Well, here’s a bit of news that will probably piss off waiters and waitresses everywhere.
Jess Jones, a waitress at D’Jais Bar & Grill in Belmar, New Jersey, was left shocked when instead of receiving actual money as a tip, she received a “LOL,” on the $112.03 bill instead.
According to Jess, the diners who left the “LOL” were a party of eight, and she warned them that since it was an unusually busy night, the kitchen would be busy and backed up. Jess says she tried to keep them happy by refilling their drinks and checking up on them.
“I would have preferred a ‘$0′ tip than a ‘LOL’ tip, but as a waitress, bad tips and harsh notes are all part of the job,” the waitress said. “Even though they did wait an hour to eat, they remained satisfied with filled drinks and proper notice that the kitchen was a bit busier than normal. I’ve worked in the service industry for five years and I take pride in providing great service to my customers.”
“My experience with this table was cruel and unnecessary but sadly it’s not uncommon. With that said: Please be good to your waiters. I know it’s annoying when things aren’t right. I know how aggravating it is to receive a hefty bill when all night you’ve been wondering why the table that came in after you was served before you. But waiters are mere messengers most of the time, and it’s wrong to shoot them, however bad the news.”
Jess posted a picture of the receipt on Facebook where it has quickly gone viral.
Regardless of the service, it’s still a dick move to leave a person who has nothing to do with the amount of time it takes for the food to come out of the kitchen an “LOL.” It’s also shocking that there are grown-ups still writing “LOL.” Check out the full report below:
