Waiters, waitresses, chefs, restaurant workers: Who was the most disrespectful customer you've ever had and what did they do?

Back when I was serving tables in college, we had a group of about 10 guys come in half an hour until close. I wasn't scheduled for rotation, so I didn't think I'd have any interaction with them. Welp, I was wrong. My coworker needed help bringing all their drinks to the table, and I got recruited to help. She brings over the first tray and all is well. Here I come, drinks in hand, and- bam! I fall face first on the floor and spill the drinks everywhere, all the meanwhile that group of guys starts shouting/laughing uncontrollably. One of the younger dirt bags stuck their foot out as I was walking by and tripped me intentionally. My coworker looked horrified by this point, and quickly scrambles to help me up and pick the drinks off the floor. But wait, there's more! Not wanting the table any longer, she somehow passes it off to me. Oh.. Joy. Once everything is settled, I go to take their orders. All 26 of them. For 10 people. I wish I was joking. I get their orders in, and all is going as it should- fantastic! After bringing out the to-go orders and the dine-in, they decide that the food is undercooked. Not one plate, but every single dish. I walk back to the kitchen and explain the situation to the cooks. They look at me as if I've killed their pet gerbil in front of their very eyes in a sacrificial offer to Satan himself. Eventually, I bring back all of the dishes and they're remade. Twenty minutes later, off I go with the food. Before even setting the first plate down, they then inform me that since they had to wait for an hour to get their meals, it should be free. I apologize and offer to get my manager for the issue, to which they agree. In comes my manager, obviously aware what the group is doing, and calmly asks what the problem is. They tell him that they had to wait for an hour and a half (it was only 35min, tops for the original dishes and remakes to come out), and demand the food for free. Nope, they're not having it. In comes the arguing and things of that sort and one of the group throwing a punch at my manager, all to which my manager told them they needed to leave or be escorted off of the premises; they all calmly sat there and waited for the cops to be called. Cops show up, they try to claim my manager threw the punch, tell the officers about the food, etc. Manager shows one of the offers the security cameras, and all of them are then given a free ride to the station within half an hour.

TL;DR: Drunk frat guys come in, get arrested for being idiots.
