Today, a customer berated me and told me to stop whining because I have to work on the weekend. What did I do to deserve this? I said, "Hi, how are you doing today?" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, I was working when I delivered the standard "Hello, how are you?" to a customer. He took the opportunity to tell me about his deceased wife, his estranged children, and his anal tearing. After a while, I tried to help someone else, and he complained to my manager. I was written up. FML
Today, I got called a cunt at work by a customer. What could I have said that could have caused them to say that? "Have a great day." FML
Today, my boss yelled at me, telling me that I can't answer the phone anymore. Not because I do a bad job, but because a co-worker whined about it being her job. People call her and complain about how rude she is and then ask to talk to me. FML
Today, working at a fast food restaurant, I was berated by a customer for a good two minutes. It's okay though because she ended with, "Sorry, I forget you all are real people." FML
Today, my boss came around to my way of thinking. He called our customers a "bunch of assholes" and to kick them out if they gave me trouble. When a lady began yelling at me for "setting the damn prices too high" I told her to leave. My boss soon bitched me out for being unprofessional. FML
Today, at work, a woman screamed at me and called me a bitch because I refused to refund something we give away for free. FML
Today, my boss bitched me out on the sales floor for a good 10 minutes, because I wasn't "smiling the right way" for our customers. FML
Today, a customer yelled at me so furiously that she sprayed my face with spittle. I had to stand there, smiling and politely explaining that I needed to see a receipt before I could give her a refund. When she finally gave up and left, my boss bitched me out for "provoking the customer". FML
Today, while at work, a customer refused to speak louder, despite me asking her to do it several times. As a result, I took her order incorrectly. The customer then finally decided to raise her voice, but only to yell at me about my poor listening skills. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should have just hugged him and said *shhhhh it's okay... I know* and then he would have started crying because of his deep emotional trama.

Clearly he's going through something right now so I feel bad for him but at the same time, that's no excuse to be rude to OP. FYL

It's not what you say, it's how you say it. Maybe the customer thought you sounded unhappy.

I'm a believer that everyone should work in retail at least once in their life just to see what's it's really like. sorry op! hope your day gets better!

Oh retail. I work at the mall and greet customers. You get the "JUST LOOKING" yell as you try to greet them, then there's ignoring, or there's just a plain old rude snide remark. Customers are mean.

welp in my country most customers greet the cashiers back, and some even return the favour of saying have good day

Retail hell indeed. I know it's not the same thing, but I just had a customer today bitch at me for not selling them smokes when they couldn't offer up ID. Some people should not be allowed to go out in public without wearing a zap collar or something.
