'Customer had tantrum over being cut off': Servers and bartenders share their top cringe customer encounters

Perhaps everyone should have made their resolutions this year to be kinder to their servers and bartenders. If you're not part of the problem but you are witnessing a Karen customer throwing a tantrum for no good reason, perhaps you should consider stepping in and defending the people who have been on their feet for multiple hours and are just trying to get you your food and drinks the way you ordered them. No one is trying to mess up, and so much of what goes on in a bar or restaurant is outside of your server's control. 

Lest we forget, your server also has the power to make things harder for the customer. They could "accidentally" fumble your order or spill your drink all over your fancy attire. They could make it seem like the kitchen is more backed up than it is and let your food get cold. Some of them could even throw you out of the bar. Keep scrolling below for these top stories, which were compiled from Reddit's r/TalesFromYourServer subreddit. When you're done, check out these bad resume errors.
