Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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.

That's a situation with two solutions. One, you told them you don't work there. Or two, you trolled their ass. I hope you did the toght thing and picked the later OP.

You should still be friendly because if you aren't you look like a bully. Plus it makes the business look bad so you cost them money! Shame on you!

I really hope you're being sarcastic or joking.

In this tough economy, stores are hiring fewer employees and are relying on the smarter customers to help out the dumber ones. Kudos to you for being perceived as at least a smart customer. Too bad you didn't live up to the store's standards. Ask the manager for a customer training course.

Depend on what you wore. If you walked into target wearing red shirt beige pants, then you had to expect someone would think you worked there. But if you walked into home depo wearing shorts and a polo shirt then it's not your fault at all.

Dosnt matter I have worn my work shirt into a different store and the shirts look nothing alike and I still get asked if I work there or where something is.

I agree with 31. Same thing happens to me when I go to a store wearing my-- different looking work shirt. It's gotten to the point that I now carry a hoodie in my car to change into just so I won't be bothered with that, "Do you work here?" question!

This happens to me constantly! I've been asked questions in probably a dozen different stores: Wal-Mart, Best Buy, even the grocery stores. My sister has stated I simply "reek of customer service" from all my years in retail.

You should wear a t-shirt that reads "I don't work here". It's a popular design.
