Work and Money: Sharing is caring

Sharing is caring

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, 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 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 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, 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

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

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, my parents took me out to eat. When the bill came, they stared at me for a while before asking, “Aren’t you gonna pay?” They've never made me pay before, there was no indication that I’d have to pay this time, and I’d left my wallet at home. 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, after starting my new career as a server, two women were kind enough to leave a $5 tip… while still owing $6.84 on their bill. FML

Find dad and mom's wallets and take $1000 from them to pay your credit card bill plus some interest for you!

ALWAYS check the name on the credit card. How didn't you notice that? Usually when you run a credit card it tells you on the receipt whos name the credit card is in. Sorry about that though. :(

his parents didn't really do anything bad. it was just a small joke that went wrong but they should still give you the money back

"didn't do anything bad" WTF?!?!?!? How about Credit Card Fraud, Identity theft, and at least one or two other things against the LOLlaw...

your parents suck, there have been so many times my mums used my card to pay for her things because she asked me first and i said ok, but using without asking you, is just wrong,. i am so lucky to have my mum, ive read so many fcuked up stories about parents i thought would never do.

FAKE! So fake. Nobody is stupid enough to accept $500 from their parents when they know they will have to split it. You say "Hey Mom and Dad can you give me this cash when I get home?" I can't believe this got through. It is the fakest post I've seen in a long time.
