Today, a customer asked for my manager's number, my bosses number, corporate's number and filled out a complaint form, all because we kindly asked him not to sit his kid on the counter due to safety concerns. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a customer at work said his table was dirty. I asked which one he was sitting at so I could clean it for him. For some bizarre reason he got pissed and called my manager over. He ended up reporting us to corporate, and my manager got written up. He's blaming me for everything. FML
Today, a customer filed a formal complaint with corporate about me, because I wouldn't help her find things she wanted while I was off the clock. We were in a completely different store than the one where I actually work. FML
Today, a customer at work made threats against me and my two-month old son. Instead of following policy by notifying the police, my manager apologized to him and told me to leave. FML
Today, I handed a written complaint to a shop manager about an employee who had used foul language to my teenage daughter. I then watched as he took the complaint to the employee in question, they read it together, laughed, then the manager tore it in half and threw it in the bin. FML
Today, a child was choking in the store I work at. He was alone in the aisle, so I started the Heimlich without his parents' permission. After dislodging what was caught, his mother turned the corner and went screaming to my manager for touching her kid. I got a write up. FML
Today, at work, a customer asked for my number. When I declined, he made a huge scene, shouting and scaring other customers. He tipped me seven cents. FML
Today, I stopped two little boys from spitting over a railing at the piano player two floors below in the department store I work at. Their mom complained to my boss about me. FML
Today, a customer complained about me for getting their order wrong. This would have been fine if they hadn't sent their ten-year-old kid to order for them. 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, 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

So? Give him all the numbers, even give him the number for the pope of America, that way he will look like even more of a fool while he whines about his lack of common sense.

Some people... You should be allowed to deny him all that for being an idiot. If he goes through with it he'll just make an ass of himself

If that ever happens at my work, the instant the germ-strewn cesspool is lifted, I immediately spray down the area while wearing a gaunt face.

The problem is, corporate takes complaints very seriously. And the guy will obviously not tell the truth and will exaggarate a lot. "The entire staff kept yelling at me! I was just trying to let my child sit down for a few minutes and they were so rude! I wasn't even doing anything wrong they just didn't want my child to sit down!!"

People like that suck. I would've given her all wrong numbers.

Corporate will send him a damned gift card.

I work in a retail pharmacy and deal with this level of ridiculousness all too often. It infuriates me and I feel your pain!
