Today, a one-eyed drunken homeless man followed me around the store I work at, screaming at me because I turned down his sexual advances. My managers and coworkers wouldn't kick him out because they thought it was funny. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was working a midnight shift when a guy came in drunk and was trying to get me to come home with him. I said I had a boyfriend. As I said this, my manager, who has no teeth and B.O, said he was my boyfriend. I will never live this down with my co-workers. FML
Today, a crazy homeless guy got angry because I wouldn't sell him a bottle of vodka at half price. He got so irrationally mad, he put his fingers down his throat, and threw up on my checkout counter. FML
Today, I had to decline the sale of alcohol to a man who reeked of booze and was practically falling asleep at my till. He tried to convince me that he wasn't drunk, he was just blind. Still refusing to sell him the beer, he started yelling at me, accusing me of "being racist against the 'blinds'". FML
Today, I was closing at work when someone came in ten minutes before our closing time at 2 a.m. and placed a huge order. I couldn't turn him away because he's my manager from my other job. He was drunk. FML
Today, I was at work as a grocery store cashier. I felt a hand slap my ass. Turning around I saw an old man winking at me and I screamed. When my manager came to deal with the problem she didn't believe me and gave the man a $25 gift card for "the trouble" I caused. FML
Today, a really drunk couple staggered into the store I work at. One of them yelled at me, "Hey you! Kid! Tell us where the booze is at!" This would have been funny if these people weren't my parents. FML
Today, a drunken customer blindsided me after I told him I would not be giving him a free drink after I watched him put his own hair in it. FML
Today, as I was working in retail, this guy shoved me into the shelves for asking if he needed help with anything, screaming at me that I need to leave him alone. FML
Today, while I was on the floor stocking a bottom shelf, a man walked up behind me and humped the back of my head. He ran away laughing. This kind of shit happens all the time. I hate my job. FML
Today, a man tried to rob the store I work at. Before the guy was taken by the cops, he complained to my manager for "unfriendly behavior". He took it seriously and bitched me out for not providing "quality service" to our customers. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Keep an eye out for the guy outside your work, he might be waiting for you. And maybe look into getting another job if that's how your supervisors treat people. Either way, good luck!

Sounds like your managers are just asking to get sued or fired. They deliberately put you in harms way, it is obvious this guy had problems he could be seriously dangerous yet because they wanted a few chuckles they stood back and watched. The guy should have been thrown out of the store straight away and the police should have been called. I feel for ya OP. You should put in a complaint to their bosses I'm sure they would love to hear how your managers let a drunken homeless chase you around the store screaming, not only did it put you at risk but it would have cost the business customers because who's going to go into a store with a drunken lunatic in it.

I can't believe it took 11 comments for someone to say that. This situation is absolutely disgusting and the behavior of OP's managers is nothing short of blatant sexual harassment. They should be fired immediately.

I'm shocked that I haven't seen "sue them" yet.

gracehi- I agree with your statement, however, it wasn't the OP's managers who were sexually harassing her, it was just the one-eyed, drunken hobo that was sexually harassing her. But the managers are certainly not much better than the hobo by just sitting there, letting him harass her, and most likely make several customers uncomfortable, all for a 'good' laugh. I would have definitely talked to their superiors about their unprofessional, uncaring for OP's and the customers' safety, and overall lack of respect for the OP's comfort.

the lack of management skills today are quite ridiculous. seems as if they will hand anyone a supervisor position now a days.

People are promoted when they do well, and not when they do poorly. So, in other words, people are promoted to their level of incompetence, where they settle.

One-eyed man was just looking something to put his one-eyed thingy into.

That's not very professional of your manager you should call your HR and get your manager disciplined for that.

I wonder if OP is from St. Louis because we are having an issue with homeless people. They have nowhere to go so they end up sleeping on streets and peeing where they please. Its not pretty or sanitary

Well he only has one eye. So if he ever tries to chase you, just punch, mace or scratch him in the other. or just run on the side that he doesn't have the eye

Sadly my co workers would of done the same thing:( lol
Mister_Triangle 21
It's either "would've" or " would have". "Would of" makes zero sense
