Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
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 told a customer that we don't do refunds. He responded by throwing his wallet at my face and accusing me of stealing it. FML
Today, a customer threatened to smash my face in because I wouldn't give him a veteran's discount on a donut. He looked like he'd eaten his way out of fat camp, and it seemed the only action he'd seen was fighting his way into a lard factory. Still, he swung fast, and I now have a black eye. FML
Today, at work, I refused a customer a refund because there was nothing wrong with the item, and she didn't have the packaging. I then watched as she and her son rummaged through a public bin for the packaging. When I refused her again, she called me a "fucking idiot". FML
Today, I had a customer throw his purchase at me and demand a refund after I told him that, due to the national change shortage, I couldn't give him his 38 cents. FML
Today, my boss and I were stacking boxes in the back room of the store. One of the boxes fell and hit me in the face, causing me to lose my glasses. My boss stepped on my glasses as she ran to check the box for broken merchandise, which I then had to pay for. FML
Today, a customer got angry with me, because store policy says we can't accept returns of unsealed video games unless there's actual damage to the disc. The guy got enraged and started yelling about how I'm a "useless fuckwhistle". I almost got written up for laughing so hard at the insult. 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, my boss showed me a two-page letter from a customer, complaining about me because I couldn't honor a coupon that expired in 2009. He agreed that I did the right thing by refusing it, but said it would be a black mark on my record anyway due to the complaint. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML

Assault?

Really? are you sure?

Battery, 1. Legally, assault is threatening to do something. Assault is to hold a bat up at someone with a seeming intent to hurt them with it, battery is actually taking the swing and hurting the person.

Taking the swing is still assault. It doesn't become battery until/unless the swing connects.

#1, I doubt the dust was a salt. Most generic dust is made of soil, insect remains and flakes of dead skin.

In the state of Oregon, we don't have a battery charge, just different levels of assault. This is definitely assault I, if not aggravated assault.

Assault. The only 'battery' we have in Australia is in our cars, etc.

Same as Canada. God save the Queen.

That IS extreme.

You'd be surprised how often customers can flip out like this. I used to work do customer service over the phone so I never worried over physical injury. I happened upon a cool site... notalwaysright.com. The stories are priceless on there.

Hope you called the cops and pressed charges against him.

Mary Poppins would not be pleased with the dust layer. You better hope she doesn't magically appear and scold you.

Sounds like an idiot to be honest..

What an idiot. Please press charges.
buddy51 23
OP, this guy sounds dangerous! I hope you pressed charges because the next person may get more than a broken nose!! Do your civic duty and get this arse nugget off the street and into the prison showers where he can learn to receive instead of dishing it out like he did to you!!!
