Work: Little *****

Little *****

By MLZ - 30/07/2010 20:00 - United States

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

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, at work, I served a group of three teens. Their tab was $75 and they tipped me nothing. They wrote a thank you on a piece of receipt paper, put it in a glass of water and used a coaster to turn the glass of water upside down on the table, spilling water everywhere. They also stole my pen. 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

No tip for you

Today, I was feeling sick but went into my waitressing job because I'd already missed 3 days this week. I was dizzy and managed to spill a tray of drinks all over the customers. Then, when their food was done, I tripped and spilled hot chili all over the man's lap. 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

The Fall

By Anonymous - 09/05/2019 18:00

Today, as a restaurant hostess, I fell into the fountain at work while carrying a high chair in front of several large parties, who all promptly laughed at me. We were so busy, I had to stay and finish my shift soaking wet. FML

Today, I started my first day as a waitress. After getting my ass slapped, drinks and food spilled over me, and being tripped by a bratty kid, my tips were stolen. FML

Tipped off

By Anonymous - 30/09/2014 23:42 - United States - Richmond

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

Did I teach you NOTHING?

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

It's ok, OP. You should be proud you didn't stoop to their level and spit in their food or something like that. :) Remember the saying: when one door closes, be grateful it didn't open and hit you in the face!

100- they were probably just messing around you don't know the full story so you shouldn't be getting mad I'm just saying that she said they were kids so she shouldn't complain if she said they're kids what can you expect from a kid? she got tipped didn't she?

119, you yourself being a teen - or so it looks from your current picture - would not be able to properly process the entire point. YOU find it hilarious to act like an ass and treat people like shit. Maybe you don't, but judging from your previous comments, you apparently do. OLDER or more MATURE people find the behaviour the kids presented was not only atrocious but severly annoying. Also, an eleven cent tip? What the hell is up with that? What are you going to be able to buy with eleven cents that will benefit either productively or healthily to yourself? See, I tried to keep it basic and simple to understand. And NO those kids were not just trying to have they were having the "Who's the bigger douchebag?" Contest. ----- Sorry OP, that must suck. :
