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

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

Totally agree with most people. I work in retail and am always getting dumb questions from customers. They will stand in gardening department and ask where the cds are. Or they stand right next to what they what and ask where it is. Even my boss says it is a running joke and laughs about it.

Do you have any gluten free gluten?

Yes, in aisle 10. Right next to the sugar-free sugar.

Wow, this has seriously gone too far. It's like if people without peanut allergies started asking if their food was made in an environment exposed to nuts. Like why do you care, it doesn't make a difference to your health?!

Really doubt this is true.

I have celiac disease which pretty much means I can't eat gluten, a lot of people have no idea what gluten is and I've been asked if there's gluten in egg and more. This woman probably knows someone who can't eat gluten and therefore has no idea what contains gluten and had to ask. Oh and to everyone hating on people who go on a gluten-free diet, I love it because more people request gluten-free food and therefore they will have more variation!

Gf water? What a load

sounds like most on here don't have a food allergy, you would not believe what is actually mixed into most processed foods in order to make the said food more addictive to the consumer. most "gluten free" products have a ton of extra chemicals to remove the gluten. that being said if you just found out you can't eat this or that you may go overboard being scared.

Water is not a processed food unless it's flavoured
