Today, I started my new job at a restaurant I really like. As I waited on my first customer, I suggested that he try the apple pie, because it's my favourite. He looked up at me and said, "Yeah? Figures! Lay off 'em, porky!" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I waited tables for the first time at my new restaurant job. I asked a group of older men what they would like. One replied, "A slice of that ass". I'm 19 and a guy. FML
Today, I saw a customer at the restaurant I work at lovingly petting his cheeseburger and whispering sweet promises to it. 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, at work, I put on a smile and went to take an elderly gentleman's order. He looked at me, asked if I'd stick a finger in his sweet tea to make it sweeter, then complained that it was a shame I wasn't "on the menu". FML
Today, I bought my mother an apple pie. She made a face at it and said that she'd decided to go on a diet. After I'd left the house, she put it in the oven, forgot about it, and burnt it to a crisp. She then called me up to inform me that I'd wasted my money, and to get her "another damn pie." FML
Today, at work, I gave ice cream to a kid and apple pie to his dad. The kid decided to grab a literal handful of the dad’s pie which was steaming hot. Cue the kid screaming and the dad yelling at me for not telling his kid that the dessert, that WASN'T HIS, was hot and he shouldn’t touch it. FML
Today, at my new job, I took some food out to a customer. Walking away, I heard a lady mumble, "Oh my God, you could never pay me enough to wear that." FML
Today, working at a fast food restaurant, I was berated by a customer for a good two minutes. It's okay though because she ended with, "Sorry, I forget you all are real people." FML
Today, while working at a sandwich shop, we had a shortage and could only put so many veggies on one sandwich. I explained this to one man who was grumpy about it, but kept on ordering. I thought everything went well. He thought my face was a good target to launch his completed sandwich at. FML
Today, my boss threatened to fire me. Why? An old lady spent 30 minutes looking at our menu before asking for "cottage pie." After telling her that it wasn't an item on the menu, she spent another 20 minutes deciding. She then asked for several more items we didn't have, then complained to my boss. FML

people are not smart to be rude to the people who handle their food.

This is the only time that I recommend poor service. He only deserves the worst you can give.

There's a limit to what service workers should put up with. And I've seen some restaurants/stores with signs saying "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."

Only can get better from there though, right? :) Assholes will be assholes, try to not take it seriously.

What an asshole. Over charge him when you give him the bill.
ElricMustang 23
Yeah, because that'll help. All it will do it cause a scene and probably have OP fired. Why let him win again?

That would probably get him his food on the house if he realizes and tells a manager. What a horrible idea.

If he's an asshole customer, I'm sure the manager wouldn't mind op charging the asshole more. You have to stand up for yourself. You guys have a better resolution?? I don't hear one... Customers are assholes most of the time. I work in retail. I know

THIS is why I hate people. Having to work with them is the worst.

I'd never be rude to someone that is about to serve my food. I have an aversion to spit in my food.

Well it's not your fault. No one can resist a crisp cinnamon apple pie hot and fresh out the oven. I know I can't, maybe I'm just lucky to have a fast metabolism…
