Today, I was closing at work when someone came in ten minutes before our closing time at 2 a.m. and placed a huge order. I couldn't turn him away because he's my manager from my other job. He was drunk. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I learned a co-worker called and awoke my boss at 3 a.m. to complain that I'd been "rude" to him. All I'd done was make a disapproving face because he'd been drinking and he was slobbering drunk, and wanted to charge his purchase to his employee account, a definite no-no when not on the clock. FML
Today, I was working the night shift when a guy came in smelling like alcohol. He kept muttering his order, so I leaned over the register to hear him better. My ear now smells of vomit. FML
Today, at work, I was trying to repeat an order back to this guy, when his drunk girlfriend started to interrupt me. Whenever I would open my mouth, she would say "Blah blah blah." Literally. Eventually, I gave up. I got his order wrong, and got yelled at by my manager for not repeating his order. FML
Today, I was working a midnight shift when a guy came in drunk and was trying to get me to come home with him. I said I had a boyfriend. As I said this, my manager, who has no teeth and B.O, said he was my boyfriend. I will never live this down with my co-workers. FML
Today, I had to have a word with my boss about how him coming into work drunk is probably not a very good idea. FML
Today, my duty manager demanded we close the bar early because she wanted to go home. I was subject to abuse from customers for closing early, then shouted at by the duty manager for not being done. My actual bar manager fired me for closing early. FML
Today, I got fired. There was a customer last night who showed up two minutes after our closing time, 11 p.m.. She knocked on the door many times, but I ignored her and kept sweeping the floor. She eventually left. Turns out she’s the VP’s daughter and told him I was “rude and inconsiderate” to her. FML
Today, 30 minutes before I was supposed to quit work at 6pm, my boss showed up. After telling him how the day went, he asked why I was still there. Apparently, for the holiday, we close early. 4 hours earlier. FML
Today, I was demoted at my job for sleeping in the store when I'd have a few after closing. Apparently, they would rather have me drive drunk than do the responsible thing. FML
Today, at my hotel job, I had to help a drunk naked guy back into his room. Earlier today, a fat old guy wearing only briefs came down to the lobby drunk as hell. I used to like my job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

As someone who has worked in the food industry, I agree, it sucks to work until 2 am (or later). HOWEVER, if the store closes at 2 am, IT MEANS 2 AM, not 1:45 because the employees are being whiny little bitches. Hell, I have even served people after my restaurant was technically closed in the past because I recognized that good customer service=more repeat business=more hours and more money for me. Plus, what if you were the hungry customer desperately looking for a place to eat at 1:45 am? Wouldn't you be pissed to find the restaurant closed 15 minutes early because some punk ass employee just HAD to get home at EXACTLY 2 am? When you work a closing shift in a restaurant, EXPECT to be there much later than closing time and consider yourself LUCKY if you do get to leave exactly when the restaurant closes. That's how the industry works. Suck it up and do your ******* job or find another one. This is the most pathetic FML I've ever seen.

You could have turned him away. If he was drunk enough, maybe he wouldn't remember.

Op, youre dumb. You could have easily kicked out your boss for being under the influence, since most likely they will return the order in the morning after the hangover. Also if he was being unruly, you have the right to refuse service.

this would be more of an FML if the guy woulda came in, made a huge order then said "oh crap i forgot my wallet" or, after the order has ben made already, "you know what? i jus remembered i have Chipotle at home waiting for me... cancel that order." tht would be a fml. OP be lucky u have a job.. i jus got fired today lol

you would have turned away customers ten minutes before you close?? If I was one of those customers I would have filed a complaint. I work at a restaurant so I know how much it sucks, but if your sign says you are open and your door is unlocked you can't be turning down customers. ydi for being a crappy employee

Sorry OP.. I'm a server and when people walk in 5 min till close piss me off more than anything else. One, you can't finish your duties till the assholes leave. Two, the kitchen is more than likely gonna cook their entree's in a way to get them out quick.. which means their food isn't gonna be great. And three, the tip is definitely NOT worth it. Dealing with the general public is a joke. Everyone needs to at least wait tables for 6 months of their lives to appreciate what we do and go thru. And people. always tip your server! Whn you don't, they still tip out on your meal. So they're basically paying YOU to eat there!

95- yes he has the right to refuse service, but his other boss might fire him from his other job if he refused hom service.

sourgirl101 29
They would still have a job and get paid if that person "didn't" show up right before their place of work closed. I'd bitch aliitle. Yes it's part of their job but it's rude of people to not respect workers. Hey I want to go home too.

If you want to go home, you should work in a different industry. It has nothing to do with respecting workers and everything to do with expecting an establishment to function during it's open hours. All of it's open hours, not just the ones convenient for the employees.

81, organizedchaos is exactly right. There are many people who can't leave the industry they work in because they are not qualified for any other right now. I am stuck working as a gas station attendant, and I've been forced to stay late because of customers as well. It's frustrating because I can't go anywhere else with the economy as terrible as it is, and I'm working toward a bachelor's degree now. Luckily, I'm not going to get fired, since my grandma runs and owns the gas station I'm working at, so I try to close when it gets close to closing time and no one else is in. Still, that's meant an extra half hour at work for me sometimes.

that would make the op practically gay, an awesome memory of jizzing in his MALE managers food, really? ew
capnbzarr 43
No, that's not gay. Being gay means having a sexual attraction to a person of the same sex, not a desire to contaminate their food. Doing so (contaminating food, not being gay) is a crime, BTW.
