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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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

He could have been raised by his father. Also, not all mothers cook for their children. In my household, it was always my dad cooking.

Tell him to get his buns out of your store.

What a punk! I hope you kicked him out. But seriously who gets upset when baked goods are around?!

Exactly! it's sacrilegious

Especially when there are likely some dessert pastries around. Why get angry when you could eat dessert pastries?

Brides to be. The only people I know who can be terribly unhappy while surrounded by yummy food, friends, family, gifts, and the love of their lives. I've seen so many brides freak out about cake for the tiniest reasons.

It'd probably be best to use a varnished baguette. It's the baker's version of a nightstick.

This used to happen all the time at my old job. Some guy even came across the counter and got into my bosses face just because she's a women running a business. He even went so far as to ask if her husband was around so that he could talk to him. OP stupid people are rampant among us!

These comments are making me hungry. I think I will need to stop by OP's store. I'll bring the "We refuse to serve sexist pigs here" sign.

Will she still serve regular pigs? Wilbur has been wanting to stuff himself silly since charlotte passed.

Wow. I think he's the kind who is very insecure in his manhood
