Today, I told a customer the bread he wanted has been discontinued. He replied with, "Are you serious? What is your name? I'm going up front to complain about you." I still don't understand how that's specifically my fault. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, while at work, a customer, who was also on his phone, rudely asked what kinds of bread we had for his sandwich. After I told him we had many different kinds to offer, he cut me off, told me to stop playing stupid, and stormed out after holding up a long line of people. FML
Today, I was at the bakery I work at. A man came in to pick up a cake he said he ordered, but we could find neither the cake nor the order form. He yelled at me about being 'incompetent' before remembering that he had ordered the cake from a different bakery. FML
Today, I was cussed out by a customer who was unhappy, and he asked to speak with my manager. When I told him I owned the store, he said that that was the problem. Apparently women are "too flaky" to run a bakery properly. FML
Today, I walked into a store to buy a type of bread I like. The stuff was sold out, so I asked an employee when they'll be restocking it. The employee yelled at me, because, "They do have that bread," walks to the isle, and then when she saw that they really were out of the bread, she walked off. FML
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
Today, a customer complained he never got his sandwich, even though I put it in the oven, dressed it up and served it to him. When I went to clear his table off, I saw the sandwich basket. We had to give him his money back. 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, I was taking a table's order. After I finished, the guy told me, "Just FYI, I'm not a tipper." Trying to lighten up the situation, I replied, "It's amazing how many people forget I handle their food." He complained to the manager that I'd threatened him. FML
Today, I was working when I delivered the standard "Hello, how are you?" to a customer. He took the opportunity to tell me about his deceased wife, his estranged children, and his anal tearing. After a while, I tried to help someone else, and he complained to my manager. I was written up. FML
Today, a customer filed a complaint against me because my coworker took too long to do a price check. I hate my job. FML

Because you've been stalking the customer and got the job there specifically to get their favorite bread discontinued you evil criminal master mind you*sarcasm font*

In the customers eyes, you're always the one at fault(You control everything obviously). You just gotta ignore them honestly, hopefully the complaint wont be taken seriously. I've met dozens of these intelligent human beings myself.

Hope whoever this nutjob complained to (like a manager) laughed at them until they left.

I hate it when something gets discontinued and customers are all "I've bought it here before!!! Go check at the back!!" Like no, I won't be checking out back for something we don't sell. Feeling your pain, OP!

Let him complain man... Let your manager have a good laugh too.

Op obviously it's your job to see to it that every client gets exactly what he wants, no matter what it is. If you aren't able to provide every random customer with every random wish they have, you are not doing your job correctly! I hope the sarcasm was obvious & seriously **** that person.

Tell him it is a "naan"-issue.

The more I read this FML, the more annoyed I become. Shall I strangle him for you? Please?

I feel your pain OP. I used to work in a grocery store bakery and people were savage. One of my favourites was the guy who screamed, "NO YOU'RE WRONG! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!" When I told him our square cinnamon buns were the same thing as our round ones, just different shapes. I worked there for four years and I still get flashbacks. *shudders*

Gotta to love retail. Everything is your fault. Price is wrong, cashiers fault.

I once had a customer report me to the head office for explaining to him that a particular book was no longer on the front table because it had been out for over 2 weeks. My general manager wrote me up.

Why?

Don't tell them your name. That's what I use to do when I worked in a grocery store. I would ask them their name. It would piss them off. Haha!

Don't most places require a nam Tag of some sort? Also asking them for their name.. Why? Shouldn't encourage escalation imo

Obviously you never worked in retail. Half the customers can't read. And half the managers don't care what goes on.

Also might I add op stated that the customer asked for their name. Validating my point.
