Today, I was yelled at by a customer because I couldn't tell her where the vitamins were in the pharmacy. The manager came and yelled at me for being lazy and incompetent. I work in the store across the street from the pharmacy. FML
Obviously works everywhere
The customer is always a dong
Today, a customer filed a formal complaint with corporate about me, because I wouldn't help her find things she wanted while I was off the clock. We were in a completely different store than the one where I actually work. FML

Go away, lady!
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, 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

Today, a customer yelled at me so furiously that she sprayed my face with spittle. I had to stand there, smiling and politely explaining that I needed to see a receipt before I could give her a refund. When she finally gave up and left, my boss bitched me out for "provoking the customer". FML

You should have turned the tables around and asked to see the person's manager.

Finally! A situation where the customer is wrong! You should go to the store manager and demand an advance on your imaginary paycheck.

Then what does it matter?

Because no one likes being yelled at, especially in public. Not everyone is brave enough to call the other person out on it as well.

I would've yelled right back and then laughed when she tried to report me to the manager. If the manager had not yet seen me, I would have left the store so that when the manager comes to investigate there is no one there. The customer would then appear to be insane, shouting "No! I swear he/she was right there!" into the manager's face. Justice has been served, with a side dish of creamy revenge topped with humiliation.

Then people should learn to be assertive nothing better when you're right then to turn the person trying to make you look like a jackass into the biggest jackass of all.

If it was by a employ tell them you quit. If its by a costumer tell them you don't work there.

#30, Perfect set-up for what you said. I worked at BK, guy comes in screaming about his order being wrong, I tell him we haven't served his particular order on my shift. He yells that it was on the earlier shift and he wants to see the manager. Manager worked the earlier shift and is standing right behind the guy(literally 3 feet from him). Words cannot describe the look on the guy's face when he realizes his mistake and cannot get away with the fraud this time!

That must've been an extraordinarily ignorant person.

The main reason why people have been doing this lately is probably because it was on some Betty white show. Personally, I'd laugh my ass off rather than write an FML about it ;)

Should have asked for a raise...

And you just stood there and took it? Why didn't you say something back?

OP should've acted like they worked there and yelled back at the person. Then when they get the manager they will just look at OP and be like "they don't work here.." and make the person seem like a moron.

If you're that bad, you should be fired. Hypothetically of course.

Some customers can be stupid. So much for "the customer is always right."

I agree with 64. I just got yelled at by a customer for not giving them a discount on produce. I'm a cake decorator. Customer's can be morons.

I used to work at a McDonald's. I got yelled at by a moronic lady who demanded a discount on chai, no matter how many times I told her that we didn't have any.

Don't worry Op its not your fault people are stupid.... You should of asked the person to leave the store.

The English language is evolving all the time. If people keep saying "should of" instead of "should've" it will become part of the evolution.

Okay...then who cares! Just say I don't work here and I wont be shopping here any more.
walmartpaysme 15
Why would you stop shipping somewhere because a moronic customer pissed you off? That has absolutely nothing to do with the place of business itself.

This has happened to me in the past. Sucks when people assume...
Syneriam 7
I don't see why you were getting down voted, this has indeed happened to me before, I haven't gotten yelled at like the op but I have gotten confused as someone that works in a store, and when people started asking for help finding things and I told them I did not work in the store, they would call the manager or another worker to verify if I was lying or not. it does suck but in the end the person looks like a fool :p
riellllle 14
Whoa, people actually ask the manager if you work there? That's crazy!
