Today, I went to El Pollo Loco for the $10.00 special. I ordered from the pimple-faced kid at the register, pulled out two fives, and he said, "That'll be 9.70, I gave you the senior discount." I'm 10 years away from that. Thank you? FML

Today, an elderly man had to give me money to pay for my grocery bill because my sister broke down crying in the store as I didn't have enough money to pay for both her milkshake and cookies. She's 19. FML
Today, I was working the register at our local McDonald's. After a strange man left a massive order, he said, "Can I pay you in gummy worms?" FML
Today, I was serving a family at the restaurant where I work. When I went to ask the little girl what she wanted, I was tongue-tied and got "cutie" and "hun" mixed up and ended up asking, "What can I get for you, cuntie?" FML
Today, at work as a cashier, a guy came up with a cart full of stuff and it took me 10 minutes to ring it all up. When I told him his total, he felt his pockets, said, "Oh shit, I forgot my wallet!" and walked off. He left about 15 bags worth of things for me to put back. FML
Today, I went on a blind date at a fancy restaurant. My date was running a bit late, so I went ahead and got a table. I got bored, so I decided to ask my waiter how I looked. He stood there, then said that, "It's against company policy to mock customers to their face." FML
Today, I finally got a date with one of the hottest girls in school, a perfect 10. Just before I go to pick her up to go to the movies, I called her to find out where she lives. She answered the phone, only to hear my father yelling in the background, "STOP TALKING TO THAT WHORE." FML
Today, I wanted to use my gift card for a liquor store. I went to pay the cashier, who said he needed to see my license. I gave it to him, along with my gift card. After paying, he asked me if I wanted him to cut it up, since the card was now worthless. I said yes. He cut up the wrong card. FML
Today, I was jumped and savagely beaten to the ground by a group of six-year-olds wearing Disney princess masks. FML
Today, I saw a woman breastfeeding her child at the local park. That would have been just fine if the child wasn't at least 8 years-old. FML
Today, I received the $30 parking pass that I ordered over 4 weeks ago. My class is only 4 weeks long, and next week is the last week. FML

why do you refer to him as the "pimple-face kid", to make yourself feel better?

Senior discounts are usually about ten percent. That would put your bill at about 10.67. If you automatically pulled out two fives to pay, it sounds like you've been getting the senior discount and no one told you.

"Senior discount" kicks in at age 50 some places. And I'm ... less far away from that than I care to admit. :-/

why are you complaining about getting a discount

You expect a pimply-faced kid to be able to tell the difference between 55 and 65? To him, anyone over 30 is ancient and bound for the grave. You probably look like The Cryptkeeper to him. El Pollo Loco? Really?!?! You should just stay at home and microwave a Hot Pocket.

But his mom still hasn't gotten over the novelty of their brand new microwave.

You deserve it for 3 reasons: 1) You probably engaged in destructive behavior that caused you to look 10 years older. (drinking, smoking, lying out too much...) 2) You tried to make yourself feel better by insulting the poor guy for having acne, which he cannot help. 3) Because having to pay less money for your fast food is the worst problem in your life.

Also, OP is too old to be complaining about stupid little things like that, which aren't even problems anyway... What happened to maturity?

Be glad that you at least got some sort of a discount. Even just ten years back alone, with 30 cents, one could've gotten a pack of 5-pieces of gums and still have 5 cents left over to go buy a smaller gum like Bazooka gum.
