Today, I paid top dollar for an Italian soda that ended up consisting almost entirely of ice. When I complained, the girl insisted that the soda water stopped the ice from melting. She said she didn't see what the problem was, and threatened to have me thrown out if I didn't "simmer down." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was sent home for refusing to sign a write up at my restaurant. A customer insisted that she doesn’t drink soda so she’d like a ginger ale. I calmly explained to her that ginger ale is in fact soda. She told management I was being condescending and rude, because she didn’t believe me. FML
Today, I was waitressing when a man sat at my table with soda from somewhere else. Drinks are half the profit for restaurants. There is a strict policy that you have to charge for carry-in drinks. I told him this, he yelled at me so I told him I was doing my job. I got fired, for doing my job. FML
Today, a customer kept harassing me and threatening to sue me for all I'm worth because I wouldn't give her a free refill. Her reasoning was that it's "illegal" to deny people a free refill if there's still a little drink left in the cup. FML
Today, at the café I work at, I was yelled at by a woman because the drinks and food she ordered were "taking too long". Before I had the chance to get a word in, she stormed out and said she would never come back. I didn't get the chance to inform her that she hadn't ordered yet. FML
Today, a customer screamed at me, because her iced coffee tasted exactly like coffee, and she hates coffee. Sadly, this isn't even the most insane person I've had to deal with at this job. FML
Today, at work, a customer came in and ordered a "Butterbeer Frappuccino." When I said we serve no such thing, she yelled at me for "lying" to her, saying she knew about our "secret menu." She ended up complaining to my manager and demanded that he fire me. 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, I was called a fascist and accused of being "racist" against poor people, all because some crazy meth-mouthed bitch couldn't afford some booze and expected me to cut the price by almost 40% so she could. FML
Today, a customer yelled and cursed at me, splashing spittle in my face, and to top it all off she wished “my mom would die in a fire.” All this because I accidentally spilled her milkshake all over her Louis Vuitton handbag. Apparently, it “costs more than my rent.” FML
Today, while working at Dairy Queen, a customer asked me what was so special about our ice cream cakes, and how they're different from regular cakes. I chuckled, and told her it's because they're made from ice cream. She threw a fit, which resulted in me being written up and sent home early. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Pray tell, what's an "Italian soda"? Also seeing as you live in California and pay "top dollar" for things, the odds of you being stupid and/or unreasonable are very high.

Any bar tender who packs the glass with ice is obviously well trained and sensible, its the general public who are idiots. You put a little ice and lots of liquid and the ice melts-diluting the drink as water is warmer then ice. Lots of ice actually cools down the liquid, as anyone who is either a bar tender or has studies basic physics would know.

Ok...I'm confused. Since you're the expert maybe you can help me out. What's the difference between a little bit of ice melting fast and diluting a lot of liquid...or a lot of ice melting a little and diluting a very small amount of liquid?

Well then I'm sorry for being one of the ignorant general public. I ask for half a glass of ice for my soda's (italian or otherwise). I tell them that if they can't fix it that way for me, I am more than capable of going to the bar and fixing it myself. It gets done right every time :)

Oh don't apologise to that dumb-ass...he has no idea what the hell he's talking about. The only reason for packing a drink with ice is to increase profit margins by giving the customer less of what they are actually paying for.

Actually, no matter how little ice there is, it is physically impossible for the temperature of the drink to be above the temperature of the ice so long as the ice isn't completely melted. The ice, no matter how much of it, melts at the same rate at the same time. Chemistry 101.

YDI for paying top dollar for "Italian soda" smh

I'm fairly certain that an Italian soda is supposed to have a lot of ice. Therefore your complaint is invalid.

Next time, just ask for no ice.
