Awkward, Religion and Work: Leave me alone

Leave me alone

By Quortney - 22/07/2015 04:20 - United States

Today, I was working at the local grocery store and a customer of mine, who had only bought two granola bars and was holding up my line, tried to convert me to Christianity. Out of all the people to target, she chose the shy atheist who just wanted to do her minimum wage job in peace. FML

Today, at work I was trying to be nice and give a customer a discount because she was having trouble finding money to pay for her food. Everybody behind her then demanded a discount as well. FML

Today, working at a fast food restaurant, I was berated by a customer for a good two minutes. It's okay though because she ended with, "Sorry, I forget you all are real people." FML

Strung out

Today, I was at work as a cashier. An old lady unbagged everything I had, and angrily "taught" me how to bag. She put potatoes on her eggs and broke them. She then screamed that I was useless and retarded in front of all my other customers and manager. FML

Today, a shifty customer came in to my store and was hanging around for about 30 minutes. Apparently, he took that time to put religiously-motivated anti-abortion notes into each and every pair of socks. In the following hours, I had 17 angry returns and was personally threatened twice. FML

Today, while working at a dollar store, I was clobbered by a woman because apparently, I was ripping her off by charging two dollars for two doughnuts. She didn't understand that she couldn't buy multiple items at once for one dollar. FML

Today, I saw an elderly woman struggling to reach the top shelf in my local grocery store, so I went over and asked if she needed help. She then accused me of flirting with her and had me escorted from the property. FML

Annoyed

Today, I was made to do checkout training at the supermarket I work in. My third customer spent £90 on food, and whilst I was serving her, she talked about her 6 kids and her ex. Only four hours of this shit to go. FML

Today, I noticed a customer looking for expired products in hopes of receiving a coupon from my store. I told them to let me know if they found anything. They promptly began following me around, telling me how to do my job, only to later file a complaint saying that I was harassing them. FML

Religion is like a penis. It's fine to have, it's fine to be proud of it, but please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around.

People who force their faith on others really suck

Those are the worst kind of people. Why can't they respect others beliefs.

When you try to establish yours as the only right path you are invalidating all others. And any god that invalidates the beliefs of others that are doing no harm is a god I'd like to see gone from this world. Hail Eris. All Hail Discordia.

About 2 years ago, a religious family beat a Mcdonald's girl to death in public in China. Just because the girl refused to join their religion. It truly happened and was all over the news. These people can be crazy, and when you are dealing with them,you need to take care OP.You never know what kind of crazy shit they will do.

Just looked it up, guess who's wrong cole? I suppose the inquisitions and crusades didn't happen either?

Cole, it is true. I suggest you do research. A Christian cult in China beat a young woman to death because she wouldn't give them her cellphone number. How does it feel to be wrong over and over again?

This is the problem. I firmly support people having their religious beliefs, but quit trying to force it on people. If we cared, we'd be in your church.
