A diner has left people in stitches after revealing the brutal message they spotted on a restaurant receipt. Sharing the hilarious photo to Reddit, the restaurant-goer captioned the picture: "My dinner receipt had a message for me…" before leaving users to spot the problem for themselves.
Unsurprisingly, it didn't take long. Among the usual culprits you'd expect to find on a receipt, like a chicken dish and ice cream, which cost £18 and £3 respectively, there was another, rather rude, addition. The final item on the receipt, priced at £15, was titled: "You're an a*****e." Thankfully, the description was not left by an angry waiter hoping to get revenge on their customer as some may have suspected.
There's a reason behind the brutal message (reddit)In fact, the customer only had themselves to thank for the receipt. As the diner revealed in a comment: "My wife and I went to a restaurant for her birthday and we both had cocktails. I completely forgot the name of the cocktail by the time the receipt came but its name was 'You're an A*****e, Mr. Burton' lmao it definitely caught me by surprise."
Delighted by the gaff, one commenter wrote: "I wish we could charge customers for being a*****s. We would make so much money." "I genuinely wish wait staff could just tack on service charges like this," a second agreed. "You got ripped off, I get called an a****e for free all the time," a third joked.
Meanwhile, someone in the know commented: "Oddly enough, I researched the restaurant; you'd think there'd be a better way of labelling a drink on a ticket." But another wrote: "Kudos to whomever programmed the POS. The cocktail's full name is You're an a****e, Mr. Burton. That doesn't fit on the receipt. The receipt could have spit out Mr. Burton or You're…Mr. Burton , but - no - whoever typed this in showed serious commitment to staying on message."
