In my mind, this is related to the recent discussion of spectacular chemistry demonstrations and what people learn from them. When demonstrations are performed successfully and safely in one setting, this can set expectations for some people that these chemicals can be handled casually in other settings. I wonder how aware the waiter was of the hazards of his work...

Florida woman needed surgery after waiter put liquid nitrogen in her drink, lawsuit claims
Stacey Wagers says she had to have her gall bladder and parts of her stomach removed after drinking water with liquid nitrogen at The Don CeSar Hotel.
....
Wagers and her friend had just finished dinner at the Maritana Grille, on the premises of the Don CeSar Hotel, on Nov. 11, 2018, when the women saw their waiter pour a liquid on a nearby table's dessert that made it "smoke." Wagers' friend told the waiter the smoke effect looked cool, and the waiter then poured the liquid nitrogen into the women's glasses of water.
"Of course I didn‰??t think it was dangerous at all," Wagers said. "He had just poured it on a dessert."
The women drank from these glasses and Wagers became ill immediately, according to the lawsuit. An ambulance was called and Wagers was taken to the ICU, where she remained for days.
Because of the liquid nitrogen, Wagers had to have surgery to remove her gall bladder. Parts of her stomach were also removed where tissue had been burned by the extremely cold temperature of the chemical. Wagers has lost over 25 pounds from the incident and will have lifelong digestion issues, according to her attorney, Adam Brum.
