Today, Target asked me if I would do the closing announcement. I've only been working there a little while, so excited I agreed. I told people, "The store is now closing, thank you for shopping at Walmart." FML

Today, I got a phone call from my boss, who'd hired me after two months of waiting and begging for this position. A week into the job, the company is closing our store. FML

Today, I got a badly-needed job at a local discount store. After being hired, I found out I'm to help with the soon-to-begin store closing sale, and I'll be jobless again after 3 months. FML

Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML

Today, I heard back from my store management interview at Target. I was offered an overnight stock clerk position. When I called HR to find out if my application was in the wrong file I was told I lack the leadership qualities necessary for Target. I graduated with honors from a military school. FML

Today, a shopper approached me at Target and said, "So are you just gonna stand there to look pretty and do nothing around here?" I ignored his comment, until he got so upset that he wanted to speak to my manager. It would have been understandable if I actually worked there. FML

Today, I was at Walmart and I asked an employee for help. She turned around with tears streaming down her face and said, “I'm kind of in the middle of an emergency right now!” FML

Not as bad I @ the open ceremony of KFC standing at the front door greeted the mayor of the town and said welcome to church's chicken

Looks like lots of folk have done the same thing at some time. I did practically the same thing once, and I hadn't even WORKED at the other store, I'd just heard their greeting so many times it was burned into my brain.

I wouldn't worry to much most of the people left in the store were probably workers anyway. So you just gave everyone there a good laugh after a hard days work. I hope you do a follow-up on this. I really don't think they would fire the OP for a slip of the tongue as long as the OP didn't swear or anything after.
