Change

Today, I was at work, when this guy came in and paid for his ice cream, then handed me a dollar. I've never gotten a tip before, so I looked at him and said, "Thank you so much, I appreciate it." He stared at me with a weird look for a moment, and then said, "Can I just get that in quarters?" FML

Would've helped if he'd asked for the change while handing it over, rather than expecting you to be able to read his mind. I understand your confusion

He's an asshole for not saying anything to you in the first place. I hate it when people do that.

Since people commenting don't seem to understand how this works, let me explain: Proper etiquette for asking for change: Me: "Can I get {CHANGE} from {BILL}?" Them: "Yes" (or "no") Me: If "yes", hand over bill, receive change. Proper etiquette for giving a tip: Me: Give money with no preamble. I can see how people get confused.

I get the idea.

Don't wurry, he's just jelluss! :]

Honestly, you didnt do anything to deserve a tip. You do your job, witch is what you get paid $5 a hour for.

Hey, im new to FML, and if anyone knows, what does OP mean?

Pretty sure it means "Original Poster".

Right, most customers seem to think people can read their minds.

Don't jump to conclusions

I have a huge thing for making idiotic comments, LOL.

That's so frikin hilarious I'm weak XD lol

YDI for being stupid. I don't know what it's like in america, but here in england we don't give tips at all, unless the shop has a separate jar.
