Today, a customer threw his hot coffee all over me, because it was taking "too long" for their credit card to be approved. FML

So I am doing a follow up on this because for some reason a different name was put as the author, I have contacted FML about it. This happened about 2 years ago when I worked at a theme park in Orlando. The guy was buying tickets and I told him that the computer told me I had to call the credit card company. I asked if he wanted me to use a different card and he said no and was fine with me calling to get authorization. I was on hold with the company and it was taking too long for him. He started complaining and I told him I was on hold but instead of calming down he threw his coffee on me. It was not scorching hot but it was hot enough that it did burn a bit. Security came over and escorted him off the premises and he is now banned from the entire company's property. I didn't sue in fact it was just another story to tell my friends and family.

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I think that qualifies as assault. Take his grumpy ass to court!

I heard the customer is always right... So direct your punch to the right side

That's when you announce that his card is declined and cut it in half.

I've worked in a coffee shop before, there is no greater hell. If you don't spill hot coffee on yourself, someone else will do it for you.

I'm so sorry that had happened to you. I was once in a time where a costumer threw a pretzel at my face and said I belong cleaning the toilets in the back... She did that because she got mad over the prices.
