Today, I went to Starbucks to get coffee. The employees told me that there was no more coffee. I started cursing at them and told them that I am in a really big hurry, and that I need coffee every day. They had been yelling back the whole time. Little did I realize, they were saying April Fool's. FML

Today, I had to admit that my coffee addiction is really bad when I woke up in a Starbucks with no memory of how I got there. FML

Today, I went into a small coffee shop. In line, a guy came up to me and was like "I haven't seen you here before, are you new in town?" and I replied with "Oh, no I've lived here for years. The coffee here is crap, though, so I only come here when Starbucks is full" He's the owner of the shop. FML

No coffee for you

Today, I walked into Starbucks for a job application. I asked the manager if they were hiring, as I really need a job. He looked me up and down and replied, "NO!" There was a 'Now hiring' sign in the window. FML

Today, I went to Starbucks to get my free birthday coffee and due to a mistake I received two. Thinking it was my lucky day, I hurried off to work. As I was walking in, I tripped and spilt one coffee all over my new dress. Then I walked into a door and spilt the other. FML

In through the out door

Today, I stopped at Starbucks to get tea before work and was surprised that there wasn't a line. As I was leaving, the automatic door closed, knocking my tea out of my hand. I headed back in, only to discover a huge line had formed and they made me pay for the replacement that their door spilled. 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, I was late for work and got chewed out by my boss. To console myself I decided to drink a cup of coffee and a cup of tea. My work provides this for free. When I did, my boss told me that in fact it wasn't, nor has it ever been, free; all this time I've been stealing other people's coffee. 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, I set my cup of coffee down on the stall floor to take care of my business. A hand reached under the stall door and took my coffee. I yelled to give it back, calling them obscene names. Moments later, my fresh coffee came flying over the door. I'm burned from my head to my legs. FML

You're a douchebag, and you're the reason why the world sucks so much ass. I hope they poured the coffee down your pants, you ****.

Why would you start cursing them out? That's incredibly rude, disrespectful and immature. It's just coffee, grow up. Also, the chances of Starbucks being completely out of coffee *and* espresso is zero. You're an idiot for believing them, clearly unobservant enough not to notice that other people had drinks and for cursing out people who deal with a ton of bullshit from people like you on a daily basis and still have to pretend to give a **** about your needs. I have plenty of bad days, but I don't take it out on retail employees. That's just pathetic.

YDI. As if yelling at the employees, who are probably hs and college kids, is going to get you anywhere.

Today the hotel I'm staying at was out of coffee so I threw a fit, and chewed out the lady at the check out desk, because, as an American, I can't live without coffee. Well not really. I actually behaved rationally and *gasp* got a cup of tea instead.

You wentle too damned far with the yelling/cursing but still . . . playing jokes on customers IS bad-service. It's only funny when Captain D's decorates one table, if they tried to play like the commercial, I'd definitely complain about it. And OP stands for Original Poster, #113

To be honest, I'd probably be gullible enough to believe their April Fool's joke. However, I wouldn't become a vile bitchy customer like you were. I work in the customer service industry, and I can tell you from experience that the next time you go in there, any employees that recognize you will hate you. I just can't understand how people can be so unbelievably rude to other people who are just trying to make a living. YDI completely.
