No thanks, Karen

Today, I was cashiering at Walmart, when a customer picked open a cold-sore on her lip before trying to give me her money with the same hand. When I freaked out and refused to take her money, she started screaming and threatening to sue me for "violating the First Amendment." FML

Today, a customer yelled at me so furiously that she sprayed my face with spittle. I had to stand there, smiling and politely explaining that I needed to see a receipt before I could give her a refund. When she finally gave up and left, my boss bitched me out for "provoking the customer". FML

Today, I was waiting in line while a lady paid for her shopping, when her credit card got declined. She started ranting and insulting everyone and kept insisting: "I'm not poor!" By the time the lady had finally stormed off, I had spittle on my face, and the cashier was almost in tears. FML

Today, an angry customer rubbed her hand all over my face, all while showing me her positive COVID-19 test results. FML

Today, working at a fast food restaurant, I saw a woman in her late thirties pull out some hair and put it in her food, then threaten to sue me and the restaurant. She also told me no one would believe me, a teenager, when I told her I saw her put it there. FML

Today, at work, I was screamed at and slapped by a woman for supposedly violating her 2nd Amendment rights. In reality, I'd simply turned her away from the 10 items or less line because she had well over the allowed number of items. I've no fucking idea what's wrong with some people. FML

Today, being near-broke, I resorted to shopping at Walmart. Barely ten minutes in, an obese sack of lard posing as a human being shoved me away from the bacon I was looking at. I fell, busted my lip, then got screamed at by another woman for not watching where I was going. FML

Today, I assisted my first customer at my first job as a Target cashier. When I rang up this lady's items and gave her the total, not only did she hiss at me and spit in my face, but she also dragged my manager over and demanded that he fire me. He did. FML

Today, I got bitched out by some lady in a Walmart because I looked at her funny while she was on the phone, loudly bragging about "slapping the shit out of" her kids. FML

Today, I had a formal complaint filed against me for being outrageously rude to a customer. All I did was tell a customer that she couldn't use food stamps at the movie theater. FML

Today, I held the door open for a woman and her kids on my way out of the bank. She started accusing me of patronizing her, and when I just let go of the door in protest, she deliberately leaned in so it hit her in the face. I felt the glares from the entire bank as she pretended to cry. FML

There's nothing in the first amendment about not accepting herpes-infected money.

That's ridiculous, I can imagine it now, "and why would you like to sue ma'am?", "He wouldn't take my money because my cold-sore was on it."

You can't be a cashier and a germophobe. Money is extremely dirty, you should have realized that now. YDI

Although I agree, handling money which may have fresh blood and/or pus from a cold sore you just witnessed the customer pick is quite sickening. Which is why they should be provided with disposable gloves/hand sanitizer.

Disregarding the fact that this very stupid person did not have her First Amendment rights violated, why didn't you simply take the money to avoid a scene like that? If it's not counterfeit or violating any of your job's tender accepted rules, you should just take it to avoid the stupid, irate customers. Where I work, we have disinfecting hand wipes to deal with some of the gross things we have to touch.

Don't most places reserve the right to not serve? Or something like that?

Oh stupid people, you make life both amusing and annoying. As a note, I work as a cashier too, though not at WalMart (god forbid.) And let me tell you, the hand sanitizer becomes your best friend when you handle money and food in the same go.
