Today, I was working my shift at a fancy restaurant and it had been a really hard day. My parents came in to have dinner and surprise me. After paying, they left a note saying they would see me at home. It also said "By the way, no tip, because you stink at serving." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I started my job as a waiter. I was excited when my first customer paid for the bill. I go over to the table, half-expecting a tip. I got to the table and no money was on the table. On the bottom receipt was written: "Ever heard of deodorant?" Apparently I smell bad. Thanks for the tip. FML
Today, at the restaurant I work at, my own mom refused to give a tip and complained to my boss. FML
Today, my horrible parents turned up to the restaurant I work at just to mess with me. Dad forgot his wallet, what a surprise, and asked me to pay the bill. I refused so my manager got involved. My dad got arrested, I got fired and might lose my lousy flat if I’m late on the rent. 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, while I was working as a waitress, I had to wait on a table of 13 people. I was struggling through it and when they finally left I went by the table to pick up my tip. Instead of a money I got a napkin saying, "Here's your tip, don't be a waitress." FML
Today, my mom and I went out to a fancy and expensive restaurant per her request; she told me it was her treat. After we ate our meals and the large check came, she excused herself to the bathroom. She didn't come back. I was dine-and-dashed by my own mother. FML
Today, I was waitressing for a huge family. Their bill was $750. Excited about the tip, I was shocked to see only $0.50. As they were leaving, I threw the two whole quarters at their heads. Guess who also got fired today. FML
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 was working in a restaurant. On the receipt under "tip" someone actually took the time to write out "$0.00." FML
Today, while at the restaurant I work at, a bunch of kids came in. They all gave incredibly complex orders, laughed at everything I did, and made a huge mess by "spilling" hot sauce and water all over the floor. After they left, I was tipped eleven cents. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Can't blame you. I hate it when family/friends come in to "surprise" me. That's not happily surprising someone, that's rubbing their recreational freedom in your face and then leaving without you.

WAIT, did you serve them well? Because you left that part out. Mabye they were right? YDI anyways, they paid you enough while you were growing up.

literally kick your dad in the nuts and punch your mom in the ovaries when you see them. if you've ever worked in the restaurant business, you'd understand that no one deserves to be stiffed on a tip.

I used to work in a restaurant, and yes, some people deserve to be stiffed. Especially when they suck. So ydi for sucking at your job, not because your parents didn't tip you.

That's a blow to the self esteem when your parents refuse to tip you.

I had to vote for both. On one hand, you are related to assholes, so your life sucks. But on the other hand, if not even your parents would tip you then you must really stink.

Well, OP said it was a long and hard day. It must have been a relief to be able wait on people you would think she wouldn't HAVE to impress. So, she probably didn't do as well as she normally does.

That is what I was thinking. She probably didnt even expect a tip from her parents so she just slacked off a bit. No harm in that. Hey, going to the table too much may even seem like it's interfering with the job so.
