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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

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.

U do realize with the current economy people r forced to take any job they can get and yes minimum wage is a little over 7 an hr but if u read the labor posting at work it also states server minimum is 2.13 an hr it is rude to say that bcuz they r paid low its not ur prob these people provide i good service make sure your food is properly cooked b4 it is delivered to ur table so if ur food comes out burnt its not the servers prob

Tipping is derived from bribes that rich mafia people would give to servers in the early days of restaurants in America. They would normally refuse them as it was "un-American" until the depression when the owners of the restaurants began encouraging the servers to take the money so they could pay them less. Then restaurants became available to the common man and tipping was ingrained in the service but it actually makes the whole process for server and patron much less enjoyable. I recommend places that forbid tipping and pay their servers properly in the first place instead of putting the salary on the customer.

In Australia you're not supposed to expect any type of tip.

He wasn't required to give you any tip at all so you should be grateful for what you got.
