Today, I was working as a waitress at this pub. It was dead. After 4 hours I had only made 5$ in tips. A friendly couple came in and complimented EVERYTHING down to the freshness of the lemons in their tea. The bill came to $50. They left me a $5 gift card to starbucks. I don't drink coffee. FML

Well, there's tea and pastries there, too, yanno. I always get a Chai when I go there. No reason to be completely thankless.

Ooh, burn! I was tipped with toothbrushes once. Hey cool, number 1 =D

So you are crying about getting 5 dollars.......You are incredibly full of yourself, they aren't required to tip you anything bitch.

you are strange, waiters live off their tips and how would you like it if you did 4 hours of work and got 5 dollerz to a shop u dont visit. yeah. idiot. and did OP say they were crying? no. they posted an fml about it.

This wasnt even worth reading

I agree with the OP! I am a waitress, and it SUCKS when you live off tips and bust your ass for people who half of the time just complain about stuff beyond your control! I have once gotten a handful of change (about 40 cents) for a 60 dollar bill. Its shit - people need to realise that waitresses get paid very little and some actually have to pay out to the kitchen for the food they serve! A 5 dollar giftcard that they probably had in their wallet for a while is NOT a tip! FYL indeed, sorry about the shitty night!

They have more than just coffee at Starbucks. You should be grateful with what you've got, stop complaining.

At least Starbucks serves pastries too, and they were being nice. :] though if its only off tips, that sucks

They did get you something anyway :3 Starbucks has bread too...

Whoop-de-*******-doo. Your life is average

You do realize they sell other things? They could have left nothing except a mess for you. This isn't an FML, stop being so greedy.

yeah, kinda sucks. maybe they ran out of money but still wanted to leave a tip? oh well, go get a chai- they're fantastic.

At least you got something from them and besides it's not like coffee is the only thing at Starbucks. There are the blended cream frappuchinos and hot chocolate and apple cider and the pastries and all those things. There isn't coffee in every single drink
