Today, I started my job as a waiter. I was excited when my first customer paid for the bill. I go over to the table, half-expecting a tip. I got to the table and no money was on the table. On the bottom receipt was written: "Ever heard of deodorant?" Apparently I smell bad. Thanks for the tip. FML

Today, I was working my shift at a fancy restaurant and it had been a really hard day. My parents came in to have dinner and surprise me. After paying, they left a note saying they would see me at home. It also said "By the way, no tip, because you stink at serving." 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, 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 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 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 had to give a massage to an obese person with rank smelling fungus growing in between their skin folds. They tipped me two dollars. My hands still smell. 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 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

unfortunate that it happened, and that was a rude comment. still, body odor really makes me lose my appetite. i would be frustrated if i went to a nice restaurant, paid for my food, and my server's sweat made me too nauseous to enjoy it. hope the rest of the job goes better for you op :)

**** tips, when I go to a restaurant I don't ask for a stupid waiter. They should give you an option. I would rather walk up to the counter and get my own damn food. Screw paying 15-20%. It's like they force full service down your throat. This is why I never go to sit down restaurants unless I am forced.

Reading these comments is like a stab to the heart! I've been a server my entire time in college and have worked so hard (going into overtime while a full-time student) to be able to pay tuition and rent and bills. In this country, servers generally are paid $2.13/hour. All of that is taken out in taxes. We do not get paychecks. If we don't get tipped, we don't get paid. 15-20% is standard. I've worked random jobs since I was 13, and working in a restaurant is the most stressful so far. #91, dieburnbot, if you believe this service is being forced upon you, I am grateful of your decision to stay at home. I do understand, however, that there can be some extremely incompetent servers. Perhaps you do not believe they deserve a tip. Fair enough. Please do not try to ignore the fact that gratuity does not mean "extra money."

At least you got some kind of tip.

How do we know the customers weren't just being Dicks to the waiter? For all we know he could have smelled like a handful of heavenly roses, and the customers just didn't want to tip?

My friend is a server here in Nevada, and she makes 7.50 an hour (min. wage). She also only ends up with a paycheck (every 2 weeks) of around $200, they tax the heck out of her check (they tax based on the amount of tips you receive, and credit card tips HAVE to be monitored, cash tips are the only ones they can get away with not reporting every once in a while) , so she does rely on tips. When she was working in Arizona, the hourly wage was only around $4 an hour. It depends on the state, some states are lower, some higher. After tips, she always ends up making more money than I do (which is about twice her hourly rate), but I don't get tips. So, yes, servers depend on tips. Otherwise she'd be making $400/month. Not nearly enough to live on, heck, that's not even enough for rent.
