Today, I left my number on my receipt for a cute waitress. As I was leaving the bar, she came running out and called me over. I obviously got excited. Turns out I'd forgotten to sign my slip. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, while working as a waitress, an attractive woman sat at one of my tables. When she paid, I decided to be bold and write my number and "Call me" on her receipt. She put in a complaint to my manager. FML
Today, my friend and I went to a bar for drinks. I noticed this cute girl and went over to say "Hi." I had a great conversation with her and I asked for her number before she left. She passed it to me on a piece of paper with instructions specifying for my friend to call her and not me. FML
Today, I accidentally left my cell phone at the restaurant. When I realized my mistake, I went back to see if anyone had found it. They said no, so I gave them my number to call if it turned up. I realized later that I'd given them my cell phone number. FML
Today, I was eating at Steak N' Shake. I noticed that the cute waitress was checking me out. When I was done with my meal she wrote her number on the ticket. So, as I was walking out the door, I turned around to wave at her, and walked into a metal bar next to the door. FML
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, while I was leaving a restaurant, the very handsome waiter, whom I had been trying to hit on all night, said to me, in front of everyone, "Why did you write your phone number on the table with hearts around it? You know I won't call you." FML
Today, I realized that I accidentally said my phone number wrong when I was giving it to a really smart, cute guy with all the same interests as me that I met at a bar last night. I'd had a few drinks and had gotten the middle three digits mixed up. FML
Today, I had a really cute waitress at lunch. I decided to leave my number and a $50 bill for a $15 check. When I left the restaurant I realized I still had the $50 but a $1 bill was missing from my wallet. I've been getting threatening text messages all day. FML
Today, I was so drunk that I gave my mom's number instead of mine to the really cute guy I met at the bar. FML

Why Must People Type Like This? I Always Read Each Word Like It's The Start Of A New Sentence. Does Anyone Else Do That?

You should have serenaded her! "Hey I just met you, and this is crazy! But here's my number, so call me maybe!"

It's actually not an easy situation. Waitstaff makes most of their money by basically 'being nice' to their customers. It can be very difficult to tell when that line has crossed over from being 'professionally nice' to being 'personally nice'. The flip side of course is they are really in a bad position to tell someone who's being just a tad too pushy to **** off because their money is on the line. I'd actually love to hear what some folks in the industry have to say, anyone in the biz have a comment?

On my first day as a waitress, one of the older ones told me to just act sympathetic and say something like, "I'm sorry, hun, but my boyfriend wouldn't like that much." Boyfriend is better than husband because a lack of ring is obvious, and it implies that maybe one day I'll be single and just desperate for a guy who regularly makes passes at strangers.

So they call it "signing the slip" now, do they? I can never keep up with these things. Congrats on signing her slip OP!

Or maybe she wanted him to sign it so he legally paid for his meal. I know, crazy thought!

Unless you really hit it off with her, she probably wont call you. Im a waitress and Ive never called any of the guys that left me numbers over the years because they really dont talk much while youre serving them. However, i have given out my # to a few guys that ASKED for it because they were self assured enough to chat and flirt while they were there. So hopefully op youll get a call, but it might not happen bud. Waitresses will also do some flirting/take a number to make a good TIP, so its hard to tell (trust me :)
