Today, while working at a sandwich shop, we had a shortage and could only put so many veggies on one sandwich. I explained this to one man who was grumpy about it, but kept on ordering. I thought everything went well. He thought my face was a good target to launch his completed sandwich at. FML

Fast food, hold the fast

Today, at work, I’ll admit that I wasn’t in a good mood. I work in fast food, and I went to hand this guy his food without looking and he didn’t grab it. I got frustrated so I FINALLY looked. With an equally as upset look, I noticed the guy didn’t have arms, so I’d just been shoving food in his face. FML

Today, while at work, a customer, who was also on his phone, rudely asked what kinds of bread we had for his sandwich. After I told him we had many different kinds to offer, he cut me off, told me to stop playing stupid, and stormed out after holding up a long line of people. FML

Today, a customer complained he never got his sandwich, even though I put it in the oven, dressed it up and served it to him. When I went to clear his table off, I saw the sandwich basket. We had to give him his money back. FML

Today, while working at Subway, a man ordered a sub with avocado. When I told him it was no longer available, he screamed, spit in my face and ran out, pushing over an innocent bystander in the process. FML

Today, while working at Subway, I was called a "terrorist" and other names by a customer 'behind my back'. I made him the best sandwich I'd ever made, in order to leave a good impression. Then I had to say the wonderful words, "Your total is $9.11." FML

Today, a woman came in to order lunch. She ordered a sandwich then asked for me to configure it precisely to her complicated desires. This took a whole 5 minutes, during the lunch rush. When I told her the cost, she decided it was too expensive and cancelled her order. FML

Today, while working, a woman complained that she didn't ask for sauce on her sandwich. After examining the sandwich, I realized it was just melted cheese. When I told her, she threw the sandwich at me. FML

Today, while working at Subway, I was about to take a guy's order. He quickly held up a hand and asked for someone else to make his sub, because he doesn't like "ugly people" touching his food. FML

Today, as usual, I worked at McDonald's. Although I tried to diffuse the situation, an old man was absolutely furious, and punched me in the face over BBQ sauce. FML

That's the food industry for you. I work at Freebirds and someone freaked out yesterday because we ran outta forks. We sell burritos.... Those people are just bored with their lives.

soo it's nice to see how the non fast food/food service individuals say "it's your fault you need to take care of the PAYING customers" Not if your manager tells you to do something. I work at burger king, if we are out of tomatoes you bet our managers will tell us to put, 1 if any on a sandwich, if the customer really wants to throw a fit over 2 tomatoes, 1 in some cases, my advice for you is to GET THE F*CK over it. 1) 5.09 for a whopper is not going to bankrupt you so there is really no point in throwing a HOF hissy fit for everyone to see 2) I'm not going to go against my managers, I make 11 dollars an hour to make burgers for people, as a college kid that's gravy, no customer is worth that.

@jake, you know its possible to make a sandwich yourself? subway doesn't use very hard to get ingredients or do anything you can't do at home in 5 minutes for a quarter of the price...

I'll assume I'm the Jake although it's a pretty common name. Ehm, bread for an actual sub is a $1.50, pepperoni is roughly $3, salami is around the same price as pepperoni. Let me stop there because that's the same price for a Spicy Italian at Subway. I do believe I'm missing shit like olives, vinegar, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, mayo, and pepper. Oh, and a cherry Fanta. So no; it's not a quarter of the price, and I don't have to do the labor. :P

I hate getting customers like that. I work in a supermarket,most customers are understanding once you explain things nicely to them but there's always one idiot.
