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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

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.

Next time make sure you aren't wearing red and khaki when you shop at target.

Why didn't you tell him you don't work there after the first comment? He would have stopped bothering you.

Don't spell like your retarded.... It's comments like that that make me want to throw a dictionary at people that talk like that

I think you meant: It would be better if you went to Target with clothes that don't match their uniforms. Text talk is meant for talking. FML is a little more civilized :P

14- I lost brain cells reading your comment.

16- Yet you misspelled "you're." Pot meet kettle.

Sir, I want to slam your head repeatedly into a wall but it seems someone beat me to it. Causes some significant brain damage by the looks of it.

16- to build on 22's comment, you also overused demonstrative adjectives.

I believe text speak is against the rules anyway. Even if it isn't, if U Typp Lyk Diss, you're gonna be attacked.

At least they said you looked pretty... Some people are blinded by their own sense of entitlement that they actually think they own places like target.... Dipshits

22, first off, I at least spelled a legible word. Second, I use FML from my phone and unfortunately it didn't pick up that typo. So, feel free to point the finger all you want.

He must've felt like an ass when he realized you didn't work there.

I once got mistaken for a Target employee. While wearing a black tank top, black pants and carrying a messenger bag. I was very confused.

That's awkward. Wonder what the manager said when he/she realized that you weren't one of the workers.

Now you know you have the qualifications for the privilege of gainful employment at Target.

Better than some managers I knew while working there.
