Today, at my cashier job, I got written up for accepting obviously photocopied coupons. Last week, I got written up for "inadequate customer service" because I refused to accept the same bogus coupons from the same customer. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss showed me a two-page letter from a customer, complaining about me because I couldn't honor a coupon that expired in 2009. He agreed that I did the right thing by refusing it, but said it would be a black mark on my record anyway due to the complaint. FML
Today, I was fired from my job over a coupon a coworker offered me for bonus reward points. Apparently, it wasn't one I was entitled to. I never even looked at the coupon and assumed it was fine since they offered it to me. FML
Today, I was working drive thru and took a huge order. When the people pulled around to the window, they handed me a stack of coupons. None of the coupons were even related to what they ordered. They made me change their order to fit the coupons because they couldn't read. FML
Today, a customer called me a "smart ass" because I helped him scan his coupon correctly. FML
Today, I work as a cashier, and as always, I asked the customer paying credit to sign the "sheet" of paper. I received a dirty look from one woman who apparently talked to the manager about me, saying I had asked her to sign the "shitty" paper. I have now been warned for "derogatory language." FML
Today, I found out that I accidentally returned a customer her $147 check she had written out to pay for her groceries and receive cash back. The lady got free groceries and money, and I'm now losing my job. FML
Today, I had a formal complaint filed against me for being outrageously rude to a customer. All I did was tell a customer that she couldn't use food stamps at the movie theater. FML
Today, at work, we had an extremely rude customer who started cussing at us, and my coworker started cussing back. I jumped on the register to quickly bring down the line, and apologized to everyone for the scene. A secret shopper was in the line and claimed that I was rude. I got written up. FML
Today, I'm a cashier in a grocery store. The visiting regional manager tore me a new one for being lazy. His reason? After working a double shift with no break, I decided to sit down for a minute when things got slow. FML
Today, I got yelled at by a customer for refusing to give a found credit card to a woman it didn't belong to. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sounds like they're trying to get rid of you.

Ambrose Bierce logic: you do the wrong thing, you get punished; you do the right thing, you still get punished. My sympathies.

Do you work at WalMart? It sounds like what managers would do at my store. Kinda like how everyone can complain about you but when you go to them about someone they won't listen. Then say it's because you 'complain' too much, when it was the 1st time you complained about anyone.

I'd tell them to take their 'inadequate customer service' and shove it up their inadequate asses...

ahh, the importance of a good education speaks again. if you are in HS, go to college and get a degree in something that pays well (i.e. chemistry, economics, etc.) and you wont have to deal with retarded bosses as much. If you are out of HS and not in college, you are retarded and completely deserved it. If you are making excuses for not going to college, you REALLY REALLY deserved it
