Today, while at the restaurant I work at, a bunch of kids came in. They all gave incredibly complex orders, laughed at everything I did, and made a huge mess by "spilling" hot sauce and water all over the floor. After they left, I was tipped eleven cents. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, I got to wait on one of those tables where everyone had very complex orders, and some of them sent their food back. When the time finally came for me to bring them their check and receive my well-earned tip, I returned only to discover that they'd dined and dashed. FML
Today, at work, I served a group of three teens. Their tab was $75 and they tipped me nothing. They wrote a thank you on a piece of receipt paper, put it in a glass of water and used a coaster to turn the glass of water upside down on the table, spilling water everywhere. They also stole my pen. FML
Today, at work, 5 minutes after I'd sent my help home, we got an 83 dollar order. I'm the only cook. FML
Today, I was feeling sick but went into my waitressing job because I'd already missed 3 days this week. I was dizzy and managed to spill a tray of drinks all over the customers. Then, when their food was done, I tripped and spilled hot chili all over the man's lap. FML
Today, I was waitressing for a huge family. Their bill was $750. Excited about the tip, I was shocked to see only $0.50. As they were leaving, I threw the two whole quarters at their heads. Guess who also got fired today. FML
Today, as a restaurant hostess, I fell into the fountain at work while carrying a high chair in front of several large parties, who all promptly laughed at me. We were so busy, I had to stay and finish my shift soaking wet. FML
Today, I started my first day as a waitress. After getting my ass slapped, drinks and food spilled over me, and being tripped by a bratty kid, my tips were stolen. FML
Today, I was taking a table's order. After I finished, the guy told me, "Just FYI, I'm not a tipper." Trying to lighten up the situation, I replied, "It's amazing how many people forget I handle their food." He complained to the manager that I'd threatened him. FML
Today, at my job as a waiter I sharted myself while taking an order. They tipped me $20 and wrote "for new underwear" on the receipt. FML
Today, I ordered pizza for dinner and left cash by the door so my son could pay for it, in case it arrived before I got home. I told him they should get all the money, but I just found the tip. Apparently he thought I'd miscounted. I'm a server. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think Kids like that shouldn't be allowed to come to a restaurant without at least one adult .

Adults can be just as bad, (I'm sorry to say) particularly adult church groups. Sunday afternoon and evenings were the worst shifts to work at my family's restaurant.

Teenagers suck! Enough said. FYL! I hope they don't come in again.

Find where they live and kill them all.

While killing them all could be seen as appropriate and just, I have another perspective which comes from having supervised other workers (admittedly not in restaurant work). If someone under my authority were being treated like that, I would want to know about it, and I would intervene. Or if I were told after the fact, I'd make an effort to get a good look at those losers so I knew to take charge of the situation next time they came in. I used to supervise receptionists, and no way would someone who came in get away with treating one of my employees in the manner in which you were treated. I actually don't believe that anyone does anyone a favor by letting them get away with crap like this. They'll just do it to someone else, and the behavior will escalate until someone responds to them in a manner that is appropriate and just.

when they're old enough to start working you should do the same stunt to them... and then when you leave write on the bill "karma is a bitch"
