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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, my boss fired me because I "didn't get the right kind of coffee beans." FML
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
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, 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
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 went to my favorite coffee shop, ordered my usual, smiled at the barista I have a crush on, and confidently said, "You too!" when they told me to enjoy my drink. I have to find a new coffee shop. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Okay seriously, I need my coffee too (not a morning person at all + having to be at work by 7 am = desperate) but I still wouldn't treat an employee like that. Even if they WERE out of coffee, it wouldn't be the baristas' fault, you jackass. Before I've had my morning coffee I don't have the energy to yell at anybody anyway, though.

People like you are the reason I was very happy to quit working at Starbucks after 2.5 years. Learn how to brew coffee yourself. Or chill out for 2 seconds and get an americano. I've had people freak out at me when the brewers were actually broken, and guess what? If you shut up for a minute I can explain about this handy thing called espresso.

pretty much whatever everyone else said, you don't yell, even if you don't have your coffee. :/ YDI.

No one "needs" a cup of coffee to do anything, you would get more energy return from eating an apple. You just sounded like you are addicted and were being cranky cause you couldn't get a fix. Plus, Starbucks is a horrible place any way.

I agree - she's lacking nutrition, not caffeine.

13, I actually just assumed it was a drive-thru Starbucks. I figured thats why the OP didn't notice a bunch of people screaming April Fools straightaway....

I worked at Starbucks for 2 years. The only reason the employees didn't say something smart back to you is because they would have been fired. We ******* hate assholes like you who come in, think you own the world, and then have shit fits if your half caf triple grande, three and a quarter pump caramel, nonfat, extra hot, light whip latte isn't done in about 30 seconds. Newsflash: employees are human beings too, and we like to have a little fun. Additionally, anyone who thinks that Starbucks is out of coffee is clearly a moron.

We had a customer drop her icecream once and she went on a rampage like it was our fault. The whole time we were screaming "WE CAN GIVE YOU ANOTHER ONE FOR FREE." and then stormed out while the other customers were like "you free like 100 times". Tip, don't ever freak out at a cashier, you might miss something important.

I've red a thousand of FML's about people being fired for not speaking politely, and this is all okay?! Weird stuff :O

I agree with a lot of the posters here: don't be such a jackass. Chances are, none of the people making/serving the coffee are the ones responsible for placing shipments, so it wouldn't have been their fault anyways. You're just going to piss off the baristas and make a damn fool of yourself. Also: even if they were out, big deal. There's bound to be other coffee shops nearby (or, crazy thought, brew it yourself at home). And this is coming from a fellow caffeine addict.
