Plans

By not invited - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United States - Appleton

Today, a close friend told me she had no plans for her birthday. I found out she was lying when I had to serve her and nine other mutual friends dinner at the restaurant I work at. I don't know what's worse, the fact that I wasn't invited or that none of them even remembered that I worked there. FML

Damn OP. She is obviously not a good friend. Let her/them go and move on! You deserve someone who would treat you right and not do that crap to you! She's obviously being fake. Go find someone worth your time!

I'm sorry, it can be tough when "friends" do that, but that just shows that ur too good for them

Maybe since your friend didn't have any plans, one of her other friends did a last minute dinner? Dinner plans in a restaurant really don't take much time to organize.

@25 If she didn't know about it, how would she know to check? Also, not all restaurants have reservations.

If they ask for apple juice...Give them orange juice instead.

Maybe give them grape juice if they ask for wine. More likely to get a reaction.

I would just smile in their faces and be extra friendly. Let them all sit in their own guilt and uncomfortableness. As for the other friends, usually we ask why so and so couldn't be there when a mutual friend is absent. And at least at that point I would have openly asked why the op wasn't invited if she really was friends with everyone there (to play devils advocate here, sometimes there is that one person who everyone secretly dislikes and who thinks he/she is great friends with you).

If you're going to go that route, you should really milk it by acting all happy that OP picked your restaurant just so she could be with you on your birthday. Ask your boss over and in front of them ask if it's okay to spend extra time at their table cause of that. They're going to spend their whole meal squirming over that one.

Maybe she said that she had no plans because she knew you had to work.

Even if the birthday girl knew OP had to work, why lie? Why not tell her she and 9 friends are having a party and say she is sorry OP can't make it? Better yet, if she were a "close friend" give OP ample notice so she can ask off from work, or maybe plan it around OP's schedule.

To be fair I did something similar on my birthday, I had absolutely no plans on if I was doing something or not and somebody asked me and I told them I didn't have plans, then they made plans for me and invited some people and we all went out, it could've been a similar situation as I had but still it was pretty crappy they didn't invite you on top of going to where you work
