Today, a lady handed me a $10 tip on a $45 bill. I was happy with it, since it was more than 20%, until she came back in and said, "I'm sorry I gave you the wrong amount." I handed it back to her and then she gave me a dollar. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I helped a lady carry her grocery bags to her car. She was so grateful that she offered me a tip. I refused, but she insisted. When I finally took it, I looked at the bill to see she'd given me $1. I smiled and said thank you, but she looked at me like I’d just robbed her. FML
Today, I ordered take out, and paid with a credit card. The cute cashier gave me the receipt to sign, and under 'tip' I gave a couple of dollars. I realized that I had given too much, crossed it out, and changed it. Unaware she was watching, She then responded, "Did you just lower the tip by $1?" 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'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, after starting my new career as a server, two women were kind enough to leave a $5 tip… while still owing $6.84 on their bill. FML
Today, I got tipped more than I have in my bank account. It was $5. FML
Today, a lady came into my workplace to pay her $120 bill in one dollar bills. I kept losing count. FML
Today, I got a $20 tip from an old lady I delivered pizza to. Ecstatic, I walked back to my car where there was a $30 parking fine waiting for me. FML
Today, I was tending the cash register. I scanned a lady's items which totaled $89.68. She paid with a $100 bill. I gave her $11.32 change. She angrily gave back the extra dollar and complained about "schools nowadays". I'm an AP Calculus student. FML
Today, I was cashiering, and a customer's change came to $5.51. She looked pretty stinking rich, so I just gave her $5.50. She demanded the extra penny, and I asked if she really needed it. She said, "No, but they do, asshole," and dropped her $5.51 in the charity donation box. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Here's a dollar. Go buy yourself something fancy.

I definitely wouldn't feel bad about chewing her out, although you probably need the job. Sorry OP. I know from experience that the food service industry sucks.

Damn bitch needs to work where tips supplement her measly hourly wage and then she will see it differently. It's a shame OP didn't reply with the following: Obviously you need that dollar more than me but thank you anyways for the nice gesture.

The bitch left. Technically you don't have to give her back the 10$. Fly and ydi. I would of never given it back to her. Bitch just wanted an excuse to buy something but was short so the ignorant asshole came back and fed you that excuse.

wow some people have absolutely no class, if that had been me and I'd handed someone the wrong thing and last I would have been too embarrassed to go back and say oh okay I'm a cheapskate you want to give me back my $10 so I can give you a lousy dollar bill. $1 on a 45 dollar check is cheap anyway, its an insult if I can you at that point I have told her to keep it because she obviously needs it way more than you do. Good luck in the future and I hope you get way more than generous customers from now on.

Im pretty sure at that point you might as well just not give a tip.

If you give the wrong amount, you're not allowed to take it back. That's like donating to charity but then realizing you want a new computer but gave away the money already.

10% of $45 is just under 20%, not more than it.
