Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was disciplined by my boss for "not smiling enough." I'm a dishwasher. FML

Today, at work, 5 minutes after I'd sent my help home, we got an 83 dollar order. I'm the only cook. FML
Today, I started work at catering company. I was aware that I'd be cleaning dishes, but they forgot to warn me how many. Needless to say, after polishing 527 glasses, my hands hurt. FML
Today, I stayed until 11 PM washing, wiping, and mopping up the entire restaurant. I forgot to clock in. FML
Today, I had my first shift as a server at a restaurant after getting stuck behind an accident and arriving late, apologizing profusely. Apparently no one knew I'd been hired but I was still yelled at for tardiness. They then made me clean a fridge for 4 hours and paid me in pizza. FML
Today, after my man told me to get the dishes done and clean up the kitchen, he got mad at me because I didn’t answer my phone when our son needed medicine that was downstairs. I didn’t hear it ring because I was throwing out the trash, cleaning out the fridge, and washing the dishes, like I was told to do. FML
Today, at work, I got to wait on one of those tables where everyone had very complex orders, and some of them sent their food back. When the time finally came for me to bring them their check and receive my well-earned tip, I returned only to discover that they'd dined and dashed. FML
Today, I got yelled at in a grocery store by a customer who recognized me from the pizza place where I work. Apparently, I forgot mushrooms on her pizza earlier this afternoon. I had the day off, but thanks for the verbal lashing, lady. FML

"Alright, you can stop washing dishes now; you're on the cash register." "No." "Stop washing dishes." "NO!" "All the dishes are clean! Just STOP!" "NOOOOOOOO!"

Couldn't you have explained this? It's not right taking the blame for someone else. This person is not only affecting you, but potential customers. Talk to a manager and get things cleared up.

I know how that feels op :/ i got yelled at on friday for accepting a payment and writing off the debt and basically "making the money disappear." Only that i hadnt taken the payment... And i dont have access to write off anything. I explained this to the owner and maybe, if you didn't, you can try doing the same? If it is too late, remember it for next time. Have a voice and be polite. I know how hard that is. It took me about 2 hours of the owner speaking "calmly" before i finally found my voice and stuck up for myself. I didnt get in trouble and he thanked me because now he "knew who to blame." >.> but atleast i am not at fault for money i didnt touch.

Seems unusual. If it was the customer who yelled at you, maybe your supervisor wanted to take you off the floor to avoid more problems, but it's usually only until the difficult customer leaves. Are you new to the job? Is this a repeat occurrence?
