Today, I'm a college student working at Dollar Tree. The signs hanging every 10 ft, plastered on every box, every wall, every corner, say "Everything's $1." Someone asked me how much something was, because there was no price tag. This happens multiple times a day. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I work at a craft store. One of the things we sell are wooden numbers. If I had a dollar for every time a random kid took all the 6's and 7's and lined them up across the floor, forcing me to stop what I'm doing in order to go put them back, I'd probably have more than $67. It's an almost daily occurrence. FML
Today, I work at a general store and a customer came in trying to bargain a set price of an item. The item? A 50 cent candy bar. He wanted it for 34 cents. This is not the first time he's done this. FML
Today, at work, a guy tried to buy me for a dollar. I've only been there a week and it's the third time it's happened. FML
Today, my workplace was having a "prices are down" promotion. I had to wear a badge that said, "Down and staying down" all day, opening myself up to a lot of weirdos winking at me or saying, "Oh yeah, I bet you are". FML
Today, my boss is beginning to hate me. Why? Because people keep coming to my register with one or two dollars worth of stuff, then paying for it with hundred dollar bills, ignoring the sign saying not to do that. I’ve had to ask him to refill my till after every transaction. FML
Today, a lady came into my workplace to pay her $120 bill in one dollar bills. I kept losing count. FML
Today, my mom tried to get me to shoplift. From the dollar store. FML
Today, at my retail job, a woman came to my till with her purchases. After I scanned all her items, she handed me two small bags. One was filled with nickels and dimes. The other was filled with cents. Her total was $28.53. The coins amounted to $22.30. FML
Today, I was giving a tour on campus when one of my friends approached us and said, "Don't go here, the weed's too expensive." and walked away. Thinking he was coming back to say he's joking, he instead says, "Just kidding, it's really cheap." and walked off. I may or may not still have a job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think you need to hang more "Everything's $1" signs.

That's a terrible idea. That means people will get slapped in the face by "everything's $1" signs on their way to ask how much something costs.

No, I think dollar tree should play on its speakers someone saying "one dolla" on repeat.

#14 Op just need to put a sign in front of him/her, if anyone want to bother op, he will see the sign before asking. Or op can point to the sign and ask politely, 'can you read ?'

True. I used to work in a store where the public washroom and the customer service desk were both right next to the entrance, and people would come in, walk right past the washroom door and the big sign hanging above it, and ask at the service desk where the washroom was. This usually happened at least 2-3 times in a 6 hour shift, every day. People just don't bother looking around at all.

Ask management for a teeshirt for you to wear saying, "Yes everything in the store is a $1." :)

16 - It should have the word "Idiots..." written in fine print somewhere on the back.

Given the society we live in, people will only see the fine print, and get terribly offended. Then, when they go to buy a legal pad to write a letter to their lawyers, guess what they're going to ask the cashier?

I work at a store where every week we choose a color to be 1/2 off. There are signs seriously EVERYWHERE and yet I get asked about 20 times a day, "what's the color today?" We even announce it every five mins!! Retail sucks

Patience is a virtue my friend. If you can stand this you can stand anything :)
