Today, I went to the self-checkout line at Walmart. When I tried to pay, the cash wouldn't go in, so I stood there trying to cram money into the thing that's supposed to take your money. What I didn't realize was that there was a sign up top that said: "No Cash. Cards Only." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I used the self-checkout for the first time. I didn't see a slot for bills, so I tried to put them in the coin slot for a solid three minutes. There was a huge line behind me, silently judging. FML
Today, I was paying for groceries when the cashier asked if I wanted cash back. I said yes and handed over my card. She stared at me and said, “You're using a library card.” I'd pulled the wrong card out of my wallet. FML
Today, I went to the grocery store. My checker was very hot. When it came time for me to pay, I swiped my debit card and the machine kept rejecting it. Sure that I had money in my account, I did it again, before the cute checker informed me that I was swiping my driver's license, not my debit card. FML
Today, I had an extremely embarrassing moment when I tried to pay my restaurant bill. First, I tried swiping my card, only for it not to work. After the cashier suggested I insert my chip card, I tried putting it on the bottom, only for it not to be there. I finished by putting the card in the proper place upside-down. FML
Today, at a self-checkout, I scanned all my items, bagged them, and left. Only when I got outside did I realize I had completely forgotten to pay. I then noticed that security was running to stop me, and I had to explain that I wasn’t a thief, just an idiot. FML
Today, I went to Walmart to get some acne cream. As I approached the register, I looked in my wallet for the money. The cashier saw that I didn't have enough money, and before I could say anything, he goes, "Just take it, I've never seen anyone who needs it this much." FML
Today, I went to the grocery store where this really cute guy works. I swiped my card but the machine wouldn't read it. I swiped it quickly some more before getting frustrated and saying, "Your stupid machine doesn't work!" He took the card and turned it around. His face said it all. FML
Today, a woman came up to my cash register, where I was struggling with the cash, and asked if we took cash. FML
Today, I went shopping on my only day off. The only aisle open was self-checkout. I'm a cashier. FML
Today, I was using self-checkout at the grocery store, and the machine flipped out and started randomly announcing, "Please wait for assistance." No one came to help, but the machine just kept loudly repeating it until everyone stared at me like I was trying to steal grapes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

On the bright side, it didn't steal your money like nearly every vending machine I've encountered

Thereʻs no good way to break this to you. Youʻre one of the People of WalMart.

Working at Wal-Mart, I've seen this happen more times than I can count in one day.

If it makes you feel better, I've seen people ignore three different signs, on the screen, the scanner, and covering the money slot and still ask, "where does the cash go?" and then complain that there should have been a sign on the screen, which I then point out. I've come to the conclusion that no matter how many signs you have, someone will always miss them all, for one reason or another.

I'm a cashier and it's extremely annoying when people just break the machines trying to cram bills or coins or even credit cards in when it clearly says NOT TO. YDI now go die in a hole

Wow, REALLY? A sign, that OP didn't notice, and it's OP's fault? I have to say, at the last sentence I was thinking 'Right back at ya'

Yeah, #78, cause OP clearly deserves to die because he (or she) missed a sign. To Hell with him or her! /s

More proof that only idiots shop at Walmart. When will people wake up and realize how evil this company is?
