Today, some guy walked into the restaurant I work at and ordered enough food to serve the entire National Guard of Texas. He thanked us by leaving a $0.50 tip and shitting on the bathroom floor. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was working in a restaurant. On the receipt under "tip" someone actually took the time to write out "$0.00." FML
Today, at my job as a waiter I sharted myself while taking an order. They tipped me $20 and wrote "for new underwear" on the receipt. 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, while at the restaurant I work at, a bunch of kids came in. They all gave incredibly complex orders, laughed at everything I did, and made a huge mess by "spilling" hot sauce and water all over the floor. After they left, I was tipped eleven cents. 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 was taking a table's order. After I finished, the guy told me, "Just FYI, I'm not a tipper." Trying to lighten up the situation, I replied, "It's amazing how many people forget I handle their food." He complained to the manager that I'd threatened him. FML
Today, while working at my truck stop, I helped a trucker check his tires. He seemed like a pretty nice guy, and we chatted for a bit. After he took off and I walked back inside, I went to clean the shower he was in before. Turns out he took a shit on the floor. His wife had been in there with him. 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, while at my shitty, minimum wage job at McDonalds, a guy walked out of the bathroom. He said "Good luck in there." worriedly, then left. I don't know if it was his handiwork, but it looked like a shit grenade had detonated. It was even on the walls. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Looks like that's the perfect time to slip out on your break or lunch.

That's an awkward experience, I certainly hope this isn't a normal occurrence where you work. I hope you get better tips and customers in the future

As a fellow restaurant employee... I can vouch some restaurant customers can be just the worst kind of people. I hope it wasn't you that had to clean up that mess!! And whenever I receive such horrible tips (especially with tips as change/coins) I always give it back to them like oh and here's your change!). They must obviously need it more than you do. Meh.

That's pretty rude to be honest, those people are presenting you with their own generosity at their expense and you, what, give it back because you want more money? Tips are a luxury for good service, maybe you'd get better tips if you served people better, rather than complaining about tips!

I'll never be able to understand some people. You don't treat your home this way, so why is it acceptable to go into a public restroom, shit on the floor, leave giant pads/tampons in the toilet, not flush etc? It's ******* DISGUSTING.

I've never understood why tip amounts correlate with the price of a meal. Why do I need to tip more for a $25 steak over a $10 burger. The waiter provided no extra service, they merely carried the plate. In a perfect world the chef with the actual skill would be tipped.

t's not a perfect system, but in general, a more expensive meal requires a more expensive tip because the more money spent in general correlates to a longer meal. You're going to spend more time sitting and enjoying a steak than a burger, and a steak is more expensive than a burger. If you're in a large group, you're probably also going to take longer than a small group to enjoy your meal, along with having a bigger bill.

You tip more on a bigger meal because your server has to tip out more on it. At most restaurants, your server has to tip out the busser based on a percentage of their sales (say 2%). If you tip $2 on a $10 meal, they have to tip out 2% of that $10. If you tip $2 on a $25 meal, they still have to tip out 2%, so when you undertip or don't tip based on your philosophical ideals, you're screwing a person who makes below minimum wage. The place I work does not do an automatic gratuity on large checks, so it's not uncommon for large parties of cheap people to pick our establishment to patronize because they can run the server ragged, get everything they want and then leave $5 on a $300 check because they suck. In effect, when you don't tip or tip very poorly, I am paying for the "pleasure" of waiting on you. It's a shitty system, yes, but until the greedy people who own restaurants change the way they pay their employees, it's the way it is.
