Today, a customer threatened to smash my face in because I wouldn't give him a veteran's discount on a donut. He looked like he'd eaten his way out of fat camp, and it seemed the only action he'd seen was fighting his way into a lard factory. Still, he swung fast, and I now have a black eye. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a customer broke my nose for refusing to give him a discount because the product he was buying had a fine layer of dust on the box. FML
Today, as usual, I worked at McDonald's. Although I tried to diffuse the situation, an old man was absolutely furious, and punched me in the face over BBQ sauce. 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
Today, a customer wanted corporate's number because we aren't allowed to sell pies after midnight. After a drug-fuelled cuss-storm, she punched me in the face through the open window, then peeled out of drive-thru like a bat out of hell. FML
Today, while working at a sandwich shop, we had a shortage and could only put so many veggies on one sandwich. I explained this to one man who was grumpy about it, but kept on ordering. I thought everything went well. He thought my face was a good target to launch his completed sandwich at. FML
Today, an angry customer from my old job and punched me in the face before screaming; “You thought you’d seen the last of me?” I moved seven states over and she followed me here just to do that. FML
Today, an old guy got nose to nose with me, threatened me, and spit in my face, just because I politely reminded him he needed to be wearing a mask. He had been coughing on multiple food items in my store. FML
Today, at work, I’ll admit that I wasn’t in a good mood. I work in fast food, and I went to hand this guy his food without looking and he didn’t grab it. I got frustrated so I FINALLY looked. With an equally as upset look, I noticed the guy didn’t have arms, so I’d just been shoving food in his face. FML
Today, I was standing in line at a coffee shop and I noticed that there was a bug on the guys face in front of me. Trying to be nice I lightly smacked it off. His reaction was to punch me in the face. Repeatedly. FML
Today, a customer at the restaurant where I work reduced me to tears by screaming at me, as I nearly knocked out his 2-year-old with the kitchen door, after he let the little boy play on the floor behind it. Apparently, it's my fault I can't see through solid wood. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you said that to him, I'd punch you too.

I think what a lot of the commenters are missing is the fact that it's a DONUT. It's not accommodation, or basic food, it's a luxury. If he can afford a donut he can afford full price.

Assault is still assault, whether the customer is a vet or not. I'd have gotten the police involved.

Giving someone a black eye for not getting a discount on a donut is pretty ******* childish especially because he is a vet. I hope he gets arrested. Uncalled for.

I thought if you get charged for assault, it's usually just a fine? Or does it depend on how bad the assault was? Don't down vote its a serious question.

.. Oh. I thought they were just making a joke because they said people twice. Brain fart.

Overweight or not if he was a veteran he deserves respect and his discount

No one deserves respect if they're going to assault someone, especially over a donut.

I feel like we're missing some info. A veteran sure as hell wouldn't punch someone over a discount, and someone faking would just drop it.

I don't know... There are bad seeds everywhere. It could have been a crazy vet or a crazy man trying to get a discount.

Nice cheap shot about his looks. Guess you needed to give him one back for your black eye, huh? You didn't deserve it until you made this FML, douche.

You should have asked to see his ID you can't just decide that because somebody is fat now they were never in the army. Also if you selling donuts you are part of the reason people are fat.

You cant assume that OP didnt ask for his ID. Most likely OP did, and the guy didnt have it.
QueenofWheels 13
Why can you assume he did ask and I can't assume he didn't?

Don't judge a book by its cover.

Was he suffering from PTSED (Post Traumatic Stress Eating Disorder)?

FYL, but about 1/5 of veterans end up fat. Always check for I.D.
