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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got sent home from work after a customer's daughter kicked me in the balls because her order was wrong. She was 6 years-old. FML
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
Today, I had a customer scream at me for ruining their child's birthday party. They had bought a Piñata from me and didn't know they had to fill it themselves. The kids had hit it open and it was empty. 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, I was verbally harassed by a customer because I wouldn’t give her special treatment after her meal was incorrect. I offered her a refund and a coupon for a free meal, which she refused before calling me a stupid kid who wouldn’t do anything to help her. 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
Today, a customer filed a complaint against me because my coworker took too long to do a price check. I hate my job. FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, I told a customer the bread he wanted has been discontinued. He replied with, "Are you serious? What is your name? I'm going up front to complain about you." I still don't understand how that's specifically my fault. FML
Today, nine hours into a ten-hour shift, I accidentally told a customer, "You're a problem!" instead of, "You're welcome!" or, "No problem!" She gave me a dirty look and hurried off before I could correct myself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well if the kid ordered incorrectly FYL. Doesn't mean it couldn't have been your fault, everyone makes mistakes.

The motto has changed in recent years, it's now "the customer is usually an asshole or an idiot but smile and nod anyway incase they sue or put up a yelp review "

So wait were the parents lazy pieces of shit who forced their kid to order or was the kid begging them to let him/her order?

The parent was a lazy piece of shit forcing their kid to order and when they did get their order they yelled that everything was completely wrong.

Wow. I hate parents like that. I mean, allowing your kid to be independent and even encouraging independence is fine. But that should be up to the kid and there should be limits. Forcing your kid to do things for you because you're lazy is stupid though. It shows you have no moral fiber (at least of the good kind)

Ugh Op I'm sorry. I've been serving for 6 years, I feel your pain. Let's just hope this turd doesn't come to your store again

Yeah they should have came in to make the order to make sure it was right or write the order down so the ten year old knew it correctly

I feel ya. I work at Pizza Hut, and more often than not little kids place orders. They stare at you like you're supposed to know what they want, and they're like... "I want the cheese pizza... Right?" No, I don't know what you want kid. I get it, ordering can be intimidating sometimes, but if the parents want the kid to order either A) write down the order CORRECTLY and hand it to the kid Or B) order it yourself, because sometimes kids get excited over something in the menu and will order that instead.

Most 10 year olds can order food.

that's why I refuse to do business with a child.

Well they could have sent a 10 year old to teach him/her responsibility and how to buy stuff in public and socializing. My mum does it a lot with my 11 year old brother.

Maybe you should've asked the parent if the order was correct.

If you work at a little Caesars then I might have seen this happen.
