Today, I was verbally harassed by a customer because I wouldn’t give her special treatment after her meal was incorrect. I offered her a refund and a coupon for a free meal, which she refused before calling me a stupid kid who wouldn’t do anything to help her. FML

Today, a customer asked a question I couldn’t answer. I asked if she would wait while I consulted someone else, but she spat in my face and stormed off. My manager saw, wrote me up for refusing to help, and gave the woman a gift card for her troubles. 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 had a formal complaint filed against me for being outrageously rude to a customer. All I did was tell a customer that she couldn't use food stamps at the movie theater. FML

Today, while at work, a customer refused to speak louder, despite me asking her to do it several times. As a result, I took her order incorrectly. The customer then finally decided to raise her voice, but only to yell at me about my poor listening skills. FML

Today, a lady asked for a refund for a taco kit because inside the box was just tortillas, seasoning and sauce. When I pointed out the text in small letters that she had to provide her own ingredients, she told my manager I disrespected her by making her feel stupid. I was written up. FML

Today, a lady cussed me out for not bringing her salad and pizza to her table. She then wanted her money back. I work at a buffet; a self-serve buffet. FML

Today, I was verbally abused by a customer because her entrée was too fishy. I'm not the chef, just the waiter and I work at a fish grill. FML

Today, at work I was trying to be nice and give a customer a discount because she was having trouble finding money to pay for her food. Everybody behind her then demanded a discount as well. FML

Today, I got yelled, screamed, and cursed at by a customer until I was reduced to tears. This was all because I double-checked to make sure she wanted large fries. FML

A refund AND a free meal coupon? Sounds like special treatment to me. The only thing I’ve ever been offered after getting my order screwed up is the correct meal. Be kind to those who handle your food if you ever plan on eating there again.

“Today... I gave the stupid kid who messed up my last order another chance to wait on me. This time he got my order of spaghetti marinara correct, but spilled it all over my white pantsuit.”

I hope the idiot who coined the phrase "the customer is always right" is burning in hell.

How hard is your job that you can't even get a simple order correct?

rush hour hits a restaurant, on of the kitchen employees misread a order... new trainee messes up... customer forgets to inform you of allergies

Lol as a person who used to make sandwiches at a subway I’ve learned that some people can be absolute douchebags with their orders. To be fair some people have health issues, but I swear some people make it their lifelong objective to be asshats. That being said on a busy day you could be juggling 3-5 tables at one time and if you get one of these types of people at a table it really turns into a shit show.

Wtf? Maybe there was just one minor thing wrong, but the stupid ass customer threw a major hissy fit bc she (said customer) was just a bitch.

like I always say, watch the movie Waiting and then decide if you want to get shitty with the people who make your food.

Don't let anyone talk to you like that. I'm not saying to stoop to their level but you can ask them to stop. No job is worth it. Plus by law you can refuse service.
