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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I ordered take out, and paid with a credit card. The cute cashier gave me the receipt to sign, and under 'tip' I gave a couple of dollars. I realized that I had given too much, crossed it out, and changed it. Unaware she was watching, She then responded, "Did you just lower the tip by $1?" FML
Today, I went into work to waitress on a table of 40 guests. They were my only table for the day and the bill came to over 700 dollars. After they left the busser was cleaning the table and threw out the credit card receipt which had my tip on it. FML
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 work, 5 minutes after I'd sent my help home, we got an 83 dollar order. I'm the only cook. FML
Today, I ordered pizza for dinner and left cash by the door so my son could pay for it, in case it arrived before I got home. I told him they should get all the money, but I just found the tip. Apparently he thought I'd miscounted. I'm a server. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant and only brought $14 with me to eat. I ordered and ate my meal, then went to the counter to pay for it. I threw $2 into the tip jar then got my bill. My bill was $13.86. I had to reach into the tip jar and take my $2 back so I could pay for my meal. 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, my parents came to the restaurant I work at as a waiter. After, I picked up the check to realize they had left me a $500 tip! We split the tips among the employees so I only got $50 back but I was still psyched. When I got home they asked me if I had noticed that they used my credit card. FML
Today, after about 8 hours of working and making huge orders, I received my share of tips. It was only a quarter. One single quarter. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

most people i know don't leave tips when they order food to go, i guess coz most of the work put into it was done by the cooks, not the waiter/waitress. or something like that.

People who works as waiters or in this case, delivery, they are paid below the standard pay. That is why they need all the tips, that's where like half, if not more, of their money comes from. She went out of her way to deliver this $135 order and got 40 cents. Don't serve that ungrateful bastard anymore. Should've gotten like $10 for tip or something. For deliverymen, I tip them a bit more cause they actually have to travel all the way to my house, even in crappy weather. People who think this is stupid, you try doing her job instead, you'll be complaining about low tips. Waiters and such are not on the bottom. Would you work that job? No. You'd think it's too low. Such jobs are hard work. I'd rather work a job like that and learn the hardships of living. To think that such an experience is low means that you're low yourself.

Being that its take out its understandable but the only way I don't tip when I am at a table and actually being waited on is if the service is horriffic if you give exceptional service I'll tip as much as 50%

the ignorance that has been displayed speaking on this topic is phenominal. People need to get their minds right and read what they are writing up here. Maybe you will see how increadibly stupid u are. Not tipping anyone who does YOU a service is a show of bad character and manners. so the next time you go out at least ACT as if u have class and tip your server!

for most full service and casual dinning restaurants take out servers have to do more than just "get a bag from the kitchen" most of them package your food, check the order for accuracy prepare side items condiments etc and provide everything you need. take out servers do not expect to make much on tips but in the event of a large order especially a tip should be given. there Is much more prep done than just "grabbing a dam bag from the kitchen" Jack asses

Hmm.. First it was a 3/4 naked picture. And now its a naked picture. No one cares what your sick of. And do you honestly think she deserves to get raped? Cuz in my opinion.. No one no matter how stupid.. Deserves to get raped. Yes I agree that her picture was not necessary. And it was very stupid to post it online. But that being said, wearing a bra and underwear is the same as wearing a bikini. And people who wear bikinis to the beach have just as much of a chance of getting raped as someone posting a picture like that online. Anyone could get raped just by going out in public or just by posting a picture online period. Even you. Her picture was none of your business.. It was her business and her parents business. And there was no need for you to go off like that. Your calling her a minor. But you were acting more like one than she was. She was commenting to the post. You were being a bitch. End of story.

10% on a take out order is pretty standard. Regardless of what you tip, the server has to tip out food runners, bussers, hostesses, bartenders, and where I work some of the kitchen staff a certain percentage of your SALES not tips. It's not really a big deal on small tabs, but something that large takes a long time to put together. I had a guy tip me
