In the nearly 13 years I did in the restaurant biz, I think I only saw about 3 run through the kitchen, out the back door, and crying because of some a-hole customer. I saw a waitress throw the change that they left as a tip at the customers (in the parking lot), telling them that they need it more than she did. I had one waitress deliberately leave a ketchup stain on her white shirt, right where her nipple would be - later I heard she was working as a dancer at night, and would encourage some of the customers to come see her. (Eventually I accidentally did, and she was a better dancer than waitress).
I had one that had no clue what a French Dip was, and one day proclaimed that the day's special was french onion dip soup, and Chicken Corn Dog Blue.
Well... if you've worked in a restaurant, you have stories.

We were at a little local place one time. The waitress took an order at the next table, turned around and yelled to the bartender "I need one glass of chablis." (only she pronounced it just like its spelled). The whole place went quiet for a few seconds - even the rednecks were speechless.
