Today, I was at a gas station when the cash register made a sound effect similar to one from Sonic the Hedgehog, and I pointed this out. The cashier then saw fit to go on a rant about how I need to stop focusing on video games, and get a life and a girlfriend. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at a supermarket self-checkout, I loudly complained to the machine, “Why won’t you scan, you useless idiot?” An employee walked up behind me and said, “You need to press ‘Start.’” 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, my girlfriend asked me if she looked fat in her new pair of jeans. Knowing I was probably about two seconds away from all hell breaking loose, I instinctively tried to save my game, before remembering I wasn't playing a video game. I really need to get a life. FML
Today, I was using self-checkout at the grocery store, and the machine flipped out and started randomly announcing, "Please wait for assistance." No one came to help, but the machine just kept loudly repeating it until everyone stared at me like I was trying to steal grapes. FML
Today, while in line at the grocery store, I was going over the witty but caustic things I wish I'd said in an argument earlier. Turns out, I was saying them out loud. The cashier gave me a weird look and said, “Are you okay, ma'am?” FML
Today, I realized I might lose my job because some asshole customer complained about me to my district manager. His complaint? Girls can't work at video game stores. My DM agreed. FML
Today, I was at work handling the cash register. It wasn't working correctly, so I apologized to the woman I was waiting on for the delay and explained, "The cash register's being a little retarded today." Then I noticed her clearly "special" adult son standing behind her. FML
Today, at a busy register, I greeted a customer, started scanning items, and only halfway through realized they were on their phone with earbuds in and had not actually been talking to me. I got flustered, scanned the same item twice, and had to call over a manager while the line behind them got longer. FML
Today, a customer got angry with me, because store policy says we can't accept returns of unsealed video games unless there's actual damage to the disc. The guy got enraged and started yelling about how I'm a "useless fuckwhistle". I almost got written up for laughing so hard at the insult. FML
Today, I went to the grocery store where this really cute guy works. I swiped my card but the machine wouldn't read it. I swiped it quickly some more before getting frustrated and saying, "Your stupid machine doesn't work!" He took the card and turned it around. His face said it all. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't take that kind of advice from a cashier at a gas station.

Sonic can be a touchy subject...

Wow, I would have asked to see the manager and told him what that little punk had said, following up with, " I was simply making friendlt conversation, but that level of hostility just lost you a customer permenently. I will definately be letting my friends know about how rude this cashier is as well." As someone who works in retail, you judge people who rub you the wrong way in your head. On the outside, you keep smiling and help them quickly so they leave. You DON'T act rudely towards them - not if you want to keep your job. Teach that snot a lesson, OP!

Working in retail sucks. I tend to partially agree with you. He was out of line I guess. Could he have been joking? Maybe.

I agree with you #12, you're right

Tell that cashier to mind their own business, then ask if they are at the top of their career yet.

We have a gas station that does that too. I think the person that designed that is awesome.

Except you can't have sex with sonic... And I don't think it would be socially acceptable to marry him either

^ You don't have to have sex with a video character to enjoy it. It's just that video games are better than being in a relationship. :]

Can't remember the last time a video game lied, cheated, stole from, or disrespected me.

Bahaha! Isn't that dog-gone truth?!

Seriously, every time I do a walk on match(random players), there's always this 12year old that cursing and trying to assert his dominance. What makes me laugh is that the voice is high pitched (like Veigar in LoL) and my team just spawn camp him until he Rage quits.

They don't make gas station cashiers like they used to.

Wait, where was this? I think I've been to the same gas station. :o My BF and I both smiled at it; he even commented on how his best friend would probably enjoy hearing about it. (Also, we both live in California.) FYL for having to deal with that cashier.

And working at a gas station is better than getting a life and a girlfriend. Smh people these days.

Was it a Quick Chek? I know the one by me has that.
