Today, a customer yelled at me because I gave her a wrinkled bag. I work in retail, and the bags are all cheap plastic. She wouldn't stop, even when I gave her three different bags. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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 got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, at work, a woman screamed at me and called me a bitch because I refused to refund something we give away for free. FML
Today, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. 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 got called an "evil Nazi bitch" because I let a customer know that this is the last day our store will have free plastic bags. FML
Today, at work, a customer threatened to punch me in the face because the store I work at doesn't have shopping baskets, only carts. FML
Today, a customer yelled at me because we didn't have any laptops in stock. I work at a clothing store. FML
Today, I was chewed out by a lady who claimed the laptop she bought wouldn't turn on, and that she wanted a refund. She yelled and shoved the laptop at me, not even listening when I told her I didn't even work at that store. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I hate human beings. I'm a vampire.

When I say I hate people, I really mean I am finding it hard to understand the people around me because they make no sense and seem to worsen my current problems

Ouch, should I apply ice to that burn?

Do you ever wish that there was that one day that you could say anything to the customer without repercussions?

YAASSSSS!

Basically everyday of my life..
soulreaper12296 28
I feel that everyday. Not for customers, just in general.
MegasaurusRex89 28
Omg, this! Also, as someone who's been in retail for 7+ years, everyone should be required to work at least 8 months of retail before they can shop it.

"Ma'am, would you like me to iron the bag for you"
Ichiya 29
I believe you have created a new job: the bag ironer. It their job to tbrow irons and any customer that acts like an old bag.

throw* at* Fat fingers and small buttons don't mix.

So many people would be applying for that job. But it does sound fun.
MeanBeagle 22
wouldn't he just give her a paper bag.
littlekellilee 45
Not everyone has paper bags. My grocery stores definitely don't, nor clothes stores.

I wonder how ironing cheap plastic is going to work out...
jackycat 17
It might chase crazy customers out with the stink.

Some people just won't be pleased, no matter what you do

You should have told her that the bag matches her wrinkles on her face!

I agree! I work in retail as well & this statement is so true

*****hug***** <-- What anyone working at a store deserves. And a beer.

If you work a year in retail without attempting to kill anyone, you deserve a medal. (I know someone who once got a complaint that he was "too nice". Retail customers....it would probably be easier on your sanity to work somewhere that isn't retail but gets robbed at least twice a month.)

Tell her that breathing into it will take out all the wrinkles, and it's best that she do it so as to precisely control the amount of wrinkles taken out.

You deserve an award OP for dealing with that without hitting the woman!
stargirl_95 24
I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. Some people just like making other people's lives more difficult for no reason.
