Today, I went to a corner store to restock my chocolate stash. A guy from work walked in to see me and the cashier arguing about the amount of candy I was trying to buy with a jar of pennies. He took one look at me and said, "That time of the month, eh?" FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I went to the store to pick up some feminine products. As I was paying, the male cashier looked at me sympathetically and asked if it was my girlfriend's time of the month. I'm a girl and was buying them for myself. FML
Today, at my store, I had an old man violently accuse me of charging him for an extra pack of 99¢ Mounds candy yesterday. He held up my line for 10 minutes, fighting me about it. I didn't even work yesterday. FML
Today, I went to my local Walmart to grab a few groceries, and while at the checkout line I grabbed two chocolate bars for a snack. The cashier gave me a look and mumbled under her breath, "Surprise, surprise." I'm pregnant, asshole. FML
Today, while at my job in a candy store, a boy stuck his hand into the bin, contaminating the candy. As I politely explained that the dad had to purchase the affected candy he refused, yelled, then angrily agreed to buy them. The total cost of the candy with the extra pieces? $1.69. FML
Today, my husband had a temper tantrum because I wouldn't get him a chocolate bar at the store register. FML
Today, I went grocery shopping. Being a bartender, I had a huge wad of dollar bills from cash tips. As I was counting them at the register, I looked at the cashier and joked, "You probably think I'm a stripper or something." He looked me up and down and said, "Uh... hell no." FML
Today, while in the store with my kids, they wanted to buy tampons because I am "getting cranky, and it should be that time of the month." 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, I had to sit patiently at the checkout at work, listening to my own father rant about how the twinkies he was buying were "twice the size back in my day", and how "you could buy a dozen of these suckers for just 10 cents." He didn't stop there. No, he tried to haggle over the price. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

A jar of pennies? If I was the cashier I'd want to kill you. Of course if it was that time of the month, I see your desperation.

rolls of pennies would have been a help for the cashier...and the worker with that comment is just down right rude...

A moment's thought should demonstrate that a business doesn't have to take any form of payment it doesn't want to take, including large quantities of coins. Think about this question from the opposite direction for a moment: How many times have you walked into a business and seen posted at the register "NO BILLS LARGER THAN $20"? That's legal, so refusing a jar full of pennies should be legal, too.

That's different. Those signs are there because if bigger bills are used, the register may not have enough change left in them.

I don't know if this point has been brought up and I'm not about to look through 169 comments to see if it has been, but you know that you can exchange pennies for bills at the bank, right?

If it was evening though, the bank was most likely closed. OP needed their chocolate ASAP!

I personally think it's rude to go buy items all in pennies. Go wrap them up at a bank and get some bills, or use one of those coin machines. YDI.

Go to a bank or a money exchange to change the coins into dollar bills? I am sure you wouldn't like counting the coins!

Thank god most big countries like Australia and Canada have phased out the pennies. I would have killed you! (please note kill is a general term not literal to avoid a whole substring)
