Today, I had to sit patiently at the checkout at work, listening to my own father rant about how the twinkies he was buying were "twice the size back in my day", and how "you could buy a dozen of these suckers for just 10 cents." He didn't stop there. No, he tried to haggle over the price. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I work at a general store and a customer came in trying to bargain a set price of an item. The item? A 50 cent candy bar. He wanted it for 34 cents. This is not the first time he's done this. FML
Today, while at my job in a candy store, a boy stuck his hand into the bin, contaminating the candy. As I politely explained that the dad had to purchase the affected candy he refused, yelled, then angrily agreed to buy them. The total cost of the candy with the extra pieces? $1.69. FML
Today, at my store, I had an old man violently accuse me of charging him for an extra pack of 99¢ Mounds candy yesterday. He held up my line for 10 minutes, fighting me about it. I didn't even work yesterday. FML
Today, my dad got into an argument with the cashier about how overpriced the scented tampons were. FML
Today, while working at a dollar store, I was clobbered by a woman because apparently, I was ripping her off by charging two dollars for two doughnuts. She didn't understand that she couldn't buy multiple items at once for one dollar. FML
Today, I went to a corner store to restock my chocolate stash. A guy from work walked in to see me and the cashier arguing about the amount of candy I was trying to buy with a jar of pennies. He took one look at me and said, "That time of the month, eh?" FML
Today, my Dad and I went to McDonald's, only to have him shove two handfuls of sugar packets into the bag. He said, "If it's for free, why only take one?" To make it worse, my crush was at the till, watching what was happening. FML
Today, I stopped at a mini-mart and bought a family-size bag of potato chips, a tub of dip, a box of toaster pastries, and some snack cakes. The guy at the counter said, "Wow, someone's hungry!" I told him it wasn't all for me, paid, and left in a huff. It was all for me. I ate it all by that evening. FML
Today, I was waiting in line for what seemed like forever at the only open lane at the grocery store. The guy in front of me took his sweet time and had multiple cards rejected, before finally pulling out a $100 bill and demanding exact change. He was buying a carton of milk. FML
Today, when I told a gentleman that, no, he couldn't have cash back on his return without a receipt, he started screaming at me that I was calling his mother a liar. He told me to lawyer up and yelled at me for smiling at him. He also screamed at me to go on a diet as he left the store. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Security! Haggler on Register 5! Don't worry, it's not Marvin the Hitman, but bring the Taser anyways. Now, go away, Dad, do you want me to become an unemployed loser like you?

You young whipper snappers just don't realize back in the day men were men, a horse was a horse (of course) and women and blacks were second class citizens. Ahh the good ole days. Sarcasm!

Now gays want 'em too it's a slippery slope I tells ya... slippery because it's covered in santorum. Sarcasm! (that means I don't actually mean this stuff it's used to point out how ridiculous it is and you SHOULDN'T BE OFFENDED!)

FYI for having to put up with that; your dad is out of his mind for thinking that the grocery store was gonna sell him Twinkies at a huge profit loss. I work retail and I do get the occasional customers who give me the "Back in my day, I could buy a weeks worth of jeans for $10" bullshit. I try to tell them "yeah but you also made like $3 an hour" but they don't listen. :/

I've heard those stories too. "Why is it so expensive? Is it made out of gold or something?" ***Ugh!

How can anyone not like Twinkie's?

Just think how expensive they'll be in the next few years. When he finally gets that special bargain price, have him stock up big time for the future. Twinkies never go bad.
