WTF?
Today, I received my first customer complaint. It said, "I am a regular customer and when I come in, he is always smiling and tells me he will see me soon when I leave. This makes me feel very uncomfortable." Now I'm under investigation for sexual harassment. FML

Today, at the store, I didn't hear the cashier when she asked if I had a loyalty card. She took one look at my naturally bitchy-looking face and muttered "It's my JOB to ask, jeez." FML

Today, at work as a bank teller, an angry customer complained that the payments on his two credit cards had been messed up the previous month, with the wrong amount being credited to each account. I asked if he knew who'd helped him. He said, "Well, it wasn't you - she was younger and prettier!" FML

A cashier's life
Today, as I worked as a cashier, two girls came up laughing. I smiled as I rang them up, asking what had made them laugh so hard. One looked me dead in the face and said, "You." They then both walked away, laughing. FML

Jedi mind trick
Today, while covering lunch for the self-checkout host, I noticed a customer walking away. I smiled and said, "Have a nice night!" A few minutes later, I saw that she'd left without paying on her machine. I'd smiled and waved at a lady as she stole from me. 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
Sorry Not Sorry
Today, my boss bitched me out for a customer complaint. The complaint was me not laughing at the customer's joke of me asking for his ID and him saying no. I'm sorry, I've been getting this "joke" a least twice a day since I started working here two years ago. FML

Was this an attempt to connect this fml post to the one when the customer complained for OP not laughing at their joke or...?

Some people just need to complain about something, like a happy cashier, to make themselves feel better. God, I hate those people...

People complain when cashiers don't smile enough, and now when they smile too much. You just can't win in retail.

you NEVER win in retail. The other day a German customer was complaining because i greeted him in English (its not my native language but its usually easier for Germans to understand) and told me i should speak German. I already speak 3 different laguages, isnt that enough?!

I swear, there seem to be some bitter people on this Earth who wake up and their first thought of the day is "Hmmm...what can I get upset about today?" It must suck to be those people.

Not me, I usually wake up and think, who can I piss off today.

When people are buying hemorrhoid cream or enema kits, you'd better wipe that shit-eating grin off your face!
