Today, some jackass in an Iron Man mask nailed me in the head with a quarter while I was helping other customers. Minimum wage isn't worth this crap. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, a customer asked for my number. When I declined, he made a huge scene, shouting and scaring other customers. He tipped me seven cents. FML
Today, at work, a guy tried to buy me for a dollar. I've only been there a week and it's the third time it's happened. FML
Today, I was waitressing for a huge family. Their bill was $750. Excited about the tip, I was shocked to see only $0.50. As they were leaving, I threw the two whole quarters at their heads. Guess who also got fired today. FML
Today, at my new job, I took some food out to a customer. Walking away, I heard a lady mumble, "Oh my God, you could never pay me enough to wear that." FML
Today, I fistbumped a cashier as they tried to hand me my change. FML
Today, a customer at work became violent and started hitting me and my coworker. Not wanting him to get the shit beat out of us, I used a move that pinned the guy on the ground. The police came and he was arrested. I was then fired for assaulting a customer. FML
Today, at work, I served a rude ass customer and his bratty ass kid, and was forced to swipe her toy debit card so it appeared as if the daughter paid for her snack. In that moment, I questioned my entire existence. Whichever company invented that toy hates cashiers everywhere. FML
Today, I learned the hard way not to keep my own cash in my pocket while working as a cashier, when I was forced to give $30 to a scamming customer. FML
Today, as I was working in retail, this guy shoved me into the shelves for asking if he needed help with anything, screaming at me that I need to leave him alone. FML
Today, I got mugged. I also got an extra kick in the face for not having money in my wallet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Some people just have nothing better to do, so they try to make the lives of others miserable. Morons.

If Iron Man is going to be rude, he should just stay home.

I don't understand how people are bashing retail jobs. I work retail and I love the job.

At least it wasn't a plasma cannon. Could have ended a lot worse.

Because a quarter hurts so badly? Calm down, OP--be thankful you've got a job.

what's the avg minimum wage in the U.S.? in BC, its $10.25
wtfwhyfml 12
7.25$. Sucks to work min wage, or anything close to it in the US. Taken in context of the cost of living in most areas; it's no wonder a lot of us complain. I make 8.05$/hour and barely make bills on any given month. I did my 2 years in retail; it is really not worth it unless you get bitchtastically lucky and score a decent boss and coworkers. Now I work home health care; and my god is it a step up. @@ Pay still sucks; but it's more rewarding.
