Entitled Military Wife Allegedly Loses It When Restaurant Makes Her Pay For The Wine She Ordered
Everyone hates people who don’t tip, and everyone hates people who have self-congratulatory reasons for not tipping even more. You’re not sticking it to the restaurant’s company policies or the US tipping system, only whichever poor person was unlucky enough to have to serve you for less than minimum wage that day.
That said, this has to be one of the biggest stretches someone has made for a reason as to why they think they’re above having to tip. Someone posted this picture of a receipt on which one such customer voiced her frustrations, complete with the favorite emoticon of passive-aggressive note-writers everywhere, =), that she didn’t get her entire bill comped as thanks for doing “the toughest job in the military”: being a military spouse.
Someone posted a picture of this angry rant on a receipt
We’re not sure if anyone’s pointed out that this receipt doesn’t have a signature line on it and states that she already paid… so at least we can take solace in the fact that she rightfully did get hit with the cost of those two glasses of wine that cost almost as much as the bottle retails for.
Commenters were appalled, but pointed out that this kind of behavior is sadly not uncommon among military spouses.
Commenters can’t believe the entitlement

Share on Facebook"next time thank a military spouse" Ok, thank you for marrying someone who is fighting for our country. Now pay for your wine and get out.
News flash: My parents BOTH served. One USNavy, one USArmy. And the REAL deal don't ask for handouts or use their status as active *or* retired military to demand "mroe" than any everyday civilian. If you're bragging, you ain't been "there", the end.
I totally agree with you. My dad was a member of the Texas national guard and made it to the rank of staff sergeant, but says he is not a veteran. My sister and I have both told him otherwise since childhood. My point is, he has never asked for a discount and neither has my mom.
Load More Replies...I work in the restaurant industry as a chef. If ANYONE deserves combat pay, mental health pay, extra pay it's the waitress and waiters who have to deal with customers like this useless tool.
Over reacting a bit. As having done the infantry thing and served tables I would pick waiting any day.
Load More Replies...I admit I am embarrassed when people say thank you for your service. I was a photojournalist in the army who skated through, the worst thing that happened to me was a bad case of poison ivy.
That country... wow. I've always found it ridiculous how Americans celebrate and worship their soldiers for fighting in wars they started themselves, and that in no way were/are necessary for keeping the country safe. I.e. imperialist. That their wives also want free wine because of it fits right into it in my opinion.
If the military was not marketed like a larger-than-life entity, the military-industrial complex would never be able to get away with such an incredibly large portion of the US tax payer's money being spent on so-called 'defense'. The top three countries on military spending are the United States 649, China 250 and 3 Saudi Arabia 67 (USD, billions). https://sipri.org/sites/default/files/2019-04/fs_1904_milex_2018_0.pdf

Load More Replies...I'm a military mom, daughter, sister, niece, and cousin. Never did it occur to me to ask for anything for free. All I've ever asked for is to honor our veterans and military heroes. What nonsense those who think they're entitled to anything other than being related to one who is serving.
Two veterans in this house and we don't tell people. One of my neighbors of going on 20 years recently found out and asked us why we didn't tell him, turns out there is no polite way to tell someone its none of their business, when you've known them that long. As far as we're concerned it will only make a difference when we're dead because we are allowed, not entitled to use certain symbols on our grave markers, which we will because our children insist on it.
Meh. This person (assuming for the sake of argument it's real) would be a witch no matter who they married.
Veteran here: my wife paid full price. My wife never expected ANYTHING for free simply b/c she married me. She expected hardships, and dealt with them. This poor excuse for a woman is the exact gold digger that the rank warns you about. She is a poor excuse for a human, and a bad image on those who really suffer for being married to military. I wish i could see her in person and backhand her to her next life!
She done lost her f*****g mind its harder to be a military spouse than be in the military she was on sum. Like fr
My Dad was a WWII vet, and I have never even heard of a military discount, let alone free stuff. He wouldn't have accepted it anyway, if for no other reason because he never saw combat. But his older brother was a machine-gunner and came home with "shellshock" that he never recovered from. I don't think he ever got anything for free, either.
I don’t even asks for discounts and I never tell anyone my husband is in military unless I am asked. I am a working professional with a career and a 40 hour a week job. I have zero patience for other wives who think they are special because of their husband. YOU are not the one who is in the military sweetcheeks - LOVE - an Army spouse :) :)
YOU didn't do no s**t for the country. Your HUSBAND did! He's the one out there protecting the country and risking his life, not you. So suck it up and stop being an entitled bitch, got it?
I've been serving in the military for nearly two decades and I would be horrified to ask for anything free, let alone demand something. And yet a spouse thinks they are something special...
The military is a job. You get paid for it. It has benefits and downsides. I get sick of people glorifying someone for doing there job. They are not heroes. A hero to me is someone who goes above and beyond. They are just doing what they get paid to do.
(Part 2 of 2): But the person I thought of when I saw this is the kind of woman who is an amazing example of what ANY kind of human being should be. Her husband was deployed several times for a year at a time over the last decade, even though he was naval reserves, not even active duty Navy. She held down the fort (granted, with the support of friends and family), took care of their 4 kids while also working, and did all of that worrying about what might happen to him in Afghanistan in the thick of warfare. She did not whine or complain or demand any discounts or rights as a result of being a military spouse. She just put her head down and did what had to be done. And I'll tell you what -- THAT woman is the one who is worthy of discounts and free coffees and a free dessert and whatever else.THAT woman DID sacrifice hugely, and did so with grace and a steadfastness that should be a shining example to every military spouse as to how to live with that status. Nothing but respect for her.
And I bet it would not even enter her mind to leave a receipt scribbled like this..She has class and common sense.
Load More Replies...(Part 1 of 2): First of all, I am not a gung-ho 'Merica-patriot-military-worshipping person. By any stretch. I appreciate the soldiers who truly do make sacrifices, though. And so both angles of this story bug me. First of all, the entitled military spouse. Are they really like that? I don't know many military spouses, but the one who comes to mind is NOTHING like this. More on her in a minute. Second of all, the opposing "side" here -- the people slamming military spouses and saying they don't actually deserve any kind of credit, they don't actually do any hard work, etc. REALLY??? I mean, sure, if you're stationed stateside and get to see your spouse at the end of every day. (On to part 2 of this comment ...)
I hope the serving spouce comes home safely... So they can divorce this entitled garbage person.
I have lived in the military community my entire life—first as a child then as a spouse. My father & husband both retired from the military and my son served. First to the contributor who stated military spouses don’t serve - I respectfully disagree. My mother was pregnant with her 5th child when my father went to Vietnam. She single handedly cared for 4 children 8 and under and gave birth while my father was gone. We moved every 3 years. As a spouse we moved 5 times in 11 years and each time I moved alone (4 of those times were from overseas). I could go on & on. Does that entitle me to free drinks? NO!!!! It is nice to get discounts but certainly not expected or entitled to. Also to those who disparaged military spouses—99% of the spouses I met were supportive, kind, generous and certainly not entitled. As to the pay, it sucks! My husband makes 5x as much as a civilian for doing the same job.
I am so amazed at the gaul for her even thinking she should be getting anything for FREE, like WOW! What a dipweed! Yes, you wanna give something free to somone, give it to her husband. She doesn't deserve squat. With a wife like his, I feel sorry for him.
Well, I have never met any military spouse, but I'm pretty sure they shouldn't act like that.
To be clear, military spouses DO serve. They just don't get paid for it. I'm an Air Force brat and I can assure you that the times my Special Forces dad had to travel, and that was quite often, my mom was the one who had to make sure her three sons were up, fed, had lunches packed, and were off to school on time each morning. She had to make sure laundry was done and dinner was ready. she did all this while holding a job working retail as well. She made sure we got to all our (insert sport here) practices, games, and even marching band while making sure she had time to be in attendance as well. She attended PTA nights and parent/teacher conferences, spelling bees, science fairs, and fall festivals. Yes, military spouses do serve but I can assure you, my mom never asked for or expected anything for free in return.
Being in the military or married to the military doesn't somehow mean you're more noble or more deserving of anything. The military is a job.
i have to laugh.. every time the US goes off to war , 30 seconds later its "bring our troops back". What part of enlisting in the military did you not get? thats like saying "im a fire fighter and hate fighting fires". don't like it? don't enlist. want free stuff? go on a game show.
I came from a military family , then I married military. In 20 years of being a military brat , and 23 years of being a military wife , I NEVER saw a military wife act this way: I think this is fake. Military wives are super heroes. Look up the poem about a military wife . We are woman who do it all. We mom, we wife , we fix appliances/cars/anything on our own. We build things and hold a household together single handedly . Integrity is very important to us. I think somebody is just trying to get upvotes and reposts . No way would an actual military wife behave that way
translation: my spouse was dumb enough to join the military in which we attack brown people for a corporate sociopath and sometimes I get lonely, therefore I deserve free stuff
Surprise! 100% of these “Restaurant Receipt Stories” are fake, and posted to grab your attention and make you feel outraged about something. If you thought this was true, it probably exposes your feelings about those serving in the military in general, and shows how easily duped you are.
She simply have to come from US. Because your hubby was a hero dont entitle you to "free stuff".If anyone should be "thanked" it was your hubby.
lol uhh simply put can't give alcohol for free at any restaurant babe. Not even legal. You want "free"? It all comes at a price. (see what i did there at the end folks ;) )
As a veteran, I do sometimes ask if the store (usually not a restaurant) has a military discount. But I am NEVER irate or anything if I don't get one and would never leave such a horrible note on a server's charge - not the server's fault if the company/restaurant doesn't have a discount. I've been both an active duty member and a spouse. I've had to set a few (yes they were wives and even a couple of kids) straight that they do not wear their husband's rank. I do thank them for the support they give to their Soldier (universal term for military personnel) and there is no doubt that it is a very tough job being a family member of a Soldier, (moving every 3-5 years, being a single parent during year-long deployments, military bullsh*t that comes along, etc.) they did not earn the rank that their spouse holds nor ALL the entitlement it comes with it (just some and that usually is on a base or post).
To many people think they are entitled to free stuff for some reason or other, full of there own self importance, selfish and often rude.
This entitled b***h should be on the wall of shame in every establishment in her area. I bet her chesticles clink when she walks.
I have plenty family who served. Never do they ask for ANYTHING. I would never ever do such a thing if I was a spouse of a soldier. How degrading for the poor gentleman. I'll gladly thank him for his service and his sacrifice for all of us. But she's acting entitled and rude.
When someone learns I’m a Vet, there is the inevitable comment, ‘thank you for you service/sacrifice ‘ . My go to reply is ‘your 50 years to late’.
This is what we call "wearing your spouses rank". Really lady? This is disgusting to say the least about your entitlement thru your spouse!!
