Today, a customer came to my shop and asked our shop assistant if we had Smart TVs. She replied, "No we only have LG and Samsung." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a customer yelled at me because we didn't have any laptops in stock. I work at a clothing store. FML
Today, I went to a store to buy a 43-inch TV that was on sale. The sale was so good that they sold out on the floor. I went to guest services and asked the employee if they had any in the back. She literally went to the back of the room, let out this god awful fart, came back out and said, “Sorry, we don’t.” FML
Today, I bought a brand new flat screen TV. When I brought it home it didn't work. Furious, I walked into Best Buy and yelled at a guy in a tucked in blue polo and khakis. I asked him why it didn't work and he said he didn't know. I kept screaming. He didn't have a nametag. He didn't work there. FML
Today, a customer limped over to me in one of the dishwasher aisles and asked if we sold dishwashers. I said yes and pointed at all the dishwashers. He looked around for a couple of seconds, belched, then said "Oh... right!" and walked off. No commission for me, then. FML
Today, my mother went on another rant about the Smart TV not working. Instead of turning it off and on like she's been told to do before, she'll sit and complain about it. Even fixing it for her doesn't stop her complaining for another half-hour about technology. 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 bought my mother an expensive TV she had been looking at. After I bought it, she continued browsing for more stuff. I told her I couldn't afford the extra items. She got mad and called me "selfish". FML
Today, a customer walked up to me with a dog toy and said, "I knew one-stop shopping was a thing, but I didn't know you guys carried dildos." FML
Today, a customer came in with a laptop smashed beyond repair. She asked if we could recover her files, but thanks to my idiot boss's new store policy I had to ask her a bunch of questions, including if she had tried "turning it on and off." She stared at me, speechless, like I was a complete moron. FML
Today, I was chewed out by a lady who claimed the laptop she bought wouldn't turn on, and that she wanted a refund. She yelled and shoved the laptop at me, not even listening when I told her I didn't even work at that store. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It looks like you don't carry Smart Employees.

Sounds like my stepdad, except he is 70 and can't grasp technology and it's terms.

Maybe she was slamming Samsung and LG. Like , "Hey do you guys have smart phones?" No we only have IPhones. " OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Burn!!!! Carmelized!!! Look I'm just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I'm pretty sure your above comment is slamming iphones, but I get your point.

Employee of the Month, anyone?

Has she been trained in that department/product? I know sometime people just pick that sort of knowledge up, but as her employer it's your responsibility to make sure she knows what she's selling. If you hired her for a tech services position or if she mentioned experience in other tv-selling stores on her resume, that's one thing, but if she's a new employee without prior experience, you can't expect her to magically know everything about every product.

TVs are only as smart as the people using them.

Maybe she heard "Sharp TVs"? Remember when those were a thing?
