Working in a restaurant has the ability to make you super empathic while still losing all faith in humanity at the same time. I paid my dues to The Trenches™️ by working 10 years as a server, and in that time, I thought I’d seen the worst of the worst until I stumbled upon r/ServerLife and r/TalesFromYourServer where servers expose awful customers who don’t know how to act or tip. I hope these images encourage you to never EVER behave like any of these unhinged people:
1.
Before we begin — this right here is exactly why servers depend on tips to live:
2.
I can think of another word I’d call this person, and it’s much worse than “hun”:
3.
“Oh boy! Syrup coins!” said no one, ever:
4.

9.
All you need is love <3. Just kidding. Tip your server:

There is — and I can’t stress this enough — no such thing as medium chicken:
11.
Singing “Happy Birthday” is one thing, but I’m drawing the line at a “circumcision congratulations” song:
12.
After leaving a tip this awful, I would consider this a threat:
13.
This beyond unhinged note a customer left on his reservation:
14.
This table asked to split the check 32 ways, and I’m sweating at the thought:
15.
This math wiz who decided 87 + 20 = 187:
16.
“If you can’t afford to tip, then you can’t afford to go out to eat”:
17.
There’s a “just the tip” joke here somewhere:
18.
The dollar signs make me think this customer at a hotel restaurant wanted his server to, um, work after hours:
19.
And finally, the highest but ickiest tip on this list:
