'These were free... and you're going to complain? Come on!': Servers discuss how free things actually bring the Karen out of customers

So you think you know restaurant edict but have never worked in the service industry? HA! Don't make us laugh. You might know the basics, but there are so many things that can mark you as a crappy customer. The number one thing servers are currently discussing on Reddit? Complaining about free things. So you got a free basket of chips with salsa. Okay, so? You say, "thank you so much!" and move on. You do not complain about the chips being too salty, like the server can even fix that. You cannot demand more free stuff just because you got one thing for free. And you most certainly cannot tip less just because you had one thing comped on your bill. That is just rude and you will instantly be deemed as a crappy customer. How do people not know this already?

Recently, a server took to Reddit to vent about this exact thing. A woman came in with her child, the server noticed that the child looked impatiently hungry, so they served them a free basket of chips with salsa, on the house, which was not typical for that restaurant—the server just did it out of the kindness of their heart. And the mother had the audacity to complain that those FREE chips were too salty and then proceed to have her show her how to give her a less-than 20% tip. The AUDACITY of some people is just insane. Servers have flooded to the comment section of the Reddit thread to share instances that convinced them to never give anything free again because, for some reason, free stuff tends to bring out the entitled Karen in customers.
