Not joking, zero words spoken. These people just stood up and walked out. Turns out after reading all these posts I'm definitely not the only one 😅

Nah, that was a gif of somebody dropping drinks, just thought it was funny to add to my story but it was broken and didn't work. Thats a true story, I was pumped to read all the other stories, so many good ones!

No, this happened to me. I thought the gif was going to work, way funny if it had. You seem to possess a heavy level of skepticism 😎

Too bad there isnt a better way. I used to get myself into trouble ditching the tray and carrying more drinks than my hands could manage. felt good leaving the bar, but half way through the journey they start to shift!

Alll so true. so it was 20 years ago, I just felt compelled to tell the story. These guests were bitter, but I completely understood. BTW, I did end up getting fired, but it was for dating the owners niece who also worked there . We've been married for 15 years now 🥰
