Today, my boss fired me for being "too morally ambiguous". I work at a bagel shop and had told a customer that I was indifferent towards cream cheese. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was fired for having a haircut that was 'inappropriate for the workplace'. I have alopecia. My boss told me to stop making up excuses. FML
Today, I overheard my boss stressing out over finding a replacement for me. I didn't know I was leaving. FML
Today, I almost got fired from work because a customer complained that I "threw up gang signs" at him. I was blocking the sun from my eyes. FML
Today, my boss admitted that he seriously regrets hiring me, but can't really do anything about it because that would make the senior management question his judgment, making him look bad. So he's just 'putting up' with me. FML
Today, I was told it was inconvenient for me to take lunch breaks, because someone else has to answer the phones and no one else wants to actually do any work. FML
Today, my company was having a huge party so I went to work dressed in my best outfit. During lunch break, my boss said to me, "You really missed out on something yesterday, it was great fun!" FML
Today, I found out that mishearing my boss and laughing at what I thought he said can make him think I'm high and nearly force me to submit to a drug test. FML
Today, I went to ask my boss for a raise. Turns out they are firing 35 people. I wasn't on the list until I asked for a raise. FML
Today, I took my printer to work because the one in my office is broken. When I tried to leave, my boss stopped me and accused me of stealing it from the office. Nobody would believe me when I explained. Now my boss has a new printer. FML
Today, I went on a blind date at a fancy restaurant. My date was running a bit late, so I went ahead and got a table. I got bored, so I decided to ask my waiter how I looked. He stood there, then said that, "It's against company policy to mock customers to their face." FML

Congrats, you just wasted the first comment slot. Did you seriously think you would be thumbed up?

i really don't envy you, working with customers can be awful. it'd be nicer if your manager would be on your side though...

you work at a bagel shop and are indifferent towards cream cheese. time for a career change OP. Chin up, your boss was a douche anyway.

How dare OP be indifferent toward cream cheese!!!

Probably the same bastard that fired me for stealing. You take 25 different items without paying and all the sudden you're labeled a "thief".

#47. You are a thief if you've taken 20+ items without paying. What else would you be doing?

Donut make the same mistake again, OP!

Not to be a dick but next time if you are in a similar situation, just serve the person and don't give them your opinion.
jessBeAqueen 13
im sure OP didnt randomly tell the customer.
RVAriverRAT88 9
The customer could of asked but if you are in the line of selling or customer service never give your personal opinion if it is negative about your product. I sell cars and I am asked all the time what I think about a certain make or model and you always praise everything.
jessBeAqueen 13
see thats where it differs. OP is honest and your....well a car salesman. enough said.

Saying you're indifferent isn't "negative". It isn't anything - that's why it's indifferent.

I've never worked in food service, but I have done a lot of customer service and I never get why people ask random strangers for their opinion about things. Whether it's curtains or cream cheese, just because someone else does or doesn't like it doesn't mean you will or won't. You can't win either... if you "recommend" something they don't end up liking, they'll just complain anyway.

I've learned over the years that it's best to just answer a stranger's question (providing it's not personal), even if you have to lie about it. Some people get unusually aggressive if you tell them you're indifferent towards something. It's like they take it as a personal offense to you not being interested in the same things they're interested in.

Ignorance gives car sales man a bad rep. If you go to Walmart and buy something and hate it later is it walmarts fault, no. It's the buyers, this also goes to cars, don't blame me if you get buyers remorse after you get your car. Also don't be stupid and buy something you don't want. How does this make me dishonest?

40 - You JUST said in your last comment that you praise everything, whether your actual opinion is negative or not. That's lying. And that is how you're dishonest.
B1ackthesun 31
Well done 40! You've just reinforced every stereotype of a slimy car salesman.

Indifferent towards cream cheese?!?!?! Heathen!

Blasphemy! Indifferent towards cream cheese at a bagel shop?!? In all seriousness I think YDI for not being a better saleswoman. When you work somewhere you act like the shit you sell is the best on Earth, and you freakin love it.
VeganVampyre 27
I agree, but if its a bagel shop then it's the bagels that need to be the best freakin bagels on Earth, and the cream cheese is just an accessory. So I think it's alright to be indifferent to the cream cheese as long as you love the bagels. On a side note, I have never used the word bagel so much. It looks weird now :/

Wow, this has to be one of the worst firing stories I have heard. I thought getting fired for wearing the wrong color red shoes was bad.

How do you feel about lox?

Apparently morals these days are based on food preferences.
VeganVampyre 27
Well, yeah. Obviously if you're indifferent to cream cheese you must have terrible morals. I thought everybody knew that was how it worked now.
