Not everybody wants a big to-do on their birthday. If you’re an introvert with a small friend group, a small get-together at a modest restaurant is the perfect way to commemorate being one year older. But that won’t satisfy everyone, and it’s not a crime to say exactly what kind of birthday party you want. …

If you’ve ever watched the show Supernanny, you know how far kids will go to get their way, especially if their parents have proven time and time again that they’re pushovers.

Dad invites 26-year-old daughter to dinner with his 36-year-old girlfriend and her 13-year-old daughter, girlfriend excludes her from sitting with them when they get to the restaurant: ‘My father’s girlfriend told the host, «Table for 2″‘
It doesn’t feel very good to be in a situation where you have a sense that you’re not wanted. Last weekend, I was third-wheeling with two good friends, and the whole time, I had a gut feeling that it probably wasn’t ideal for them to have me there. They weren’t being cruel to me, they …

‘Circling the tip amount was simply too cheeky’: Group call out friend who tipped 0% at sit down restaurant, he claims he didn’t get service
Tipping culture has definitely changed over the years. The expectations have increased, and it can seem like more and more of the burden of a service industry worker’s salary is put on the customer than it is the management. This can feel unfair to folks who might be bootstrapped themselves but don’t want to put …

‘The shift in McDonald’s vibe from 90’s to today captures everything wrong with society’: Paltry McDonald’s PlayPlace features only 2 screens and 2 chairs for kids to play with
If you were a child of the ’90s or the 2000s, there’s a good chance you have some vivid memories in the hallowed tubes of a fast-food playplace.

Server earns $2500 tip on a $150 meal, restaurant manager refuses to pay it out to them: ‘I feel like I just got robbed’
Working in the service industry is no walk in the park. It’s exhausting, often thankless work. Long nights, annoying customers, and lower back pain from standing all day– service workers are no strangers to these. But it can all feel worth it when you have a particularly meaningful interaction with a customer that results in …

‘I found our server and the hostess both scrolling on their phones in silence’: Husband and wife refuse to tip waitress after being forgotten by her for 25 minutes after being seated, even after telling the hostess once 15 minutes had passed
Complaining about Karens and other «Can I speak to the manager» types is easy. At this point, it has almost become a cliche, with middle-aged women around the world being terrified of the Karen accusations. We all love to hate the Karens, but when they’re gone, we’ll miss them. Karens, or rather, anyone gutsy enough …

Customers insist restaurant use brand new silverware that has never touched meat before, then leave when server tries to accommodate: ‘They only use meat free tools, right?’
When working in the restaurant industry, it’s important to accommodate customers’ dietary needs and restrictions. If you’re not too careful, your restaurant might have a lawsuit on its hands because a customer had an allergic reaction because of the staff’s carelessness. But what about dietary restrictions that are merely a choice? Of course, the restaurant …

Selfish girlfriend and friends stick boyfriend with $550 dinner bill despite having no prior discussion about who would pay: ‘I didn’t let the other guests leave before paying’
Splitting the bill can be an uncomfortable affair. There’s a Portlandia sketch where a group is out for a birthday dinner, and they call in a «Fixer» type that comes in and helps them settle the bill. Who got what entree, who was drinking, how much are we tipping? Bang, boom, there ya go. It’s …

Customer refuses to ‘pay forward’ the $42 coffee order from the car behind him after a kind stranger pays for his $4 coffee: ‘The cashier looked at me with total contempt’
I’m so glad I never worked in a drive-thru window because if I did, I would’ve floundered the second somebody wanted to pay for the person behind them. I don’t know how to pull up the credit card information of a customer who just left! What are you, nuts? Against all odds, drive-thru employees find …
