Wow, that can't be legal

The customer is always right

The five words to make anybody who's ever worked with any kind of customer cringe.

In reply to #28, I live in Ohio, which has an at-will employment system, so you can be fired for any reason. The system sucks, but it isn't changing anytime soon

At will systems can still get sued for improper termination, especially if the reason is against the law or slander. if someone does a back ground check and sees that a person was fired due to supposed drug addiction, they may not be hired. Therefore, you could sue for.. maybe libel, slander, or defamation of character.

more like the customer is the King Asshole.

The customer is an incompetent asshole that needs a good smack upside the head.

#19 OP said the lady was old.

Read the Fml??

She didn't deserve to have a good day because she stopped to see a baby? What?

I think she means she was busy so she didn't tell the woman to have a nice day so the woman got upset

I think she means the lady didn't want to sit near a noisy baby.

The lady stopped to play with the baby. I didn't know whether to stand there awkwardly to wait to tell her to enjoy her day or just tell her husband to have a good day.

I don't think she has the infection anymore because the way the FML is worded it says "I was actually fighting a staph infection," which is in past tense. It's just the marks from the IV are still there because they probably just recovered from it recently.

last time i had an IV it took over a week for the mark to clear up (even longer if the person putting in the needle is bad at their job lol) so it could be that.

They might not be bad at their job. Sometimes veins just don't cooperate, and it's harder if there's any dehydration or if the veins are roly-poly.

When I had to have blood drawn from the inside of my elbows (is there a word for that?) I had huge bruises and marks for weeks.

that's true #24, that's my bad. i had a student doctor who really was terrible at putting in needles once (the doctor in charge was like ... oh dear) and it bruised so bad so i was thinking of ones like that.

I have track marks from donating blood. There are a plethora of reasons someone may have track marks. Unless the wounds are oozing over the customer, it is none of anyone's business.
