Today, I realized that customers at my work ask me, "Are you new or just stupid?" just as often as they did when I first started. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, as I was helping a customer, she asked if it was my first day and who was training me. Evidently, I'm bad at my job, because I've worked there for 7 months. FML
Today, I got asked, “And you are…?” by a senior colleague while in a morning meeting at work. I’ve been working here for 3 months and I've already introduced myself multiple times to them. FML
Today, we were running a special at work that I had previously been told was an online-only special. After the general manager corrected me, I used the joke excuse of, "It's my first day". The customer replied, "I can tell". I've worked there two years and I'm the assistant manager. FML
Today, at work I put myself squarely in the lame / old people category when I foolishly asked out loud what FML meant. FML
Today, at work, I took a call from an angry customer. After listening to his problem and fully explaining how we could fix it, he called me a stupid girl and said I need more training as I obviously know nothing about my job. I'm the company training coordinator. FML
Today, a woman at the retirement home I work at told me she was new and asked me a few questions. I asked her when she moved in. She was a new coworker, not a new resident. FML
Today, after I've spent years cultivating my reputation at work as a hardass who's good to his team, as long as they're competent and own up to mistakes, my mother came as a customer and suddenly I'm a kid all over again. She even tried to pat my head and ask if I'm eating enough. Now my team all keep smirking at me. FML
Today, after my bosses excitedly told me I'm getting promoted to customer service at our grocery store, a customer called me an idiot in the parking lot for accidentally backing into the shopping cart she left in my blind spot. So it begins… FML
Today, I have been at my new job for almost a month and still have no idea what I'm doing. FML
Today, working in retail, I noticed a customer looking for an item, so I walked up to them and asked, "Is there something I can help you find?" He replied, "Did I ask for your fucking help?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Regardless of the customers reasons for suggesting that OP is stupid, it's not allright to be that blatantly rude about it. Everyone saying it sounds like your own fault, there are nicer more constructive ways to convey dissatisfaction with OP's style of service.

Customers are just assholes. I had one say that two me because of the 10 types of super glue we had, the one he wanted wasn't there. Asked what brand he was looking for and he said "Oh, none in particular."

You might be doing something wrong, see if you can improve your flaws the best way you can. I know you can't be perfect, but at least try.

Hey, this is OP. I work at a pizza place as a delivery driver. The customers at my workplace are less than friendly. I did ask my assistant manager about it. She just laughed and said "I've been working here for 13 years and I still hear that from customers. Don't worry about it, you're doing fine."
