Anyone who's ever worked in the food service industry is bound to have met one of these—an extremely rude customer who shouldn't be allowed back into the restaurant. Or to order food ever again! The sad part is, rude customers aren't even that rare.
They're pretty darn common and make the lives of waiters, restaurant employees, and baristas a waking nightmare. Bored Panda wanted to show you some of the things service industry personnel have been through with rude customers, so we collected some of the best posts by servers from all over the net. As you scroll down, upvote the posts that made you feel for these workers, and be sure to leave us a comment with your own experiences serving food in the comment section. Would you like fries with that?
Alexander Kjerulf, the founder and Chief Happiness Officer of ‘Woohoo inc.' told Bored Panda that if your workplace is causing you to forget that you're a human being who's worthy of care and humane treatment, you shouldn't work there anymore. "Quit, and find a better place to work, where they actually care about their staff," he told Bored Panda. "And quit sooner rather than later. The longer you stay, the more they will grind you down until you lose all the energy and optimism you need to move on and find a better job."
Alexander actually made an entire video about quitting a bad job. Meanwhile, you'll find the rest of the insights that he shared with us below. Anyone who's working in the service industry, whether you're a server, a cook, or a manager, should have a read.

Getting served by gay people is ok, but tipping them is not...
"I would have given you"... So, homophobic AND illiterate, what a wonderful person!
Sometimes you just look at a person and think, WTF is going on inside their head!
Gross - this implied the poor server was being hit on and rejected the advances of the creepy customer. Not only did the server have to be harassed but there is not tip too.
That's exactly what happened to me a few times. I ignored sexual advances, then was called mean homophobic slurs, while waiting tables to put myself through school. Now I stare them down and pull out my pepper spray.;0))

terrible service if they come back? They would soon run out of places to eat out and have to eat the garbage they cook themselves.
Don't treat the wait staff like modern day slaves and pay them appropriately. Also, Mr High and Mighty Homophobe needs to learn how to spell.
idc if there were straight and this is a karen and idc if they weren't i just wanna watch my friend feel pain today
I’d say “and If you were gay, I wouldn’t have spit in your food” I mean who thinks it’s their business to take money out of someone’s pocket (who provided a service to them no less ) just because you don’t like their sexual orientation? People are so shitty.
That’s clearly not the same handwriting, just look at the 0 and the o’s. Obviously fake. The writing isn't even close to the numbers. The O's would have matched the zeros. The period doesn't match the number's period. Someone changed writing styles halfway through to disguise their own writing (sudden random way of writing A's).
I don't like LGBTQA negative people. Be who you wanna be, like you you wanna like!
well damn. i guess i'm not getting money. wouldn't ever give up liking girls for it.
please note that the minimum wage does not apply to servers . And EMPLOYERS can do this legally . THEY NEED THAT TIP .
"If you were a decent human being, I wouldn't feel the need to share this on the internet."
Someone simply finding excuses lame as they are, to not pay their waiter/waitress a tip, he/she obviously deserved, just for waiting on them. I can't imagine the treatment meeted out, with glances, hushed words, they may have inadvertently conveyed.
if you werent homophobic i wouldnt have served you poison
Of you were intelligent, you would contribute something positive to the human race
I'd like to know how the customer knew the server was gay on sight- I'd happily take tips (from the server haha!)
This is why all servers should receive a decent wage and no tips allowed as in many countries.
Back when I was a front manager at a restaurant, I decided I wouldn't put up with disrespectful people and made them leave. I always tell them "This waitress works hard everyday and comes in to work to hopefully please customers enough to earn a living. We won't tolerate or placate any disrespectful behaviour, you have one choice that is to apologise to your service staff and be polite, or continue with your selfish entitled tirade and you can leave the angry and bitter person you are. We don't need your 30.00 dollars and I'm sure the rest of the respectful customers will appreciate what I've done here." I found when the employees are happy they work harder, better, and are motivated enough to care about the restaurant.
I'm amazed reading all of the examples submitted so far. It's appalling that these "essential" workers, who are waiting on people by serving them food they have chosen, are being treated like it's payback time to their moms, who never got tipped for serving your sorry little asses, since giving birth to you, bottle or breast, 24/7 service. Pay them a decent wage. Mother's Day is one of the biggest days for the restaurant business. It's like going to church only on the big days. Because it looks good. The crappy treatment of those who serve you because that's their job and you feel that's what they are supposed to do for you, no matter how rudely and shitty you act is just wrong. Next time you go out to eat, your dinner, leftover whatever will be waiting in the microwave. Get it your damn self. And turn the dishwasher on after you add your dishes from dinner and any left all over the place. God Couldn't Be Everwhere, So He Made Mothers". They just went on strike. You're on your own.
Not meaning to sound nasty but why don't the companies pay their staff a decent bloody wage then they wouldn't have to rely on bigoted toasters like this.
How do they know if the wait person was gay???? Why even go there if you don't like them?? F-tard moron POS!!
Maybe he meant straight as in straight forward.....(I know but I am trying to be positive)
...and if you were a human being, you wouldn't care. Try not to choke on the leftovers.
The word is homophobia, thouh both are equally wrong.

Alexander was upfront that employees should expect and demand support from their managers. "I know that it's common for restaurants to treat their customers like kings and their employees [badly], but that doesn't mean it's OK," he said.
"99% of people are nice, but the occasional rude client is unavoidable," Alexander from 'Woohoo inc.' said that there's no avoiding rudeness in the long run. "You can learn tricks to deal with them, and that's great, but no one should have to put up with mistreatment."
For Alexander, working in the service industry doesn't mean that others can walk all over you. "Having a service job does not mean that other people get to demean you or belittle you and managers must be willing to step in and protect employees' dignity and mental health."
Latina Waitress Received Racist Note Instead Of Tip

Tipping's either a sore subject or a complete non-problem depending on where you live. In the United States, for example, tipping at a restaurant or a cafe is nearly ubiquitous. You're bound to get some weird glances and questions if you refuse to tip or if you don't tip enough.

A Feeble Attempt To Get Out Of Tipping
My Cousin Just Posted This On Facebook. She Is A Waitress At Outback And This Was Left Behind
I'll be frank. The US tipping system… is a bit weird. It's on the same plane of existence as not posting the full price of a meal or a product with the tax included. However weird forced tipping might be (and how it essentially makes customers, not the employers, pay a large chunk of the workers' wages), it doesn't change the fact that it's a cultural thing in the States. You just do it.

Rudeness, however, isn't just linked to tips. Customers from hell find all sorts of ways to belittle servers. From namecalling and ‘flirting' to acting like spoiled, entitled children (no offense to spoiled and entitled kids). However, employees shouldn't rise to the provocations while also protecting their own dignity.

Worst Tip Ever
Earlier, I'd had a chat with Alexander from ‘Woohoo inc.' about what people should do when dealing with rude customers. “Keep your cool and remember that whatever abuse they're giving you is no reflection on you as a person,” he said.

They should be charged with child endangerment, and criminal stupidity.
Smoking In A Non-Smoking Restaurant Because You Do What You Have To
“That customer doesn't even know you, so there's no way it could be you. But on the other hand, don't be subservient. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself and tell customers that abuse is not tolerated. And if it persists, hand them over to a manager as soon as you can and let them deal with it,” Alexander explained how we should deal with problematic people. It's all about striking a balance between being professional and having a spine.
However, Alexander pointed out that not all customers who behave badly are bad people in and of themselves. There's a bit of nuance there! “It can be a good person having a bad day and that's why they're acting out.”
Stop Tipping And These Folks Will Land Better Jobs

Though that doesn't change the fact that some customers really are rude because they thrive on it and know that being bullies works (sometimes). “The sad truth is that some customers act this way because they've learned that it works and will get them discounts or preferential treatment,” Alexander, the Chief Happiness Officer at ‘Woohoo inc.' said.

You never know when someone is doing the best they can. You also don't know if they've been trained to be more hands off. You may wind up taking it out on the wrong person
What's more, Alexander added that rather than thinking that the customer is always right, we should go for something more down-to-earth like “be nice.” Or at least avoiding being rude. Of course, this goes for customers and employees alike! “Whenever I'm a customer anywhere, I always try to be kind and positive to the staff—even when occasionally I have to complain about something. It's literally the least I can do.”

We'd love to hear your stories about the rude customers you've had to deal with, dear Pandas. What's your go-to strategy for somebody who's acting entitled and ruining your day? Do you stay professional and diplomatic all the time or do you confront them when they've overstepped your boundaries? Let us know what you think below.
The tipping culture in the states is so messed up, not only because its completely unethical for places to pay so little that they rely on tips so heavily, but it gives douchebags a platform to try and belittle and offend others to boost their own misguided ego
Correct. The customer chooses whether they want to pay for something they already received. The system is based entirely on the ethics of semi-anonymous individuals, and places the risk purely on the employee, not the business.

Yes but also it's more than just that. Even in places where you get paid by the hour people still let you get treated like dirt and won't stick up for you or let you stick up for yourself.

America really needs to fix their wages issue. Relying on tips must be extremely stressful on what is already a very hard job.
Indeed. It CAN be proliferous, whilst establishing YOUR own clientele/customer base, however. Thirty years, and it got me my PhD. I've been SO out of the 'serving' industry for the last 10 years, thank the Heavens!! (Or whatever/whomever you believe in!!)

Rude customers are everywhere, but being angry at customers who don't tip is really just an American issue. If tipping is optional, then the waiters have no grounds to complain if someone doesn't tip. If tipping is compulsory, then add 20% onto all prices, and tell customers that is the price they must pay. I would never want to pay more money than I have to for something. If a meal costs $10, then why pay $12? American restaurants should just scrap tipping, and pay workers a living wage.
It can't be that hard, when 20% is expected for wait staff, to automatically put it on the bill? In Germany, the tip is usually paid in addition - voluntarily and without any obligation.
Every state is different. I agree it sucks for the workers. There will always be people who scream "'MURICA IS DIFFERENT AND WE DO WHAT WE WANT!"

we need to go to the EU system where all restaurant staff are paid a living wage.
There was a woman in my area who realised her dream by opening a lovely little cake shop and cafeteria down by the lakeside in a prime position. She envisioned it as a nice place where young mothers could meet up for a chat over coffee and cupcakes. What actually happened instead was that mothers did indeed show up... with pre-packed food for their kids rather than buying anything and left crusts and other scraps all over the place, used the cafe tables to change nappies and left the soiled remains behind, and let their toddlers run around trashing the joint to their heart's content, over the protests of the poor harassed cafe staff. The place ended up being shut down in a matter of months, and never reopened. This is why we can't have nice things.
Some people are absolute trash. I feel bad for that woman. I worked in retail for many years and there were a few times a parent left their baby’s dirty diaper on a stack of clean folded clothes and a ton who let their kids run wild around the store destroying the tables and climbing on them.

Pay people a wage they can live on. Tips SHOULD be optional. Then they'd be. And still, even in countries with a sufficient minimum wage, people regularly tip. Decent people at least - I'd be ashamed if I didn't at least roughly 10%. Also applies to things like Delivery Hero, they exploit their drivers - tip them in cash. I do every time, usually silent, because the driver's app has access to the microphone, which may also raise some legal questions...
America, please start pushing for a minimum wage for everybody so that no one has to depend on others to live. I don't know how your political system works but surely there must be a campaign about this already? In the UK if enough people sign a petition the issue must be debated in parliament
Most of these come from a cultural issue that's becoming a problem. The fact that you are expected to make up for the waiter's salary is ridiculous. Tips are optional in most countries. Also, the fact that clients are entitled, rude and just plain uneducated is a direct consequence of that "customer is always right" crap. As someone who has worked in the service industry for years, at least where I live, there are rules. Basic guidelines for proper behavior. For staff and for customers, and it's rather common for people to get banned if they cause too much trouble or leave a mess. And... I won't get into the pandemic protocols, but really, wtf is with them being "optional"? Even in less developed countries, pandemic guidelines are for everyone, and if you don't comply, you get a fine, at the least.
I always tip a minimum 20% but usually more than that. But if you never smile, never come back to the table after you bring the food, never refill you won't get 20%. I always leave something but that something is always up to the waitress/waiter. Since I understand I try never to be mean or hateful.
Dear Americans. In Europe waiters are tipped for good service. They have basic salary. Holiday and sick leave entitlement. Work ethics. You have capitalism. If I would ever go to US, I don't think I would tip anyone. Pay people in catering and hospitality decent wages, they feed you!
I never understood tipping. Especially when it's seen as a must. You never tip any service worker, you dont give tips to bus drivers, teachers, shop assistants, doctors or anyone except waiters, really. I do get it that the wage is not great but in the end its their choice to work there and if their wage is not enough and they must rely on begging for tips, they can always leave. I usually do tip when the service is especially good, but I hate it when the waiters automatically assume Im gonna give them a tip.
you people who won't leave tips are sub-human. The waitstaff can't afford to pay the bills & feed their kids on what they get. Show a little kindness and consideration for nice people who are just trying to help you.
Tip is not something that should be just given automatically. Tip is for good service. If the waiter is rude, i will not give him any tip no matter how many kids they have.

I am curious. Is it illegal for restaurants to include a X% service charge to the bill for their staff? This is what a lot of Asian countries do. The staff earn their hourly or daily rate on top of the prorated service fee at the end of the month.
Ugh, this whole post (the original one, not people's comments here) is just reminding me why I want to live in the woods, with only animals as neighbors. The ignorance, the self-entitlement, the hatred... sometimes seems there just aren't enough good people out there to balance out all the bad.
I am so glad that I don't eat out that often. I prefer to cook my own food.
There should be a universal asshole tax to cover people like this.
I would prefer if the tip were just built into the prices on the menu. It doesn’t seem right that a patron can just decide not to tip when the waitstaff count on that as their wages
Well usually I don't have a problem with tipping if the server is not racist or has an attitude. However, I never leave without leaving a tip which would not be larger than 10% of my bill. If I am leaving the premises happy I will even tip 50% of my bill. Also I think the tipping system is f*****g ridiculous cause the servers have to rely on it
I am a person that will tip higher than normal when the service is outstanding. I have also left a smaller tip for very rude,disrespectful servers. These people that leave very horrible notes on tabs are just miserable people and don't let that deter you of your work. Just do the best you can and u will be rewarded someday. I am still waiting for that special server one day and they will get a OMG tip from me!
Yeah, the whole tipping thing sucks and might not be right, but it you don't have to be a lowlife d**k about it. If you're that much against tipping, don't go out to eat. Pretty simple..
I was a bartender for years and I rarely had a bad tipper. After a while you can tell before the people even sit down what kind of tip they'll leave or if they'll give you a hard time. I was rarely surprised or wrong. I think it's the air of arrogance that surrounds the entitled ones. In my experience the bikers were the best tippers and the rich people were the worst. I worked at a sports bar the same time I worked at a high end martini bar and I always always always made a ton more money at the sports bars.
People are frigging disgusting. Yes they should earn more, but people should not be asshats too. Even if my service is horrible I'll still tip. May not be much but I'll tip. You go to a restaurant and are served you don't do s**t but sit there and stuff your face, and you can't tip? GTFO
First, try paying your staff a proper wage. Secondly, all the tips with fake money... call the police and report the customer for theft of services and knowingly passing counterfeit money. Paying a tip is paying for services in a literal sense, so it becomes a criminal act to pass the fakes
I get what you’re saying but I don’t know if that would work since tipping is optional. If they left that fake money to pay for their meal total then yes they could get in trouble for that. Not tipping a server is pretty shitty I agree and these people are all assholes.

Extraordinarily rude behavior needs to be called out. It would help improve the behavior of these buffoons or encourage them to eat at home where they belong.

Anyone thats been to fast food places or restaurants to eat, knows there are PLENTY of wait staff that are bastards and jackasses! I've had plenty of them fired too, for being the douchebags they are!!! Just take into account...........did the wait person deserve it?
