Today, I bought a brand new flat screen TV. When I brought it home it didn't work. Furious, I walked into Best Buy and yelled at a guy in a tucked in blue polo and khakis. I asked him why it didn't work and he said he didn't know. I kept screaming. He didn't have a nametag. He didn't work there. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I bought myself a brand-new 52" flatscreen. It was only in my house for 2 hours before my toddler had a tantrum, threw a toy right into the screen and wrecked it beyond repair. I paid to have a nice TV for 2 hours. FML
Today, I bought a brand new TV that cost a pretty penny. I took it home and it had a defect. After a lot of arguing, I was able to exchange the TV for another one. I got it home and it worked amazing. Later on, we had a bad rainstorm, which flooded my room and screwed up not only my new TV, but my PS5, Xbox, and laptop. FML
Today, I walked into Best Buy to buy a 42" widescreen TV I'd been saving up for many months. As I walked in, a man stopped me and handed me my wallet that I'd accidentally dropped. I thanked him. Five minutes later at the checkout, I opened up my wallet to realize it was empty. He had stolen everything. FML
Today, I was chewed out by a lady who claimed the laptop she bought wouldn't turn on, and that she wanted a refund. She yelled and shoved the laptop at me, not even listening when I told her I didn't even work at that store. FML
Today, I purchased a brand new television. Not long after the professional who hung it on my wall left, it came crashing down on my hardwood floor. I'm now left with a busted TV, a tear in my living room wall, and a severely drained bank account. FML
Today, a customer yelled at me because we didn't have any laptops in stock. I work at a clothing store. FML
Today, I got lost at Best Buy. Meanwhile, my mom freaked out, and they called out my name over the intercom. When I walked up to the desk and they saw I was 17, the employees burst out laughing. FML
Today, I went to a store to buy a 43-inch TV that was on sale. The sale was so good that they sold out on the floor. I went to guest services and asked the employee if they had any in the back. She literally went to the back of the room, let out this god awful fart, came back out and said, “Sorry, we don’t.” FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, someone came into the store I work at, laughed at my name on my name-tag, and left without even buying anything. FML

Even if he had a name tag, why would you yell at him? "Hey, you work here! You must know exactly what's wrong with the TV I bought from some other employee a while ago! "

I understand the confusion, since I used to wear something close to a target uniform at a place I volunteered and got customers asking me for help every time I stepped into a target. But YDI For bitching out what you thought to be an employee for a problem he probably couldn't fix in the first place. Defective electronics are just a part of life, generally it's the manufacturers fault and places like best buy will replace it free of charge.

wow. just wow. How can you be that much of an asshole? Even completely disregarding the fact that you stupidly yelled at a fellow Best Buy customer, you should never just walk into a store and yell at the first employee you can find because a product doesn't work. Go to customer service and get the matter resolved in a civilized manner. Or better yet, call the manufacturer like it says to do in the manual, which you probably didn't read. 99% of the time, it is not the store's fault that something you bought there doesn't work.

You really need to grow up. Going in there yelling is just making you look bad. Hopefully you apologized.

Having worked in Retail for the last 20+ years (15 at Best Buy), I can safely say you are a "First Class Asshole". If you had been correct in your assumption, and actually been yelling at an employee. What good does that do you? I treat customer's how they treat me. You act like a jerk; I have no problem doing absolutely NOTHING for you. If you are relaxed, cool, and treat me like the human I am, I will go above and beyond to make your experience the best you ever had... Lastly, here's food for thought. When was the last time a stranger walked into your work and started screaming at you? Bet that would make you feel like a million bucks! Where do you work? I'd love to stop by and try it out on you.

This is my first comment on FML. Sadly, it is to tell the poster that he or she is a jerk. I'm glad you felt like a jackass. Even if the person was wearing a nametag or did work there what you did was totally bull crap. Customers like you are not good to have no matter how much money you spend.
