Apparently The Going Rate For Karma is $40

I am writing this story at the desk of my brand new job. During college I worked at a steak house as a waiter and I waited on a couple clearly on a first date. They looked a little older than me (I was 20 at the time) Let me say that she was WAY to good looking for him. Anyways, they were super polite and racked up a $150.00 tab. I drop the check then go to the well to grab some other drinks. The guy from my table taps me on the shoulder and looks panicked. He says in a very frantic voice, “Sir, I am on a first date and I am $40 short…is there anything I can do, wash dishes, take out trash, I am so sorry I just got so nervous I really like her and I just….I am so sorry.” For some reason I felt for him, and I spotted the $40. I figured I was buying Karma points and that money was gone forever. They left and I thought nothing of it. 2 days later the guy comes back with $80 bucks and thanks me explicitly. He explained how he really is into this girl and they are going out again and he owes me. I thank him and wish him well.

Fast forward 3 years, I graduate and have an interview for a job. I get into the office and low and behold my young lovebird is the one doing the interview. On his desk is a picture of him in a tux and the girl he was on a date with in a wedding dress (THEY GOT MARRIED!) He instantly recognizes me and I was hired on the spot! Still blows my mind!

You’re on “Stage”

I was working one friday night in a very packed city bar. Around midnight as people where getting good and sauced up my fellow bartenders noticed this couple getting very hot and heavy. FYI PDA’s are gross and really obnoxious sitting at the bar… Anyway these two are going at way harder than your normal drunk cpl. Her facial expression gave it away. Turns out that his hand was all the way up her skirt and… you can imagine the rest.

They were so into it that they didn’t notice that people where starting to watch. So much so that a two foot radius developed around them and half the bar was watching. At this point my buddy took a flashlight and shined upon them like a spotlight. After about 30 seconds of being “on stage” the dude realized what was going on but didn’t stop! Finally the girl came too and bolted for the door. Dude threw a $100 on the bar and they both left to a standing ovation. AWESOME

I’ll Drink Beer Out of Any Shoe in This Place!

I am a waitress at Hooters. One day a guys softball team came in and had already been drinking, and they all decided to get even more plastered. One guy said he would give me a $100 tip if he could drink beer out of my sneaker. I asked the manager if it was OK and he said go for it. So I took off my dainty sneaker and he chugs some bud lite out of it with the whole restaurant cheering him on. He THEN proceeds to exclaim “I’ll drink beer out of any shoe in this place!” My manager gets an evil glint in his eye and goes to the back where there’s been this one loan size 13 sneaker that’s been kicking around for months.

It’s been caked in raw chicken wing juices and flour, and is totally crusty and disgusting. He presents it to the patron and says “here ya go…”. Again, the entire restaurant starts cheering him on. My manager fills up the shoe and waits as this guy stares down the shoe for a good 3 minutes (during this time the beer is hydrating and reconstituting all that caked on goodness btw) before finally pounding it down. Everyone cheers and claps, while they’re around the table, right as this dude pukes all over the table! ewww!!!! He was so embarrassed he took off. Luckily one of the other guys at the table was really cool about it and ended up giving me $40 extra on top of the 20% tip for the table.

I Spilled Water All Over Her!

I got promoted from a host to server last week. My first day waiting tables by my self I had a mother daughter 2 top. I was so nervous. After getting their drink order I grab them an iced tea and a water. Walking back to the table to drop the drinks off I spilled the water all over the daughter (fail!) I was so embarrassed and apologized over and over. They finish their meal and pay. I open the check presenter and there is a penny inside. I thought I deserved it then I pick up a plate and there is $20 and a note that said, “accidents happen keep your head up you were great!” made me feel better : )
