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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

Guys comeon though, it's take out...in situations like that usually some coins are dropped in a jar, so a couple of dollars isn't bad....even if the OP crossed out a dollar (which seems ridiculous), ITS FREAKIN TAKE OUT. Who here tips at McDonalds drive through?

I dont think that's that bad....you picked up the food, it's not like they delivered it. You don't really have to tip them at all actually

She seems like a bitch. I hope you crossed it out to no tip after that. You don't even need to tip if you're picking it up, they didn't wait on you or deliver it to you.

no idiot. they got pulled away from their tables to answer your phone call. help your dumb ass on the phone to figure out your order. put it in the computer. wrap your order up to go and then service you when you come into pick it up. all the while they have tables who are tipping well being ignored because he has to deal with your stupid Togo order that you won't tip on. you are a dumbass who obviously doesn't see the whole picture.

YDI for not thinking before you wrote down the tip, and then lowering it by one (apparently very important) dollar. When paying, check the receipt, not the boobs. It was rude of her to comment on it, but you should've thought before writing in the first place.

Umm... if you thought she was cute, you should have manned up and left the one extra dollar. If you hadn't been a cheap jerk, maybe you could've gotten away with writing your phone number on there, too.

You did the right thing, tip any more then you're paying for it.

Take out . . . does this mean that you had the 'cashier' deliver it? If you walked in, paid, and took your own food out (yeah, I know, takeout) . . . you have no reason to tip anyway. I'm not trying to be mean, but I can't think of what the cashier could have done that was so spectacular. And she would have seen the changed amnt anyway - if I were in her position, I wouldn't have dared ask a customer a question like that. I'm surprised you didn't complain about her attitude and I'm surprised so many managers take that crap from their employees anyway.
