Notes On Restaurant Receipts That Will Make You Lose Your Appetite

Lose Weight

This note came from Bimbo Cantina in Seattle. A server named Victoria Liss encountered one of the worst customers of her career. The man stiffed her out of a tip before leaving one of the most offensive notes she ever read. He advised her to lose weight as he added ignorance to being a cheapskate.

This note went viral after Liss posted it on Facebook. She couldn’t believe the man’s audacity but she received a lot of online support. Allegedly, the man also stole from the tip jar as he left the restaurant. Let’s hope that law enforcement caught up to him and taught him a harsh lesson (via Delish).

Stop Snitching

Allegedly the customers in this restaurant were under 21 years old. They tried to order some alcoholic beverages but their server refused and asked them to check their IDs. Then they tried to cajole the worker into letting them have a pass. But the server shook their head and refused because their job was at stake (via Mental Floss).

The would-be underage drinkers didn’t appreciate this and made their feelings known. They wrote one of the pettiest notes ever on the receipt when they wanted to pay their check. At least the server thought that it was funny and had a good story to tell after. Maybe it’s frustrating that they couldn’t drink but there’s nothing they can do about it.

Making Milk

Here’s one of the weirdest notes ever because we’ve no idea what it means. Somebody wrote “I don’t make milk yet” on the receipt for an unknown reason. It’s a strange point because the customer apparently drank milk but fortunately it doesn’t appear to be from a human being. That would be very odd and probably not what they expected.

The whole thing is confusing and it’s probably best not to think too much about it. Let’s dwell on that excellent breakfast because it seems like they had a great time. Hash browns and eggs, pancakes, and that offending glass of milk. If that was one person, they went to town and we appreciate that (via Colony Diner).

America First

We’ve dealt with most of the notes on this list in a lighthearted manner. However, one obnoxious customer left one of the rudest notes on this list. The only word we can use to describe it is racist because they were horrible. They had nothing bad to say about the service or food in this San Antonio restaurant but they had one criticism.

Imagine going into any business and saying “Thanks for the service but you’re Mexican so we won’t be back.” The restaurant will be thankful that they’re not returning because they don’t need to deal with that type of customer. There are many horrible folks in this world but this is beyond belief (via KSDK).

Not Appropriate

Many men think that they are nature’s gift to women but the reality is extremely different. Here’s a fine example because it shows what happens when somebody has too many drinks and decides to hit on a server. Everything was going well until this server handed him the receipt to pay his check.

Nobody thinks TGI Fridays is the most elegant establishment but that’s no way to treat anybody. The best-case scenario is that this was a group of drunk men who thought it was funny but didn’t mean it. But it’s more concerning if it was one person who was using this as his pickup line (via Click Z).

Nice Tan

Compliments are tricky at the best of times because people don’t always take them the right way. It also depends on how they deliver them and if the giver is being creepy. The receipt below shows what happens when somebody has an ulterior motive and writes something weird.

There’s a good chance that the server didn’t have a tan and that was their natural skin tone. Perhaps the customer could have found a better way to show their appreciation because this is a bit too strange. The most offensive thing about this though is their spelling because it’s garbage (via Bon Appetit).

Bold Request

We’ve just looked at a borderline offensive compliment that could go either way. But the following statement is so excessive that the server couldn’t have believed what they read. They were working in an Olive Garden when they received one of the most direct notes we’ve encountered.

Somehow we don’t think they called that number. We wonder if this tactic ever worked for them before but somehow we doubt it. Perhaps there’s a better chance that they’d succeed if they’re a woman. But judging from the state of that writing we don’t think that’s the case. There’s so much wrong with this (via Newsweek).

Fat Girls

It doesn’t take a genius to realize that referring to customers as ‘fat girls’ isn’t going to end well. One server made this horrific mistake when they handed a receipt to the people in question. They thought that they were being hilarious when they were behind the counter but they didn’t change it.

Allegedly, the smirking manager offered them a 25 percent discount before finally dropping to 50 percent. However, the offended diners refused this and went to their local news outlet instead. They say that there’s no such thing as bad press but this proves that’s not always the case (via Huff Post).

Boo You Fail

Sometimes we wonder why some people bother going out in public. Maybe we should require a special license that allows us to engage with normal people. Puppies require socialization before they mix with other dogs so maybe humans can learn from them. Ask this server who received one of the most irritating restaurant notes ever.

It’s not even a smart message. They don’t have any criticism about the service or the food. All they say is that the server ‘fails’ without providing any other details. Meanwhile, they don’t leave a tip because they’re horrible human beings. Unfortunately, these horrible people walk amongst us (via Awesome Inventions).
