Today, a shifty customer came in to my store and was hanging around for about 30 minutes. Apparently, he took that time to put religiously-motivated anti-abortion notes into each and every pair of socks. In the following hours, I had 17 angry returns and was personally threatened twice. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, I went in to return a pack of socks. The cashier told me I couldn't return them. Then, I thought that she hadn't given the unreturnable socks back to me, even though she had, so I ended up getting all hormonal and angry over their return policy. When I got home, my mom got on my case too. FML
Today, a customer came to make a return - a bag full of clothes without tags that weren’t from our store. I kindly told her she couldn’t return them. She had a full blown meltdown, pulled down her pants, urinated and defecated on the ground. Security escorted her out. My coworker and I had to clean it up. FML
Today, I was ringing up a lady’s items; two shoeboxes. Per policy, I’m supposed to open them. She heavily insisted I didn’t. I ignored her and found other merchandise inside. She then went on a rant on how "people should mind their own fucking business" and stormed out of the store without buying. FML
Today, I was working at a shoe store and was helping a dude try on shoes. He looked like trouble and I wanted to finish with him. When he finally picked his shoes, he abruptly stood up and ran out of the store with the shoes on. The cost of them was deducted from my salary. $240. 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, 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
Today, I bought some shoes, but pissed off the lady working at the store by returning them 5 minutes later. She yelled at me and ripped my receipt in half, everyone in the store watched as she threw a handful of pennies at my face. FML
Today, at work, a customer asked for my number. When I declined, he made a huge scene, shouting and scaring other customers. He tipped me seven cents. FML
Today, I went to the supermarket to get some Easter gifts for my kids. At the register, I was verbally abused to the point of tears by the cashier, for having way too many items for the 12 items or less lane. I had 13. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well that socks

Why were so many people so angry lol. Unless he had written the note on the sock itself, I wouldn't have taken it seriously.

Not everyone likes religious anti abortion notes in their socks.

Yeah, but why be angry with op? I would probably roll my eyes, throw the propaganda away, call the store and give them a heads up. Most stores are not going to push their controversial opinion like that. Most people know chick-fil-a is anti-gay, but they are not above taking said gay person's money.

If I found a little propaganda pamphlet tucked into something I was buying, it would be pretty obvious that it was placed there by a patron and not an employee. It's too bad they feel the need to take it out on someone who is highly unlikely to be responsible.

I'm surprised people assumed it was a store ad and not someone messing around. Stuff like that screams much more bored teen than anything to me.

I ******* hate people who try to force their religious beliefs on others.

Not even religious dude. I have the same belief and am not religious, though that guy is a nutjob for doing that. People will find a way to do something whether people like it or not. So voicing his opinion was pointless imo. I've taken a friend to have it done because she needed help.

"Religiously-motivated anti-abortion notes"

Why in socks? It makes sense in the contraceptive aisle but socks?

One time I was Rochester, NY. I went to a local pizza place, and the guy handed me what looked like a receipt. It said "paid in full," in bright red letters, so I figured it was some kind of way to tell I'd payed when my pizza was ready. I put it in my pocket, but when the food came, no one asked for it. The next day I was going through my pockets and decided to look at the "receipt." It turned out to be religious propaganda, asking if I'd "payed my debt to Jesus."

The pizza place worker did that? I'd go back and complain to his manager, that's extremely inappropriate behaviour.

jesus sells pizzas ?

As a religious pro-life person, I have to say that is some very odd behavior. Who the hell would say, “HOLY SHIT I'VE COMPLETELY CHANGED THE WAY I VIEW LIFE AND THE UNIVERSE BASED ON THE FEW WORDS WRITTEN ON THIS PAPER THAT FITS INSIDE A SOCK!” Yeah, I just don't see that happening.

Wow! You guys sell an extraordinary amount of socks to overreactive customers.

I am against abortion but you don't put signs in socks

I believe that a woman should have a right to choose what she wants. I am saying this as a woman who's getting an unwanted pregnancy aborted today.
