Waitress Assumes Customers Left, Eats Customer's Salad, Customers Return


At the start of this tumultuous tale it does seem as if we're about to read something very gnarly. Like, maybe some kind of stomach bug situation from a salad never meant for human consumption. But alas, things don't shake out nearly as bad as you might think. Just a panicked waitress fielding the daunting realization that she'd consumed a customer's salad, that was actually going to return.

Font - 2 1 3 2 1 TIFU by eating a salad left behind by a customer. M Obligatory this happened 4 years ago. I used to be a waitress at an Uzbek restaurant in the US. A lot of our clientele was Russian/Eastern European. I'm fluent in Russian, so I would usually service the tables that didn't speak much English.

Font - Well one Saturday night, I'm working the dinner rush. This is usually 4-5 hours of constant, nonstop work. It was a small restaurant with limited staff, so on busy nights, I'd also bus the tables. About 3 hours into the shift, I get a table of about 10 young Russian thuggish intimidating men- gopniks, if you will. They sat down, I took their orders, poured their vodka shots, and moved on to my next table. Let it be known that they brought their own vodka, about 4-5 bottles. Anyways, I eve

Font - keep working. About 30 minutes later, I look across the restaurant and see that the Squad has left. They didn't pay the bill, but the owner of the restaurant was Russian, so I assumed they knew the owner and had a tab (this was not entirely uncommon). I start bussing their table and notice they left a salad completely untouched. Now, anyone that has worked in the restaurant business before knows that on really busy nights where you're moving nonstop, you get hungry, and you gotta take any

Font - and starving, and still had about 2 hours left in my shift. So, before busing the table, I swipe the salad, take it into the back, and quickly shovel it down my gullet before getting back out onto the floor. I'm about to go finish busing the table when a different table calls me over, and so I go and help that table. A few minutes later, I start heading back towards the Squad's table, when to my horror, I see that the Squad had returned.

5.

Font - Y'all, they went out for a smoke. Because OF COURSE THEY DID. I feel all the blood drain from my face as my heart poops it's pants. I'm panicking about what to do- I can't place an order with the kitchen for another salad just because. Will the Squad notice? What will they say? How will I explain?! I calmly walk over and pour another round of shots. I'm waiting for them to ask about the salad, trying to prepare some BS excuse in my head. But they don't ask. Because thank god, they're hamm

Font - couple more hours, downing shots and taking smoke breaks. So far, so good. Now, time to bring the bill. The moment l've been dreading. They'll see the salad on the check, realize the salad at some point mysteriously disappeared, and start asking questions. Nope. They leave $500 cash for a $300 bill and stumble out of the restaurant. One of the men threw up outside the restaurant, and two more were starting a fight. The salad was the least of their concerns. As a precaution, I wait an extr

Rectangle - TLDR; working as a waitress at a Slavic restaurant in the US, get a table of Russian gangsters, they leave so I eat a salad they left behind, turns out they were on a smoke break. Managed to divert their attention by pouring them shots. 758 1, Share V 73

Boyfriend Makes Irrational Purchase, Expects Reduction In Bills


Man oh man, the entitlement is out in full form in this scenario. We have a boyfriend who expects to be able to pay less on bills just because he proceeded to make an irrational purchase. Well, it seems as if a wakeup call was in order for this guy. The moral judges of Reddit's AITA community were in collective agreement that the boyfriend was out of line. 

1.

Font - AITA for not letting my boyfriend pay less on bills due to a new purchase because he wouldn't let me when I made less money than him? Not the A-hole My boyfriend of two years and I live together. We split expenses 50/50 when it comes to rent, groceries, utilities, things for our house, etc. we both make about the same money working full time. We keep our finances such as our own vehicles, doctor bills, cell phone bills, etc separate.

2.

Font - My boyfriend recently made an irresponsible and unnecessary purchase. To keep it short, I won't go into details but it was something he absolutely did not need, just wanted and it has made his disposable income significantly less. This has been a sore subject between us. The other day he asked me to sit down and talk. He told me since he paid more on his personal bills a month, he felt like we needed to adjust how much we each paid on shared expenses. So basically, he felt he should get t

3.

Font - This made me mad for a few reasons. First, as I said, the purchase was absolutely not necessary by any means. And when we first started living together I made way less money than I do now. I worked part time at another job and made 12 less dollars on the hour than him. However, then he refused to budge on letting me pay less bills, so I budgeted and saved and always had everything paid despite that. | So, I told him no. I told him he was not willing to pay more than me when I made way les

Rectangle - Little-bit_ • 1d 3 8 Awards NTA. I notice he thinks you're the AH but he certainly doesn't think he was an AH when he wouldn't let you pay less. Are you SURE you should be with this guy?

Font - ADB_BWG • 1d 3 1 Award NTA. You worked two jobs and had significantly less income BEFORE any bills, and he said "Gotta be 50/50. Otherwise, l'd have less money for ME!" You both earn the same income, and he's still okay with 50-50. He spends his money on an unnecessary purchase that (a) benefits ONLY him and (b) you did not support, and NOW he says "Cant be 50-50 anymore. Otherwise, you will have more money than I have." Never combine money with this guy or pay more than 50%. 6 Reply 4.8k

Font - 17 Awards I'm going to keep it brief. NTA. Pay your bills first, live second. That's what adulting is all about. Being financially responsible etc goes through understanding the consequences of your purchases. The part about him not wanting to split proportionally to your contribution to the household revenue comfort me in this NTA vote. That's 2 red flags btw, be careful and all the best....

Organism - secretoutlet736 • 1d • Partassipant [1] NTA, he should have budgeted and he clearly didn't. So you're not responsible at all. He can have fun stuff but he needs to be more careful. Plus if you let him pay less he's gonna keep buying fun stuff irresponsibly. G Reply 28 ...

Smile - Yadynnus • 1d • Partassipant [2] NTA. If you live together it's only fair that you split house expenses 50/50. Personal expenses are well personal. You shouldn't have to pay the consequences of how he chose to spend his own money. G Reply 4 74 +
