Karen Refuses to Tip Servers Despite Restaurant Continuously Complying With Her Demands

As a former server, I can attest to the fact that ninety-nine percent of customers are Karens. However, it's our positive outlook that keeps us sane. Though the evidence may seem to contradict our sense of optimism, we, for some reason, hold onto this notion that one day our table will greet us with a smile and leave us with a fat tip. 

The story below is an account of a frustrated waiter who has to deal with a table of Karens who won't pay the well-deserving servers.  It's one thing when the table refuses to leave a tip; it's quite another when the table makes several silly requests during the course of the meal, and then declines to leave a tip all while grumbling about the service. I mean… Talk about gratitude. The fact that people need to be reminded to lead with kindness is mind-boggling. So, if you're curious to find out what happened or if you simply relate to the poor server, be sure to keep on scrolling and check out the story below! And when you're done, check out a satisfying story about a couple that refuses to vacate a parking space until further notice here!
