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

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.

Was there cash on the table? When I pay by card, I sometimes tip in cash and so make sure the tip field on the receipt is filled in so people can't write in a tip after I've left.

that's so that the person working there can't fill in whatever they want. I do that to and then leave bills on the table. youre a retard.

I do that when I can't afford to tip. I know people that would write in a tip if someone left it blank.

What are you doing eating at a restaurant if you can't afford to tip? I feel so bad for waitresses and waiters and anyone who works in the food business because lots of greedy bossy rude people come by and hardly ever leave tips, and earning minimum wage for dealing with that all the time isn't enough. It causes too much stress because all people think about are themselves. If anything, I always tip, but wish I could afford to tip MORE.

Then you're rude. Go to a Taco Bell if you can't afford to tip. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Boo hoo! Welcome to the service industry! People who leave these fml's act like they're the only people who haven't gotten tipped before

FYL OP. I'm a bartender at a hotel and people do that to me all the time. I once heard a guy say "I didn't tip because their drinks are overpriced and they get a cut of that anyways" but we don't. Some people are just cheap.

Some people do that to stop idiot waiters from writing their own tip. Some guy at a local restaurants who served my family (who was really mean and sucked) wrote himself his own tip (Of 100 dollars) because we left the tip area blank.

Tipping is a way to show someone they did an excellent job. It should not be expected from every person that you serve no matter what. Just like any other business consumers vote with their money and you just got voted off the island.

That should be illegal, you know? Maybe it's just my serious anxiety issues but I've been forced to work as a waitress (upper camp had to wait lower camp and staff tables six times a week for four of my summers) and it was the worst experience I've ever had. I'd never not tip a waiter, because if I had their job, I'd've left every five minutes to have a panic attack, and faking happiness just worsens the stress. I'm probably alone in this, but I just had to say it.

I agree 75. But anyway, I'm sure they just didn't want you writing in a tip if they left it blank. Not that I would risk losing my job, and possibly risking charges being filed over a few bucks, but not everyone is that bright...
