Today, at work I was trying to be nice and give a customer a discount because she was having trouble finding money to pay for her food. Everybody behind her then demanded a discount as well. FML

Black Friday
70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.

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, 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, I got yelled at by a customer for saving them money. FML
Today, as I was working at a bakery, a woman stormed in, cut in front of the line, and began yelling at me. She claimed I didn't give her a sandwich earlier and demanded a refund. She got the refund out of my paycheck, and as she was leaving she muttered, "Ha, works every time." 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, while working at a dollar store, I was clobbered by a woman because apparently, I was ripping her off by charging two dollars for two doughnuts. She didn't understand that she couldn't buy multiple items at once for one dollar. 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 checking out a couple at work, I handed them their receipt and wished them a good day. The woman promptly pulled her husband to the side, and whispered to him about how much of a "fucking idiot" I was for making the prices so high. I work at McDonald's. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You get points for being a decent human being. Those people are just petty and greedy. Don't stop being nice, OP.

Should've said to the other people "life isn't fair, deal with it" and moved on. . But props for being a good person!

Sorry but they shouldn't of given the lady a discount. OP should've paid for it out of their own pocket because your boss wouldn't have grounds to fire you then

It's a business, if you're short then get out of line or order something less expensive. It's not being cruel to ask the customer to have the proper funds. If its short a few cents then let it slide otherwise unless you own it keep it professional. During my cashier stints I was stoic and too the point and over time I heard fewer sob stories. If you're going on a guilt trip I'm staying at home.

Sadly we live in a world where doing a decent thing is a problem

What did you expect? Don't get me wrong, it's nice what you did, but you can't expect everyone else to not want the same treatment.

You did the right thing, i worked in fast food for a few years until i graduated from college. People for the most part, suck and are going to treat fast food employees like crap. Theres a reason for the most part nice people get better and some times more food than you jerks.

Good job being sympathetic. The others didn't need a discount, they are just selfish people. A good thing to rememper as a customer is "Appreciate good customer service, but don't demand it. You do not own the world, and you are not entitled to anything, so enjoy what good you do get".

Welcome to the concept of 'equality'. It applies universally, not according to your whims.

If something like that happens again, apologize and tell them that it was your employee meal for the day, and when you go on lunch, you will now be paying full price as well.

Just like how teachers tell you not to bring gum to school. You pull it out and instantly, everyone knows and wants a piece.
