Today, my friend and I went to a really expensive restaurant. We got really bad service, so halfway through the meal we decided to dine-and-dash. Turns out I left my purse in the restaurant. With my I.D. and everything inside. 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 eat out. When I sat down, I realized I forgot my straw. I took my purse with me, not wanting it to get stolen. Someone stole my food instead. FML

Today, some friends and I went to IHOP. We joked about not having enough money, and as it turns out we were $5 short. We put down what we had and left. Upon getting to the car, I realized I'd forgotten my phone, and had to go back. I made eye contact with our waitress, our money in her hand. FML

Why would you EVER think that was okay? "Oh, the service sucks, I'll just steal the food." YDI.

******* seriously? You deserve this. Even if the service was bad, a server shouldn't have to pay for the meal you ate. They might not have done a good job, but they WORKED. Servers only get their tips, no hourly pay, so you're not just 'not tipping' the server, you're stealing the cost of the meal and they're not making any money AT ALL from the work they did to feed you. If the service is really that bad, talk to a manager. How would you like it if you did your job, and because someone didn't think you did that well, you have to pay them instead of getting paid?

Actually, servers normally get an hourly wage plus tips. They just get a VERY low one, like $3.00 an hour. OP: YDI and a whole lot more! Thanks, Jazaray

uh #42...servers get wage...our wage is significantly below minimum wage becasue it's assumed that tips will make up for that. obviously this is still unacceptable but we do make an hourly wage.

You completely deserved that. Even if the service sucked, you can't just leave and get a free meal. Not only are you making the waiter pay for your meal, you made yourself look like a asshole.

Do you expect us to believe that you jumped the check because of bad service? You wanted a free meal and decided this was the easy way to get one. My advice is to get a lawyer and start brokering a deal now. Maybe you'll avoid jail time, but not if I'm on the jury.

#47--I'm a server, and I have NEVER received money on a paycheck. I get a wage if $2.13 an hour, and it isn't enough to cover my tax deductions and stuff. It's crap. And the writer deserves it. And in this economy, all the server's going to think is that you're cheap trash for not paying. I hope they charge your credit card for the meal and tip themselves 50% on it.
