Today, a shopper approached me at Target and said, "So are you just gonna stand there to look pretty and do nothing around here?" I ignored his comment, until he got so upset that he wanted to speak to my manager. It would have been understandable if I actually worked there. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I went to Macy's to go shopping, I was wearing a shirt and tie and dressed nicely. Customers came up to me with questions, but I just ignored them. Minutes later, thinking I was an employee, the manager came and yelled at me, and threatened to fire me. FML
Today, I was shopping at my workplace, out of uniform, with my husband. A customer recognised me and wanted me to serve him, but I couldn't since we can be fired for doing so while off-duty. He complained to my manager, who wasted no time publicly bitching me out. 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, at the store, I didn't hear the cashier when she asked if I had a loyalty card. She took one look at my naturally bitchy-looking face and muttered "It's my JOB to ask, jeez." FML
Today, working in retail, I noticed a customer looking for an item, so I walked up to them and asked, "Is there something I can help you find?" He replied, "Did I ask for your fucking help?" FML
Today, I assisted my first customer at my first job as a Target cashier. When I rang up this lady's items and gave her the total, not only did she hiss at me and spit in my face, but she also dragged my manager over and demanded that he fire me. He did. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, I was shopping in the mall. A cute store worker kept checking me out, so after I picked a few things I went up to her and started flirting. After a few seconds, she cut me off and said, "Actually I was watching you because you look like someone who would shoplift." FML
Today, a customer berated me and told me to stop whining because I have to work on the weekend. What did I do to deserve this? I said, "Hi, how are you doing today?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's more of a HDI, I would've been laughing my ass off at him if I were you, OP, don't take it too seriously.

What? No puns?

I didn't manage to find any, but that wasn't the target anyway. I just wanted to show OP a Lidl sympathy.

She should've told him, "MAN, DON'T TARGET ME!"

Do you live on fml, dude? You comment on everything.
TourettesGuyFTW 26
No he lives IN FML. Who lives ON stuff?! Some people...

38--op means original poster. I have no idea what hdi means.

49 -My mum always told me that if I spent to much time on the computer, I'd get sucked into the screen... HELP... IS ANYONE ELSE IN THIS CYBERSPACE? GET ME OUT OF HERE! FML is a cold and ruthless site. One does not simply walk into FML. Its black gates are guarded by more than just Trolls. There is idiocy there that does not sleep. The great Mods are ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with spam, rage, and sarcasm. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten-thousand men could you do this. It is folly.
lilhellian 27
I don't live in or on FML. I am FML. Bow down. Just kidding it's really easy to comment, and have free time while everyone else is at church.

He deserves it HDI

38: OP: original poster HDI: he deserves it

52 - my new hero, and im hoping you recited that all from memory:p
TourettesGuyFTW 26
Pleo - I'll save you. Actually, if I save you, that means no more puns. On seconds thoughts...stay right there.

I agree with 1. He's the one looking stupid in front of a pretty girl, your just presumably wearing red at target. If not it was a horrible pick up attempt.

77- he obviously didn't recite it, he made it up.

HDI stands for he deserved it, not sure what op is. I always see it in the fml comments though. Cheers

38- original poster and he deserves it! Duh
rebamoo 14
OP = original poster, and HDI = he deserves it

That's awkward. And at least he thinks you're pretty. This isn't really an FML... he sorted of complimented you in a weird and angry way. He was probably just confused. You should've been like, "Dude, I don't work here."
mpsteve137 15
Well at least you know you're pretty :)

Not sure why this bugs you. He's the idiot.

If you wear a red shirt at Target your gunna have a bad time
sioux4 17
I gotta agree, I'm not quite sure why this was voted up on the site to count as an fml
CharresBarkrey 16
Yeah seriously, I could have had some fun with this.
SpicyDuck 22
Because 5, FML isn't restricted to your life being "******" by your choices and mistakes only, but by the idiots around you too.

Next time make sure you aren't wearing red and khaki when you shop at target.
lilhellian 27
But... But it's the latest fashion! Like o my god I'll just die without them!!
alycion 39
That's the only way I will shop there. It's fun to screw with customers. ;)

I would have sent the guy to the wrong side of the store, just to spite him.

I think that's more embarrassing for him than it is for you. You should have waited until the manager came out and then watched what happened. Besides, he said you were standing there and looking pretty - quite the compliment from an angry stranger. ;)
saIty 17
Ignore him so hard until he starts to doubt his own existence.

Dinkleburg! Don't you wear a uniform of some sort, to actually point out you work there? So with this knowledge can either tell; that the shopper is retarded, or OP looked as if he had a target uniform.
rocker_chick105 31
If I had a dollar for every time someone replied "dinkleburg" on salty's comments
Inheritance 10
67 that's always me that comments it. ^^

Dinkleburg are the neighbors that's Timmy's dad hates in Fairy Odd Parents.

Let the manager come. Then you can complain that the other guy is harassing you as if you were an employee ;)
PipingMouse 14
I would have just laughed in his face. It would also be funny if he brought a manager with him just to hear "Who's that? or That person doesn't work here."
