Servers at restaurants are often on the receiving end of hostile customer behavior. We constantly see them serve up memes about customers who refuse to tip, leave filthy tables, and make unreasonable demands.
But restaurant servers are also human, and they also make some epic workplace mistakes.

This receipt includes some harsh language, including observations about one of the customer’s genitals. That’s definitely never warranted and sure to cost the server a tip.

Servers at this establishment certainly dropped the ball, made a customer angry, and their actions prompted a swift discussion.

Black servers are also often on the receiving end of racist comments from customers. This is reprehensible.
When it comes to communicating, it’s clear that customers and servers are both capable of being jerks. Be that as it may, the servers who dished out insults should still do better, but so do some customers!
What do you think of the way servers roasted some of these customers?
Your opinion is welcome in the comments section (though it’s doubly welcome if you’ve worked in the food industry).
