This birthday party went downhill so quickly! It's a shame that this person volunteered to plan a double birthday party for their 64-year-old FIL and their 60-year-old MIL. It was supposed to be a lovely time, as u/Diylion explains. They invited 10 people to a local venue…but things just went wrong from the start. Sometimes, despite your best efforts, things will go wrong in life. And as they say, the show (or party!) must go on! It's not like you can just tell your entire party of 10 people th…

If you have ever worked in the service industry, then you have definitely met lots of people who could use this training service...

Oh no, if it isn't the consequences of your actions! What a surprise… NOT. Yeah, I brought back that joke. Because it truly should not be a surprise. When you do something, like flake on committed plans, then you're going to have to suffer the consequences of your actions. Funny enough, this employee was aghast when she was faced with the outcome of her actions. She no-called/no-showed for her restaurant shift. If you don't t know what that is, it's basically self-explanatory. It's when you don…

It is not in a company's best interest to have their employees gather and hold a discussion about how much they are being paid, but it is certainly in the employee's best interest. Back when I was floor manager at a restaurant, I remember finding out that people who were way newer than I was at the job were getting about one dollar more than me. It doesn't really matter that it was one dollar (that adds up, by the way), it matters that this dollar is symbolic! Why should people who have fewer q…

Everyone's been to a restaurant before where they had a terrible server. You saw them flirting with the hostess, loitering around the bar, and rolling their eyes when you asked them to split the bill. Not to mention, they've neglected your table for 20 minutes, while you were starving and ready to order. Restaurant goers are faced with a tough decision– to tip or not to tip?

If you have any experience working in the service industry then you already know it is a beacon for absolutely bonkers customers. You can't be a server, or bartender, or whatever without having several encounters with some of the most unbelievably rude people you have ever met. It's like, because you are serving them, you are now their jester. They don't understand that no, no it is absolutely not. In fact, all of us here at Failblog have our own horror stories from when we used to work in the…

The service industry is somehow a lure for the most entitled and Karen people in the world. If you have ever worked in a restaurant, cafe, hotel, or anything like that then you know. There is always that one customer who thinks that your job means you have to do everything they say and they will throw a tantrum if you do not let them walk all over you. One server recently shared on Reddit how they were able to take a couple of Karen customers and show them how a basic restaurant works. Basicall…

Nothing stings like the pain of looking at your schedule for next week and seeing a Saturday-Sunday 'CLOPEN'
