Today, while at work, a customer gave me a $20 tip. I explained to him we aren't allowed to accept tips, but he insisted. When I called the manager to report it, he pocketed my tip. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was taking out a customer's groceries when he offered me a $5 tip. I told him I couldn't accept, since it's against store policy, but thanked him anyway. He called me an asshole just as my boss was walking to his car, who then yelled at me for it. FML
Today, I helped a very large elderly man, who thanked me and tried to hand me a dollar bill. I kindly told him, "We are not allowed to accept tips from customers." His reply was, "You're going to take this fucking money," and shoved it in my pocket. I'm now being written up for it. FML
Today, I was at my work. To urge people to be generous, I paid my friends to put 15 bucks in the tip jar while saying how great I was. He did this about ten times throughout the day. Turns out, us employees don't get to keep the tips. FML
Today, I was accused of stealing when I dropped a $20 bill in front of my boss. His logic: I'm too poor to have a $20 bill and there's no way it was a tip, since our customers are "so stingy". It was a tip and it was going to get me through the rest of the month. He won't give it back. FML
Today, a customer handed me a 100 dollar bill. He then told me that it was my tip for doing a good job. He snatched it away just as I touched it, laughed, and said, "Just kidding." He then took his money and left the store. FML
Today, at work, a man bought a lot of really expensive stuff. He paid the large bill with cash, and the manager helped me count the money. When we were done, he handed me a $100 bill to thank me for all the help. We can't accept tips. The manager was next to me. I had to say no. 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, at work, a customer asked for my number. When I declined, he made a huge scene, shouting and scaring other customers. He tipped me seven cents. FML
Today, I got a lot of tips at work, but little did I know our boss takes it out of our paychecks. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That happened to me at Walmart every now and then when I worked as a cashier. People would offer to buy me a snack or soda, but I would always decline. It's not worth getting fired over.

You dumbass, you should have taken the ******* tip. What are you, too much of a rich-bitch to take it even if he's been THAT persistent about it? Just graciously accept it and don't be a ******* idiot. YDI all the way.

Consider that the "stupid tax." Tax rates on the stupid are very high because they don't have any lobbyists on Capitol Hill. They did hire a bunch of homeless bums loitering in hotel lobbies to represent them in Congress, because they are, y'know. . . stupid.

YDI. You should have just accepted the tip without being a goody two-shoes! How would your manager have known?

Because it's entirely plausible that there were security cameras or witnesses? Or that the customer could return at a later date, and casually mention that they tipped OP for their good service, to a blabbermouth co-worker, or even to the manager himself? The amount of people on here who think "omg free money keep it wtf is wrong with you" clearly have no idea what they are talking about. Or maybe jobs have become very easy to come by, and that if you lose one over twenty bucks, it's a synch to find another one in this economy.
