Today, my boss sent me home from work because she saw me not checking under my customer's cart to see if they had any hidden groceries. I didn't check because the customer threatened to "kick my ass" if I "accused him of stealing" by checking. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, while bagging my groceries at a store, a lady came over to me, took a good look at the food I'd bought, picked out an item and put it in her bag. When I confronted her, she called security on me and told them I wanted to steal her stuff. I got thrown out and she walked away with a smirk. FML
Today, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. FML
Today, at work, a customer threatened to punch me in the face because the store I work at doesn't have shopping baskets, only carts. FML
Today, a customer left their shopping cart behind their car and backed into it. She then came inside and threatened to sue me personally for not sending someone to collect it from where she left it. After 5 minutes of her yelling, I finally got a word in edgeways: I don't work there. FML
Today, I was at the store when I saw that a cart in the checkout line next to me was starting to roll away and the owner hadn't noticed. I tried to help by reaching out to stop the cart from moving, but when the owner saw me with the cart, she began to hit me for trying to steal her purse. FML
Today, my sister got me in deep trouble at the store I worked security for. She "dropped by to say hi" and stole a bunch of things when I wasn't looking. I wasn't arrested, due to lack of any evidence. But my boss didn't care about evidence and fired me anyway. FML
Today, I was shopping with my husband. At the self-checkout, one of the items I was buying for him as a gift didn’t register. As we were walking out, I get stopped and escorted to the loss prevention office, where I was accused of stealing. FML
Today, I was grocery shopping when I left my cart to grab an item. I returned, and started pushing the cart again. Halfway through the store, a furious lady confronted me, demanding her cart back. I had to walk back in shame to find my own actual cart, which was now nowhere to be found. FML
Today, a customer filed a complaint against me because my coworker took too long to do a price check. I hate my job. FML

I kind of doubt that the customer would have "kicked your ass" had you checked. Did you tell your boss about it?

I had a 90 year old woman escorted off the property of the building I work for for refusing to have her bag searched. If your job is to check, it doesn't matter if they want it or not - if a simple "It's required of everybody" doesn't convince them, then there needs to be a plan in place for getting a superior involved. YDI all the way for not doing your job, and I hope you learn your lesson.

Do your job its your job for a reason if you can't handle it get a different one. I'm sure our soldiers let terrorists through because they threaten them and judges let off criminals because they are scared of them. That's got to be one of the easiest jobs you can have be a grown up a get it done

Definitely call the manager the next time that happens. It is absolutely NOT appropriate for a customer to threaten you. The grocery stores in my area have mirrors in the check-out lane so you can check the cart from behind the register just by looking at the reflection. Maybe you should suggest that for your store.
