Today, I was at work when a customer, who was going to pay for her groceries, started sorting through her money. She put some coins in her mouth, seemed to suck on them for a while, and then gave them to me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at my retail job, a woman came to my till with her purchases. After I scanned all her items, she handed me two small bags. One was filled with nickels and dimes. The other was filled with cents. Her total was $28.53. The coins amounted to $22.30. FML
Today, I rang up a customer’s items. The total came out to $24.67. She handed me a bag full of coins and looked at me expectantly. I asked if she had any other payment methods; she got irritated and said ,“If I did, I wouldn’t have given you this, stupid!” I had to count them. She was still 6 dollars short. FML
Today, a lady came into my workplace to pay her $120 bill in one dollar bills. I kept losing count. FML
Today, I felt like doing a good deed, so when I bought something at a store I told the cashier to keep the change. The cashier then panicked and said, “What do I do???” Turns out, I was her first ever customer. FML
Today, while working as a receptionist at a health clinic a woman came to settle her account. Before she left, she held out her closed palm and asked if I could put something in the bin for her. I held out my hand and watched many bits of chewed fingernails land in my palm. FML
Today, I was shopping at the grocery market and was next in line. Behind me was a woman who only had two items, so I nicely let her in front of me, as it looked like she was in a hurry. When she was all rung up, she decided to pay her $16.45 in loose change which needed to be counted out. FML
Today, at work, an old lady came through my line to buy some groceries. She told me she lost her purse and was a little short. It was busy, so I pulled out my little purse and gave her the money she needed. A few minutes later she returned with my boss, insisting that my purse was hers. FML
Today, I was running the register at my work and this big lady pulls her wad of cash out of her bra and hands it to me. The bills she handed me were moist. FML
Today, I was cashiering, and a customer's change came to $5.51. She looked pretty stinking rich, so I just gave her $5.50. She demanded the extra penny, and I asked if she really needed it. She said, "No, but they do, asshole," and dropped her $5.51 in the charity donation box. FML
Today, while I was working the drive-thru window, a customer sneezed into his hand and then handed me his money. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Those coins have been far worse places, trust me. As a cashier myself, I just go with the assumption that all the money is absolutely disgusting, so just don't touch your face and wash your hands after your shift

This incident should just give you motivation to move out of the retail business. I worked a couple of years in retail and certainly did NOT enjoy it.

She could have some addiction to the taste of the coins. Like those people on ' My Strange Addiction ' .

Australia must have free healthcare...or have severely contaminated drinking water.

Maybe she got confused which type of currency has the cocaine on it..

Ah! Sorry! I meant to thumb up you. I can't believe someone else knows that dollar bills have traces of cocaine on them. Or maybe everyone knows this and I'm just living under a rock...

Haha it's all good. But yes, I think it's a fact lots of people know about..

So get this: I posted this FML, I actually forgot to choose a category, and the next thing I know it's on FML, under my name, but with the work category, Australia as my home country (which it is not), and on my account it says none of my FML's have been posted. Wut?

1. It's probably not counted under yours because you weren't logged in at the time you submitted your FML story 2. Your category might have gotten picked for you by the mods 3. Are you sure you're not in Australia? Congrats on getting published! Hope you washed your hands :)
