Today, I got head lice, so I went to a store to buy medicated shampoo. When checking out the cashier saw my shampoo and asked me to leave immediately to protect the other customers. He didn't let me buy the shampoo. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I needed to buy a new helmet. When I got to the sports shop, there was only one left in my size and preferred color. Thirty minutes after buying it, my head starts itching. Turns out I paid $40 for lice. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. I thought I was getting promoted because my sales had been really high lately. My boss shut his door behind me and asked me if I could comb his hair with a lice comb to get rid of his lice. I had to do it to keep my job. FML
Today, at my retail job, I tried on one of our hats. My co-worker told me I shouldn't because I could get lice. I laughed it off and told her I didn't believe her. Man, do I believe her now. FML
Today, I went to get a haircut. I have a pretty bad case of dandruff, so whenever I get one, a lot of it shows. My hairstylist called to her nearby friend twice, then looked at my hair and said, "Blech" under her breath. I got glares when I walked out. FML
Today, as I was waiting in line at the check out, some guy came up behind me, plucked a hair out of my head, and ran off with it. FML
Today, I was tutoring kids at an elementary school. One kid messed up my hair. I said, "Why'd you do that??" He said, "I have lice, now you have lice too!" FML
Today, this guy I like let me wear his favorite baseball hat that he never takes off. I returned it to him later, only to find out I have lice. FML
Today, the checkout guy at my local store asked me if I had my hair cut. I answered and started talking about my hair, and he gave me a really weird look. He was talking to his friend, who I hadn't noticed in the queue behind me. FML
Today, I got a call from my younger brother's school to pick him up immediately. He had a test today, but he had the brilliant idea that by telling everyone he had head lice, he could go home. I had to leave work to pick him up, and now I have to take him to a doctor so they can see if he can go back. FML
Today, I discovered that head lice shampoo can remove the dye from your hair. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm pretty sure he's not allowed to do that. You left without asking for the manager?

Seriously that person was an idiot. But when I had it I slept with mayonnaise in my hair (disgusting I know) for 8 hours then rinsed it out. Then you have to get all the nits out... I'm sorry, it sucks:(

What an asshole. Cashiers aren't supposed to judge. Go to another place and get some. There are also natural remedies too.

Even though you didn't request the manager at the time, contact them ASAP. They'll have it all on CCTV and you can make a complaint over the phone if you want. I know I would, that's completely inappropriate behaviour. What does that cashier do if a parent is buying it for their child? Will the cashier make the same assumption?

How did the cashier even know it was for them?? I've had to go to the store twice to buy lice shampoo for my little sister.

Salons can kick you out if you have lice, but a store cannot kick you out, you should file a complaint.

You should've said it wasn't for you

That is most certainly illegal and I guarantee you you could sue the store...
