These folks have some pretty good reasons that they aren't trusting that random restaurant down the block. Have you ever walked out of a restaurant before even eating? It happens from time to time, but there are plenty of red flags that might give a diner pause before ordering their meal. Up next, read about the reason why one petty teenager was “never asked to babysit again” after getting back at the older cousin who kept having her do way too much cleaning.

If they shenan once, you know they're gonna shenanigan.

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…

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…

Well, that's one way to get the job done!

Almost certainly, at some point, those working shift work, or in other jobs where timesheets need to be kept, have been told by some manager not to “bother” reporting time that they worked over their shift because it's “inconvenient” for them to report it. Sometimes, this comes in the form of being told that it needs to be at least 15 minutes to be reported and counted for anything, but that's not really true—at all. If anything, if their system can't handle menial minutes overtime, then they s…

You better be a good hotel guest, or else all the hotels in the neighborhood will gossip about you.

We thought the titular contests of the “Hunger Games” series were just some SciFi hoopla, yet here is this eerily similar real-world equivalent: competing for the privilege of working so that you can continue to support your own survival. In fact, “Hunger Games” is a fitting name given the fact that the arena for this real-world analog was in a restaurant. Everyone who has ever worked in the service industry or retail knows that customer reviews are a total grab bag, you can do nothing exceptio…

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…

This customer had some pretty entitled demands of her server. Many such cases! It seems like waiters and waitresses are always dealing with customers who insist on getting the best service, expecting their servers to go above and beyond, all while these customer treats them really impolitely. Up next, this recruiter had a big laugh after finding out that one of their candidates decided to “ list their typing speed at 270 WPM ," making them the literal fastest typist in the world if true (spoile…

If you want to pull off a scam then you need to have charm—Karens simply do not have that.

'When Inspector came by, I told him, "I'm your guy!" Handed him a master key and lots of rooms and their issues and said, "Run wild." '

"They were, of course, unable to find adequate replacement..."

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…

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…

Some people assume the worst of others, declaring everyone else to be lazy, foolish, or otherwise plotting and scheming something nefarious. But let's be honest, they're probably doing so to deflect from their own shortcomings—which are probably the exact same things they're accusing others of. Having one of these people as your boss or employer is, of course, going to ensure you a terrible time during every moment you're at work, with constant accusations of slacking, skiving, and even stealin…
