Today, a shifty customer came in to my store and was hanging around for about 30 minutes. Apparently, he took that time to put religiously-motivated anti-abortion notes into each and every pair of socks. In the following hours, I had 17 angry returns and was personally threatened twice. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. FML
Today, I went in to return a pack of socks. The cashier told me I couldn't return them. Then, I thought that she hadn't given the unreturnable socks back to me, even though she had, so I ended up getting all hormonal and angry over their return policy. When I got home, my mom got on my case too. FML
Today, a customer came to make a return - a bag full of clothes without tags that weren’t from our store. I kindly told her she couldn’t return them. She had a full blown meltdown, pulled down her pants, urinated and defecated on the ground. Security escorted her out. My coworker and I had to clean it up. FML
Today, I was ringing up a lady’s items; two shoeboxes. Per policy, I’m supposed to open them. She heavily insisted I didn’t. I ignored her and found other merchandise inside. She then went on a rant on how "people should mind their own fucking business" and stormed out of the store without buying. FML
Today, I was working at a shoe store and was helping a dude try on shoes. He looked like trouble and I wanted to finish with him. When he finally picked his shoes, he abruptly stood up and ran out of the store with the shoes on. The cost of them was deducted from my salary. $240. FML
Today, a man tried to rob the store I work at. Before the guy was taken by the cops, he complained to my manager for "unfriendly behavior". He took it seriously and bitched me out for not providing "quality service" to our customers. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, I bought some shoes, but pissed off the lady working at the store by returning them 5 minutes later. She yelled at me and ripped my receipt in half, everyone in the store watched as she threw a handful of pennies at my face. FML
Today, at work, a customer asked for my number. When I declined, he made a huge scene, shouting and scaring other customers. He tipped me seven cents. FML
Today, I went to the supermarket to get some Easter gifts for my kids. At the register, I was verbally abused to the point of tears by the cashier, for having way too many items for the 12 items or less lane. I had 13. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why cant people keep their opinions to themselves?
turdwrangler 18
I guess that's one persons opinion.

I'd say that's nigh impossible. Maybe a better request would be to keep your very controversial opinions to yourself.

Better yet, keep controversial opinions out there. Free speech. The only problem is stupid people.

Because the sharing of opinions and ideas helps to shape the nature and function of society. If everyone just spent their time being a meek and silent recluse, sharing no opinions, we would have no sense of community. Also, I'm sure our growth, intellectually, emotionally, and otherwise, would be quite stunted if people couldn't speak their minds. Sure, it's easy to get frustrated if someone has a different opinion or shares it poorly, but if you can take a step back and look at the big picture... free speech is more of a good than evil.

I agree with his belief, but his tactics of spreading them seem kinda inappropriate..

What about this even remotely deserves the word "kinda"?

I disagree with his beliefs but agree that he has a right to have said beliefs.
Algorithm 24
He has a right to have beliefs, but not to put flyers about them in everyone's socks and make employees' jobs miserable. C'mon. Unless he's trans, I'm sure it's also very easy to be against abortion when he'll never be put in the difficult position of choosing between "have an abortion or have a kid".

Agreed, however the word "very" would do better than the word "kinda" in this situation
