Today, I had to serve an incredibly rude and irrationally angry customer, but I managed to keep my cool. When he finally went to leave with his purchase, I wished him a good day. He whirled around and yelled, "I'll have whatever the fuck kind of day I want, bitch!" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my boss came around to my way of thinking. He called our customers a "bunch of assholes" and to kick them out if they gave me trouble. When a lady began yelling at me for "setting the damn prices too high" I told her to leave. My boss soon bitched me out for being unprofessional. FML
Today, I got called a cunt at work by a customer. What could I have said that could have caused them to say that? "Have a great day." FML
Today, after finally getting rid of an extremely rude, abusive customer, I muttered that I could kill people like her. I didn't know my manager had heard me, until a pair of police officers arrived. He'd reported me for "threatening to murder a customer". FML
Today, a customer berated me and told me to stop whining because I have to work on the weekend. What did I do to deserve this? I said, "Hi, how are you doing today?" FML
Today, a customer was rude to me, and I was rude back. He then asked for my manager, and I told him I was the store manager. He then identified himself as the corporate owner. FML
Today, I answered a call at work from a very irate gentleman. After being shouted and sworn at profusely, I ended the call in a slightly less than civil manner. Turns out that guy is one of our company's biggest clients. FML
Today, a man tried to rob the store I work at. Before the guy was taken by the cops, he complained to my manager for "unfriendly behavior". He took it seriously and bitched me out for not providing "quality service" to our customers. 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, my manager cussed me out for being unable to keep a customer happy. That "customer" was a senile old twit who had wandered away from his carer, thought our shop was his living room, and demanded to know who replaced all his furniture. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Drake and Josh anyone? "Have a good day." "Don't tell me what to do."

I would have just laughed. People like that you have to feel sorry for. They live very angry lives.

Yep, he can choose. He chose to be miserable and tried to drag you down with him. You, on the other hand, chose not to be miserable. You won this round.

Some people are a cut above grade A douchecanoe. A truly remarkable feat.

When I meet people like that, I just feel sorry for the people that have to live with them.

I would have laughed so hard and he would have blown a gasket.

When I work with a rude customer I just shut off. I give them the minimal to just get through the transaction but nothing more.

Lol... if he wants to be angry then that's fine, it's his choice to be childish and dwell on inconveniences. although he could have a lot on his plate at home too and the straw just broke the camel's back. it certainly wasn't fair to take it out on you, but don't let it get you down. you have a nice day

I work in retail and some people are complete assholes that love to take out their anger on helpless workers in stores. Don't take it personal OP, id laugh it off if I were you. :)

Being extremely polite to irate customers is fun! They get so angry when you refuse to get upset or angry back!
