12 Times When People Had Really Bad Restaurant Etiquette
If you’ve ever worked in the service industry, you know the drill: you’re gonna have your fair share of horrible customers who are rude, crude, and ignorant.
And you just gotta deal with them because you know that when one walks out the door, another one isn’t too far behind.
But still…these people really suck.
And we’re about to see some really bad examples of what I’m talking about.
Let’s see what these jerks are up to now…
1. Ma’am, you need to go back and check your math.
Just trust us on this one.
2. This one is pretty bad.
What a total jerk!
I can’t believe people can be this stupid. Found this on Twitter and thought it would fit here. from facepalm
3. I’d ban these people from my restaurant forever.
This is so bad.
4. And here we have another total a**hole.
What is wrong with people?
Latina waitress received racist note instead of tip from iamatotalpieceofshit
5. Maybe you just need to stay home?
I think that would be the best idea for everyone.
6. Well, isn’t that adorable?
Why can’t parents control their children? At least a little bit?
A group of kids filled it up and the parents shouted at customers attempting to complain from trashy
7. No underage drinking, sorry.
Also, that’s YOUR problem, young people.
My friend waited on two underage kids who tried to order drinks. Stiffing servers has always made someone a bad person, but during a pandemic when benefits have run out and restaurant employees are struggling more than they already did? Despicable. from trashy
8. Entitled is one way to put it.
I think that’s a polite way of describing these folks. Just stay home!
Decades of "the customer is always right" has created the most entitled idiots in human history. from facepalm
9. Makin’ a mess and not even caring.
The rudeness is strong with these folks.
My aunt and her friend took me to dinner. These 10 lovely people sat next to us, and didn’t even leave a tip! from iamatotalpieceofshit
10. You should be tipping me!
Sorry, it doesn’t work that way.
Seen on a Facebook post on how people should tip their servers 20% from JustBootThings
11. Jacka** overload with these customers.
People like this shouldn’t be allowed outside of the house.
12. Dirty diaper? Really?
Some people will never learn.
My cousin just posted this on Facebook. She is a waitress at Outback and this was left behind. from trashy
Ugh…sometimes, people are really the worst.
Do you have any of your own restaurant horror stories?
If so, tell us about them in the comments. Thanks in advance!

Tweets People Who Work in Restaurants Will Understand
Restaurant jobs sure are hard. And tough.
Having worked them a bunch is sort of a badge of honor – it’s like the military service of the job market.
And who better to complain about that sort of thing in a funny way than the people of Twitter, who are serving up a steaming hot entree of sass with a side of “tip me 20%+ or go home, you cheap jerks.”
Let’s get to the tweets.
10. Boxed in
I worked at a pizza chain once and I got so good at folding the boxes I might have been some sort of world record holder.

8. On the line
Look, I didn’t become a cook to cook food.

Line cooks: you gotta be FUCKIN KIDDING ME

7. Dead serious
We can all hope for such miracles, and one day they may come.
Most of being a server is just hoping that it’s going to be dead but that you’ll somehow still make $200
— Phil Eagle (@phileagle_) November 2, 2019
6. On the mat
“But I heard they use chemicals.”
If you have ever picked up one of these with your barehands, you don’t need to worry about what’s in the vaccine. pic.twitter.com/LlObdM5G4n
— FunctioningSadaholic (@JacobDisagrees) December 18, 2020
5. To the extreme
How can a person even have that kind of mental focus and persistence of memory?
Trying to tell a story to your work colleague in between serving customers is an extreme sport
— Maryam (@_maryamgangat) June 8, 2019
4. Open for business
For you? Never. Get in here, ya big lug.
“Are you closed??????”
no ma’am, we actually just decided to lock the front and start mopping for fun
— ????? (@katiekml) August 5, 2018
3. Sorry not sorry
I almost never get angry with the representative I’m talking to, I know that if there’s bullsh*t happening it is almost certainly not their fault.
Interviewer: Why do you want to work in customer service?
Me: Well, I'm really good at apologizing for things that aren't my fault
— Ethan Smith (@NotEthanSmith_) July 24, 2018
2. Cold storage
In here, no one can hear you sob.

1. By the way
Just a fair warning you should probably order now, or five minutes ago, or just leave.
customer: hello
me: we close in 2 hours 7 minutes and 15 seconds by the way
