Today, a customer wanted corporate's number because we aren't allowed to sell pies after midnight. After a drug-fuelled cuss-storm, she punched me in the face through the open window, then peeled out of drive-thru like a bat out of hell. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got threatened with a gun through the drive thru speaker because I didn't offer some guy any pies to go with his meal. FML
Today, while working the drive-thru at work, an older woman asked for my phone number to give to her single son. After I politely declined, she called me a slut and threw her food at me through the window before promptly speeding off. FML
Today, my mom was "that" customer at the local drive-thru. She slipped into attention whore mode and bitched the guy out for not giving us extra fries. He said she didn't ask for any, which was true. Instead of apologizing, she swore at him and floored the gas, sending our drinks spilling all over me. FML
Today, a customer yelled at me so furiously that she sprayed my face with spittle. I had to stand there, smiling and politely explaining that I needed to see a receipt before I could give her a refund. When she finally gave up and left, my boss bitched me out for "provoking the customer". FML
Today, I told a customer at the drive-thru I couldn't hear him as he had his music blaring too loud. The customer then drove to the window and verbally abused me for listening to my iPod at work. My "iPod" is the headset we use to take orders at the drive-thru. FML
Today, a drive-thru customer ordered a deal that includes fries and a drink with the sandwich. When I gave it to her, she screamed at me because she "didn't order fries." When I brought up that the deal includes them, she told me I should have "figured it out," called me a "fugly fat slob," and sped off. FML
Today, a customer threatened to smash my face in because I wouldn't give him a veteran's discount on a donut. He looked like he'd eaten his way out of fat camp, and it seemed the only action he'd seen was fighting his way into a lard factory. Still, he swung fast, and I now have a black eye. FML
Today, my boyfriend came to my work, at a drive thru, in my car, and then got mad at me because I wouldn't give him free food. In his anger, he put my car in reverse and backed out of line very quickly, only to smash into a paying customer. FML
Today, while delivering pizza, a customer got mad at me and accused me of not having a GPS, then cussed me out and hung up. The address he gave me was a parking lot with 6 cars, none of which were his. FML
Today, working in a liquor store, I had to tell a girl I couldn't sell her alcohol since she was severely intoxicated. She told me to "cash me ousside, how bow dat?" then smashed a bottle of wine and left. FML

Why in the world can't you sell pie after midnight? And I hope you got the license plate or the cameras did!

I think it's high time your company changed that policy.

Okay guys the fact that OP wasn't able to sell a pie doesn't give the woman permission to hit

I'd have called the police and had her arrested and filed charges against her. Drug fueled rage or not, that's unacceptable. I'd have also given her corporate's number and let her explain to them why it was a"valid reason" to punch you in the face for following their rules. They (corporate) could help aid you in the lawsuit, if not file one on your behalf or help with legal aspect in some way.

Hey OP, I used to work in the food industry too, and it attracts all kinds of crazies! Best you can do is keep looking for a new job, and have a plan to move onto better things :-)

since when aren't you aloud to sell pies after midnight? and it's a possibility she was on her period and just wanted some damn pie.

Is the period really relevant? Being cranky isn't a good excuse to clock someone in the jaw.

These must be some tasty pies you have! Or inebriated customers. Still, one apple-cinnamon please, I'll be right there. Or maybe later. Extra cinnamon! Or there will be trouble!
