Today, a customer approached me, smiling and asked what kind of cheese was in our cheddar cheese balls. Thinking he was joking, I laughed and said "swiss." He ordered, found they were indeed cheddar cheese, and reported me. FML
bandaidstations tells us more.
I didn't think it was swiss..I made a stupid joke that backfired. Cheddar cheese balls are the only fried cheese item we carry. There is a 6 foot menu board with the description right under the item. The customer is a regular who comes in and harasses us all the time. He says things like I will go to hell for having a tattoo while he buys lottery tickets out of the machine. Since he laughs the comments he makes off like he's joking, I figured I could joke with him a bit.

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

There were a few holes in your approach.

This is unrelated to this post. But can someone please tell me what "OP" means? I'm assuming it means "original poster" or something... But anyway can someone tell me what that means?

You're right. OP = Original Poster.

I know your question has already been answered, but if you're on a device that can access the internet, why didn't you just use Google?

You must enjoy being on this side of the "Would you like fries with that?" question. However, your break is over and you must return to the mops. Don't touch the fries.

Customer service 101: always assume everyone's IQ is below 50, because it usually is.

Wow #14 you must be perfect if you think that you can treat people like that on here and speak down to someone......

So I'm honestly curious as to why you made a new post rather than replying to #14. I'm not judging, I've just been seeing a lot of FMLers do this recently and I don't know why.

#62 Because people don't have to tap "display the # answers" and will more easily find their post. So they're hoping this way they get more upvotes.

Ah I see, well some people are that inconsiderate. Seeing someone make jokes, You'd that they'd be able to take a joke as well. I don't understand why they wouldn't be able to.

Almost the same thing happened to me. Where we work, we have cheese tots which are exactly as they sound or cheddar bites which are small fried cheddar balls. I was reported because someone ordered cheddar bites and expected them to be cheese tots.

While i agree that sucks, never underestimate the stupidity of the general public when working customer service.
