True, not all diners hurl&nbsp;abuse at their servers, but sometimes it's the smaller things customers do that waiters hate. It might even be something the patron thought was helpful, like stacking up the empty plates. Unfortunately, they probably didn't do it right, spelling even more work for whoever is clearing the table.There are so many things customers do that waitresses hate. Think you might secretly be a bad diner?

Waiting tables is no easy task. That&#39;s why these stories of the biggest tips left for waiters and waitresses are so uplifting.

From $400&nbsp;into the millions, these tips are certainly more than 20%, and all show genuinely kind humans&nbsp;spreading the wealth, paying it forward, and thinking of others.

The big tippers listed here range from local restaurant regulars to pop stars like Taylor Swift, who made the list with a $500 tip in Philadelphia, PA. Actors Russell Crowe and Johnny Depp left epic tips that were extremely appreciated by their servers. One of these generous gratuity stories was even turned into a feature film starring Nicolas Cage.
