Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, at work at a store, I was sitting on the floor stocking a bottom shelf. A woman in a motorized cart did not see me, and ran over my hand. When I alerted her about what she had done she laughed. FML
Today, at work, a customer threatened to punch me in the face because the store I work at doesn't have shopping baskets, only carts. FML
Today, as I was working in retail, this guy shoved me into the shelves for asking if he needed help with anything, screaming at me that I need to leave him alone. FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, my coworker got angry at a mean customer. She came to the back where I work and started punching the wall repeatedly. When I tried to intervene and stop her from breaking her hand, she punched me in the stomach and uppercut me. FML
Today, I was at work as a cashier. An old lady unbagged everything I had, and angrily "taught" me how to bag. She put potatoes on her eggs and broke them. She then screamed that I was useless and retarded in front of all my other customers and manager. 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
Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. 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

Even in Canada they have asshole customers we need a 'how not to be an assholes class' taught in schools.

One time one of my Co-workers was fixing the shoe section. Every time she'd fix something, this little boy would undo what she had done. Then he'd do this evil giggle and she couldn't do anything because the parents would have b*tched her out. She had to go back after he left and fix the whole section again.

Hey....I didn't know you worked at my lovely place of employment! Some customers are extremely lousy human beings. Don't let the bad ones ruin it for you. Let the few and far between awesome ones make you smile :)

This happens more than people realize. I'm a supervisor at a very large discount t retailer. Honestly, the problem is that corporations have adopted the slogan; "The customer is always right" TOO much! By the end of the night our entire store is on the floor... Not the racks or shelves. This happens even when we have people recovering all day. Why? Because we ALLOW customers to destroy the store right in front of us. Corporate won't allow us to kick people out of the store for making an unnecessary mess. We can't even ask them to behave like decent human beings. Corporate is too afraid of losing a sale. I've been exactly where you've been, OP. Customers have a sense of entitlement, especially when they view the workers as in the way. Some days I just want to quit. Hang in there!!

How hard is it to just say "Excuse me, but could I please get (X amount of item), please?" if the worker is blocking what you need or want? If you're not in a hurry, you can always get the other things off your list and circle back around. The worker is usually done and you can get your shopping done. There is no need to be an asshole.

You know she committed a crime right? But you probably apologized right?
