“I used to work in a restaurant where we would leave empty glasses on the table. A woman in the restaurant didn’t feel well and started to vomit, but instead of running to the bathroom, she started grabbing the empty water glasses and vomiting in them.<\/b> She filled all the glasses on her table, and even started grabbing them from others. She filled about five glasses with her vomit in the middle of the restaurant, then left them on the table for the server to clean up. She didn’t even tip.”<\/p>\n

“Had a customer complain about hair in his food. After an apology, I got him a fresh plate. Two minutes later, the guy loses his shit and dumps the food on the floor because he found more hair in it. As I cleaned up the food from the floor, I realized there was quite a lot of hair on the floor and chair where the man sat. Turns out, it was his own hair!<\/b>”<\/p>\n

They asked why i worked there and I told them I was a college student paying my way through college. One of them pays for the meal and doesn’t leave a tip. Instead, he left me a nice note saying that because I was a college student, I should get a real job and be making real money.<\/b>”<\/p>\n

One day, my GM had enough and told them that if they weren’t paying for the extra stuff, they would no longer get it. After the rush, one of the kitchen guys told me there’s something I needed to see. When I walked in the bathroom, I looked down and saw that one of the aforementioned high school boys had pooped in one of their food bowls and left it for us to find<\/b> (all because we wanted to charge him for extra sauce).”<\/p>\n
