Today, a customer screamed at me, because her iced coffee tasted exactly like coffee, and she hates coffee. Sadly, this isn't even the most insane person I've had to deal with at this job. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a customer threw his cup of coffee at me screaming that it wasn't hot enough. Well, maybe it wasn't hot enough for him, but it was sure hot enough to burn me. FML
Today, while working the drive-through, a woman ordered a large coffee with four creams. I handed her the coffee, and she took a sip. She then hurled it at me, screaming, "I said four creams, not five!" and sped off, leaving me drenched in hot coffee. FML
Today, at work, a customer came in and ordered a "Butterbeer Frappuccino." When I said we serve no such thing, she yelled at me for "lying" to her, saying she knew about our "secret menu." She ended up complaining to my manager and demanded that he fire me. FML
Today, at the café I work at, I was yelled at by a woman because the drinks and food she ordered were "taking too long". Before I had the chance to get a word in, she stormed out and said she would never come back. I didn't get the chance to inform her that she hadn't ordered yet. FML
Today, my coworker and I were swamped with coffee orders. I told him I would "take care of the blacks", and a customer who only heard that sentence screamed at me for several minutes about racism. FML
Today, I was yelled at by a customer, who was upset over having waited twenty minutes for a waiter to come take her order. Maybe it would be understandable, if she was sitting in an actual restaurant, and not a serve-yourself coffee house. FML
Today, at work, a customer ordered a caramel latte with no caramel. I made a regular latte after explaining that’s what it was. He got angry and threw it at me. I got fired for insulting his intelligence. FML
Today, I went through a drive-thru and ordered a coffee. The cashier asked, “Hot or iced?” I panicked and said, “Yes.” We both just stared at each other until she said, “So… which one?” I wanted to drive away and never return. FML
Today, I was yelled at by a customer because we didn't have any ketchup packets. I work in a coffee shop. FML
Today, a customer at my coffee shop bitched me out because we don't sell cranberry juice. FML

I have a feeling op is leaving out some important info, I mean nowadays your morning coffee can be flavored to taste like just about anything, so maybe the customer ordered a special drink that wouldn't taste like normal coffee. On a side note though what so bad about the taste of coffee I always drink it black

Because some people are ******* crazy-ass mother *******. And some like to run their mouths off to feel tough and in control. And so on and so forth. How about a little good faith, huh?

I agree with you on that some people will look for trouble

As someone who is obsessed with iced coffee, my guess would be that the crazy lady is used to iced coffee with flavored-syrup instead of actual coffee beans. There is a difference in flavor (iced coffee with coffee beans does have a less creamy, more coffee-ish taste. Go figure) but it's kinda bizarre that she'd complain about the coffee taste since even the syrup is still, y'know, coffee flavored.

43-I work in a coffee shop, and all of our iced coffee has coffee beans in it...we can add syrup like caramel or mocha, or shots of flavor, but no matter what you order in it, it still has coffee in it..otherwise it would just be ice, cream, sugar, and flavoring. We do have a frozen coffee drink, but even that has a coffee base in it, so no matter what, it is going to taste like coffee.

Because the FMLs that described the worst ones were denied because of a spelling mistake.

I have had customers like that. One wanted "meat free strawberries". Then yelled at me when I handed her frozen strawberries. Sorry OP.

What are "meat free strawberries"? I googled it and didn't find anything on it.
stormchaser24 24
She wanted organic strawberries. "Which are meat free unlike the regular ones." according to her. That is what she said.

I would have recommended tea. People don't know what they want, at least until they've gotten all the 'scream' out of there system.
