Today, a customer made a huge scene at work because all of our reading glasses are made in China, and apparently any "moral" person should be repulsed by that. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was verbally abused by a customer at my job. Apparently, wearing "ugly, thick-framed hipster glasses as a fashion statement is a HUGE faux pas." These are my actual prescription glasses, and "faux pas" is not pronounced "fox paws". FML
Today, a customer filed a complaint against me because my coworker took too long to do a price check. I hate my job. FML
Today, a customer yelled at me because we didn't have any laptops in stock. I work at a clothing store. 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 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, 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, a customer said the pants she was buying rang up more than advertised. I quietly told her plus-sizes were not on sale. The customer yelled in front of a whole line of people, "So I'm fat and can't read! Any other insults you'd like to throw at me?" and stormed out of the store. FML
Today, a customer filed a formal complaint with corporate about me, because I wouldn't help her find things she wanted while I was off the clock. We were in a completely different store than the one where I actually work. FML
Today, a guest at the hotel I work at started shouting at me. Apparently the street vendor selling sunglasses outside the hotel sold her a pair of 'genuine' Ray Bans for $5. She wanted me to phone the police because she realized two days later they were fake. FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML

Alright, well, if they're willing to pay the literal price for products made in this country, I'm sure there's an Etsy shop for that.

I feel ya, OP. I work for a paint company and a customer called in mad because he couldn't read the label. When I offered to help, he got mad because we "wouldn't have to make the label so small if we didn't have to make room for Mexicans". Hang in there OP, you don't come across those people too often.

I know it was a joke, but out of curiosity I looked it up... There's actually stores on Etsy that sell reading glasses at the lovely price of $79

I can only hope there's still time to do what's moral and import reading glasses from Antarctica. Better douse the store in holy water too for good measure.

She makes a point... That shouldn't Be ignored if you understood what made in China means for the people in China..

While it's true that conditions in factories overseas is (way too often) appalling, OP's username suggests that the customer wasn't exactly thinking about the welfare of Chinese workers.

Which is funny because Trump outsources.

An unborn fetus in a sweatshop made those reading glasses.

If they don't like Chinese made products then she can shop at a different store or be escorted out of the store by security

Probably the second, cause I can't think of a store that doesn't primarily have cheap Chinese stuff for things like reading glasses.

I think the person doesn't like products made in China period.
