Today, a grown man yelled at me because he'd been waiting for 15 minutes and still hadn't been seated or had his order taken. We were at a self-serve breakfast buffet. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, the slow, incompetent kitchen staff was keeping customers waiting for their food for 20 minutes. I got sick of a bunch of grown adults with kids my age ganging up on me, so I quit on the spot, and walked. Some guy grabbed me by the collar and dragged me back to the register. People cheered. FML
Today, while standing in line at a local Mexican fast food place, I was feeling generous and let a little kid behind me go in front. Turns out he had a list, and was ordering food for his whole family. I had to wait 30 minutes to get my food. FML
Today, a woman came up to me at work and screamed at me for "taking forever" to come and wait at her table. I work at Wendy's. FML
Today, I waited in line at a drive-through behind a man for ten minutes. I got out of my car, cursed at him, and then asked him to give me one good reason why it would take that long to order. The man slowly explained to me that he had a stutter. FML
Today, a lady cussed me out for not bringing her salad and pizza to her table. She then wanted her money back. I work at a buffet; a self-serve buffet. 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, after standing in line for most of my lunch break just to buy food, some asshole with a cart full of stuff cut in front of me. He claimed that he was there the whole time, and the whole line, plus the cashier backed him up. I missed lunch. FML
Today, I got yelled at by a man for not opening my store 10-15 minutes before the scheduled opening time, which made his 84-year-old wife shit her pants waiting to get in. It didn't matter when I explained I had no way to know she needed to use the restroom. FML
Today, an interviewer kept me waiting for 20 minutes at reception, then marked me "late" in his feedback. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I presume this is the same guy that asks for the price of stuff at Dollar Tree.

You deserved it for working at a buffet.

Wtf do you do there? Why didn't anyone acknowledge that he was standing there for 15 minutes? You deserved it.

Well, you know the OP may have been doing her actual job, probably along the lines of transporting food from the kitchens to the buffet or picking up dirty plates etc.

The buffets in my city still have staff to take you to a table and get your drinks....maybe he assumed that's how it works.

A part of me wants to give the customer the benefit of the doubt, maybe he was on autopilot or hadn't had enough coffee yet. But then I realize the guy doesn't need to be an ass and yell at somebody for his own misunderstanding.

And I bet he still acted like he was several rungs above you in the food chain. There is always a customer like this....

Actually at most place they get you a table first then you order drinks then it is self serve at the buffet.
