tone softens. She asks the boy, “You sure? Do you want them to call me? No, you don’t. Be good, okay?” She then offers, “You want a hug? You don’t want a hug? Okay. Let them call me. They got my number.” The boy shakes his head no to the hug and walks away as the woman smiles.
The video has attracted numerous comments from viewers sharing their reactions. One commenter stated, “He didn’t want a hug cause he was mad she checked him 😭😭😭😭😭.” Another user wrote, “He looked scared as hell😂.” A third comment simply asked, “Does she do birthday parties?”
A woman claiming to be the boy’s mother explained the context in the comments
One of the top comments appears to provide context from the perspective of the child’s parent. A user wrote, “Let me just say I love this woman!!! When we were walking in, she was behind us and saw one of my sons kick the other. She tapped me on the shoulder to tell me he was misbehaving. We became friends and she was the security guard. I want to find her so we can be friends forever. The negativity 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️.”
This comment suggests the woman was not a random patron but actually worked at the venue as a security guard. It also indicates the interaction began before the recorded moment, with the woman first alerting the mother to the child’s behavior. Mistaken identity can have a lighter side, like when a woman spots her exact doppelganger across a restaurant.
Other comments on the video included remarks like, “This must be the Jessica we’ve all heard of,” and “This was the norm back in the day.” The video’s creator, @jessquarter0412, has not publicly identified the woman by her full name beyond the handle and caption.
The video was filmed at a Dave & Buster’s location in Pittsburgh, according to the hashtag used in the caption. The woman’s specific identity and whether she is still employed at the venue have not been confirmed in the provided information. The video remains a popular example of a playful, unexpected interaction shared on social media.
