Today, while at work, a customer, who was also on his phone, rudely asked what kinds of bread we had for his sandwich. After I told him we had many different kinds to offer, he cut me off, told me to stop playing stupid, and stormed out after holding up a long line of people. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I walked into a store to buy a type of bread I like. The stuff was sold out, so I asked an employee when they'll be restocking it. The employee yelled at me, because, "They do have that bread," walks to the isle, and then when she saw that they really were out of the bread, she walked off. FML
Today, I told a customer the bread he wanted has been discontinued. He replied with, "Are you serious? What is your name? I'm going up front to complain about you." I still don't understand how that's specifically my fault. FML
Today, while working at a sandwich shop, we had a shortage and could only put so many veggies on one sandwich. I explained this to one man who was grumpy about it, but kept on ordering. I thought everything went well. He thought my face was a good target to launch his completed sandwich at. FML
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, as I was working at a bakery, a woman stormed in, cut in front of the line, and began yelling at me. She claimed I didn't give her a sandwich earlier and demanded a refund. She got the refund out of my paycheck, and as she was leaving she muttered, "Ha, works every time." FML
Today, while at work, a customer refused to speak louder, despite me asking her to do it several times. As a result, I took her order incorrectly. The customer then finally decided to raise her voice, but only to yell at me about my poor listening skills. 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 was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, I was cussed out by a customer who was unhappy, and he asked to speak with my manager. When I told him I owned the store, he said that that was the problem. Apparently women are "too flaky" to run a bakery properly. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Stupid is as stupid does, OP. He obviously hasn't been taught manners

Sounds more like he was just bored and trolling you. Then again, human stupidity has surprised me in the past.

I know a website for this situation. Try Not Always Right, I'd love to see that story.

What a jerk!

He probably thought he was done talking. He asked what kind of bread that was sold there and many isn't really an answer.

Just because someone else is rude doesn't give the right to be rude back.

To be fair, when they ask what breads you have and you just say "many" it's not very helpful

Pay special attention to the phrase, "…he cut me off…"

I have that often at the sandwich place I work at. My revenge is to give them the rubbish, hard bit of bread. You should try it as it is very satisfying.

The guy might have had a bad day, maybe he didn't mean to be rude he was just annoyed by what was going on in his life. Then he asks OP what kind of bread they have and OP gives a vague answer by saying "We have many different types" which doesn't help at all. He might just felt like "**** it" at that point. Remember there are always 2 parts of a story.

He also could have said 'stop playing stupid' to the person on the phone and OP took it personally. I think it's rude to be on the phone while ordering, but it might have been a serious conversation and the dude was starving..

It'd be nice if there was an enforceable store policy where you could tell a customer on their phone that they have to go to the back of the line if they don't put it down as soon as it's their turn. There is absolutely nothing anyone could say that could you could possibly not wait a half minute for you to give your order and let the next person in line move up.

Some stores over here have those. They have those signs saying "If you don't pay attention to us, we don't pay attention to you" sort of signs... And they *will* enforce it.
