Watching and reminding because someone made a mistake one time?They'll probably give you decaf for that kind of behavior, though that's just a guess as I've never been a barista. Just tell them your order. If they get it wrong they'll just make you another one for free.

I wouldn't tell anyone that if I were her. That's disgusting. I've worked in the industry for 10+ years, and while I've heard of spitting I've never seen it or done it myself. Not cool.

Another very popular response to "hi, how are you?" Is "DIET COKE!" And it's almost never "WATER" or any other type of beverage. Always a very rude "DIET COKE!" That's all the proof I need that that shit is addicting. Diet coke-heads are real and they are rude. I once overheard a fellow (normally very soft spoken and…

I would have called the police (and I never want to call the popo) and charged that little shit with assault!

That guy was clearly too dumb to realize the police cannot enforce gratuity....GOOD. Either that or he really was scared of the staff... Also good!

Umm speak for yourself.

I know the stereotype of restaurant industry workers spitting in food/doing other gross unsanitary stuff/etc is quite popular, but I can proudly say that after years and years of serving tables I have never done this nor seen anyone do this. Yes I've heard of it happening, of course, but our idea of "revenge" (aka…

That story both made me sad and warmed my heart. I will never understand people who don't or won't tip. I can't go to your job and negotiate your paycheck. Why would they do that to me?

Ummm Never mind! Holy crap I think I'm in the black! Best day of my life!

Cool story.

Followed by "make it strong." Sure, Id love to charge you for a double!

Tell me how you did it? I've been reading for years and commenting for a while...but no such luck for me so far :(

You'd be surprised how many people, completely serious, will tell you they don't plan on tipping. Not because anything went wrong, but because... Actually I don't have a clue as to why they do this. To see the bartenders/servers reaction? Maybe, since they know the person serving them can't do anything about it.…

Very true. "Sure I'll make you a mojito... but don't tell your friends."" Or the classic "sorry, we're out of mint" also works.

I usually run a tab (after cashing out my first round with a big tip so the bartender knows I'm not a douche and gives me preferential service, hopefully) and tip at the very least 20% on the entire tab.

Exactly. Know the bar you're in. Nice restaurant with hand crafted cocktails on the menu? You'll have to wait a few minutes while they make it, but it's totally expected that you order them. Those bartenders are proud of their skills and probably put some of those cocktails on the menu themselves. Plus higher prices…

And when the bar is 2-3 people deep, guess who the bartender serves first? Not those girls, that's for sure. Also, please know what you'd like before we waste time approaching you. I always have cash visibly in my hand and my order on the tip of my tongue (plus I tip well.) I hardly ever have to wait for my second…

In real life if you "know the chef" and have the type of relationship where he/she comps your meal (as this guy apparently thought he did) you won't be ordering anything. The chef will send food out to you. This guy is clearly a douche monger.

Hahaha! That's great! I can imagine "we sure do know who you are!" With a big smile, of course.

People who have to ask the chef to come to the table don't have the relationship with the chef that they think they do. You have no idea how often people do this at my restaurant and my chef pops his head out of the kitchen and says "I don't know who those fuckers are" or "I hate that douche." If he knows you like you…
