Today, my waiter turned to me and asked, "Let me guess, Miss I'm-not-fat-I'm-fluffy wants a Diet Coke?" FML

Today, at lunch I ordered a Coke. The waiter replied, "Diet Coke?" and I corrected him saying, "No, regular Coke." He shook his head and said again, "Diet Coke." FML

Today, my boyfriend and I decided to stop by a drive-thru on the way to his place. I asked him to order a Coke for me, at which point he asked if I wanted to make it a Diet Coke. FML

Sorry, I didn't mean…
Today, I asked a girl at the restaurant I work at if she'd had enough to eat. When she said yes, I said, "Are you sure?" I didn't realize how insulting it sounded until her equally overweight mom was up in my face, demanding to see my manager. FML

Today, I ordered a Diet Coke with my meal from a fast food restaurant. Turns out, they didn't give me diet. My blood sugar spiked and I was sick for hours later. I'm a diabetic. FML

Thanks Karen
Today, I was taking a customer's order when she said she'd better go for a salad, because she was getting fat. She was actually very slim, so I told her she wasn't fat at all. She took one look at me and snorted, "Yeah, not compared to you, that's for sure." FML
first time at McDonald's in months...

Today, I was at McDonald's. As I left the counter with the food, I heard the cashier mutter, "Fat ass." I turned around and demanded to see the manager. Once he came and heard the situation, he looked at me and said, "Well, it's not like he's wrong, right?" FML

Today, while on a date, I accidentally ordered "diet water" instead of saying "diet coke". FML

Today, I was on cloud nine when the beautiful waitress I frequently ordered takeaways from told me she didn't need to take my name as she remembers me from before. When I got my food, I saw the sales slip. On it she had written, "Cheeseburger - Fries - Coke - Nerdy guy with bad haircut." FML

Today, I was at a work lunch, and the waiter brought me a soda I hadn’t ordered. I thought it was a free mistake, so I took a sip. It was actually my boss’s drink. As soon as I noticed, I tried to give it back, but he just stared at me and said, "It’s fine. I’ve already seen you drink it now." FML

Assume the worst, huh?
Today, I was sitting in McDonald's. A lady came up to me and started complaining about the bad service, and asked for the manager. I told her that I didn't work there. "But you must, someone that fat has to work here!" FML

I really hope you obeyed the cardinal rule of the food industry & waited til after you got your food before telling the waiter what you thought of them... If not, you ate something extra with your food... Pretty much gauranteed...

rude people always get social jobs-.-

134- I think people actually get rude after having social jobs. There are just far too many entitled and stupid people that shit on service industry workers. The waiter probably had plenty of customers that deserved to be spoken to like that in the span of a day, but taking it out on an innocent customer is passive aggressive. Unless OP actually was a bitch and only gave us half the story, which is entirely plausible. Especially if she was an self-entitled bitch, because they are always the victims and never do anything wrong. Just saying...

wow... I would have DEMANDED to see the manager right then & there. That is way out of line, that asshole would have been fired.

Somebody is planning on quitting their job.

And this is when we talk to the manager and get that jerk of a waiter busted. If you tell the manager one of his/her employees is being rude to you (and probably other customers, as well, if he's acting that way to one person it's unlikely you're the only one), that waiter will get in serious trouble. May even lose his job. Which he deserves. Food service is a customer-priority business, and he should NOT be working in that kind of place if that's how he treats people.

Ummm, I have one Honours degree, I have a skilled trade in environmentally friendly construction, and I still serve tables. I work Mon-Fri at my day job and am a waiter on weekends to make some extra money. I'm probably more intelligent than you'll ever be. Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to judge.

Intelligent waiters would know to keep their thoughts to themselves if they could potentially get them fired, so it's not too much an assumption to say that this waiter probably doesn't have a PhD.

I don't agree with this comment but it is funny!

To me it looks like the one person who was quick to judge was the waiter him/herself..so it would have been totally ok for OP to reply that way :) it was not an offense to all waiters, only to narrow minded, rude, stereotyping ones, and I'm sure it's not your case since you sound quite intelligent my friend..don't take it too personal (:

I thought wait staff made less than minimum wage?

56: To tell Squeaky Chipmunk that you are smarter than him is to judge and to judge harshly. Squeaky might have been better off altering the comment to avoid implying that waiters are all dumb, but it was a funny comment nonetheless, and maybe we should forgive him for it.

*her And I wasn't trying to imply that all waitresses/waiters are dumb. I was only giving an example of a witty retort to someone who was unnecessarily mean.

I would have told him back "Let me guess the smart ass waiter really doesn't want a tip today, or a job to come back tomorrow. "
