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 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

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.

I REALLY disagree with people saying that even waiters/resses who do their job poorly should get a tip, even a small one. I don't care if it's their only form of income. If they're shitty at what they do, they should have something to tell them that they need to get a different ******* job, eg. no tips.

#57 I am a strong believer that if you make less than a waiter, then you don't have enough money to be eating out. If you don't have enough to tip the server after the meal, then maybe you shouldn't be spending your money eating out. Buy yourself some cheap noodles instead. Tipping is a social custom which most associate with politeness. The only time I'd never leave a tip is if the server was extremely rude or inattentive. Otherwise they'll at least get something. Although, I would feel much worse for the customer than waiter in this instance. You mustn't have been in customer service for very long. I believe the general rule in this area is to never complain about customers on the floor, where they can, you know, hear you. So yeah, you were kinda dumb. I agree with the people saying he should've taken back $25 from your tip.

A tip IS NEVER REQUIRED. It has to be earned.

#34, Plenty of people show their GRATITUDE by leaving more than the typical 15-20%. If for the last 2 years, as a bartender in a very small neighborhood bar, I only made 20% on my sales I wouldn't still be there. I typically get 30-40%. A lot of times even as much as 50 or 100% if its one of my regulars. Just today I rang up a regular for 3 beers. His total bill was 6 dollars, he gave me 21 and told me to keep it. It is fairly common for people who aren't cheap asses to tip very well.
