This server isn't holding back — they're spilling some piping hot tea about a local celebrity who's acting like a jerk at their restaurant. This VIP is drunk on power, as the OP, u/Capnmcquacken, shared to r/TalesFromYourServer. As the fed-up server writes, the restaurant they work at is a super popular taco spot in Michigan. They have tons of customers, and they also sponsor a race car driver, who the OP calls Randy. He's allowed to eat for free at this restaurant whenever he pleases, and he's…

While it's easy to agree with the sentiment that “You shouldn't be eating out if you can't afford to tip,” the last person you want to be hearing that message from is their boss who refused to pay them a living wage in the first place.

Traveling to customer sites to analyze defective products means traversing under a corporate travel policy. In this case, OP was given a certain allowance according to his company's corporate travel policy, which he followed vigorously. OP actually skimped out on expenses as much as possible to make sure he wasn't costing the company too much money, so he didn't even max out his allowance. That is until his boss called him into his office for a proper scolding after he had allegedly ‘overtipped…

This restaurant owner broke a cardinal rule of waiting tables, and it's wild that so many of his employees actually went along with his plan. It's a hallmark of American life that waiters and waitresses work mainly for tips. Over the years, tip prices keep rising higher as minimum wages have stagnated, and that has started frequent debates over tipping culture. In a story shared to r/AmItheA**hole, this desperate restaurant owner found a way to put some more cash in his own pocket. He shared th…

To tip or not to tip, that is the question for this coffee shop regular . And according to her barista, who posted about the experience on r/pettyrevenge, leaving a tip makes a big difference in how you get your drink. Tipping is very normal in the US, and it seems like more businesses than ever are relying on tip money to get by. But one place that tips have traditionally always been expected is coffee shops . Especially if you go to the same place every day or a few times a week, you definite…

To landlords, there are a few easy solutions for every problem. Leak in the ceiling? Paint over it. Hole in the drywall? Paint. Are paint costs getting a little too high? Rent hike– it's time to charge your loyal tenants 15% more every month for nothing. If you've ever been a renter, you know that some landlords (most actually) can be huge jerks. For some reason, landlords take the ‘lord’ portion of their title a little bit too far and expect their tenants to act as fiefdom under their ruling,…

Tipping culture in America is essential to keeping the service industry afloat. With most servers clocking in at minimum wage, tips are pretty much the main way that they earn their living. Not only that, but servers, especially bartenders, have to put up with a lot of entitled customers who thrive on being doted on and babied by their waitstaff and if you've ever worked in the service industry, you probably know, that guests who are rich and famous are usually also the worst. One witty bartend…

When you work in the service industry, you really get to see a different face of mankind, and it ain't pretty. The entire human population should work at least one week in customer service, in the hopes that it would influence them (AKA drive them crazy) enough that in the future, they treat people with kindness and respect. Alas, a lot of dude/ttes treat others miserably regardless of how rich and famous they are, because the fact of the matter is, people suck. If we're to talk about the custo…

While eating at restaurants, do you tip your waitstaff some of the time, all the time, or never? While the standards differ between countries and states, in America, tipping is just the way of life. Most waiters have to survive off tips, and they can rake in the cash if they get a busy shift full of generous diners. But one person had a question for the Redditors of r/TalesFromYourServer: “For American Servers - what bulls*** would stop today if you didn't work for tips? As in, you're paid a co…

Bad tipping, wasteful packaging, misleading ads, oh my!

The thought of being paid less than the legal minimum wage sounds outrageous to some people, especially to those outside of the US, but that's just how the bizarre nature of the US tipping culture works.

If you can't afford to tip, then you shouldn't be going out to eat. PERIOD.

Seriously?
