Today, while serving two middle-aged women at the coffee shop, I was screamed at and accused of being a "sexist and chauvinistic bastard." This was prompted by me charging one of them 40 cents for the addition of steamed milk, which is clearly stated on the price sheet. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, two women came into my place of work, complaining loudly that they couldn't afford a £3 course fee because they didn't have any money to spend on themselves. They were holding large Starbucks coffees. FML
Today, while working as a barista, a customer asked me for "gluten free milk". When I told her that most milk is gluten free, she flew into a fit of rage and cussed me out for being a "cheeky bitch". My manager then lectured me about not being "patronising" to customers. FML
Today, while checking out a couple at work, I handed them their receipt and wished them a good day. The woman promptly pulled her husband to the side, and whispered to him about how much of a "fucking idiot" I was for making the prices so high. I work at McDonald's. FML
Today, while working at a dollar store, I was clobbered by a woman because apparently, I was ripping her off by charging two dollars for two doughnuts. She didn't understand that she couldn't buy multiple items at once for one dollar. FML
Today, while at my job, a couple became angry with me because I charged them for an extra ranch they'd ordered, as I'm supposed to. When I explained how it says in the menu how any additional sauces are an extra charge, she said nastily, "That's okay, we'll just take it out of your tip". FML
Today, at the café I work at, I was yelled at by a woman because the drinks and food she ordered were "taking too long". Before I had the chance to get a word in, she stormed out and said she would never come back. I didn't get the chance to inform her that she hadn't ordered yet. FML
Today, a customer yelled and cursed at me, splashing spittle in my face, and to top it all off she wished “my mom would die in a fire.” All this because I accidentally spilled her milkshake all over her Louis Vuitton handbag. Apparently, it “costs more than my rent.” FML
Today, at work, a woman screamed at me and called me a bitch because I refused to refund something we give away for free. 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, I was called a fascist and accused of being "racist" against poor people, all because some crazy meth-mouthed bitch couldn't afford some booze and expected me to cut the price by almost 40% so she could. FML

Those words, they do not mean what they think they mean.

I am guessing they didn't leave a dairy good tip?

Did you steam their milk nice and creamy at least?

You sexist and chauvinistic bastard, how could you do that to them? They can't live without forty cents.

@ #8 - And then the next person would expect the same and so forth. OP, you should have stated that it is posted on the menu and they are no different than any other customer, right before you spit in their overpriced designer drink and said "oops, my bad".

Why did they let that through? My phone died and I just checked.. Sorry guys!! I was going to say anyone ever see that YouTube chauvinist video "and that's how you treat a f*#%ing bitch"

Just explain to them with condescending politeness that fancy math like that is too difficult for the ladies. You're going to be stiffed for the tip, so you might as well go out with a bang, not a whimper.

If you want to see real sexism and gender chauvinism at work in the barista service business check out what coffee shops near universities in New Zealand are doing. They charge male customers an extra $0.70 to $1 over the cost of the beverage simply for being male. Some female baristas are jokingly calling it the "dick tax." Not because the men act like it, but simply because they have one. Started as a protest to increase employed women's wages... Which is odd as they weren't charging male CEOs or overpaid Execs for it, they were charging male students who can barely afford anything. It caught on and now other coffee places in other countries do it, not as protest, but out of misandry and money-mongering. Somehow, I don't see people catching on to the idea of a "**** tax"... But for the OP's case... There should be one.

34 - I don't think I can post links but Google "New Zealand Activists Charge Men More for Their Morning Cup of Coffee" and look for the Jezebel article. That was the original protest in New Zealand. A worthwhile protest conducted by the YWCA on an university campus with just one cart. The idea, however, has spread. 'Low-key' coffee places have started picking up the idea. I've heard and encountered so far 4 coffee shops in Portland, 2 on Auckland, 2 in New York, 6 in Vancouver and 3 in Calgary and it's catching on. One coffee shop I go to has the prices posted right in the store, separate for women and men. As you can imagine, the place is regularly the home of militant Feminists, 'White Knight' men, and Hipsters.

A dick tax?? If that's true...I would sue the shit outta of this place, what the hell happened to society? When people justify sexism by sexism...these so-called women are not even feminists but misandrists. Do these morons realize that by doing so, they are not helping women rights at all? They are hurting their own cause? Oh man, I wish I could stumble on any of these places, I would tear it apart if I go to jail

I always hated when the sex card was pulled just because you have to give an answer they dont like, men or women.... It's just desperate.
