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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 working in a restaurant. On the receipt under "tip" someone actually took the time to write out "$0.00." FML
Today, while at work, a customer gave me a $20 tip. I explained to him we aren't allowed to accept tips, but he insisted. When I called the manager to report it, he pocketed my tip. 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, at work, a customer asked for my number. When I declined, he made a huge scene, shouting and scaring other customers. He tipped me seven cents. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

#150-people DO work for the tips. And the higher the bill the more likely it was a bigger table, and the OP had to work harder for them then their other tables.

OP: You always complain about the customers in the back, where they can't hear you! You must not have been serving for very long. Everyone else: If you live in the United States and you think that 10% is a good tip, you're wrong. I generally get 20% on my table, sometimes I get more and sometimes I get less. If you gave me 10%, I would think that you were cheap or you give the benefit of the doubt that you don't know any better. As a server, I would be pissed if I thought I got 0 on a 120 because I actually lost money taking that table. I would still have to tip out for that table, so I'm actually OUT a couple of dollars because of some assholes that didn't know that tips are expected here. p.s. some of y'all should spend two weeks serving customers at aprox. 2.23 an hour and see if tips shouldn't be expected after you receive your paycheck.

I've worked a couple jobs in the service industry, driving cab being one of them. Tips are great, I understand, but I've had bills of close to a thousand dollars, not gotten a tip, and not expected one. You should never expect a tip. You should do your job as well as you can because that's what you're paid to do. Period. Tips don't even enter into the equation.

YDI. If you expect tips, then you deserve not to get tipped.

#116 that is exactly right. I tip well and never on a card. this dude is a moron. And if you make minimum wage don't expect a tip. Tip jars at dunkin donuts really piss me off.

In America, tipping IS expected. Servers make $2.65 per hour, wayyyy below the minimum federal wage of $7.25. 15% is the general rule, with 20% to be expected for good service. So for all you cheap bastards on here commenting about not expecting a tip, GET A CLUE. servers actually DO serve for the tips. its not because they love being someone's bitch and refilling their water glasses 10 times in a meal.
