‘You should have waited’: Server gracefully leaves customer's table a note explaining card was declined, returns only to face a service dispute

One customer was absolutely livid when his server did him a 'graceful favor' when his card was declined. The situation evoked quite a discussion on Reddit, where people either completely agreed with the original poster (OP), or totally disagreed and thought that they were in the wrong. So what happened? Well, a very rude customer showed up to eat at OP's workplace, and after serving them, OP came to give them the check. Unfortunately, their card was declined. OP didn't want to embarrass the customer, so they came back with a note that read 'Your card was declined', and then went off to other tables. When OP came back, the customer did not appreciate the note, not one bit. Instead, he began arguing with OP and told them, 'You just had to make me sit here waiting for you, right?'. Scroll down to read OP's sassy reply, the outcome, and the comments. All I can say is… yikes.

Then, here is a technician who got back at his company after his boss gave him a promotion without a raise. Let's just say that he found a way to get 'the raise he deserved'.
