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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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 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, I went into work to waitress on a table of 40 guests. They were my only table for the day and the bill came to over 700 dollars. After they left the busser was cleaning the table and threw out the credit card receipt which had my tip on it. FML
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, 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 complimented by my guests about the great of service I was giving them. They then left me a $2 tip on a $50 tab. FML
Today, while I was working at Starbucks, a customer spilled her drink all over the counter. After I cleaned up her spill and remade the drink (for free), she exclaimed, "Thanks! I should really tip you!" Then she turned around, walked directly past the tip jar, and left the store. FML
Today, I was working as a waitress at this pub. It was dead. After 4 hours I had only made 5$ in tips. A friendly couple came in and complimented EVERYTHING down to the freshness of the lemons in their tea. The bill came to $50. They left me a $5 gift card to Starbucks. I don't drink coffee. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This type of disrespect is definitely not confined to this generation. From this site you've seen how ridiculous people of all ages can be.

It's not only the younger generation. I see it everywhere. But if ever they come back, they'll be waiting a long time for service. I'm sure you're not the only one they did this too, so they won't have to wait too long.

They learned that from a vine. The kids are dumbasses though. FYL

The water glass trick has been around much, much longer than Vine has.

#15: I was doing the water glass trick when the internet was still dial-up. It is nothing new

Definitely not new. It was around in the 90s, but then it was actually used to leave insults for terrible service, not just to be a prick to a random server. I also long ago learned how to get the cup back off the table without making too much of a mess.

I did it to my older sister when she was a waitress, but my parents always gave her a tip.

ehh it happens :/ I used to be a sever, if you don't watch the little **** waffles sometimes they'll leave without paying at all! leaving you with the tab, sorry about that op, good luck with future customers ^_^

Teenagers...and I can't really vouch for it though...

This shit happens to me all the time. I just don't get why people have to be such inconsiderate assholes. As a server you actually have to work damn hard at your job . I would understand if you gave shitty service, but since they left that note I doubt it, they should have at least tipped 10%. Dicks.

Joys of working in food/beverage. FYL OP, best just to forget and carry on as annoying as it is :/

What little *******.

That is in no way funny. I don't understand the crap that some teenagers do.

I have done the water trick, but I tipped much extra, $20 on a $40 tab.

Oh thank goodness. A larger tip makes the dick prank like it never happened.
clrichmond2009 24
unless your tip is 100% or better, you're still a dick for the water glass prank.

The bartender is a friend of mine and we always play pranks on each other, it doesn't mean I'm a dick.
clrichmond2009 24
I would strongly recommend mentioning that in your original comment next time.

What's wrong with my generation
Lil_Red777 21
I know older people that don't tip because they're assholes. Assholes aren't contained to just this generation. I always tip the people that doing me a service.

Or they are retired and dont make money anymore to be tipping like is normally done.
