Today, a customer at the Walmart I work at had a hissy fit and began throwing merchandise everywhere, including at my face, because we are Canadian and don't have a show called "Extreme Couponing" for "devoted shoppers" like her. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, a customer became irrationally angry and called me a "stupid bitch", all because she couldn't use the coupon clearly marked "30% off grocery items" on a prescription from our pharmacy. FML

Today, I got bitched out by some lady in a Walmart because I looked at her funny while she was on the phone, loudly bragging about "slapping the shit out of" her kids. FML
I hate this job
Today, at work, a customer threatened to punch me in the face because the store I work at doesn't have shopping baskets, only carts. 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, at Walmart, a woman kept screaming at her husband for the most ridiculous reasons. My friend snickered that she must be on her period, prompting her to whirl around, storm over, and slap the hell out of me, thinking I was the one who said it. FML
Today, I was shopping at Walmart, when I saw a really good deal on some bacon. Before I could take any, a huge-ass woman stormed over, kicked my cart down the aisle, and snatched every single packet for herself. And I actually got upset over this. FML
Today, being near-broke, I resorted to shopping at Walmart. Barely ten minutes in, an obese sack of lard posing as a human being shoved me away from the bacon I was looking at. I fell, busted my lip, then got screamed at by another woman for not watching where I was going. FML
Today, a customer yelled at me so furiously that she sprayed my face with spittle. I had to stand there, smiling and politely explaining that I needed to see a receipt before I could give her a refund. When she finally gave up and left, my boss bitched me out for "provoking the customer". FML
Customers from hell
Today, I reduced a customer to tears and she had a tantrum, saying that nobody loves her, her life is a joke, and she’d be better off dead. This ordeal happened to grab the attention of my manager who was nearby. All I did was tell her that an item she wanted was sold out and offered to help her order it online. FML
Today, I had to stand next to my wife at the supermarket, beet-red and pretending not to exist; about half an hour into our shopping, she completely lost her shit at the advertising on the loudspeaker, turned to another patron, and screamed into his face to shut the fuck up. FML

Did you tell her to grab her shit and get out?

She's already at Walmart. Can't really get any cheaper than that.

Give her some coupons and some Canadian Bacon. That'll do it.

Can the coupons be for more bacon?! That would be THE BEST DAY EVER! ...well, ya know...besides a free lifetime supply of bacon..
Harpy20 24
Bacon-wrapped...bacon. *drool*

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

NO BITCH! I shall not.

ONLY IF YOU'RE WILLING TO SHARE THE BACON!

bacon wrapped bacon inside a bacon burger fried in bacon grease with bacon buns!

The wonderful characters you meet at walmart...
onlychildFTW 34
You'd think Walmart would be cheap enough already. That show about couponing is just people with wayyyyyyyy to much time and they are wayyyyyyy to cheap. All these new reality shows are ******* SHIT!!! What happened to good TV? And why the **** do people watch that shit to give it ratings?
desireev 18
Only in America... FYL, OP.

Read the location, this is from Canada...

In her defense, it could be deduced that the customer is an American visiting a Canadian Walmart, upset that they don't have the same shows as America
SoylentCandycorn 10
If that's the case, that's not a defence. It means she's an ignorant moron who seems to think she is entitled to whatever she feels like and watches too much brain rotting television shows for her own good. People like her are the reason American tourists have such a bad name.
zingline89 18
I was saying in 15's defense, not the customer's. 15's comment was pretty dumb but I thought I'd point out it may have a shred of validity
onlychildFTW 34
I will assume the customer was American from what she said and how it was phrased. Only Americans in Canada. Reminds me of funny tweets after Obama won saying how to get away from "obamacare" they would move to Canada. Haha dumbasses. We have socialized healthcare. And it is a lot more socialized then you guys will ever get in 4 years.
Harpy20 24
29-I saw a lot of right-wingers complaining about healthcare and how they were going to run to Canada. I seriously, wanted to flip tables at the failed logic. "America just elected a liberal president! Omg! I'm running to an even more liberal country!" Derp.
onlychildFTW 34
The funny thing is, your most liberal candidate is less liberal then our least liberal candidate. Our Conservative party is more liberal then your democrats. And besides, if you have logic to run to candy for that reason, Canada DOESN'T want you.
onlychildFTW 34
Awwe, I meant Canada, not candy. I just saw that. :(
Harpy20 24
38-another reason why I wish I was Canadian-born...
onlychildFTW 34
If you guys had a party as liberal as our NDP the general population would be screaming COMMUNISTS!!!
Harpy20 24
42-subliminal relating of Canada to candy? You sly dog, you...
Harpy20 24
46- I believe you! They're already yelling socialism/communism [they seem to think the two are interchangeable] now! It's sad really. If the population gets any dumber I may just tell my husband to meet me in Montreal if he wants kids.
onlychildFTW 34
Communism and socialism are very different. I must say the USA, as a whole, is pretty anti-anything for helping the average middle class person. Healthcare is a big example of that. My grandfather sawed his thumb off in Texas. If he didn't pass a credit check it wouldn't have been reattached. $26,000 later he has a thumb. Luckily he had insurance from Canada for traveling and he got it all back when he filed a claim. But if he hasn't passed the credit check he would be missing a thumb. Where in Canada a homeless person can get medical care at a hospital. It's just shocking since people are always going on about how America is so "great." But then again, America was founded on a revolution.
Harpy20 24
Only the savvy see that, however they cut education so much that these simple points are incredibly hard to argue in terms that the simpleminded populous can understand.
desireev 18
Only in America do we have such shows to promote idiocy like that. Once again, people completely running with a comment. I'm glad that someone understood that.
jarockstar27 10
Well she is technically right, canada is apart the North American continent so she shouldn't be getting so much hate. Now if she was saying "only in the USA" then she would look a little silly so in essence lay off people

55- Yeah I think my teacher told me that they only spend $ 100 on education out of $100,000,000. I'm not sure about my numbers, but he said something like that.........

19- You just described your typical American Walmart shopper.

American hospitals can't deny you emergency care because you can't pay for it. They treat you then hound you for the bill later. If they can't get the money from you they make up the difference by charging other people more. That's why they passed the individual health care mandate, because the logic is that if everybody bought health insurance that the cost of healthcare will go down. The logic is flawed though because many people will still refuse to buy health insurance, preferring to pay the tax penalty. Other mandates in Obamacare will also make healthcare costs rise, canceling out or outweighing any decreases in healthcare costs the mandate would cause. It's a really shitty piece of legislation, in my opinion, that will do little to no good, except perhaps making health insurance available to those with preexisting conditions--its only redeeming feature. I've never heard of an American hospital refusing to reattach a severed body part because of a patient's inability to pay the bill. I doubt they would have denied your grandfather the surgery if he had failed the credit check, but were just making sure they'd get paid if they could. I agree with you, though, that Americans who hope to escape the increasing liberalism in the US government by moving to Canada are woefully ignorant. Yet I think many non-Americans misunderstand Americans' skepticism of universal healthcare and other left wing agendas that seek to care for the less fortunate. It's not that we don't care about people who genuinely need help. We just want to be as independent from government as possible in order to help prevent the possible uprising of a tyrannical government. If we rely on government for something like healthcare then, theoretically, if the government were ever to become hostile to its people, the government could revoke our right to healthcare, and then we would be at its mercy. It's the same reason many Americans so jealously guard the right to bare arms, because that right was instituted to provide the people the means to defend themselves from an oppressive government. And, yes, this anti-big government mindset does stem from our history as a revolutionary nation that forcibly overthrew an oppressive government. If the prevention of a dangerously over powerful government means finding an alternative method for caring for our poor, then that is a price many Americans are willing to pay, and do pay in literal terms. Americans give more money to charity than any other nation.

How about Extreme Escorting from the Premises, for entitled twats like her?

WTF? "Today I went without my meds and made an ass of myself in walmart. FML"

Forget the show, I just wish we had decent coupons here in Australia. I find the shows unbelievable, that they can buy hundreds of dollars worth of product and only pay a few dollars.
onlychildFTW 34
It is probably faked like all the other reality shows. I wouldn't be surprised if the show paid the stores for the groceries behind the scene and told then to show like $5 or something. I feel bad for the people behind those people having to wait for then to buy way to many groceries that will just rot away in the pantry.
Izabushel 65
I wondered about that. And as you said the buying of so many products that will expire before they can use them! Just so much waste.

I was half-watching Extreme Couponing today, and a 15-year-old couponer added fifty bottles of barbeque sauce to her shopping list. I didn't really get mad, though, until she said, "I don't even LIKE barbeque sauce!" It's just disgusting. Why go out and get fifty bottles of something you don't even like?
Izabushel 65
59 I saw that episode, made me cranky as well. And love that you were "half-watching it". It's like a train wreck, you can't look away. 69 Good to hear from someone who knows. I hope your friend is not like the BBQ sauce train wreck!
Grimmerie 31
62 - I was playing with my bunny, who likes to eat remote controls. I was forced, I tell you, forced to endure the horrors of couponing! You're absolutely right, it is like a train wreck.
Izabushel 65
Ooooo much sympathy too you. Did you make your bunny watch along with you?
Grimmerie 31
Yes, and she can no longer eat without assistance.

A better idea would be 2-for1 on a giant bottle of sleeping pills.

That is really ridiculous what a nut. Not everyone has the same shows or ways of operating stores. I gotta say to onlychild obviously from Canada by all the comments. My boyfriend has lived there all his life and I plan to join him ASAP. I never hear bad things only good ones. Not that there aren't problems like everywhere but wow.
deaddonkey 15
It sucks like every other reality show. She was probably just angry that she was watching the show.
