Today, a guy came into the small coffee shop I work at, and got angry because I wouldn't accept his Starbucks gift card as valid payment. When I told him we clearly aren't a Starbucks, he said "It's all the same shit" and ended up throwing a punch at me. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went into a small coffee shop. In line, a guy came up to me and was like, "I haven't seen you here before, are you new in town?" and I replied with, "Oh, no I've lived here for years. The coffee here is crap, though, so I only come here when Starbucks is full." He's the owner of the shop. FML
Today, at work, a customer ordered a caramel latte with no caramel. I made a regular latte after explaining that’s what it was. He got angry and threw it at me. I got fired for insulting his intelligence. FML
Today, a man tried to rob the store I work at. Before the guy was taken by the cops, he complained to my manager for "unfriendly behavior". He took it seriously and bitched me out for not providing "quality service" to our customers. FML
Today, after already having a terrible day, I went to Starbucks for an espresso. Being nice, I put the last dollar I had in my wallet in their tip jar. While paying for my drink, my card was denied for insufficient funds. The world hates me. FML
Today, at work, a customer threatened to punch me in the face because the store I work at doesn't have shopping baskets, only carts. 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, I walked to Starbucks. On the way a homeless guy asked me for change and I lied and said I had no money. On my way back, Strawberry Frappuccino in hand, the same guy recognized me. He followed me for 3 blocks, swearing and yelling at me. FML
Today, a customer threw his cup of coffee at me screaming that it wasn't hot enough. Well, maybe it wasn't hot enough for him, but it was sure hot enough to burn me. FML
Today, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I "didn't get the right kind of coffee beans." FML

No, it is all the same shit if you use money. If you exchange that money for a gift card, you can no longer have the cash to spend wherever you please.

It's not worth losing their job. Also, from the sound of it, he didn't land the punch, so no harm done. I hope OP had him escorted out.

Had a customer yesterday threaten to report me and my store because I told them that their dog can't be inside the store. I asked politely if it was a service dog, they said "No." I then told them that it's not allowed in the store. They then proceeded to tell me that there was no sign on our door. when I said that there was the man said rudely "well we won't be back!" Well alright then! Unless it's a service animal a store has the right to keep any and all animals out of it's store. Comfort animals aren't covered by law either, they must be a registered and trained service animal. Basically, customers are idiots and jerks.

There's only one problem with that. There's no legal requirement to register your service animal in the US.
