Today, a customer asked if we stocked gluten-free water. Then she got pissed when I laughed at what I thought was her joke. FML

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

Today, while working as a barista, a customer asked me for "gluten free milk". When I told her that most milk is gluten free, she flew into a fit of rage and cussed me out for being a "cheeky bitch". My manager then lectured me about not being "patronising" to customers. FML

Today, at work a customer bitched me out for not explicitly telling her that our peanut butter pancakes contain real peanut butter. She's threatening to sue because she's allergic to peanuts. 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, during a job interview, I was offered a sandwich. I politely declined, explaining that I'm a coeliac and would probably get very sick. He said coeliac disease "isn't real" and that gluten-free eating is just a fad. I had to leave when he kept pushing me to accept it. FML

Today, at work, a customer came in and ordered a "Butterbeer Frappuccino." When I said we serve no such thing, she yelled at me for "lying" to her, saying she knew about our "secret menu." She ended up complaining to my manager and demanded that he fire me. FML

Today, a customer was looking for some decking materials. I took her around the store and pointed out some nice plywood, noting that it's also fire-retardant, which might interest her. She got pissed off and bitched me out for supposedly calling her a retard. FML

Are you OK, hun?
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 punched me in the face for repeating their order back to them because they thought I was making fun of their speech impediment. I have the same speech impediment. FML

She was probably the butt of someone's joke. Now I'm wondering who's the absolute genius who sent her around town in search of the impossible... "And don't come back without it!"

I laughed once when a customer wanted to return a Harry Potter figure her son got for his birthday because "It's evil and we don't DO evil in MY house". Nothing you can do for that level of stupid

My old school banned the whole series because it's a catholic school and one of the priests thought it was bad. It doesn't go against our religion though.

My uber-religious mother never let me read the Harry Potter series because it was witchcraft, and it 'stains your soul'

When I went to a Christian camp, they had the Harry Potter series, and Twilight (I agree with this one lol) banned. They said the "obsession" with them was bordering on violating one of the 10 commandments, worshipping false idols. So they didn't allow them and discouraged even talking about them because it took away from honoring Jesus and God. That, along with the "witch craft" type stuff, is probably where some people get the "evil," pretty ridiculous.

Next time somebody asks, keep a deadpan face , and just say" absolutely , Madam." Grab the first water bottle that's at hand and add : " as you can see on the label, we make sure that the water we sell in our shop is totally gluten-free" and proceed to read the list of ingredients, which , frankly, is rather short for water.

Never laugh at a customer's question. They are that dumb and will get angry.
