Wait I'm confused. She said she got $4 which sounds like a tip to me, especially when that's about 15% of her bill. Also why's she mention that her husband could afford to take her on a cruise then say "I need these tips to help my husband pay bills".

 

[spazchicken]

lol Those tattooed fingers are so gross looking! I'll never understand how people can bite their nails past the tips of their fingers.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Not sure why she shit on the husbands looks when he was apparently nice to her.

 

[3N16MA]

Why call out the husband when her problem was with his wife? From her account it seems like he was nice.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

Pudgy fingers, would not bang.

 

[Schweinehund]

looks better than yours

you don't need to put another down to bring yourself up

oh...

 

[JinjoUnchained]

I'd be kind of weirded out if a waitress suggested I can call her "asshole" before I'm about to eat a meal..ugh.

Well, Nas did call Jay Z ugly on Ether, so OP is right.

Edit: wrong quote; meant for another post that criticized waitress for calling husband ugly.

 

[TheOMan]

The waitress looks worse than Jenny here. Stooping to personal attacks like that

I was onside with the waitress until the last part of her response. Yikes.

 

[IchigoSharingan]

Yo, why did the waitress start attacking the girls husband for no reason? That was kinda harsh. Way to make yourself look like the bad person.

right?

i had the same "the fuck!?" reaction while reading

Was thinking the same thing. She came off just as childish. Maybe next time asshole.

 

[hurricanes]

Judge from her response I'd assume she's rude when served the table. The news kinda support that, so no tip is probably justify. The wife shouldn't wrote that note, though.

 

[Hazmat]

If she responds to customers by jokingly calling them assholes I would think she'd be used to get stiffed on tips now.

 

[Mohonky]

Everyone is this situation sounds horrible.

 

[riotous]

As this point it seems like wait staff would realize posting reciepts online is a recipe for unemployment; but maybe it's welcomed and part of the ploy as other's have suggested.

 

[Alpha Centauri]

Had she left the husband out of it, or even some weak platitudes like "yes your husband was nice, but I was not interested in him" she would be much more sympathetic. You have an issue with the girl, don't drag the guy that "took a liking to you" and who by your account seemed jovial to you.

She was rightly suspended. Had she left it at the woman, I'd understand the suspension still, but her gripe would have at least had a level of (perceived) moral weight to it.

 

[GreatestHits]

Jessica sounds like someone I would move a few seats away from if I were sitting next to her at the bar. Same with the insecure wife.

And btw, husbands aren't responsible for your insecurity or lack thereof. Sheesh

 

[Heavy_D206]

God Damn, women are so jealous and petty sometimes. This seems exactly like something one of my ex's would do.

Even women who are friends still treat each other like shit lol

Um.. at least you said 'lol'?

 

[Menchi]

Yay, one up'ism You slighted me, I'll tell you why your slight is invalid...
Or you know, change tip culture, and increase minimum wage instead. Then again, what do I know, I'm British.

 

[Heavy_D206]

Yeah.... women, they suck (stealth edit while you can young padawan) er wait, screwed you already are

I'm only speaking from life experience. Even my g/f talks about how horrible women treat each other.

She tells me constantly how she wishes her friendships could be similar to the way me and my friends act.

And I never said women suck, I actually adore women but that doesn't change how they treat each other.

 

[Beerman462]

She got Jenny's number

 

[weemadarthur]

Was this at Hooters? Cause if so, it all makes sense. Otherwise I'm not getting it at all.

I've been out with my spouse, and the server was flirting madly....but kept bringing free drinks. Guess what I didn't bother complaining about?

 

[GamerJM]

what is the source

 

[Aselith]

She ordered wings and got jelly

 

[ThisGuy]

She ordered wings and got jelly

Hah.

Reading the wife's reply I believe her over the waitress. Something about the husband calling her asshole all night long seems strange.

 

[Unicorn]

So...the wife filled out the restaurant copy of the receipt and the husband filled out the customer copy? Why would you do that?

Reading comprehension. The table was 2 couples. Other couple tipped 4$.

Yeah, I don't understand why those involved simply didn't decide to put their little dispute aside and institute sweeping reforms. Wait a minute, I do!

 

[RageWaffles]

Clicked this thread because I thought it was about someone literally getting ethered, but it's just some boring blog post. Bad title, OP.

 

[sleepykyo]

There's no one to root for

Both husbands? They're going to need help dealing with such spiteful significant others.

 

[bobawesome]

A more appropriate title would be "Waitress doesn't know how to deal with bad customer so instead she whines on social media to vent."

Pretty immature to make the whole thing public and it wasn't even a good "burn".

 

[Skeyser]

Seems like the waitress made up a bunch of lies to make the customers look worse. Plus she has ugly ass fingers

 

[bobawesome]

But she got rekt in the end lel

Get trucked, Jessica.

 

[matrix-cat]

"What's your name? Oh, I don't like that, can I call you ____?"

Anyone who pulls that shit is instantly the one in the wrong.

 

[Kieli]

The waitress' note has a random dig at the husband of the woman who didn't tip

Which I found on my own, and looks better than yours.

Like, why? There was no reason to demean him just because you didn't like his wife...

 

[Stallion Dan]

I give her marraige 18 months tops with that possessiveness.

 

[Draconian]

Both parties need to grow up here.

 

[mugwhump]

More like the husband got ethered, lol.

 

[Jackben]

Tip culture is out of control. Everyone needs to make a stand and stop supporting this by refusing to tip everywhere.

 

[JustenP88]

Damn, you guys really hate tipping.

 

[Lev]

If there was no tipping, then the food would cost extra. What's the real difference? Either way, the customer is paying the costs. At least with tipping, most of the money is going to the waiter and they can potentially make more money than getting paid only the minimum wage, which is what I'd expect they would get if there was no tipping.

 

[danthefan]

I don't understand how this story has made it into the public consciousness (on however a minor level).

 

[Dusk Golem]

From the information available, it does really sound like the husband is the victim here. I feel there has to be missing information here, but if the wife is jealous over a waitress they had for a meal and going to call her out like this, she has some definite jealousy and insecurity issues she's going to need to work out. The waitress stoops down to a dumb level to put herself on a pillar in response to defend herself but comes off as the very thing she accuses the wife of being, and for some reason despite apparently no problems with the husband she spends most of her response shaming him.

I also am wondering why this is in the public eye at all.

 

[Pluto]

I read the the shit the waitress said abiut the husband and immediately disliked her, then I read the wife's response and she's just as bad. I feel sorry for the husbands, both of them.

What was weird is that they both talked about the honeymoons their husbands treated them to ... is that a thing? I thought the honeymoon is something the couple decides on together.

Ok how about this

We give just the tip, and don't pay for the actual food. Everyone needs to make a stand, that way we will stop the out of control restaurant-owner culture from underpaying their hard working staff.

 

[Toa TAK]

She got Jenny's number

867-5309?

Waiters wouldn't be so clingy, taxes would be paid correctly. And the prices wouldn't go up that much.

Dine and ditch? Nah, you're better off starting a Twitter campaign. #endtippingculture or something, since you are looking for bring about awareness.

Restaurant owners have to deal with the difficult balancing act of charging a certain amount of money per dish. If the prices are too high, then they won't have any customers. That is why it's smarter for them to push the extra costs on service. That ends up working well for waiters too since it gives them the opportunity to make tips, which actually help them out instead of getting solely an hour salary, since they can make more money. The only group of people truly getting the bad end of the stick are the customers, but that isn't necessarily true since they are going to pay whatever the difference comes out to, either it's higher prices on food or paying extra through gratuity.

I use to not like to tip, but I always did regardless because I knew that my servers depend on tips. Now I don't care anymore because I only go out to eat if I can afford to also pay for the tip, so it's not a problem.

I'm not sure since I haven't heard any numbers. I am sure we will hear something soon since a bunch of restaurants in NY have decided to get rid of tipping.

Well what the hell, this makes it seem like there is no bad person to point at in this situation. Who are we supposed to blame for this out of control culture?

 

[Lupercal]

Maybe American restaurants should stop serving such large portions for low prices and problem solved?

When I visited the US the servings were huge with ridiculously low prices in normal restaurants. Trying to get the same here in Europe would easily cost me double.

I know the costs are higher here anyway but damn.
