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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I was sitting in McDonald's. A lady came up to me and started complaining about the bad service, and asked for the manager. I told her that I didn't work there. "But you must, someone that fat has to work here!" FML
Today, at work, a woman came up to the counter and asked if we made sweet and sour chicken. Before I could answer, she gave me a really long recipe and said, "I expect to see this on the menu next time I come in, or I will complain to the manager about your lousy work ethic." I work at Starbucks. FML
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, at my place of work in a fast-food restaurant, a customer called in and bitched at me that her warm food was weirdly cold. That is, after she drove 45 minutes from the restaurant to her house. 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, I placed an order at a fast food joint, when the elderly lady behind me cussed me out for ordering the same thing she wanted. She ranted that I was a "dirty thief", while everyone else glared at me as if I was holding up the line. What the fuck? FML
Today, working at a fast food restaurant, I was berated by a customer for a good two minutes. It's okay though because she ended with, "Sorry, I forget you all are real people." FML
Today, while working at McDonald's, a woman returned to the drive thru because her fries weren't hot enough. She was so angry about coming back that she threw her cold fries at me through the window and told me to "choke on them." FML
Today, I went out to eat. When I walked into the restaurant, a lady approached me and said she'd seat me soon. After a long wait, I saw that same lady leave. Then I realized she didn't actually work there and was just screwing with me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Assholes like her make me lose faith in humanity -________-

OP should wait on her. Maybe if he apologizes for "being slow", the customer will leave a tip. Take advantage of the situation.

(Referring to 1s bio.) Guess this person didn't know they're shit. Before grammar nazis attack me. "They're" was intentional.

@21: If she leaves a tip, he has to turn it in to his manager or get fired.

21, You must not know how a fast food restaurant works.

21- you can't be serious, right? We're getting punk'd aren't we?

22: No need to apologize; it makes sense the way you used it.

21 she wouldn't have left a tip no matter how good the service was. Customers like that cannot be pleased and as was stated above OP can't accept the tip because it is against the company policy of most fast-food restaurants. When you work in that environment you go to work, get screamed at for various things you can't control, go home with your minimum wage paycheck, curl into a ball, and cry because when you work in the fast-food industry your life will always suck.

Not always. I'm 16 and work fast food because it's mainly a job for teenagers before they complete a degree and all that. But yeah, it is way more intense than people give it credit for. Fortunately I work at sonic and am allowed to keep my tips :).

Actually, 21, I've worked in fast food and occasionally people who didn't get that this isn't "tipped" work tipped me. Since we didn't do tips, I didn't have to report it. If I put it in my drawer, that would make my drawer have more money than it should. So... Mine!

50- you make a point. To everyone else, I worked at Wendy's also, depending on your manager you cam keep the tip. My managers "never saw it" when someone would give me a dollar or 2.

How old was she? The older are more acceptable.

Nope, they had longer to know how things work. No excuse

They also have more time to develop dementia or Alzheimer's.

If they have an age-related mental illness they shouldn't be left alone and should definitely not be out wandering the town. That's just dangerous.

Very true but someone who was already living on their own may not have anyone around to notice that they may be developing some issues. Someone has to know their is something wrong with you in order for it to be decided that it is no longer safe for you to be left on your own, otherwise you're on your own until something bad happens that creates notice.

Why was I buried? I'm saying if she was old that's her excuse to yell at you, she could've been confused.

I think it was her first time there..tell her ;)

You always remember your first :)

What about Wendy's? Does that place not take orders at the table? ( Sorry i've never been to that place. Just need some clarification ;D )
A7XCamaro 19
It's fast food, you order it before you go to the tables.
GovernorGeneral 8
Oh. Oh ya i forgot. Thanka. I usualy dont eat at fast food places. Sorry -_- Damn people who gave me thumbs downs >:o

It's an ice cream shop.

25- In America, it's a burger shop. In Australia, it's ice cream.
walmartpaysme 15
Since OP lives in America, I think we can safely assume that we are talking about a Burger joint.
mermaidcentaurs 9
Wendy's in America serve ice cream also.
vettle 6
Oooo boy when I was in new zealand it was the best ice cream ever! But yes in Canada it's a burger shop with square shaped burgers. I can't get around that.
Hunts160 5
fun fact: it's not really ice cream

kimmi41509 10
From experience, working at a fast food place you encounter all sorts of idiots..So this doesn't really surprise me.
walmartpaysme 15
Haha. I remember this one lady didn't even know how the drive-thru worked.
