Today, my boyfriend brought me to a restaurant on a surprise date. I guess he didn't know that my ex-boyfriend now works there, and that he would be our waiter for the evening. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went to dinner at my parents' house. I was going to surprise them by introducing them to my new boyfriend. They decided to surprise me too, by inviting my ex to the dinner. Everyone was surprised tonight. 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 took a date to a new restaurant I’d never been to before. Wish I had been because it turns out two of my ex-girlfriends work there as waitresses. Luckily they were amicable break-ups, but it was still hella awkward every time they brought stuff to the table. FML

Today, I was on a date with a guy I've been crushing on. In the middle of the dinner, he said he had to go get something from his car. When I asked what it was, he smiled and said it was a surprise. I waited for my surprise for half an hour. Then I decided to pay the bill and go home and cry. FML
Today, my date bumped into her ex-husband, who decided to join us for the rest of the dinner. FML

Some people spit in food, it happens and they can do it very discreetly, however I agree with hoping for good service and good tipping as a sign of good will, one of my exes from a long time ago and his new partner came in to my work and I double shot their first drinks at no extra charge, nothing major but a nice gesture all the same

Hopefully the relationship ended on nice enough terms for him to not lace the order

It's also possible that the ex worked at this restaurant since before he became an ex but the current boyfriend did not know because op hasn't discussed her ex's with him.

The question is, how did you know that your ex works at this restaurant beforehand and how did you expect your current bf to know the same thing before planning the evening? Someone is still in contact with their ex...

Maybe they were all friends/knew each other before? There are many reasons as to why the ex girlfriend would have known and why the new boyfriend could have known too. But either way, why is it bad even if the girlfriend still talks to her ex? Just because a couple broke up doesn't mean they can't still be friendly and talk. Sure, if it ended badly, fair enough, but most of my friends are still friends with their exes (eg. my sister still talks to her ex-boyfriend because they were together for six years, my boyfriend still talks to his ex with whom he's also been six years before. There was no reason for either cases to be "unfriendly" or to freeze each other out).

True, there's nothing wrong with someone talking to their ex depending on the nature of the interaction. However, most of the people I know that still talk to their exes, such as one of my exes, do it because they haven't really moved on or are still attached emotionally, which is why I think it bothers a lot of people when their current bf/gf are talking to an ex.

If anything it's the bigger FML moment for the ex. Not only did his ex show up at his workplace where he can't escape or ignore her, she was also on a dinner date with her new boyfriend. I wouldn't be surprised if the boyfriend knew and did it on purpose though.

Unless they are friends (in which case he would not do it on purpose) I don't see how the bf could have really known about her ex working there
