A TikTok user from Texas was part of a long line at a Whataburger restaurant during last month’s epic multi-day snowstorm. She revealed a crucial part of the Texas code in video she captured: You don’t cut in the Whataburger line.

TikToker @laaaauerny1 shared a video she took of the incident going down. First, she notes that a car is forcing its way into a long line at the popular fast-food chain.

“Damn, that’s a dick move!” she observed, in a video that was nearly the seven-figure view mark on Monday. “That red car got in and didn’t wait in this line and he got in.”
The video then captures a person telling an investigating employee, “It’s the red one! Kick him out!”
The video then shows another employee headed to the driver of the offending car, presumably to boot the driver from the line.
“They’re kicking him out!” she exults. “You love to see it! You love to see it!”
Then, as the video ends, the would-be line jumper drives away, and the TikTok captions it, “That’s why you don’t cut” with multiple laughing-face emojis.

As the Daily Dot article noted, the comments field was a place for celebration, with people jumping in to laud Whataburger for policing its lines.
“You know the rules!” @yt_ambitious_xp said. “The people of Whataburger and the people who stand with Whataburger don’t put up with that McDonald’s behavior.”
Another invoked Texas code in applauding what happened. “One thing you don’t do in Texas when there’s a state of emergency during a pandemic… you don’t cut the Whataburger line,” @morteg2016 said.
The Dot story went on to observe that the video even made its way to the r/JusticeServed subreddit, where users praised what it termed Whataburger’s “no-nonsense approach to line cutters.”
“I love watching lane jumpers get justice or not allowed in,” u/cudipi said. “Everyone else has some place to be too, idk what makes these people so entitled.”
