'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…

'I never charge for soda or tea if people are nice': 20+ Server confessions that they'd never tell their bosses

We don't want to think about our waiters and waitresses messing up our meals, but it absolutely happens! Just think about how often you make mistakes---probably at least a few per day or per week, right? 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…

'Inconsiderate roommate wouldn't stop eating my food': Tenant gets even with entitled roommate by feeding him expired milk and raw eggs

'Inconsiderate roommate wouldn't stop eating my food': Tenant gets even with entitled roommate by feeding him expired milk and raw eggs

Sometimes, telling your roommate to stop doing something inconsiderate is not enough. You have to show them the consequences of their actions. This tenant's roommate had a habit of eating whatever he wanted in the communal refrigerator, especially when it wasn't his own food. He always had an excuse. He either didn't have enough time to do his own grocery shopping or he promised to pay the tenant back next tine. Well, after numerous instances, it became clear that this was an empty promise. The…

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…

'Oh okay. Good luck with that, bud': Waiter calls out "we have somewhere to be in an hour" diners

Oh, you have to be at the airport in 90 minutes, but you have time for a sit-down meal at a restaurant? Tell me more. Tell me why you think that's a good choice. International flights can cause long lines to get through security---these notoriously take ages to get through. Oh, you're only 25 minutes from the airport? I'm sure there will be no traffic, red lights, or slow drivers to stop you from getting on your flight. Truly, if you decide to have a sit-down meal outside the airport when you h…

Top 20 Poorly Constructed Kitchens, Bathrooms, and DIY Projects

Every so often, one finds oneself confronting a DIY project so poorly constructed and inconceivably designed that it begs the question: what were they thinking? These baffling moments apply to public places as well. For instance, there are only so many ways to design a functioning public restroom… so why do so many of these bathrooms involve flaws like stall doors that are so exposing that one simply cannot use them? You would think someone would test these out before signing off on the project…

This person has a few questions for their local deli . After working there for five years, they've seen a thing or two at that location.

'I freeze. I realize instantly what I said': 20+ Waiters who accidentally said what popped into their heads

Whoops… these waiters mixed up their words a little bit! It happens to all of us now and again: we mean to say one thing, then think of something else to say, and then combine the two to make one dumb phrase. It's like that scene in Mean Girls when Cady tries to say “great” and then “cool” and ends up with “grool.” Except that these people were waiters, and they were talking to their customers when they made their mistakes. Unlike other service jobs, waiters work for tips from their customers,…

'Owner of the restaurant wanted me to "spy"': Undercover restaurant staffer boldly informs owners about what they need to change

The owners of this restaurant couldn't handle the truth! At this establishment, management was trying to figure out how to make their store “more professional and turn some things around.” That's an admirable goal: wanting to make a restaurant a better place for both staffers and customers alike is sure to benefit a business. However, some restaurant owners don't want to take the obvious (and free!) option to figure out what should change. They could ask their hardworking employees and managers…

'The look on her face was priceless': Teenage restaurant worker leaves kitchen surprise for clueless manager

No matter where you work, there are going to be some parts of the job that absolutely nobody wants to do. If you work in a restaurant , for example, you have to do some of the same chores every single day. You'll need to sweep and mop the same floors, clean the same dishes , and wipe down the same tables over and over. It becomes a swirl of repeating tasks, one after another. That's why when there's a new person on the job, the current employees and managers might take advantage of their willin…
