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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, I was working when I delivered the standard "Hello, how are you?" to a customer. He took the opportunity to tell me about his deceased wife, his estranged children, and his anal tearing. After a while, I tried to help someone else, and he complained to my manager. I was written up. FML
Today, I got called a cunt at work by a customer. What could I have said that could have caused them to say that? "Have a great day." FML
Today, my boss yelled at me, telling me that I can't answer the phone anymore. Not because I do a bad job, but because a co-worker whined about it being her job. People call her and complain about how rude she is and then ask to talk to me. FML
Today, working at a fast food restaurant, I was berated by a customer for a good two minutes. It's okay though because she ended with, "Sorry, I forget you all are real people." FML
Today, my boss came around to my way of thinking. He called our customers a "bunch of assholes" and to kick them out if they gave me trouble. When a lady began yelling at me for "setting the damn prices too high" I told her to leave. My boss soon bitched me out for being unprofessional. FML
Today, at work, a woman screamed at me and called me a bitch because I refused to refund something we give away for free. FML
Today, my boss bitched me out on the sales floor for a good 10 minutes, because I wasn't "smiling the right way" for our customers. 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
Today, while at work, a customer refused to speak louder, despite me asking her to do it several times. As a result, I took her order incorrectly. The customer then finally decided to raise her voice, but only to yell at me about my poor listening skills. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should have just hugged him and said *shhhhh it's okay... I know* and then he would have started crying because of his deep emotional trama.

You should've told them to stop projecting their unwanted thoughts into you

As crappy as that was op, just remember that that person is probably going through a really hard time and having a bad day. Maybe they just lost someone close to them. It doesn't excuse their behaviour, but it helps me realize that people often say things and react in ways they usually wouldn't just because of what's going on in their lives.

Having a bad day or going through something in your life does not justify being rude to someone simply doing their job. I've had days where I was near tears or seethingly angry but if I had to interact with someone in customer service I switch those emotions off, smile, and be polite.

Seems as if they've been having a bad day. Sorry OP! Just get past it. People will always be stupid!

Hi, how are you doing today?

Not bad, actually. Thanks for asking.

Well. My father died of asphyxiation earlier today.

So condescending, how dare you greet someone! Haha, I get it all the time in the hospital. Don't let someone else darkness dim your light!
