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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 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, 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 was taking a table's order. After I finished, the guy told me, "Just FYI, I'm not a tipper." Trying to lighten up the situation, I replied, "It's amazing how many people forget I handle their food." He complained to the manager that I'd threatened him. FML
Today, at work, a man bought a lot of really expensive stuff. He paid the large bill with cash, and the manager helped me count the money. When we were done, he handed me a $100 bill to thank me for all the help. We can't accept tips. The manager was next to me. I had to say no. 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 was taking out a customer's groceries when he offered me a $5 tip. I told him I couldn't accept, since it's against store policy, but thanked him anyway. He called me an asshole just as my boss was walking to his car, who then yelled at me for it. FML

That was stupid. Plenty of people pay tips with cash instead, myself included.

I hope he threw the money in your face. Ha, no I don't. I hope he gave the money to your co-worker.

You're an idot for not waiting until they were gone. However, I think a lot of people on here don't realize that most of a waitresses salary comes from tips, and saying she doesn't deserve the tip would be the same as your boss not paying you for a few hours if they heard you make a complaint on the job.

What, you've never received a cash tip? Bad form. I hope you learned your lesson.

I hope he smiled, extended the money, and then snatched it back. Personally I see no point in tipping anymore than $2. That brings you up to close to minimum wage anyway and there are other tables - if eveyone tipped that much, you'd still make an average of minimum wage per hour. Big effing deal. It's not like your serving tables for the $.

Well, I hope he didn't tip you then, I am one of those people that pay with their credit card, but will leave a tip in cash... It just makes sense to do that. There would be no reason for someone to have to wait for a tip to clean from my checking account, or something like that... Also, if you're going to talk trash make sure the people aren't around you next time, you have poor forward thinking.

Not even one person on this whole ******* planet has to tip you. It's a privilege. When they don't want to tip you it is their choise..... Apperantly you think everyone has to tip you for serving.... **** of will ya

He was generous, since tips are usually 10% of the bill, he shouldve gave you like 12.
