'[What] do you mean you don't have tartar sauce?': Top 'Tales From Your Server' of the Year (2023)

Before we wrap up the dysfunctional year that was 2023, let's do a recap of the most dysfunctional customers servers were forced to encounter on the job. Being a server requires a certain bandwidth to be able to withstand a lot of unfair treatment from managers, Karens, etc. That being said, every so often, that bandwidth is tested no matter how much experience one may have in this field. Sometimes, customers demand something so outrageous (like seriously, dude? you can't live without tartar sauce?). Other times, they try to get away with ridiculous behavior (like the several cases of dining and dashing we have seen).

These stories were compiled from Reddit's r/TalesFromYourServer subreddit and include the eight most popular posts of 2023. Keep scrolling below to see why and feel free to share your own egregious encounters with entitled customers and horrible managers from this year in the comments section below.
