Today, a woman and her daughter came into the store I work at. The girl placed a pair of underpants on the counter, and confessed she had stolen them earlier. Assuming she had already heard a lecture, I simply thanked her for bringing them back. Her mom yelled at me for not yelling at her. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at the mall shoplifting when a girl who looked my age pointed to a shirt I had in my bag. "Stole that, huh?" she asked smiling. She looked pretty cool, so I nodded and asked if she stole the jeans she was wearing, which were from the same store. Turns out she didn't, she's the manager. FML
Today, while I was shopping, I spotted a lady who had the last of an item I wanted in her cart. She went off to the dressing room, so seeing my opportunity, I went and grabbed it from her cart, and put it in mine. I hadn't noticed her bratty-ass daughter next to the cart, who then yelled, “I saw that! Mommy! Some lady's stealing from your cart!” FML
Today, I caught a grubby, evil-smelling, foul-mouthed woman blatantly shoplifting by stuffing electronics into her coat pockets, so I detained her and called the police. Less than an hour later I was fired. She was the shop owner's mother and “had permission” to just take stuff. FML
Today, while going through my daughter’s room, I found a pair of pants with the security tag still attached. My daughter is a thief. FML
Today, I caught and kicked a shoplifter out of my store. The shoplifter was my mom. FML
Today, I slipped money into my mother's purse after she refused to let me pay for lunch. She caught me in the act and thought I was stealing money from her instead. FML
Today, I returned a shirt for my mom. When the cashier asked why, I just said my mom didn't like the way it looked. After an awkward pause, I noticed the cashier was wearing the same shirt. She was not amused. FML
Today, I went clothes shopping. I took my little daughter into the dressing room while I tried some clothes on. She somehow managed to open the door while I was changing. A lady outside then bitched me out for "exposing" myself to her kids. FML
Today, I was in a department store with my three year old daughter to buy some new jeans. I took her into the dressing room with me and as I began to take off my pants she yells, "Mommy, you can't go peepee in here!!" I am no longer welcome in that particular store. FML
Today, I found out where all my missing panties have gone, when my 12-year-old daughter was caught selling them to the boys at school. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You are not her mom, that's her job to yell at her not yours.

It's not your job to parent a strange child.

Who the hell steals underwear?

Panties are actually one of our most stolen items where I work. It's small and easy to conceal so a lot of people will just take one and stuff in their purse/pocket. We've caught someone that had like 4-5 panties hanging out.

"Once I stole a pair of red underwear from the deparent store. My mom wouldn't buy them for me--she said they were Satan's panties!"

You should've yelled at the mom for doing such a lousy job in raising her kid to steal in the first place. You would've yelled at the kid, you would've been writing a FML about how you got fired for yelling at a customer after yelling at the kid who returned stolen wear after which the mom started yelling at you for yelling at her kid. This was a lose-lose situation. FYL...

To be fair, a kid stealing something once isn't necessarily a failure of the parent. If the parent catches it and makes the kid go back to return it, that's a good response. A lot of kids go through this once or twice and then figure out that stealing is something they shouldn't do. Any yelling or discipline is strictly the responsibility of the parent and should be at their discretion, though. There's no reason to involve a stranger in that.

I work in retail and if someone had returned an item that he/she stole, I would have gave them a stern lecture but thanked them for the change of heart. Not only is it unprofessional to yell at people, but it makes a scene and gets you in trouble with management. The mother was a total bitch for bitching you out like that, when it's her job to discipline her child. I hate retail sometimes. FOL (**** our lives)

You should've yelled at the mom for yelling at you for not yelling at her! •£_•

Sorry, I passed out there for a minute. My brain is suffering from a sudden loss of blood. I just started thinking of the hot girl-on-girl-on-MILF, bondage & discipline action that should ensue after this scene took place. First, the saleswoman examines the underwear, sniffs it in deeply and ... *thud*

A pig who knows the difference between "your" and "you're." What's your excuse, are you a cow? Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Oink! ;)

Though that last bit is disgusting (sorry, I know some people like that but really, no. Yuk. Stop) I can see where you got this idea from given the op's name......

Thanks, Cap't Obvious. Maybe he got the story from the FML itself?

I dont think you're allowed to yell at customers anyway. So either you yell at her and probably get in trouble or you dont and get yelled at by someone who you'll probably never see again. You made the better choice.

You should have yelled at her mom after she said that
wittycomments 0
Did you yell back? I do see where she's coming from. No parent wants his / her child growing up a delinquent. However, not your job to discipline HER child!

Moms fault not yours keep up the good work!
