Today, I was working at a shoe store and was helping a dude try on shoes. He looked like trouble and I wanted to finish with him. When he finally picked his shoes, he abruptly stood up and ran out of the store with the shoes on. The cost of them was deducted from my salary. $240. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I bought some shoes, but pissed off the lady working at the store by returning them 5 minutes later. She yelled at me and ripped my receipt in half, everyone in the store watched as she threw a handful of pennies at my face. FML
Today, while shopping for a pair of shoes, I saw a pair I really liked lying around, so I sat down to try them on. Then, a man came up to me and pointed out that they were actually his shoes. FML
Today, I wore my new shoes to work, feeling confident. Halfway through the day, I found out that I'd forgotten to remove a giant price sticker on the left sole. My boss pointed it out during a meeting, as I crossed my legs. FML
Today, a male employee at a shoe shop helped me try on shoes. Once I found a pair, I went to pay for them. I was telling the cashier about how great of an employee he was when she told me there were no male employees. A guy with a foot fetish helped me find shoes. FML
Today, I was trying on some shoes when I felt the heels break underneath me. Not only did they cost two paychecks worth, but as I was leaving I heard the sales girl say that "we really should have a weight limit for who can try on our products." FML
Today, while trying on clothes in Macy's, someone decided to throw some shoes over the wall and into my changing stall. I now have a black eye. FML
Today, I was in a shoe store. I picked up a shoe so I could look at it, but when I put it back on the shelf, the whole shelf fell down, making all the shoes fall to the ground. The people behind the counter started clapping. FML
Today, while working the register, I told a kid his total was $2.15. He then took his shoe off and handed me his money. It was damp. FML
Today, I was helping an old man find a pair of shoes. I told him about a particularly comfortable pair but had to inform him that they only came in black or white. Hearing this, the old man grabbed me around the neck and began to beat me in the head with our display shoe. He wanted brown. FML
Today, I was kicked out of a job interview at a clothing store for "not dressing appropriately" for the occasion. I'd purchased my outfit from the same store just two days prior with my last $100. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

there's no way he can deduct the cost of the shoes from your salary.....there is no way you can be held accountable for theft unless you were letting him try the shoes on right next to the exit of the store or w/e but even then, theft of store items should be reported and should be covered by the stores insurance policy.....next time, dont wither so easily under your boss and stand up for yourself......

when you are not at work, get a friend to have the boss wait on him. get the most expensive pair of shoes and run off with them on.

yeah ask your parents cos I can't imagine an adult wouldn't know this.. & together you can figure out what to say to the manager so it doesn't get taken out of your salary.

Do you think you can play wholesale price and not the sale price because the shoes were probably made in some poor country in Asia for like $10

you should not be responsible for that and should not have to pay. it's not your fault...

I'd get another job. This one obviously isn't going to net you much income if you have to pay out of your check every time some random jerk steals an expensive pair of shoes.

that sucks dude. you getting punished because someone took something is bullshit. Some resturaunts do the same thing, skip on the meal and the server gets the bill deducted from their pay check. you can bet the next time someone comes in, you will not be eager to help them. Contact your local representative, labor rights group, EEOC, states attorney general. that is ******* bull shit to get punished for what someone else does.

That is actually the only reason why I wouldn't dine-and-dash. Even if the food tasted like shit but was still really expensive, I wouldn't want the waiters to suffer as a result. Then again, if the service was incredibly poor, would I have any qualms? Probably not...

are you retarded? someone steals from the store and your boss takes the money from you and you just let him. YDI for sure. you moron. this is clearly a fake FML because i cant see a boss doing that. but he did sue the shit outta him. there is no way he would win the case. 'someone stole from the store so i think it is only fair that one of my workers pay it off because they did exactly their job which was helping the man look at shoes'

Depending on where you live, that's patently illegal. I'd look into it if I were you...
