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 went to a coffee shop and was given the wrong iced coffee. When I complained she stared at me like I was talking a foreign language and just gave me the same thing but almost pure coffee. No one could have drunk that!

No one could have drank a regular ice coffee that wasn't loaded full of sugar and artificial flavor? You're taking your coffee from zero calories to four hundred instantly.

"Hmm... I don't like coffee, but an iced coffee is completely different." Sorry, anyways she should have gotten an iced chocolate or something else without coffee. It's not your fault OP.

FYL OP. As someone above said, respect to you and all who work in customer service type jobs. I doubt I could do it for more than a week without going completely mad.

The service industry simply doesn't pay enough for what you have to deal with.

Reminds me of my ex-roommate. She didn't know how to make homemade iced coffee, and was very confused when I explained that its literally a cup full of ice and coffee with whatever else you typically add to your own coffee. Kept asking if I was sure about it too. -.-
