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.

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."

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.

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.

You have two kinds of veterans: the ones who served out of a sense of patriotism and are humble. Then there are the Keiths, who feel an undue sense of entitlement for the choice they made and probably fly in uniform in order to get an upgrade. The quiet veterans who never ask for thanks find Keiths pathetic and are ashamed to be lumped in with them when people think of veterans.
Don't forget the criminal veterans that attached themselves to Donald Trump. This trash is truly a new breed. Michael Flynn, Dan Crenshaw, the guy who ripped everyone off for the "wall."

Why would you tip a veteran in a country were militarily service is a choice and you get paid? PS I fully support veterans
Vets dont get paid very well and its really hard work i imagine, unlike waiting which is just a pain in tbe ass but better then getting shot at

This 'veteran' stacks blankets in the stores. He doesn't have the manners or intellect to be trusted with anything else.
The US is a shithole country. In other western countries, waiters and waitresses geht a living wage and tips are only an extra. But in the US, people are exploited AF
In the US it took a factory burning down and killing people to make people realizing locking the emergency exit doors is kinda sh*tty and dangerous.

I have a tip, the wars you fight in are made up so the rich can stay rich, and we can argue over who gets the scraps that are left over in the form of a tip. 'Murica.
So sick of this kind of Murkan trash. We're not a bad country but it'd be nice of we could clean our house of this kind of filth. It's time. Unfortunately, to do so would be illegal and a very slippery slope. We need to start making their lives very difficult by shaming and marginalizing them. (Did I say that out loud?)
Oh, he's a VETERAN, is he? PROVE IT. Now prove what you sacrificed. B/c obviously being a soldier was all about his Rambo-esque self-image and not about serving his country ----- and my family has been serving its country for centuries, so a-hats like this .... we tend to take them out back of the bar and educate them on the whole "this isn't a country where a uniform makes you better than anyone else, you are a citizen, jacka**".
Centuries? Take to the back of the bar and *educate* them? With your fists?

It sounds like you want somebody to spit in your food the next time you go there.
Sounds like a 'soviet russia' joke garbled in an addled brain. Veterans serve waiters and get tipped or something?
It sounds like you should stop eating in restaurants, because you're an entitled prick.
Paying people for services you provide for them? That sounds like a terrible business scheme, sir.
Sounds like you should stay at home. No one cares you decided to be the governments dog
I think you are an entitled ego maniac who should know that just because you do something good doesn't mean you are entitled to a reward.
People take one thing good that they did and make it seem like a free pass in life. I'm not trying to be disrespectful but you can't expect to take things for granted like that and not seem like a Karen.
Vets like this give a bad name to all military personnel. Thankfully these individuals are few and far between. I've only met one vet of this type in my life, all others a real pleasure to be around. The sad thing is they have that "I'm entitled" attitude and they'd get further being polite. Instead their attitude usually means they don't get the discount or special treatment that all other military people get.
I hope this is a joke. You signed up. You knew what you were getting into. We're a military family. Stop bitching and making excuses.
Being a veteran does not give you clearance to be a F-tard a**hole!!!
I like to remind them that with no draft...they chose their job. Same as me. If you're looking for applause, Broadway is North of CT...
I really wish they would quit blocking the names/ photos of these idiots.
Apparently when you are a veteran (in this case) you ignore the hard times that restaurant staff are going through.
Ahem. It's not mother *beep* er it's mother Hubbard. Get ur nursery rhymes right.
It sounds like it's from a self-entitled fear-filled cranky old white man.
How would that work in a country in which roughly 50% of the population have been to the military? You have served your time, you have gotten benefits, stop being entitled
How would that work in a country where nearly half of the population have been to the military services?
I am getting so tired of the "I am a veteran, therefore I deserve free stuff" excuse.
I am a veteran too and I think Keith should go home and f**k himself.
Oh please. They choose to go to war, they get paid for it and they kill people for money. They're serving propaganda and destroy countries- again- for money. He deserves to be kicked out of any restaurant for the disgusting behaviour. He's no better than any other human being. Neither special. Just tip and GTFO. .

You Can Just Picture The Trashiness From This Customer

What My Coworker Was Given Tonight
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.

Again, I call bullshit on these asshats trying to say they'd be leaving a massive tip, otherwise. These POS would never leave huge tips.
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

At Least He Used The Proper Form Of "You're"
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.
