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

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 aren't entitled to a tip. Like, EVER. And that's life. Hope you got nothing that day and learned a lesson.

Thats what people get for expecting a tip. Tips are stupid anyway, we pay high prices and expect the service anyway so why should we pay anymore than that?

Exactly. The tip system is meant to encourage waiters to be friendly and helpful, but is not required in any way at all. The OP made a complete ass of himself, and deserves nothing.

That really sucks for you. I don't live in America, but from my understanding waitresses and waiters get minimal wage and rely on tips. You shouldn't have said that until he had paid. On one hand, sorry OP. On the other, you deserve it for being so open with your criticism.

As someone who used to work in the restaurant business, I understand your frustration. Don't judge so quickly though. Personally, I prefer to leave a tip in cash instead of on my card.
