Today, a customer broke my nose for refusing to give him a discount because the product he was buying had a fine layer of dust on the box. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, I told a customer that we don't do refunds. He responded by throwing his wallet at my face and accusing me of stealing it. FML
Today, a customer threatened to smash my face in because I wouldn't give him a veteran's discount on a donut. He looked like he'd eaten his way out of fat camp, and it seemed the only action he'd seen was fighting his way into a lard factory. Still, he swung fast, and I now have a black eye. FML
Today, at work, I refused a customer a refund because there was nothing wrong with the item, and she didn't have the packaging. I then watched as she and her son rummaged through a public bin for the packaging. When I refused her again, she called me a "fucking idiot". FML
Today, I had a customer throw his purchase at me and demand a refund after I told him that, due to the national change shortage, I couldn't give him his 38 cents. FML
Today, my boss and I were stacking boxes in the back room of the store. One of the boxes fell and hit me in the face, causing me to lose my glasses. My boss stepped on my glasses as she ran to check the box for broken merchandise, which I then had to pay for. FML
Today, a customer got angry with me, because store policy says we can't accept returns of unsealed video games unless there's actual damage to the disc. The guy got enraged and started yelling about how I'm a "useless fuckwhistle". I almost got written up for laughing so hard at the insult. FML
Today, at work I was trying to be nice and give a customer a discount because she was having trouble finding money to pay for her food. Everybody behind her then demanded a discount as well. FML
Today, my boss showed me a two-page letter from a customer, complaining about me because I couldn't honor a coupon that expired in 2009. He agreed that I did the right thing by refusing it, but said it would be a black mark on my record anyway due to the complaint. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Haha that's ridiculous! I work in a dry cleaners and there is always dust/lint every where. If one of our customers complained I would seriously just laugh

Rub the dust on him & say "no dust , no discount" or punch him back.

The customer is NOT always right. Sorry about your pain and suffering OP. I hope you send that miserable prick to jail and make him pay your hospital bills.

OP, hopefully some of your blood got on his hand then dripped onto the floor causing him to slip on it and fall through a plate glass window on his way out the door.

Well he had a point you know! I mean how DARE you allow your products to get dusty! Everyone knows that cashiers have nothing better to do than dust products all day which will then gather dust again after five seconds! I mean GOSH, isn't that your job? (Sarcasm off) Okay, in all seriousness OP people like him suck and I sincerely hope that you pressed charges. My sister works in a bookstore and some stupid woman came in screaming at them because the store had sold out all the copies of the book she wanted and they would only get new copies in two or three days. The only other branch that still had a copy was one in another city. She refused to wait the few days and complained to the head office. Long story short, an employee had to drive all the way to the other city, after her shift, to get the damn book. Entitled douchebags have made me gain a lot of respect for everyone who works in retail.

Entitled douchebags are one reason I don't want to work retail ever again.
