Server Goes Viral for Story of Getting Stiffed a Tip from a Party of 60 People, Commenters Defending the Non-Tippers are Getting Put in Their Place


A word of caution, if you ever worked in the service industry, then this is going to really upset you. If you're trying to not feel like punching through your screen, maybe skip this?… TikToker @user729192738 is a young girl serving at a bar restaurant. The place does not have any sort of auto gratuity for large parties, and she says that's mostly due to the format of the setup—it's more like a bar, with bar games, etc., than a restaurant, so many people have their own checks, etc. So it's difficult to figure out large party's gratuity. Everyone who has worked in the service industry knows that's some serious BS, but let's get into her story. 

 

She came into work one day, a 7-hour shift, and was told she would be serving a party of 60 people. Since it was just her waiting on 60 people, that was the only table she had. They stayed for her entire shift and she was excited to see how much money in tips she made after working so hard. To her utter disbelief and shock, nobody left a tip—not even a couple dollars on the table. Every server knows that feeling of seeing no tip and the wind just gets knocked out of you. You basically just worked for free and some might even have to PAY to work, if they have to pay out the bar. 

 

The TikToker posted her story and it instantly went viral. Most people were shocked that her restaurant didn't do auto gratuity, but most viewers were servers and able to relate to that horrible feeling. However, evil commenters who have obviously never worked in the service industry or are privileged enough to have other job options, decided they needed to add their opinions about tipping and it will make anyone who's worked in the service industry groan. Can you believe there are still people out there saying they won't leave any tip if there was just ONE little slip up. You forgot the side of ketchup? That's it, you don't deserve to make any money off of this 7 hour /$300+ check. It's so messed up! 

 

But don't worry, many of these ignorant commenters taking the side of the non-tippers are getting put into their place by other commenters who most likely have worked in the service industry before and have a lot more experience in the matter. 

Woman Savagely Annihilates Ex's Entire Friend Group After They Mock Her Heartbroken Email


This woman decided on the nuclear option after being brutally mocked by her ex and his ruthless friend group, the fallout of which caused the dissolution of the entire group. This is another reason to add to the (already long) list of why we hate group chats/emails/texts.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/prettyrevenge subreddit by Redditor u/nosugarcoatings who shared her experiences with the popular Reddit community.

Readers responded and seemed to agree that this revenge story would have qualified for Reddit's r/Prorevenge or r/NuclearRevenge communities, which often host revenge stories with more drastic and wide-reaching consequences than the smaller-scale r/prettyrevenge stories.

"Damn, that's hardcore," responded user blueFireK9. "Literally destroyed his entire social life & relationship in a single emailing session. Good on you."

"And made him come begging her to take him back!" added user bluegrassgazer.

"I think this qualifies for an upgrade to Pro or Nuclear Revenge," remarked user SordoCrabs, commenting on the savage nature of the poster's vengeance.

A Bunch o' Daft British Memes For the Lot o' You


Top o' the mornin' to ya!

Is that British or Irish? Sorry, I get confused. 

Just a bunch of smarmy blokes (wanted to use the c-word here but I'd get fired) on a bunch of different islands to me. Best to keep in mind here, you could just as easily say the same thing about where I live too, and those who live in glass houses shouldn't cast stones.

Insults to our various islanded brethren aside…  it has recently become the case that London is one of the top cities for Fail Blog viewership. For whatever reason, you Londoners just can't get enough of this wretched site. What's wrong with you lot?

It might come as just as much of a surprise to the rest of you as it is to us... but cheers to you Londoners. Hope you're having a bloody good week and are enjoying being roasted alive by that incredible heatwave. 

Enjoy this list of memes, funny tweets, and some bloody good British humor. 


 

Annoying Manager Memes for People Who Have Mastered Their Fake Laugh to Survive


There are a lot of different parts of a workplace that are conducive to your experience. People probably work better in places that have windows with nice views, and facilities that are useful to their employees. We bet people are happier when they get along with their coworkers, and have the space to get all of their work done in a timely manner. Perhaps people are also happier when they work somewhere that's flexible hours or is really close to a bus or train stop of the commute is lessened by just that much. Where sure it's a mix of everything, but one thing that can definitely help one's experience is having a well-rounded manager. A good manager can really make her break one's experience in a company, but if your manager is not that great, hopefully, they're at least funny enough to make fun of after work.
Whether you love your manager or you love to talk trash about them, we're sure you will find these memes entertaining.

Woman Fired From Cellphone Store For Refusing to Clean Up Other People's Dishes


This cellphone saleswoman was singled out by her manager and told to clean up the mess of dishes in the break room. She was surprised at being singled out for this task and utterly objected to the assignment.

This thread was shared to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit by Reddit user u/Feminist_Witch_, who shared their story to the joy of readers. Readers proceeded to share their own thoughts and experiences in the comments.

"We had a guy at a job I used to work at that said making coffee was women's work (factory job where the only women were office or lab personnel)," said Any-Faithlessness351. "Guess who wasn't allowed to drink coffee that was made in the plant kitchen anymore?"

"Where I worked, if people left dirty dishes, the staff was notified, and they were thrown out," said Gizmosia. "I think this is just an idiot manager with an idiot policy."

"At my job, people have a habit of leaving dishes in the dishwasher in the break room, and our front desk lady usually ends up taking care of it," shared ShittyExchangeAdmin. "I noticed a sign was on the dishwasher recently saying it was out of order. I asked if it was really broken or if she was just sick doing everybody else's dishes, and she said "Yeah it's not broken I just put the sign on it". Gave me a pretty good chuckle."

Read on to see screenshots and the reactions below. Do you think the manager overstepped? Or were they justified in asking this employee to clean up the back room?

Karen Roasted By Business Owner After She Brings Disruptive Newborn to Nail Salon and Leaves Bad Review


This mother took her newborn to a nail salon appointment and was roasted by the owner for leaving a bad review of her experience. Screenshots of the exchange have since made their way online, and the Karen is now getting picked apart by the internet too.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledB#%ch subreddit, a subreddit that often handles these types of stories where Karens inflict their entitled ways on others.

Too often we, as a society, give in to the notion that the customer is always right when they often aren't. That's clearly demonstrated by this post where this Karen customer actually thought it was ok to bring a newborn to get her nails done.

Readers expressed their frustrations with the Karen's actions in the comments.

"God this sh#t makes me so angry," commented pm me ur fit. "At least the storeowner can reply to reviews. When I see a response from the store like this, I am much much more likely to go to the location."

"I like that the owner didn't grovel to this woman or offer freebies to get her business back," commented Ok_Store_1983.

"Bet she was picking the baby up too, making it even harder for her manicure to be done smoothly!" suggested brioneb06.
