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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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
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 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
Today, I went to a restaurant and only brought $14 with me to eat. I ordered and ate my meal, then went to the counter to pay for it. I threw $2 into the tip jar then got my bill. My bill was $13.86. I had to reach into the tip jar and take my $2 back so I could pay for my meal. 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, a customer tried to pay for a $1.55 cup of coffee with a gift card, but he came up a dollar short. He let another customer through while he fumbled in his pocket for money. I later noticed a dollar had disappeared from my tip jar. 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 withdrew €40 at the ATM to pay for dinner later tonight. It wasn't until I went to pay for it that I realized I'd taken the receipt, but left the cash in the ATM. FML
Today, I had a customer write "fuck you" in the tip option area on his credit card slip, I have no idea why. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What does it matter if she saw you do it or not? She would have seen it crossed out in a little bit anyway. It's a weird thing that you would bother to cross it out and lower it by only a dollar, seeing as how a dollar is relatively insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but it's just weird as opposed to horrible. Plus, it was only take out, people don't normally tip on take out at all so if I were her, I'd feel grateful to have even gotten a couple dollars.

I think what he means is that he wants the waiter to make the night good by providing good service and that they should have to work for a big tip and not just expect it

This is messed up. Why change the tip after you wrote it anyway? And why the hell was she looking? She should be grateful that you left anything at all because she's JUST a cashier. If I were you, I wouldn't go back.

#3, wtf??? Do you not realize that waiters/waitresses make like THREE DOLLARS AN HOUR?? There's a reason why you are supposed to tip them, dumbfuck.

You get paid, by your employer to serve me when I eat in a restaurant. If you're rude, zero tip. To get a tip from me, you have to be nice, happy, excited to be serving me. If I were you, I wouldn't have tipped more than a dollar. I work hard for my money, and spend it on the people I love, not on a rude waiter/waitress who doesn't want to be serving me

I can't believe she asked you that. That must've been really awkward. That's why I hate using card rather pay but cash.

"Did you take $1 off my tip?" "Yeah, Btch! Deal with it!" lmao

I fail to see how waitresses making $100 a day only make minimum wage. My friend averaged $15/hour and she didn't even reach $100 a day. Next time just cross it out again and write 0. I hate those waitress bitches that make $20/hour one day then expect it every day.

It's kind of cheap to remove only a dollar from the tip. I could understand worrying about "tipping too much" if you accidentally misplaced a decimal or something and over-tipped by $10.00 or something. To those assaulting #3 about not tipping unless he/she is made to "feel special" I agree. #3 sucks at life. Usually, however, people like #3 just say stupid stuff like "I don't tip" to look like a badass of some sort because they feel inferior in their own lives somehow. Also, they do it as "trolling" to gain negative attention. My guess is #3 wets the bed, has a small penis, and has never had a girlfriend.

The woman who called you out is a bitch, you should have crossed it out again and put a 0 there.

This doesn't deserve to be a FML. Who cares if you gave her one less dollar and she noticed it?
