Today, I called my workplace to ask if I was going to be working, and if our store would be open. I was told that yes, we're still open, however, I can order inside, but I can’t sit in the dining room. They thought I was a customer. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss phoned me and asked me why I wasn't at work. I was in the staff room. I'd said hello to her as I came in the door. FML
Today, I asked a table at a restaurant if there's anything I could get out of their way and they replied, "Yeah, you." FML
Today, a customer filed a formal complaint with corporate about me, because I wouldn't help her find things she wanted while I was off the clock. We were in a completely different store than the one where I actually work. FML
Today, I was helping a customer when she asked if we were open on Christmas eve. I wasn't sure, so I asked my manager. My manager looked me over and said, "Yes, we will be open. Thank you for volunteering to come in." FML
Today, I ordered enough takeout for 3 people. When the delivery guy smiled and asked, "Family dinner?" I panicked and said, "They're parking." Even though I know that the delivery guy doesn't really give a shit, I stood outside my apartment for 5 minutes pretending to wait for imaginary relatives before going back inside alone. FML
Today, I arrived at work at 8, and business was abnormally slow, but we assumed it would pick up. Few hours later, we had not had a single customer. As I walk out of the restaurant, I realize the open sign has been off all day. FML
Today, I ordered food for delivery. I actually made it sound as if there were other people at home so I had an excuse for ordering so much. I don't think they bought it. FML
Today, I went to a cafe to order some food. The person at the counter was at least 30 cm taller than me, was wearing a mask, and had a quiet voice. I heard him ask, “Takeaway?” so I said no. He repeated the question three more times and I said no every time. Turns out he was asking “Dine in or takeaway?” FML
Today, I was at a local restaurant. When I went to pay my bill, one of the owners jokingly said, "Are you here to apply for a job?" Since I've been unemployed for a while and trying to find work, I said, "What would you like me to do?" She replied, "That was a rhetorical question." I knew it. FML
Today, while I was working in a grocery store, a costumer decide to take a dump on the ground after I told him he couldn’t access to restrooms because my boss closed them due to COVID restrictions. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Man if only, ONLY, you could have added ONE more sentence to your call and said "No I work there, could I ask for my schedule?", this entire FML wouldn't be here! Thank goodness for all our sake's you didn't so we can have this fantastic content!! /s

Ehh I’d rather have crappy content than no content. Not all FML’s are gonna be “oh no I almost died and my husband left me” kind of stuff. A lot is mild.

I suppose? But for it to be FML when you call in and someone doesn't know who you are? I don't understand how his daily life was put out of the way past another 10 seconds of explaining who he was. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the point of this FML is NOT that they wasted 10 seconds of their life. the point is that whoever answered the phone didn't recognize OP over the phone, despite being coworkers. I'd feel pretty frustrated if my boss did this to me, especially if I've been working there for a while

Gees, sorry for that but it was probably just an honest mistake. Many people are asking a lot of questions right now and you most likely were not the first to inquire. However...as a company they should have told all the employees what their plan is to proceed as a collected unit in this pandemic.

Sounds like your coworker needs a break
