Today, my boyfriend and I went to a restaurant so I could apply for a job, and we decided to eat there. After we finished, I went to start the car. When we got home, I asked him how much the bill came to. Apparently he didn't pay. I had already given them my completed application. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. When it came time for us to leave, I saw him write something on the receipt for our waitress. I managed to get a quick look; it was his number. FML
Today, I went out with a friend to grab some food and we were served by this really cute and fun waiter. Stepping out of my comfort zone and deciding to do something crazy, I left my phone number on the bill. I got home only to realize that I forgot to pay the bill. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I had a lovely dinner date. Our waitress was really sweet, so we talked about leaving her a big tip. When we got home, we discovered we both thought the other person had left it. FML
Today, my boyfriend came to my work, at a drive thru, in my car, and then got mad at me because I wouldn't give him free food. In his anger, he put my car in reverse and backed out of line very quickly, only to smash into a paying customer. FML
Today, I was on a first date. When the bill came, he refused to pay for my $6 salad. I had to go ATM-hunting to pay for my $6 salad. FML
Today, my boyfriend was seated in my section at work. As he sees me his face drops... he's on a date. He had forgotten I work there. I had to serve him and his date, and they didn't leave a tip. FML
Today, I went on a dinner date with the guy I like. He ate all his food then started eating off my plate, going on to eat over half of my food. When the bill came, he made me pay for it. FML
Today, I went to Waffle House to talk to the manager about getting a job. My boyfriend now wants to beat up the manager for giving me his number so that I can call him whenever I'm done filling in the application. FML
Today, I got into a heated argument at a restaurant with a guy I am seeing because he refused to let me pay for the bill and I thought it was sexist. When he finally agreed, I gave the waiter my card, only to have him return a minute later telling me it was declined. FML
Today, I got a chance to have dinner and a movie with a girl I've liked for a while. I ran late, so in a hurry to make the movie, and trying to be smooth for her, I told the waiter I'd "take care of him" if he made it fast. He did. When he brought the check, I realized I had forgotten my wallet. FML

Genuine mistake because he thought you'd paid or arsehole? Go back, pay and offer a sincere apology either way.

This actually guarantees you getting the job, as you will now have to work off the debt.

maybe theyll let you work for the money you now owe them?

Just call them and pay with your credit card. Stuff happens, don't compound your oversight by stealing their food.

Is the FML that you won't get the job now or that they have your contact details so they can track you down for the money?

You may or may not get the job

I don't think there are any other possibilities for applying at a job

Just go back and explain, genuine mistake. They happen, they might even admire the fact you went back.

I hope you went back and explained yourself and offered them compensation. If you didn't go back then you deserve the bad karma.

Go back, pay the bill and explain the situation. Surely they'll understand the mistake and still give you a chance at the job.

The person that waited on you may not know that you applied. But the right thing to do would be to go back and pay.

It would look better for you if you went back and explained. You might still have a chance.

Is your bf stupid? That was a dick move.

Why would you think its a bad move that her boyfriend did not pay. Sometimes I would pay when I was dating. Usually without telling the other person to avoid the "no, I will pay" conversation.

we dont know OP. maybe her boyfriend is the type that always picks up the bill. maybe they had agreed that he would pay. or maybe op assumed her boyfriend did what you do and pick up the bill without the other knowing. there's a ton of possibilities.
