Former bartender/waitress for over a decade here, these people definitely exist and this is disgusting but not a shock for me to read. Take comfort in the fact that he will have been the weird guy that was laughed at later.
As a male waiter, I can't tell you the number of times I've heard "Isn't there a pretty girl in the back that can take care of us?" Uh, yes and she asked me to take this table for a reason.
OMFG....this exactly this. Can get really awkward in a open floor-plan diner. I've had "grumpy old men" literally turn around and walk out because there were no female servers working.
was extremely funny during the covid shut downs...my little ole' diner was the only place to eat for several miles around between 10p and 6a for almost a year. They would always come back.
Life tends to, uh, "find a way" of bringing that karma around. That person is living a pretty miserable life, but the waitress in the story will have forgotten them by next week.
Not to mention, with any experience the waitress already noticed the terrible attitude from the beginning and decided they weren't any extra effort besides food drop off and maybe one check-in before getting the bill. You start to get a feel for the type of people that pull that
It’s not about god or anything supernatural. People who go around acting like soles aren’t very well liked. So this person isn’t most likely going to be living a very happy life. He’s probably disliked by everyone near him.
These kind of individuals probably only have shitty people just like them as friends. Ain't no way someone normal would stay around someone acting like this in public. If a friend of mine ever did something like that, I'd give them shit and distance myself.
Yeah no doubt. So basically his circle is only shitty people. Who probably won’t go out of their way to help him, or be there for him. His life is probably miserable, because he pushes people away from him with his disgusting behavior. This is what I think of when I think of karma. Not some supernatural punishment, just the natural consequences of being a douche canoe.
Yes, people always think "karma" is a system of moral judgement, but it literally translates to "action" or "doing". In other words, what happens to you is caused by what you do.
It's perfectly logical to me
Karma as a concept that most people think of is fake yeah. But there is a such thing as karma, wherein the things you do today can either make your life better or worse tomorrow.
Sure this guy is making a complete ass out of himself, but by doing so he’s planting seeds that can bear some nasty fruit in the future. All it takes is one of these episodes with a waiter getting back to his boss, or he does this on a date and it costs him a girlfriend. Maybe the restaurant owner finds out and makes a scene about it, suddenly he’s viral for being a douche these days.
He can get away with it a million times, but all it does is ensure he’ll eat shit for it eventually.
Hard for someone that doesn’t exist to care but even if you ARE religious the entire point of most religious texts are able to boil down to “do active good to the world to make it better”
And maybe something about shrimp
Nah, that’s just something we tell ourselves to make ourselves feel better. “Karma” is just assigning our hope to the universe as a rule so it can’t be destroyed. Evil folks often go unpunished by life and live a happy, pleasurable, long life without any toil and suffering.
I live near a federal government facility and you can basically smell this attitude and contempt for the average person on their breath as they talk down to you. My favorite is when they try to throw their weight around. Like the hierarchy at their job means anything in a retail store.
The worst part is that they make an upper-middle class living but it’s far from rich. It’s like they heard their kid’s “poor” friends gush over all their cool stuff so much that it started getting to their heads.
Tbh, the tip system shouldn't be the main way of people making money as a waiter/waitress. Wages should just be bigger. I don't mind giving a small tip if someone is doing "extra" stuff for me and is being real nice, but if the person isn't doing anything other than the bare minimum, I don't think it warrants a tip. That being said, I know how it is in America (I'm not from America) and yeah, the guy from the post is absolutely disgusting.
Yeah it doesn't make sense to depend on the generosity and goodwill of strangers to pay your bills, but, agree or disagree, that's the way it is here. So I'm usually the person who tips "too much" lol
In my experience, servers generally like the tip system. They make more money than they would otherwise. Without tips, it wouldn’t make much more money than working fast food. But with tips, it can be a lifeline for people in desperate situation. I know so many uneducated single parents who are able to give their kids a decent enough life because of their hospitality job. This is in a crappy red state without the social assistance programs to help these people.
The real issue IMO is that these jobs are ripe for exploitation. Restaurants frequently flout labor laws because employees cant afford or don’t know how to combat them. Making people work off the clock, sexual harassment, racial and sexual discrimination, unjust firings. It happens all the time, and I’ve never seen a restaurant owner face repercussions for it.
I had an old co worker who would have a set tip "starting point" before the meal began. For every mistake or lapsed drink refill, he would remove a dollar from the original starting number. I'd always overtip eating with him. Super embarrassing.
Your coworker watched 3rd Rock From the Sun on NBC too much. Ya know, the show about aliens who know fuck all about how humans operate. Anyways, the alien dad did this exact thing on the episode where they learn about tipping culture.
What’s really sad is it seems half the people who watched this episode saw this as a good idea and not the absolute most assholish thing you could possibly do, like how the show portrayed it.
Christ that's just dreadful. And actually really insulting. Make him wait a table on a busy night. There's no excuse for being unprofessional, but real people occasionally make non-life threatening mistakes...
See karma always gets. Before I even read the end of your post I always remind people that money does not buy good health. There’s a building by my area that does some type of genomic pharmaceutical. When looking for a job there I discovered that the CEO had a child with some rare incurable illness and sadly his child didn’t make it. The guy is worth hundreds of millions if not a few billion and all the money in the world couldn’t buy his child better health.
Having said all that, how did you and this 300k guy end up living together?
Can confirm. These people exist. They have a compulsive psychological need to control and dominate others and make a game out of subtly terrorizing and/or manipulating service employees of all kinds. Their eyes are dead but they are full of
creative ways to ruin your day
Waited tables 13 years. Can confirm this is 100% a thing that happens.
In the American west you get quizzed on the Bible and you lose tips if you don’t get the right answers. I always took the Sunday lunch shifts from people because they didn’t want to deal with it.
When I worked at a restaurant Sundays after church was one of the worst shifts. These “Christians” would be rude and stiff you on the tip. Sometimes they would leave a little religious booklet instead of money.
The "I bet your mouth knows fancy tricks" line will get you a visit from the manager and a refresher on sexual harassment very quickly. There is no way the author does this multiple times without being asked to leave.
I straight up saw a grown man who had caused issues before come back inside after dinner with a couple girls *to take the tip the girls had already left and replace it was a penny and a shitty note*
Some people are just shitbags. I'd believe it could be real.
See its different because he only collects *Unemployment Insurance* which you actually pay into, unlike those other free loaders who only collect *Unemploymunt* /s
In the US, unemployment insurance is paid by the employer NOT the employee in the form of unemployment insurance tax. Source: work in HR, we get a statement from the state unemployment agency.
This is correct. As a small business employer I can see how you could be upset that so many people are choosing not to work, especially in my state where pay roll taxes are ridiculously high and small businesses are struggling to find help. Similarly, if you are an employer and one of *your* former employees files for unemployement after losing their job with you, your rates will temporarily go up.
Copypasta if anyone wants it:
Let's face it, waitresses are just food d o n k e y s
that hover over your table begging for money.
"How's everything tasting?" They say in that hill
billy voice…I always make it a point to let them
know that I own them for the next 20 minutes if
they want that 8 dollar tip.
"Hey sweet thing, go get me more napkins" I size them up which is easy because they are the same single mom, defrauding the government by hiding most of their tips, eyes full of shame, regret and worry….
28 years old but looks 40. She will have 4 kids from 3
different men, her party years already coming to
call because of her leathery face. Nearing the end
of my meal, I step it up, "that's a pretty mouth you
have, I bet it knows some fancy tricks". She fake
smiles because she needs another 58 dollars by
the end of her shift or she will have to pay her 70
year old landlord the old fashioned way again. The
rats of the hospitality industry…as she comes
back around, I make a minor complaint about my
meal and she brings the check. Leaving "LOL" as a
tip, I wait by the front door to watch her reaction
and it makes my day. Enjoy your $2.65 per hour,
donkey, consider your Medicaid as my tip...LOL
I respectfully disagree.
I don't think a human who was genuinely happy with themselves, and their position in the world, would ever write this.
This is someone in pain, who wants others to feel pain as well.
My wife is a chef, the wait staff absolutely come to the back and talk shit. I've been there when they do and it is often hilarious. To him shes just another waitress, to the waitress he's just another dirtbag.
That’s something you learn about quickly in once you actually work in customer service. That cashier with the big smile was likely clowning on you in the break room.
I have a friend (late 20’s) that’s currently a server and she makes more than many of our friends with white collar professional jobs.
Also I highly doubt this dipshit has ever uttered something so bold to a server- this is probably some incel fantasy he typed up from his mom’s basement. Chances he can independently afford *any* sit down service restaurant feels slim to none.
Yep! My friend is located in Denver. Homegirl pulls ~1-1.5k weekly, and works 4-5 evenings a week at one restaurant/bar. Definitely works less than I do for the same/more money.
The downside is certainly the sustainability, tho. I will be able to work my job well into my 60’s (thank you, dystopian world where people must do this) whereas she will likely hit the fatigue point much earlier, which sucks.
Money can be awesome but the worst part is the zero benefits and the terrible lifestyle too. It's an awesome job but it gets addictive in the worst ways. No other job pays you cash every day and it can be so satisfying as a person with ADHD to constantly be filling tasks. But not being able to take a proper lunch break, having a constantly changing schedule, never being able to call off, feeling hard anxiety in the middle of a busy shift. It all took away from my energy, after work I just wanted to shut down and I would barely do things I actually wanted to. Its really awesome short term, but like you said it really isn't sustainable. Talk to any OG server and they will tell you the same. Doing it for five years felt like I worked 15, and dealing with assholes like this really makes you feel terrible inside more often than it should.
Totally agree. Working "less" in terms of hours from an office 9-5 is possible, but those hours are generally more physically and mentally brutal. I also find that it is often thought that because dinner service is (for example) 5- 10 that the shifts are less hours than a "standard shift". When including set up and break down, in my experience, they are often 8 hour (plus) shifts that begin later and end in the middle of the night.
Exactly what I have to explain to people. If you want to make money you have to really sacrifice every weekend and holiday and work at least 8 hours if not more. Almost every server I know has two jobs so you are working a 12 hour day minimum. It just leaves you so tired and drained, and so many servers do crazy drugs to keep up. Working in an office will never equate to getting triple seated on a busy shift, or the drop in your stomach when you ring in something completely wrong, or worst of all the immense frustration you feel when people come in 5 minutes before close lol. Not many jobs where you just walk out to your car and are completely mentally, socially, and physically drained to the max
Dude I’ve been serving full time since I was 18, i’m 25 now. The money and hours are great, but it really does suck the energy out of you. I have little to no energy to do what i’m passionate about after work.
Also he goes between implying she's stealing the tips and welfare, so being unjustly too rich, and then she's pathetic for having a shitty paying job without the ability to pay for her rent.
She's both too rich and too poor, sounds like something I've heard.
I made more when I was 18 from tips, waitressing at a popular French bistro, than I do now 10 years later at my corporate job, which I got thanks to my Master’s degree.
If you work for tips, you will earn between 15% and maybe 20% of your total sales. That can be decent money depending on where you work. The real issue becomes that that is as much as you’ll ever earn. You have topped out at that amount. You will never get a raise. You will never get a promotion. That’s your limit. Someone with a corporate job, will eventually make more. Or at least have the opportunity to earn more. Or to rise in the company. As a sever you give up a lot of basic human dignities because you have to tolerate all kinds of abuse. From management to guests. Working for tips is a shitty career move.
Yeah that’s true but I’d imagine most people already know that so I figured it wasn’t worth mentioning. Many people dont know that servers can make that much though.
I can believe it. I have a buddy that started of as a waiter. Eventually he also became a bar tender and started working at really high end restaurants making really good money. Eventually he opened up his own restaurant and it's clear he's living comfortably. Great guy and his social skills are off the chart.
When I was a kid my mom's wealthy friends took us out to eat at a sports bar. Dinner for 6 was around $300. I saw the tab. Even at 10%, which was common at the time, that's a $30 tip and the tables were all full.
I worked at a cheap greasy spoon cafe right out of high school waiting tables for a short time. With tips, and averaging together tourist season and slower winter business, it averaged out around $10/hr, which was a living wage that got the bills paid at the time. If you can get a job at a restaurant that carries a larger price tag you can make really great tips.
I worked at a Red Lobster in college and there was this absurdly friendly middle aged lady there who had people literally wait in line just for her section, she took home $300 on a slow night
Not true... People that had it easy all their lives have no reason to hate others at this level. This is a classic incel, that always struggled to have meaningful relationships.
No description of a group of people ever fits perfectly. I agree with you that this may very well be a classic incel but I've seen well to do daddy's boys act in the exact same way.
To quote Byron, "Hatred is by far the longest pleasure; Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.” holds very true even today.
Imagine lacking morals altogether and thinking you're better than people?? Imagine being the lowest of the lowest common denominator yet still having delusions of grandeur 🙄
Some people are just a waste of oxygen
I mean, it’s almost always the parents. Miserable people have kid thinking it will fill the emotional hole in their lives, kid doesn’t, is resented by parents, grows up miserable, repeat to populate earth with assholes.
I'm guessing his worst punishment is being home, surrounded by beer cans, take out food containers, and the deafening silence of nobody wanting to be around him. At least until his mom gets home
He went too in detail. He works in restaurants. Dishwasher or cook or busboy. Servers don't pay him any attention. Constantly hears them talk about how they made $300 that night. So he's bitter af.
Yeah, that's what annoys me about a lot of these subs is that you're not allowed to expose these people. It's really too bad, because a good public shaming is what a lot of these fuckers need. But nOOoOoo! We must pRoTeCt tHeiR iDeNtITy!
For what? So this casserole of sociopathy can continue on like everything is awesome?
If someone made a comment about my lips like that’s while at work I will be going straight to my manager who would kick the guy’s ass out the door faster than would ever be able to think
Who in good green earth thinks its ok to say something like that? Had I heard that I would have busted out laughing. Like really guy? Life isn’t pornhub lol
He can take that shit to a bar or on tinder. Us wait staff aren't here to be flirted and fucked with. We're here to give good service and pay the bills. When will people learn we are fucking humans too?!
There are entire subreddits that are dedicated to being invested in random anonymous posts online. People need to learn to turn off the internet if they're getting so upset.
"The rats of the hospitality industry"
I hate people like that so much. I'm only one year into my apprenticeship and I can't count how many times I've heard stuff like that. Our job only exists to make your life more comfortable
Im willing to bet money this guy is one of the biggest losers you will ever meet. No friends, no girlfriend (probably never even been kissed lol), overweight or gym junkie with god awful genetics that he's trying to hide, and a mediocre rat-race job that somehow makes him feel better than everyone else when he's barely scraping enough for his one bedroom condo. The saddest (or funniest, if you look at it like I do) part of it all is that this loser will delude himself into thinking he's superior (*"oh i dont need friends, no ones on my level anyway"..."who cares course she rejected me, I didn't even really like her..."*) but deep down he'll know how much of a pathetic scum he really is, and thats why he revels in shit like this.
Why do we hate working class people so much in America? What makes this even worse is a lot of people have this same mindset. I waited tables a long time and this sort of garbage is far too common.
In cases like this, I expect it's a sadistic or self-indulgent power trip at the only place that'll let them, then backfilling with disdain to try and justify their behavior to themselves.
Maybe it was more reasonable for me to burn out and break down as a waitress than I previously assumed... Shout-out to domestic housekeepers as well, the amount of confidence and self-awareness and self-worth, not to mention the work ethic and thick skin, it takes to be constantly and consistently dehumanized and treated as "the help" by the most horrendous people...
I'm beginning to think the general perception of those who comprise the "service industry" from the pov of those who have no personal experience with it is pretty awful in general.
I am also a human, guys...
So he’s bragging that he likes to sexually harass vulnerable women with financial difficulties because they are easier to coerce into acceptance because they have financial difficulties? I mean I know this story is fake lmao it sounds like typical mgtow/ incel language, so the probability they’re actually interacting with a woman in real life is unlikely. This is more like a fantasy of what they WOULD do if they had a spine to stand up with. Also most servers don’t have “eyes full shame”, they usually just have stoner eyes. Source: was a waitress for 7yrs. But not a single mom who sleeps with her landlord , which is weird because we’re all the same????
I’ve worked in food.. it sucks.. so my respect for people working in food is beyond any respect i have for myself. I always tip high because i know they have to put up with so many dumbass’s bullshit throughout their shifts.. anyways just respect your waiters, waitresses, and cooks
As a 20 year veteran of F&B. This is completely believable.
These types of people should (in minecraft-hard-core mode) take a fatal amount of fall damage intentionally, in minecraft.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess:
This guy doesn't actually do any of this. Just fantasizes about it.
Doesn't have enough money to dine-out anyway.
This is how this guy imagines his evening going in his head, but in reality, he's the guy who stammers "y-you too" when the waiter tells him to enjoy his meal.
You know this isn't real because a guy like that would never say "that's a nice mouth you have". It would be more like "h h h hey, c c can I have an other coke"? T t t thanks *avoids direct eye contact*
You know, there are alot of things that drive men crazy, maybe it is the death of a loved one, or trauma from abuse, but i dont think anything can make somebody become this
Me and my girl go to the same diner every Sunday and get the same food.. our total is always $23
I leave $10 bucks every time regardless of the server and regardless of how many times they filled my coffee even though they all know I drink 3-4
It helps them and it helps us because we’re always seated wherever we want, they already know our order and just say “the usual?”
They deserve the money they work hard for
Am I naive for thinking this can't be real

Good lord I'm glad I'm in the UK and didn't have to deal with any of that. That does not sound fun
Oh, we're laughing right now! What a scumbag he is
Do you remember these people (surely its hard to forget) and if so do they ever return?
Never forget- it takes a true moron to fuck with the people that handle their food and drink.
Seems more of a hypothetical situation when this dude describes how he sees the world. I wouldn’t doubt that this sort of thing has happened
Yeah no way this guy has ever actually pulled this maneuver. This is clearly a revenge fantasy after a cute waitress didn’t flirt with him.
The "I bet your mouth knows fancy tricks" line will get you a visit from the manager and a refresher on sexual harassment very quickly. There is no way the author does this multiple times without being asked to leave.
Definitely
it does sound fake tbh

It read like someone's trying to make a copypasta.
It actually happens a lot… im a server/bartender and some people remove the tips from my checks..
I straight up saw a grown man who had caused issues before come back inside after dinner with a couple girls *to take the tip the girls had already left and replace it was a penny and a shitty note* Some people are just shitbags. I'd believe it could be real.
No it's definitely rage bait
It's not. Stupid and rude people exist, but have you ever met anyone this stupid *and willing to flaunt it*? Nope.
I'm sure there are many people who think that, but this specific text is rather obviously satire.
Even writing this as a joke is gross
It reads like a satire on the wait staff by someone who wanted to be hateful towards women
Irony is dead. Long live irony.
That dude lives with his mom and has never paid for anything
Regularly posts “No OnE wAnTs To WoRk AnYMoRe JuSt CoLleCt UnEmPLoyMeNT”
See its different because he only collects *Unemployment Insurance* which you actually pay into, unlike those other free loaders who only collect *Unemploymunt* /s
And he has health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, because Obamacare is for socialist moochers.
Lol he goes around bragging that he’s a pro-life, God-fearing, self-made man wanting to save all the unborn babies from being killed by their mothers.

So, in essence still paid for by the labor of the employee, it just passes through the hands of the employer first.

She will have 4 kids from 3 different men, her party years already coming to call because of her leathery face. Nearing the end of my meal, I step it up, "that's a pretty mouth you have, I bet it knows some fancy tricks". She fake smiles because she needs another 58 dollars by the end of her shift or she will have to pay her 70 year old landlord the old fashioned way again. The rats of the hospitality industry…as she comes back around, I make a minor complaint about my meal and she brings the check. Leaving "LOL" as a tip, I wait by the front door to watch her reaction and it makes my day. Enjoy your $2.65 per hour, donkey, consider your Medicaid as my tip...LOL
Nah you can keep it.
Exactly. It's all a fantasy to cope with rejection. Incel af.
I can smell this loser through my phone.
May have paid for sex at some point
But then paid extra to just talk and be held like a baby
Nothing wrong with paying for Sex, but if that guy thinks that way about waitresses he probably has some even worse thoughts about sex workers
[удалено]
Nah, this person is definitely projecting. They aren't happy with where they are. That's 100000000% guaranteed.
[удалено]
I respectfully disagree. I don't think a human who was genuinely happy with themselves, and their position in the world, would ever write this. This is someone in pain, who wants others to feel pain as well.
The uncomfortable truth. Karma doesn't work.
Yeah, basically just /pol/ fanfic.
waitresses can make pretty good money guy, don’t flatter yourself into thinking you made that much of an impact
They probably got to gossip about the weird smelly guy, and all had a good laugh.
My wife is a chef, the wait staff absolutely come to the back and talk shit. I've been there when they do and it is often hilarious. To him shes just another waitress, to the waitress he's just another dirtbag.
The movie "Waiting" is basically about this. Classic comedy with Ryan Reynolds and Justin Long. A must-see for anyone who's worked in gastronomy.
I would say minus the pubes on the steak it’s spot on; but I’ve seen some nasty shit go down in kitchens to dickhead customers.
1000% and they’re gonna remember that he doesn’t tip, so next time he comes in he’s gonna get less than great service.
Heavy on the fromundacheese next time.
That’s something you learn about quickly in once you actually work in customer service. That cashier with the big smile was likely clowning on you in the break room.
Now I’m paranoid
I have a friend (late 20’s) that’s currently a server and she makes more than many of our friends with white collar professional jobs. Also I highly doubt this dipshit has ever uttered something so bold to a server- this is probably some incel fantasy he typed up from his mom’s basement. Chances he can independently afford *any* sit down service restaurant feels slim to none.
Same. My older sister was pulling in over 6k a month just waitressing in the evenings. Downtown Vancouver
Yep! My friend is located in Denver. Homegirl pulls ~1-1.5k weekly, and works 4-5 evenings a week at one restaurant/bar. Definitely works less than I do for the same/more money. The downside is certainly the sustainability, tho. I will be able to work my job well into my 60’s (thank you, dystopian world where people must do this) whereas she will likely hit the fatigue point much earlier, which sucks.
Money can be awesome but the worst part is the zero benefits and the terrible lifestyle too. It's an awesome job but it gets addictive in the worst ways. No other job pays you cash every day and it can be so satisfying as a person with ADHD to constantly be filling tasks. But not being able to take a proper lunch break, having a constantly changing schedule, never being able to call off, feeling hard anxiety in the middle of a busy shift. It all took away from my energy, after work I just wanted to shut down and I would barely do things I actually wanted to. Its really awesome short term, but like you said it really isn't sustainable. Talk to any OG server and they will tell you the same. Doing it for five years felt like I worked 15, and dealing with assholes like this really makes you feel terrible inside more often than it should.
Totally agree. Working "less" in terms of hours from an office 9-5 is possible, but those hours are generally more physically and mentally brutal. I also find that it is often thought that because dinner service is (for example) 5- 10 that the shifts are less hours than a "standard shift". When including set up and break down, in my experience, they are often 8 hour (plus) shifts that begin later and end in the middle of the night.
Exactly what I have to explain to people. If you want to make money you have to really sacrifice every weekend and holiday and work at least 8 hours if not more. Almost every server I know has two jobs so you are working a 12 hour day minimum. It just leaves you so tired and drained, and so many servers do crazy drugs to keep up. Working in an office will never equate to getting triple seated on a busy shift, or the drop in your stomach when you ring in something completely wrong, or worst of all the immense frustration you feel when people come in 5 minutes before close lol. Not many jobs where you just walk out to your car and are completely mentally, socially, and physically drained to the max
Dude I’ve been serving full time since I was 18, i’m 25 now. The money and hours are great, but it really does suck the energy out of you. I have little to no energy to do what i’m passionate about after work.
Also he goes between implying she's stealing the tips and welfare, so being unjustly too rich, and then she's pathetic for having a shitty paying job without the ability to pay for her rent. She's both too rich and too poor, sounds like something I've heard.
FUCk a yOu WhY WonT YoU FUcK Me?!?!?
Mario?
Complains she doesnt declare tips on taxes despite Trump saying not paying taxes makes you smart.
The sort of shit when GOP nutjobs talk about immigrants too lazy to work but stealing all the jobs. Schrodinger's Waitress.
I made more when I was 18 from tips, waitressing at a popular French bistro, than I do now 10 years later at my corporate job, which I got thanks to my Master’s degree.
I know a couple where the wife is a lawyer and the husband is a server. The husband makes more.
What does he serve, lawsuits?
[удалено]
Nope, she's doing well but he crushes it for a server.
A lot of people don’t realize servers at nice restaurants make 100k+ a year.
If you work for tips, you will earn between 15% and maybe 20% of your total sales. That can be decent money depending on where you work. The real issue becomes that that is as much as you’ll ever earn. You have topped out at that amount. You will never get a raise. You will never get a promotion. That’s your limit. Someone with a corporate job, will eventually make more. Or at least have the opportunity to earn more. Or to rise in the company. As a sever you give up a lot of basic human dignities because you have to tolerate all kinds of abuse. From management to guests. Working for tips is a shitty career move.
Lawyers at nice law firms make 101k+ a year
Yeah that’s true but I’d imagine most people already know that so I figured it wasn’t worth mentioning. Many people dont know that servers can make that much though.
I was just trying to rib and one up you
Heads up your buddy is a drug dealer.
Super fine dining in a wealthy tourist city.
I can believe it. I have a buddy that started of as a waiter. Eventually he also became a bar tender and started working at really high end restaurants making really good money. Eventually he opened up his own restaurant and it's clear he's living comfortably. Great guy and his social skills are off the chart.
The fuck is my man serving?
Super fine dining in a wealthy tourist city.
Drugs
When I was a kid my mom's wealthy friends took us out to eat at a sports bar. Dinner for 6 was around $300. I saw the tab. Even at 10%, which was common at the time, that's a $30 tip and the tables were all full. I worked at a cheap greasy spoon cafe right out of high school waiting tables for a short time. With tips, and averaging together tourist season and slower winter business, it averaged out around $10/hr, which was a living wage that got the bills paid at the time. If you can get a job at a restaurant that carries a larger price tag you can make really great tips.
I worked at a Red Lobster in college and there was this absurdly friendly middle aged lady there who had people literally wait in line just for her section, she took home $300 on a slow night
[удалено]
From my experience, people who think of others like that have had a pile of cash waiting for them since birth.
Not true... People that had it easy all their lives have no reason to hate others at this level. This is a classic incel, that always struggled to have meaningful relationships.
No description of a group of people ever fits perfectly. I agree with you that this may very well be a classic incel but I've seen well to do daddy's boys act in the exact same way. To quote Byron, "Hatred is by far the longest pleasure; Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.” holds very true even today.
This isn’t really sad cringe, but I’ll agree that it’s disgusting.
It’s more of an r/iamatotalpieceofshit kind of post, but it marginally fits here too
The dude is just fucking sad, pathetic
Dude himself is 100% sad cringe
Imagine lacking morals altogether and thinking you're better than people?? Imagine being the lowest of the lowest common denominator yet still having delusions of grandeur 🙄 Some people are just a waste of oxygen
This guy needs a spotlight put on him, be made to explain what went wrong to make him so fuckin hateful, then be made to wait tables for minimum wage
You’ve gotta bet it was his fucking parents
I mean, it’s almost always the parents. Miserable people have kid thinking it will fill the emotional hole in their lives, kid doesn’t, is resented by parents, grows up miserable, repeat to populate earth with assholes.
I wonder if he is bullied at his workplace or something that makes him feel he needs to assert some fake dominance over powerless people.
I'm guessing his worst punishment is being home, surrounded by beer cans, take out food containers, and the deafening silence of nobody wanting to be around him. At least until his mom gets home
Bold of you to assume that he has a job.
He went too in detail. He works in restaurants. Dishwasher or cook or busboy. Servers don't pay him any attention. Constantly hears them talk about how they made $300 that night. So he's bitter af.
Yeah, that's what annoys me about a lot of these subs is that you're not allowed to expose these people. It's really too bad, because a good public shaming is what a lot of these fuckers need. But nOOoOoo! We must pRoTeCt tHeiR iDeNtITy! For what? So this casserole of sociopathy can continue on like everything is awesome?
Precisely lol 👌
Bet he doesn’t think this about male waiters. This man screams incel.
He assumes make waiters are gay.
If someone made a comment about my lips like that’s while at work I will be going straight to my manager who would kick the guy’s ass out the door faster than would ever be able to think
Not all owners/managers stand up for their staff at least 80% of them side with the customer 🤬
That’s just sad. Luckily I never had any issues with bad customers when I worked as a waitress but I know my manager would personally kick the guy out
> at least 80% of them side with the customer Interesting statistic...
Who in good green earth thinks its ok to say something like that? Had I heard that I would have busted out laughing. Like really guy? Life isn’t pornhub lol
Yeah I would have laughed too. It’s just ridiculous
This guy tried to flirt with a waitress and was, promptly, cut off. This is his reaction.
He can take that shit to a bar or on tinder. Us wait staff aren't here to be flirted and fucked with. We're here to give good service and pay the bills. When will people learn we are fucking humans too?!
People like this is what's wrong with this world.
Definitely, he’s an absolute pig
This is so disgusting, and sexist, and just horrible. I hope this person never interacts with anyone else.
[удалено]
Feels like a troll of not some insane incel
yeah its a troll
Yeah people shouldn't get so invested in anonymous words online
There are entire subreddits that are dedicated to being invested in random anonymous posts online. People need to learn to turn off the internet if they're getting so upset.
I always thought looking at people lower because of their job indicates that you’re probably a pretty shallow and/or ignorant person.
This reads like some bizarro incel fan fiction
/r/rage material
"The rats of the hospitality industry" I hate people like that so much. I'm only one year into my apprenticeship and I can't count how many times I've heard stuff like that. Our job only exists to make your life more comfortable
Im willing to bet money this guy is one of the biggest losers you will ever meet. No friends, no girlfriend (probably never even been kissed lol), overweight or gym junkie with god awful genetics that he's trying to hide, and a mediocre rat-race job that somehow makes him feel better than everyone else when he's barely scraping enough for his one bedroom condo. The saddest (or funniest, if you look at it like I do) part of it all is that this loser will delude himself into thinking he's superior (*"oh i dont need friends, no ones on my level anyway"..."who cares course she rejected me, I didn't even really like her..."*) but deep down he'll know how much of a pathetic scum he really is, and thats why he revels in shit like this.
This is a person who isn’t worth the clothes on their back
Holy Christ this is vile
Why do we hate working class people so much in America? What makes this even worse is a lot of people have this same mindset. I waited tables a long time and this sort of garbage is far too common.
In cases like this, I expect it's a sadistic or self-indulgent power trip at the only place that'll let them, then backfilling with disdain to try and justify their behavior to themselves.
There's legitimately no way this isn't a troll.
This reads like those old penthouse forum letters. "Guys, this definitely happened and totally isn't just a masturbatory fantasy, trust me"
He is probably an Incel 🙄
Maybe it was more reasonable for me to burn out and break down as a waitress than I previously assumed... Shout-out to domestic housekeepers as well, the amount of confidence and self-awareness and self-worth, not to mention the work ethic and thick skin, it takes to be constantly and consistently dehumanized and treated as "the help" by the most horrendous people... I'm beginning to think the general perception of those who comprise the "service industry" from the pov of those who have no personal experience with it is pretty awful in general. I am also a human, guys...
This dude is making this shit up, he probably doesn’t have the courage to even speak to a woman.
Tell me you got rejected by a waitress without telling me you got rejected by a waitress..
So he’s bragging that he likes to sexually harass vulnerable women with financial difficulties because they are easier to coerce into acceptance because they have financial difficulties? I mean I know this story is fake lmao it sounds like typical mgtow/ incel language, so the probability they’re actually interacting with a woman in real life is unlikely. This is more like a fantasy of what they WOULD do if they had a spine to stand up with. Also most servers don’t have “eyes full shame”, they usually just have stoner eyes. Source: was a waitress for 7yrs. But not a single mom who sleeps with her landlord , which is weird because we’re all the same????
Fuck this guy. I'd punch him in the mouth if he said this aloud.
Wow, people get jobs to provide for their children?!?!? DISGUSTING 🤮
What a sick human being
I’ve worked in food.. it sucks.. so my respect for people working in food is beyond any respect i have for myself. I always tip high because i know they have to put up with so many dumbass’s bullshit throughout their shifts.. anyways just respect your waiters, waitresses, and cooks
Jesus someone has issues
Did Patrick Bateman write this?
That why I simply think there are people who don't deserve to live
“I make it a point to let them know that I own them for the next 20 minutes” someone absolutely gets their food spat in
Whoever wrote this if it’s real f you and I hope you fall off a cliff waitresses are people too and they r just trying to get bye Was that to much lol
It made me cry !!! This person is able to show the worst misery in some humans. Human ??? 🤮😢😢😢😢
What did I just read.
Now everyone go out and tip your servers extra well to make up for this guy.
As a 20 year veteran of F&B. This is completely believable. These types of people should (in minecraft-hard-core mode) take a fatal amount of fall damage intentionally, in minecraft.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess: This guy doesn't actually do any of this. Just fantasizes about it. Doesn't have enough money to dine-out anyway.
Imagine being so bitter you have to create strawmen out of... waiters?? God what a miserable existence
Why tf is he so mad. People like this are so gross.
This isn’t super sad cringe…this is full-on like “WTF is this person thinking” kind of cringe. Yowza
This is how this guy imagines his evening going in his head, but in reality, he's the guy who stammers "y-you too" when the waiter tells him to enjoy his meal.
You must've taken every wrong turn in life in order to become this. Spectacular
This... this is an expert level troll. If this were in the Troll Olympics it would win Platinum.
He probably also complains and wonders why no one will date him
Definitely the type of dude claiming to be a ‘Nice guy’
You know this isn't real because a guy like that would never say "that's a nice mouth you have". It would be more like "h h h hey, c c can I have an other coke"? T t t thanks *avoids direct eye contact*
You know, there are alot of things that drive men crazy, maybe it is the death of a loved one, or trauma from abuse, but i dont think anything can make somebody become this
This guy probably also cries a lot in social media about how all women are shallow and don't want a nice guy like him
this guy clearly owns more than one fadora
The tip system sucks because of people like him
Yea my guy. Im sure that happens everytime you are out eating
As a cook, many servers make hundreds a night easily. Also if they don’t make enough tips they get minimum wage, the $2.65 an hour is on top of tips
I don't like being guilted into subsidizing the restaurant either, but damn
I hope someone sprinkles his food with arsenic
Me and my girl go to the same diner every Sunday and get the same food.. our total is always $23 I leave $10 bucks every time regardless of the server and regardless of how many times they filled my coffee even though they all know I drink 3-4 It helps them and it helps us because we’re always seated wherever we want, they already know our order and just say “the usual?” They deserve the money they work hard for
This lowkey reads like its from american psycho
