Today, I was out to dinner with a friend. When the bill came with a customer satisfaction survey, I put honestly that the "server friendliness" was "below average." Ten minutes later, I had to return to the restaurant to beg the waitress for my keys, which I had left on the table. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at work, I got to wait on one of those tables where everyone had very complex orders, and some of them sent their food back. When the time finally came for me to bring them their check and receive my well-earned tip, I returned only to discover that they'd dined and dashed. FML
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, my friend and I went to a really expensive restaurant. We got really bad service, so halfway through the meal we decided to dine-and-dash. Turns out I left my purse in the restaurant. With my I.D. and everything inside. FML
Today, I took a friend out for what I thought was date. After dinner was over and I paid, she pulled the bill out and wrote her name phone number on it for the waiter. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant with my friend, where my credit card got denied in front of everyone. The staff teased me and made me sit in the restaurant while my friend begged for money outside. FML
Today, I went to a club with some friends. I ordered two drinks from the waitress and gave her a fifty. She never returned with the change, and the rest of the staff claimed they didn't know who I was talking about. FML
Today, I was at a goodbye dinner with friends before I move back to America. A friend called to cry over relationship problems she refuses to fix. While I was outside trying to politely get off the phone, my friends ate and drank everything I'd ordered and closed the bill. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant to order food with just a $100 bill. They no longer had what I came for, so I left. When I got to my car, I realized - no bill. I went back in for them to say they hadn't seen it, and they wouldn’t check the cameras. I know the lady working there picked it up since I was the only customer. 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, I served my good friend and his girlfriend at the restaurant where I work. They did a "dine and dash". FML

I would've talked to the bitch's boss. If you were being honest, and then you had to BEG for your keys because she saw, then maybe, just maybe, the bitch should've been fired.

You reap what you sow (as in planting in the ground).

Wow, way to misspell a totally misplaced piece of advice! Anyway, I was a server for a couple of years and I probably wouldn't have gotten upset if this happened to me. They get those surveys all the time. And I'll bet not all of them are good.

It's what my little brother used to say in every situation. He thought it had to do with needle-thread sewing.

Why did she take you keys? that bitch.....isn't that illegal? because she's taking your property I also would have talked to that failure of a waitresses boss if I were you.

he left his keys on the table... and when you clean tables your supposed to take what they leave behind... put it in the lost and found you know... op: i'm a waitress... we all have our days, and the costomers aren't always that nice... but i think it was rude of her to take it out on you by not giving you your keys back

Even so, if u do have to take whats on the table, she should have given the key's back regardless, so this just show's that u were speaking honestly on the survey XD

Too funny!

OP, seriously. YDI. Why not just tell the bitch to give you your keys. Instead, you "begged". Pussy.

Bull shit. I'm a waiter, and If someone left me that response, I wouldn't be mad, I'd wanna know why lol. [That wouldn't happen to me, I'm an excellent waiter.] This isn't an FML in my opinion.

Nah, he was being honest, it's helpful when people are honest so some peopel know how to improve. If they didn't want honestly, why give the survey?

how the hell did he deserve that!? Surveys are meant to help management see where they need improvement. If everyone gives them a perfect score even though their service is not up to par things will never change. What I don't get is why there wasn't anyone else you could have asked to retrieve your keys? Or requested a manager be called?

Well, unfortunate, but it's not like the waiter could have done anything. If he wasn't being friendly, then he can't exactly moan about being called unfriendly. You were right to be honest in the survey.

DON'T FEED IT! And I hope that you contacted the owner of the place if you had to beg for your keys back.
