Today, I was working in a restaurant. On the receipt under "tip" someone actually took the time to write out "$0.00." FML

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

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 had a customer write "fuck you" in the tip option area on his credit card slip, I have no idea why. FML

Today, I ordered take out, and paid with a credit card. The cute cashier gave me the receipt to sign, and under 'tip' I gave a couple of dollars. I realized that I had given too much, crossed it out, and changed it. Unaware she was watching, She then responded, "Did you just lower the tip by $1?" FML

Today, while working at a chain restaurant, I forgot to charge someone a few dollars for extra toppings on the side. My stingy boss took the time to take that money out of my paycheck. FML
Misunderstood Waitress

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'm a waitress. A customer came in and acted very kindly and even mentioned how I was such a help to her. She also mentioned leaving a nice tip. The tip? A fake $20. Thanks. FML

Today, after starting my new career as a server, two women were kind enough to leave a $5 tip… while still owing $6.84 on their bill. FML

People only do that when they want you to know they aren't tipping you because you did a crappy job.

Obviously you suck at your job. If they were cheap they wouldn't write anything. I make it even more obvious when someone sucks that bad. I give them 10 cents. YDI.

They would write something if they just wanted to make sure the restaurant couldn't write in their own tip.

um I do this most of the time and leave a cash tip. I feel like I have to write something in there to avoid having someone write it in there for me when I already left a tip.

When I leave a cash tip, I usually write "cash" in the tip spot, and notify the server there is cash on the table if I am not paying at the table, so they can take it before anyone else does.

If I leave a tip on the table, I will write $0 on the receipt on the tip line so the server can't decide to "double dip" by writing in a tip and changing the total. It happens....

They could have left cash (and if you were the server, someone else could have taken it). If they just didn't tip, that is wrong. There are very few circumstances where not tipping is acceptable; generally if service is that bad, they should let the manager know. Not having money is not an excuse...tipping needs to be factored in to the cost. I've never been a waitress, but I have been out with cheap and/or clueless people and hate when they don't tip, or don't tip enough.

I'm a tipper but I don't tip asshole servers that never come back to the table or never smile and act like they are there to make your exp a good 1, I used to work at a bar and my co-workers just expected a tip regardless of their attitude, Wow you poured the beer but you didn't brew it so get over yourself, try smiling and doing your job people will tip more!!!
