‘He threw a $100 bill at me’: Top tipping stories that capture working in customer service

Working in customer service is quite a colorful experience, as you get to meet a whole bunch of people, some of whom are polite, others, not so much.

I remember the days when I was a waitress… Actually, I fetched people coffee well into my late twenties until I managed to get a gig elsewhere that was far from the public eye. I was relieved that I didn't have to deal with customers anymore…These tipping stories really capture a couple of moments that I think everyone comes across after working at a place where tipping is the norm. One person began the thread on r/talesfromyourserver, relaying a funny experience with a customer who had a little bit too much to drink, and ended up tipping them $100, thinking it was a one-dollar bill.

Scroll down to sift through these funny stories that perfectly capture working in customer service. Next, check out this young worker who used a forklift to get back at a very entitled sales representative who thought he could park wherever he wanted.
