Today, at my cashier job, I got written up for accepting obviously photocopied coupons. Last week, I got written up for "inadequate customer service" because I refused to accept the same bogus coupons from the same customer. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 fired from my job over a coupon a coworker offered me for bonus reward points. Apparently, it wasn't one I was entitled to. I never even looked at the coupon and assumed it was fine since they offered it to me. FML
Today, I was working drive thru and took a huge order. When the people pulled around to the window, they handed me a stack of coupons. None of the coupons were even related to what they ordered. They made me change their order to fit the coupons because they couldn't read. FML
Today, a customer called me a "smart ass" because I helped him scan his coupon correctly. FML
Today, I work as a cashier, and as always, I asked the customer paying credit to sign the "sheet" of paper. I received a dirty look from one woman who apparently talked to the manager about me, saying I had asked her to sign the "shitty" paper. I have now been warned for "derogatory language." FML
Today, I found out that I accidentally returned a customer her $147 check she had written out to pay for her groceries and receive cash back. The lady got free groceries and money, and I'm now losing my job. FML
Today, I had a formal complaint filed against me for being outrageously rude to a customer. All I did was tell a customer that she couldn't use food stamps at the movie theater. FML
Today, at work, we had an extremely rude customer who started cussing at us, and my coworker started cussing back. I jumped on the register to quickly bring down the line, and apologized to everyone for the scene. A secret shopper was in the line and claimed that I was rude. I got written up. FML
Today, I'm a cashier in a grocery store. The visiting regional manager tore me a new one for being lazy. His reason? After working a double shift with no break, I decided to sit down for a minute when things got slow. FML
Today, I got yelled at by a customer for refusing to give a found credit card to a woman it didn't belong to. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

But your boss' boss is impressed that your boss is "on the job" by conducting two disciplinary actions in two weeks on you. Now he or she will start to harass you, sexually or otherwise, and when you complain, they'll fire your ass for your long record of poor performance. Move on, this job is like a bad girlfriend.

Yep!! I know what you mean, people this isn't fake its called customer service, the customer comes first! The customer is always right, you must do what you can to please the customer....I say FML you didnt even have a choice (unless you were willing to just quit) *sigh* Retail sucks tha balls

the customer is NOT always right. yes, a store should do everything they can to make the customer happy, WITHIN REASON. when customers attempt to break the law or violate store policy, the customer is most definitely NOT right. rules are in place for a reason, and if managers aren't going to enforce them in a desperate attempt to retain one cheap-ass customer, there's no point in having rules at all.

the thing that pisses me off is when they go out of there way to actually call the head office and complain, and to them they believe the customer and then look at us saying we F*ed up and need to strengthen the rules..

If it's written up, ask for your records and slap the boss with them.

most companies require your signature for a write-up to be sent to corporate. don't sign it, and explain why. if your boss is reasonable, they will see that theres either one way to do things or the other. not both.

They may be trying to get you to leave. A few years ago, while I worked in a shoe department, I had foot surgery. I got written up for sitting down in the stockroom. When I produced a doctor's note, my manager said she didn't care as long as I was seated in view of the public. Then her manager wrote me up for sitting down. Needless to say I gave my 2 weeks the next week - in the middle of the christmas shopping season.
