Today, my boss bitched me out on the sales floor for a good 10 minutes, because I wasn't "smiling the right way" for our customers. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my boss called me into his office and bitched me out for a good half hour for my attitude to our customers. Apparently I always look pissed off and sound sarcastic. That's just my face at rest. FML
Today, my boss came around to my way of thinking. He called our customers a "bunch of assholes" and to kick them out if they gave me trouble. When a lady began yelling at me for "setting the damn prices too high" I told her to leave. My boss soon bitched me out for being unprofessional. FML
Today, my boss scolded me for being too friendly to our customers and told me to back off and let them do their thing. Less than an hour after doing as he said, he scolded me again, this time for slacking off and not asking them if they needed help finding stuff. There goes my bonus. 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, my boss bitched me out for a customer complaint. The complaint was me not laughing at the customer's joke of me asking for his ID and him saying no. I'm sorry, I've been getting this "joke" a least twice a day since I started working here two years ago. FML
Today, I was disciplined by my boss for "not smiling enough." I'm a dishwasher. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me in front of several customers for gesturing too much while I talk, because it's "unprofessional". I was using sign language. FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, my manager cussed me out for being unable to keep a customer happy. That "customer" was a senile old twit who had wandered away from his carer, thought our shop was his living room, and demanded to know who replaced all his furniture. FML
Today, a customer told my boss I was too pushy because I asked her what bra size she wears. I work at a lingerie store. I got a stern lecture from my boss. FML

Your boss needs to take a chill pill. No worries, keep smiling! Good luck to you :)

Just smile really creepily and say, "May I take your hat, sir?"

No, you're showing too much gum! Now it's not enough! Your teeth are the wrong shade of white! Pull the corners of your mouth up another fourth of a centimeter! Does that look like a fourth of a centimeter to you?! God Dammit you're worthless! And are you wearing light pink lip gloss with glitter?! You know it's mandatory to wear medium pink lip gloss with a mild shimmer! The customers will never respect you if your lips are the wrong shade of pink! SMILE RIGHT OR YOU'RE FIRED!!

i feel ya OP, if it's any consolation; bosses aren't supposed to make any sense.

#28, yes, bosses are supposed to make sense. If your boss makes no sense, it's probably time to ask questions or look for a different job. With a smile, of course...

Was your smile upside down? I don't think there is a wrong way to smile...

Sorry OP. I know how you feel. I once got a lecture when I worked in retail about how I was not smiling enough and was told my job was on the line if my smiles did not equal the amount of hours I worked per shift. Smiling all day is near impossible unless you are a crazed clown. I hope you find a better job soon. One that doesn't out unrealistic expectations on their staff. If you do happen to quit make sure you tell her to F*** Off. Good luck
