Today, I was cussed out by a customer who was unhappy, and he asked to speak with my manager. When I told him I owned the store, he said that that was the problem. Apparently women are "too flaky" to run a bakery properly. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my manager cussed me out for being unable to keep a customer happy. That "customer" was a senile old twit who had wandered away from his carer, thought our shop was his living room, and demanded to know who replaced all his furniture. FML
Today, I told a customer the bread he wanted has been discontinued. He replied with, "Are you serious? What is your name? I'm going up front to complain about you." I still don't understand how that's specifically my fault. FML
Today, I was at the bakery I work at. A man came in to pick up a cake he said he ordered, but we could find neither the cake nor the order form. He yelled at me about being 'incompetent' before remembering that he had ordered the cake from a different bakery. 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
Today, my boss came around to my way of thinking. He called our customers a "bunch of assholes" and to kick them out if they gave me trouble. When a lady began yelling at me for "setting the damn prices too high" I told her to leave. My boss soon bitched me out for being unprofessional. 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, a customer was rude to me, and I was rude back. He then asked for my manager, and I told him I was the store manager. He then identified himself as the corporate owner. 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, my boss bitched me out on the sales floor for a good 10 minutes, because I wasn't "smiling the right way" for our customers. FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Man I hate sexist people. At least you can't get fired, though, and you can kick him out :)

But the customer is always right...
bahamut357 16
Except when they're not :/
Nordrag 26
**** that. the customer doesnt know shit.. ever. I hate that ******* phrase.
Bano360 25
That phrase doesn't exist in Ireland. But some customers think it does, so I usually tell them that the customer is 99% of the time . . Completely and utterly wrong.
Pwn17 25
I don't think this customer could have been more wrong. Such a sexist bastard...
\ 28
Whoever invented that phrase has never worked a day in retail.

most businesses reserve the right to refuse service to a customer that is being unreasonable, rude, or in any other way offensive, as deemed by the manager.

What puzzles me is why a sexist thinks a woman is unfit to run a bakery. It's not like she's running an auto shop.
AngelSpit 18
My old boss used to say "The customer is always right but rarely satisfied"
falon142012 22
69, I know several women who own and/or run an auto shop. I also frequently work on cars with my husband. What you know and what you can do has nothing to do with gender.

I'm fairly sure that #69 was simply stating that they found this to be an odd instance of sexism, not that the sexist would be correct if it were an auto shop.
gracehi 33
Thank you, 82. That's exactly what I meant. I'm a female military member who works in aviation maintenance, so I'm perfectly aware of women's capabilities to work jobs that are stereotypically masculine.

69- Your comment sounded a little sexist if you ask me.
gracehi 33
86, See comments 82 and 84.
falon142012 22
You're right, it is a more unusual case of sexism. I was just saying that I don't understand how people can think gender has anything to do with abilities, mental or physical. :-)

#96 - Oh, you're so naïve that it's bringing a tear to my eye.

Soloman212 28
Or maybe OP misunderstood and he was actually just complaining about the product.
ThatFancyPenn 18
Well played indeed.

I've heard of customers being rude, but this asshole takes the cake
SarcasticShade 16
I'm sure OP will rise to the occasion.
HelloooooNurse 20
He's to sour to enjoy some baked goods. Forget him OP, there is always 1 turd in the punch bowl.
karmachameeleon 13
What kind of punch bowls are you drinking from?
HelloooooNurse 20
A metaphorical one good sir.
Sandsh8rk 36
Tell him that he's too stupid to be in your store.
Superstitious 6
Easy as pie
jayceejaco 15
Tell him you don't need his sexism in your store and to get the hell out.
thattumblraddict 12
what a punny guy.
killmenow03 21
Your first problem is that you're from tumblr and on fml. You will always be down voted.
diamond69_fml 14
I bet he got even matter when he found out that you were the owner and because he couldn't get you in trouble.
rocker_chick105 31
He gets matter? And here I am being taught that matter can't be created or destroyed. The things you learn on FML.
Ambient25 25
Either kick him out of the store or tell him you refuse to serve him! What happened to "This establishment reserves the right to refuse service to unruly customers"?
ArmyDoc 11
Sounds like a crummy day.
Warmonger_Smurf 29
No dealing with him was a pice of cake.
mimiminx 23
He really took the biscuit
Alexzandriah 9
I would of kicked him in the balls.
DocBastard 40
Would you of done that? Really? Do you live in an action movie? Or would you HAVE just stood there stupefied like in reality where the rest of us live?
jdeezyjames 8
You killed it..
Soloman212 28
What kind of lame/awesome action movies do you watch, Doc?
StompinOnCrayons 15
What is it with people these days and ball-damaging ? An almost identical comment was on another FML, please ladies, harming balls is not the answer. (Imagine if someone kept saying they would punch you in the boob , not okay guys xD )
