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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at work, a woman screamed at me and called me a bitch because I refused to refund something we give away for free. FML
Today, at work I was trying to be nice and give a customer a discount because she was having trouble finding money to pay for her food. Everybody behind her then demanded a discount as well. 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, a customer complained he never got his sandwich, even though I put it in the oven, dressed it up and served it to him. When I went to clear his table off, I saw the sandwich basket. We had to give him his money back. FML
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, 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
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, a lady cussed me out for not bringing her salad and pizza to her table. She then wanted her money back. I work at a buffet; a self-serve buffet. FML
Today, while working at a dollar store, I was clobbered by a woman because apparently, I was ripping her off by charging two dollars for two doughnuts. She didn't understand that she couldn't buy multiple items at once for one dollar. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

People really suck sometimes! Your manager should've insisted on a receipt or proof of purchase, instead of taking money from your pay! Sorry OP!

Do you not have cameras for just that situation?

Go to college and you won't have to work in eateries and grocery stores.

Actually, a lot of people work in eateries to put themselves through college. They are also known as "entry level jobs ". They are the first jobs you get to give yourself experience, and a way to work up to a better job.

I go to college, work at an office and work at a restaurant on weekends so that doesn't matter

What if her dream is to open her own bakery? Which doesn't require a degree, though one in business management does help. Regardless she doesn't deserve to get ripped off.

#11, You're joking, right? Many people have jobs like that to pay for college.

well here is someone that either doesn't know how life works or has their parents pay for everything. if you don't get scholarships or grants to pay for college, you know who has to cough up the several thousand dollars? you do, unless your parents pay. how do you pay for those debts? getting a job. going to college doesn't just elude you from having to work in grocery stores and restaurants. these kinds of jobs not only give you work experience but are more willing to accept college students and their flexible schedules. you should pay more attention in school so you learn how these things work.

College or not she doesn't deserve to be cheated. Respect seems to be a misusing value.

I would check with your state's labor laws. I don't think your employer is allowed to dock your pay. In my state they aren't.

That's ok Karma is going to bite her in the butt in the end!

I don't know about the states, but in Canada it is illegal to take money out of an employees pay for such reasons.

The customer is always right. Unless she's an evil lying stealing bitch.

Then she's your mother in law.

You should've asked for a receipt that proves she payed for a sandwich.

Next time write a check and cancel it after she leaves...that seems to be the only way to get around it and maybe get her a taste of her own medicine

A woman tried to pull that crap with my dad, doesn't work with doctors, sorry you had a still born, and no we can't refund your room

Dark. Very, very dark. Love it.

If I were you I would warn all other bakeries and cafés in the area about her. Even if you don't have a photo from a security camera a description should suffice.

I would think that a manager would be called over and a receipt asked for. Since this has happened once, it's bound to happen again. Next time, stand your ground.

Picture this, I'm the woman in the FML (not the OP) I go to the bakery and I order a sandwich and a couple other things. I get my order I leave, I eat and enjoy, take a bit of break, and a couple hours after I've had a chance to get myself energized I go back. I scream at the bakery lady that I never got the sandwich I ordered and she demands to see my receipt. Which I can easily hand over. She can do nothing for me so she calls the manager. Ranting continues. The manager in an effort to both not lose a customer and to get my dumb ass out of his shop agrees to refund me my money by taking it from the employees pay. If you really think about it doesn't that seem about like how it would play out? Especially if their security cameras upload to an off sight system which would require calling in higher level management to get to.

I picture myself leaving and filing a complaint with the labor board because they're making me pay for the sammich.
