Man accuses friends of micromanaging the expenses on their vacation, they claim they shouldn't pay for what he overly spends, he refuses to go on future trips as a result: ‘I can't do this’

Man accuses friends of micromanaging the expenses on their vacation, they claim they shouldn't pay for what he overly spends, he refuses to go on future trips as a result: ‘I can't do this’

Going out with a large group of friends is great fun until the bill comes along and you all have to decide how to pay in a way that will please everyone. There is always one person who can't be bothered with doing the math and just wants to split the bill evenly between everyone, and another who didn't even eat anything and thinks it's unfair that they have to pay the same amount as everyone else. That is why I recommend electing a designated calculating friend who is fine with doing all the ma…

Food company sends quality control team cheaper sauce, then ignores their warning about low quality and releases it anyway: ‘The customers won't taste the difference’

'If it ain't broke don't fix it' could not be any more clear, and yet many companies, especially in the food industry, keep trying to change things that don't need changing. Surely, every single one of us can think of a food product that we used to love, but then something about it changed and suddenly tasted disgusting. I'm sure it will not come as a surprise to know that companies do that because they are trying to reduce costs and use cheaper products. And when you use cheaper products, well…

'This is not what our guests are used to, but... it is the right thing to do': Restaurant owner informs diners that they shouldn't tip servers, faces online backlash from skeptical waiters

This restaurant owner has an idealistic way of running their eatery, but online, people are totally divided on the idea. It seems like the topic of tipping is everywhere these days. More and more establishments are incorporating tipping into their business models. From coffee shops to restaurants to food trucks, almost anywhere you get food these days is going to have an iPad screen asking if you'd like to tip 20, 25, or 30 percent on that meal you just bought. Though this can be lucrative for…

'I was very stunned at how entitled they felt': Diners insist on ordering 2 minutes before restaurant closes because they know "one of the owners"

If you can avoid it, please don't be the customers who show up to an establishment mere seconds before closing time. There are few words that waiters hate to hear more than, “Oh good, we made it just before closing time!” The waitstaff are expecting people to be out of the building by the time the end of their shift rolls around. That way, they can properly close the restaurant: there's a lot of cleaning, restocking, or counting money that has to happen before all of the staffers can head home…

'Don't mess with food safety': Entitled bride and groom tried to serve old dried fish to 300+ wedding guests, venue rejects them

One should not be allowed to have a massive wedding ceremony if one wants to serve one's guests of more than 300 friends and family members a bunch of old, dried fish. This entitled bride and groom attempted to allow the caterers and venue to serve fish that had been sitting outside for upwards of five hours. The caterers rejected this and deemed it to be a food safety issue and a violation of the contract the couple had signed. However, once the wedding reception began, the groom doubled down…

'This lady completely flipped from... happy to stone-faced': 60th birthday Karen writes petty note to server after restaurant doesn't give her free food

Just because your birthday is super important to you, doesn't mean everyone else has to celebrate it with you. Birthday celebrations are a lot of fun for kids. They grow so quickly that each year feels like a big change. They can invite their friends over to play, eat delicious treats, and open presents (hopefully the new toys they've been wanting). As adults, it seems like some people just don't care about birthdays as much. You aren't growing or changing that much from year to year, and it's…

'I look forward to seeing if she "reports" me': Hotel front desk worker searches hotel for mysterious food smell bugging just one visitor

We hear a lot about hotels being so noisy that guests can't sleep, but has a smell ever bothered you at a hotel ? Some hotels have pools with the strongest chlorine smell ever, and it wafts into the hallway even outside the swimming area. Other hotels offer complimentary breakfasts, but there's no way the smell can waft from the main lobby to the rooms in most cases, since there's usually a big space in between the two areas. If anything, the complaint that most unhappy hotel guests have is noi…

'My turn to share a response to a Karen's review': Restaurant server gets back at irate customer who posts long online rant about their dining experience

Getting to reply to your most irritating customer would be a dream come true for many food service workers. Normally if a customer complains about the service, the worker has to fetch their manager and let them handle it, or they have to meet the complaints with a smile and just let the insults roll off their shoulders. However, complaining in an online review leaves some room for creativity, as this server, u/human_ken_doll, found out. This waiter shared a lengthy “review” from a diner who was…

Of course, some of these mistakes are worse than others…just ask the servers and hosts who replied to u/princessmeemee's question: “What’s something you did that would make your manager clutch their pearls if they found out?” One person accidentally put balsamic vinegar on vanilla ice cream ins…

'[Today] is our busiest day of the year, you can’t just up and quit!': Italian restaurant greeter follows boss's advice to have just one job, boss regrets it immediately

One restaurant greeter learned a valuable lesson about how people should treat them in a work setting. When you start your first job, you don't exactly know how you're supposed to be treated by management. Some places yell at their workers, others are passive-aggressive towards them, and others have super strict rules that they stick by no matter what. Your first job teaches you a lot… so by the time you get your second job, you're a little wiser and more experienced. This person was holding tw…

Roommate locks her food in a pantry after discovering someone keeps eating it behind her back, entitled roommate gets offended: ‘You're treating me like a child'

Anyone who has ever lived with another person had to deal with some kind of drama related to food. It is simply unavoidable. We are all so specific about our food, what, when, where, and how we eat, so when someone else gets thrown into the mix, chaos is bound to ensue. There are a few different approaches when it comes to food in a shared space. You can either buy everything together and split the costs, you can share nothing and have each of you buy their own food and keep it completely separ…
