Waitress Left No Tip And A LOL Message On Bill After One-Hour Wait For Food

A waitress has expressed her anger at being left without a tip at a restaurant in New Jersey.

Instead, the table of eight she was serving wrote “LOL” on their bill and refused to leave a tip because of a long wait for their food.

Waitress Jess Jones, 20, from Belmar, was serving the table at D’Jais Bar and Grill. Instead of leaving her a tip on the $112.03 tab, someone from the party wrote on the bill: “1 hour for food”.

The next day, Jones posted a picture of the bill on her Facebook page and expressed her feelings.

She wrote: “Last night, I was stunned by this receipt that was left for me by a party of eight people.

“I would have preferred a ‘$0’ tip than a ‘LOL’ tip, but as a waitress, bad tips and harsh notes are all part of the job.

“Even though they did wait an hour to eat, they remained satisfied with filled drinks and proper notice that the kitchen was a bit busier than normal. I’ve worked in the service industry for five years and I take pride in providing great service to my customers.”

Jones said she makes $2.50 per hour and relies on tips to pay her bills.

“We work hard, and we really do care,” she wrote.

“My experience with this table was cruel and unnecessary but sadly it’s not uncommon. I know how aggravating it is to receive a hefty bill when all night you’ve been wondering why the table that came in after you was served before you.

“But waiters are mere messengers most of the time, and it’s wrong to shoot them, however bad the news.”
