WTF?
Today, I received my first customer complaint. It said, "I am a regular customer and when I come in, he is always smiling and tells me he will see me soon when I leave. This makes me feel very uncomfortable." Now I'm under investigation for sexual harassment. FML

Today, at the store, I didn't hear the cashier when she asked if I had a loyalty card. She took one look at my naturally bitchy-looking face and muttered "It's my JOB to ask, jeez." FML

Today, at work as a bank teller, an angry customer complained that the payments on his two credit cards had been messed up the previous month, with the wrong amount being credited to each account. I asked if he knew who'd helped him. He said, "Well, it wasn't you - she was younger and prettier!" FML

A cashier's life
Today, as I worked as a cashier, two girls came up laughing. I smiled as I rang them up, asking what had made them laugh so hard. One looked me dead in the face and said, "You." They then both walked away, laughing. FML

Today, while covering lunch for the self-checkout host, I noticed a customer walking away. I smiled and said, "Have a nice night!" A few minutes later, I saw that she'd left without paying on her machine. I'd smiled and waved at a lady as she stole from me. 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
Sorry Not Sorry
Today, my boss bitched me out for a customer complaint. The complaint was me not laughing at the customer's joke of me asking for his ID and him saying no. I'm sorry, I've been getting this "joke" a least twice a day since I started working here two years ago. FML

As a super smiley cashier, now I'm wondering if I'm the person that customer complained about. :-P

I was thinking the same thing about myself. Customers are always asking me why I'm smiling all the time. In actuality, it's mostly because you're supposed to smile when interacting with customers.

Never trust a person that smiles all the time.

I'm a cashier and have had my supervisor tell me the same thing. Yet, when I'm in an off mood, I get reprimanded for not being friendly enough.

Shit like this is why I'm glad that I'm finally getting out of retail.

In today's society it seems like happiness is a crime. It doesnt always have to be so serious. I watch people walk around looking furious ironically unaware of what their fury is. Guess they're trying to mask the pain, and what it really is.

He's probably been smiling so much because the dude complains too much.
