Today, I waited on a gentleman and his lady friend at my restaurant. They ordered some of the most expensive items on the menu, and I thought I'd get a nice tip. Instead, he tipped me a scrap of paper, containing a drawing of a cock jizzing on a caricature of my face, and the word "Thanks." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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'm a waitress. A customer came in and acted very kindly and even mentioned how I was such a help to her. She also mentioned leaving a nice tip. The tip? A fake $20. Thanks. FML
Today, I was doing takeout orders at the restaurant I work at. I spent a long while putting together this guy's $135.00 order. When he finally got there to pick it up, I told him to fill out the credit card slip. I looked at it after he left. He gave me a 40 cent tip. FML
Today, I was waitering at the restaurant that I work at when I collected a credit card bill that was worth $120 and a big zero on the tip line. Angered, I turned to a co-worker and said "I knew this asshole wasn't going to tip me." The guy was standing right behind me with $30 in his hand. FML
Today, I was working in a restaurant. On the receipt under "tip" someone actually took the time to write out "$0.00." FML
Today, I was complimented by my guests about the great of service I was giving them. They then left me a $2 tip on a $50 tab. FML
Today, a guest at my restaurant asked me what a tip was. I had to awkwardly explain to him that servers don't make hourly wages, and we rely on tips from customers to make money. After I finished, he laughed at me, called me a sucker, and stiffed me on a $120 tab. FML
Today, while I was working as a waitress, I had to wait on a table of 13 people. I was struggling through it and when they finally left I went by the table to pick up my tip. Instead of a money I got a napkin saying, "Here's your tip, don't be a waitress." FML
Today, a customer handed me a 100 dollar bill. He then told me that it was my tip for doing a good job. He snatched it away just as I touched it, laughed, and said, "Just kidding." He then took his money and left the store. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I guess he thought giving you a "money shot" = giving you money.

He sounds like someone who is up to no good - trying to impress his lady friend - and if that is the case, FYL and FHL. But if she is aware of it, then both of them are up to no good and a match made in heaven.

What an asshole move. I hope they will taste spit in the food the next time they come back.

...And people like you are one of the main reasons why I will never tip for anything in my life.

If the service is bad, they have a choice of complaining or not tipping. However, if they said "thanks", I would expect that the service was decent and the waiter/waitress deserved a tip. This couple drew a penis and did not tip. Childish and cheap ass.

No, you don't tip because you're cheap and an asshole, most waiters, busboys and hostesses work really hard and the least you can do is leave them a little something for all they did for you

Actually, it's worse then that. That waitress now has to pay tax on the tip she didn't get. The IRS assumes she got it and wants their cut.

No, the reason you never tip is because you're selfish and a cheap skate.

#57: As someone who understands how cruel the service industry is and who always tips, regardless of service, I can say that I've also had my fair share of waiters who take money from me before I even have a chance to tip. I understand that a lot of waiters can't trust their customers, but I'm always the last to complain about my meal when I'm eating with other people (and usually the best tipper). It's pretty much the one and only time I take away the majority of the tip i intended to leave (I usually tip 10% for crappy service/attitude and 30% for great service/attitude), but, in more than one instance, I've asked for change from the waiter and did the math in my head for the amount of change I expected. They'd come back with paper money and no loose coins. For instance, I had a $15.55 bill, gave the waiter a $20, and expected $4.45 in change; oddly, I only received $4.00 from her. As a result, I let her keep the change and didn't mention it to her; however, had she given me the correct change, I had planned on leaving three bucks plus the loose change. She basically lost out on a 22% tip for a 3% tip, simply because she didn't think I'd leave tip at all after I received my change. In the worst case I've experienced, the waiter quit during his shift (based on how much he was complaining to his coworkers instead of taking our food order, it was over some gossip he was involved in at work). When it came time to pay, he refused to give me my change and, even after notifying the manager on duty, I only managed to get roughly half of my change back. As the guy left, he said he, "took what [he] thought was fair" (which ended up being five bucks for a $12 bill), and walked out the door with my change (lesson learned: don't eat at Waffle House at 2 a.m.). So, in short, if you give me correct change, you'll get your fair tip, but, if you try to cheat me out of my change, you'll end up getting maybe 5% from me (unless you take it by force, in which case, you just lost a customer).

I'm "selfish and a cheap skate"? No, the people who are "selfish" are the waitstaff who expect extra money for doing exactly what they were supposed to do. The "cheap-skates" are the employers of the waitstaff who don't pay their employees proper wages, therefore all you dumb Americans are tricked into paying the waitstaff's wages for them, ensuring the circle of idiocy, inaction and greed continues. Have a nice day.

It's this thing called common courtesy, asshole. Learn it, and while you're at it, learn some manners.

Did you slap him with a potted cactus?
dgameseeker 12
Hmm I wonder where you got the idea of a potted cactus from ;) I could never guess
kmartFTW 12
I sure wouldve!

That's pretty rude of him, especially after your service. Hopefully he doesn't come back.

That guy must have been a real dick.

They're messed up for being too childish.

Are you sure your service was that good? No offense, but I could see them being upset and not leaving a tip if you weren't friendly or something. Although the way they went about communicating that was immature. So I'd definitely say FYL, with a potential YDI.

You did get a tip in some senses of the word
datguy69s 21
What goes around comes around so try not to stress over it so much

That's what you get for EXPECTING a tip you need to earn it... Just because they bought expensive items doesn't mean they thought you earned a tip... But he was a dick FYL.

In the US it is customary to always tip. Servers make less than 3 dollars an hour, and the rest of their income is supplemented with tips, so obviously they were expecting one. There's absolutely no reason for you to assume OP isn't a good server.

tipping no matter what is a stupid custom and I work for the food industry. it empowers Shitty servers to keep their jobs without being good at them. tips is an acronym for "to insure prompt service" so I have to bribe you to do your job?
