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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at work, a woman demanded a refund for a video game. She had no receipt, so due to company policy, I couldn't refund her. She reacted by loudly accusing me of being racist, then yelled that she'd see me in court as she finally stormed out. FML
Today, at work, I refused a customer a refund because there was nothing wrong with the item, and she didn't have the packaging. I then watched as she and her son rummaged through a public bin for the packaging. When I refused her again, she called me a "fucking idiot". FML
Today, I told a customer that we don't do refunds. He responded by throwing his wallet at my face and accusing me of stealing it. 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 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, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. FML
Today, I handed a written complaint to a shop manager about an employee who had used foul language to my teenage daughter. I then watched as he took the complaint to the employee in question, they read it together, laughed, then the manager tore it in half and threw it in the bin. FML
Today, I got written up at work for making a customer feel bad. I made him feel bad by laughing uncontrollably at him when he asked if we sold real light sabers. FML
Today, when I told a gentleman that, no, he couldn't have cash back on his return without a receipt, he started screaming at me that I was calling his mother a liar. He told me to lawyer up and yelled at me for smiling at him. He also screamed at me to go on a diet as he left the store. FML
Today, I had a formal complaint filed against me for being outrageously rude to a customer. All I did was tell a customer that she couldn't use food stamps at the movie theater. FML

I'm wondering how a fuckwhistle could ever be useful?!

I had that exact problem when I worked fast food. We had a store policy that said any extra sauces a customer wanted much be charged at 25 cents each, no exceptions. We even had signs glued to the front of the registers. We would still end up with the angry customers accusing us of making it up to put the quarters in our own pockets. Because I'm TOTALLY going to get rich off of 25 cents. I understand your pain, OP.

"Well you, sir, are a bitchchair." Oh man, think of all the potential insults you can make by slapping together swearwords with random nouns. The possibilities are endless!

Tell him to trade it in at CEX or Game Stop. He won't get as much for it, but it's something...

One time I just bought a video game, opened it and realized it wouldn't work for my ps4. 1 hour after I bought it I tried to return it but the ps4 version wasn't there. I was really bummed, but I didn't scream at the cashier, I just sadly left like a decent human being would. And I didn't say "Umm... can I talk to your manager" because I knew the manager would tell me the same thing because that is what a cashier does, they tell us what the manager tells them to say. I am so sorry for that person, but thank you for tolerating it. You have to put up with more rude people than most jobs and you get payed less. You are a hero to society!
