A little common courtesy goes a long way.
There is some sort of dining etiquette that customers should follow when eating out — and when they don’t, that’s a surefire way to piss off waitstaff.
One frustrated server named Kiley took to TikTok to share her customer “icks” — and she made a few justifiable points.
“These are the icks that I get as a server that customers give me. I’m going to give you three,” Kiley started in her video that has racked up over 100,000 views and over 1,000 comments.
“No. 1 is when I walk up to a table and I’m like ‘Hi, my name is…’ and before I could even get my f—ing name out, this b–ch is like ‘Diet Coke.’ Okay, can you wait 10 seconds?… now you’re going to get a regular Coke,” she explained, clearly far too familiar with this specific type of encounter.
“I hate that… be patient, babe. I will get you your drink order — just let me say my name.”
The second ick has to do with free refills — something many of you are probably experienced in asking for when eating out.
“No. 2 is when somebody asks me if they get free refills on strawberry lemonade. I already f—ing know I’m about to get 45 of these f—ing strawberry lemonades and it’s going to be a $2 tip — or zero,” the frustrated restaurant worker said in her video.
She continued by saying that when people ask her that, she will automatically tell them the restaurant is out of strawberry lemonade.
Her third ick is when she’s waiting on a couple and the jealous girlfriend thinks Kiley is Mr. Steal Your Man.
“I do everything in my power to make her feel comfortable. I compliment her, I just look at her. I don’t even acknowledge her man, and yet she’s still got that little attitude…b–ch I don’t want your man, your man looks like a f—ing gremlin… and it’s usually a low tip.”
While Kiley is airing out her grievances online — another restaurant worker confronted a cheap table that stiffed her on a tip, and then got fired for it.
“I said, ‘Hey, was my service bad or something?’ and they were like, ‘No.’ And I go, ‘Well, you didn’t leave me a tip,’ and he was like, ‘I left you $7,’” TikTokker @picklejuicelover33 recounted in a now-viral video.
She wasn’t buying it.
“And the blatant lying pissed me off,” she continued. “And I was like, ‘No, you didn’t,’ and he was like, ‘Yes, I did,’ and I go, ‘Here, look,’ and he was like, ‘Well, it must have been an accident.’”
After a little more back and forth between the server and the customer — the diner ran to the manager to complain, which got the employee fired.
