Today, I had to serve an incredibly rude and irrationally angry customer, but I managed to keep my cool. When he finally went to leave with his purchase, I wished him a good day. He whirled around and yelled "I'll have whatever the fuck kind of day I want, bitch!" 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

Today, my boss came around to my way of thinking. He called our customers a "bunch of assholes" and to kick them out if they gave me trouble. When a lady began yelling at me for "setting the damn prices too high" I told her to leave. My boss soon bitched me out for being unprofessional. FML

Today, I got called a cunt at work by a customer. What could I have said that could have caused them to say that? "Have a great day." FML

Today, after finally getting rid of an extremely rude, abusive customer, I muttered that I could kill people like her. I didn't know my manager had heard me, until a pair of police officers arrived. He'd reported me for "threatening to murder a customer". FML

Today, a customer berated me and told me to stop whining because I have to work on the weekend. What did I do to deserve this? I said, "Hi, how are you doing today?" FML

Today, a customer was rude to me, and I was rude back. He then asked for my manager, and I told him I was the store manager. He then identified himself as the corporate owner. FML

Today, I answered a call at work from a very irate gentleman. After being shouted and sworn at profusely, I ended the call in a slightly less than civil manner. Turns out that guy is one of our company's biggest clients. FML

Today, a man tried to rob the store I work at. Before the guy was taken by the cops, he complained to my manager for "unfriendly behavior". He took it seriously and bitched me out for not providing "quality service" to our customers. FML

Today, my manager cussed me out for being unable to keep a customer happy. That "customer" was a senile old twit who had wandered away from his carer, thought our shop was his living room, and demanded to know who replaced all his furniture. FML

Today, I briefly had the coolest boss in the world. He stormed over to a nasty customer who was giving me hell, and he absolutely laid into her. It lasted about 10 seconds before he collapsed from a major heart attack. A coworker's already blamed me for not pacifying the customer in the first place and causing all this to happen. FML

Drake and Josh anyone? "Have a good day." "Don't tell me what to do."

I would have just laughed. People like that you have to feel sorry for. They live very angry lives.

legally you can report him to a manager and he can be adked to leave the store, that counts as verbal assault to an employee, just because you have to be nice doesnt mean you have to serve someone who is verbally violent to you without cause

Made an account just to comment. We shouldn't be so quick to judge this man as we don't know his side of this. He could have just lost a family member or been fired from his job. Maybe even lost his kids. You can't help taking that kind of stuff out on other people and I'm sure none of you can't tell me you haven't taken your anger out on someone before.

No, I've never gone around screaming and swearing at strangers just because I had a bad day. Most mature adults are capable of controlling themselves in public.

I agree with your customer. Don't tell me what kind of day to have. It puts all kinds of pressure on me to go out and manage to have a good time somewhere.
