Today, I got fired from my job as a seafood manager because an entire wedding group came in and started yelling at me, saying the shrimp was horrible and I ruined their wedding. They showed me the leftovers; they never cooked them. They fed raw shrimp at a wedding dinner party. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after 8 months of being belittled and treated like trash at my job as a prep cook in a high-end kitchen, I stood up for myself to the line cooks. Not only did everyone laugh at me, I got fired for causing a scene during service and insubordination. FML
Today, I was fired from my job as a waitress, all because someone complained there was too much seasoning in their food. As I said, I'm a waitress. This happened the same week I was hired. FML
Today, I was verbally abused by a customer because her entrée was too fishy. I'm not the chef, just the waiter, and I work at a fish grill. FML
Today, I got food poisoning from my wedding food. FML
Today, I was fired from the restaurant I work at because I missed my shift. I missed it because I was in the hospital for food poisoning from the meal I ate at work last night. FML
Today, I was fired from my catering job for pointing out the unsafe food conditions. I'm studying food safety in college. FML
Today, I was preparing a customer's meal in my restaurant's kitchen, when I choked on my own saliva and went into a coughing fit. The head chef, who's always hated my guts, accused me of trying to hock a loogie into the meal and fired me on the spot. FML
Today, my family went out to dinner at a seafood restaurant. While we were eating our food, my grandma demanded to see the manager, and loudly complained that her fish was "too fishy". FML
Today, I went on a blind date with a guy at a seafood restaurant. I explained to him that I am deathly allergic to shrimp. When the waiter took my order, he interrupted me and said, “She’ll have the shrimp," while looking me dead in the eye. FML
Today, at my prestigious sous chef job, I was preparing to plate up expensive entrees for a function of 150 people. After arriving to work 2 hours early to finalize finishing touches, they call the restaurant 5 minutes before their booking stating, 'We can't be bothered anymore, sorry.' FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sorry about losing your job OP! Hope you can find a new one soon! But seriously, why would you eat shrimp if you can obviously see that it's raw..

Some people are just too stupid to understand. There are people who don't know the difference between a catering service (ones who supply and cook the food) and place the only supply the food.

A lot of people are under the wrong impression that shrimp cocktail involves raw shrimp; they don't realize that it is in fact cooked. Some people believe this because of the way the shrimp looks (kind of raw even though cooked) and some buy the prepared thaw and serve shrimp and don't realize that it has been precooked.

... *double facepalm* Sorry OP. It's not your fault that they were too stupid to realize they had to cook the shrimp.

Then you've got some pretty fishy staff! Seriously, though - As a manager, isn't it your job to oversee things? Or am I misunderstanding what went down?
CrissyyyS2 22
Yes because the manager knew they didn't know how uncooked shrimp looked like. And had to go out there himself and tend to their cooking needs as well.

21 from what OP said it sounds like he worked in a place the only supplied the food. In my town there are places where the season everything and the customer cooks it themselves or have someone else do it for them with instructions that are provided.
