Today, at the store, I didn't hear the cashier when she asked if I had a loyalty card. She took one look at my naturally bitchy-looking face and muttered "It's my JOB to ask, jeez." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to 7-11, where the cashier asked me if I had the app to get rewards. She then looked at me and said, "Never mind, I can tell you don't." I guess I have no control over my resting bitch face. 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, my boss bitched me out on the sales floor for a good 10 minutes, because I wasn't "smiling the right way" for our customers. FML
Today, while in line at the grocery store, I was going over the witty but caustic things I wish I'd said in an argument earlier. Turns out, I was saying them out loud. The cashier gave me a weird look and said, “Are you okay, ma'am?” FML
Today, a customer yelled at me so furiously that she sprayed my face with spittle. I had to stand there, smiling and politely explaining that I needed to see a receipt before I could give her a refund. When she finally gave up and left, my boss bitched me out for "provoking the customer". FML
Today, my boss bitched me out for a customer complaint. The complaint was me not laughing at the customer's joke of me asking for his ID and him saying no. I'm sorry, I've been getting this "joke" a least twice a day since I started working here two years ago. FML
Today, the most obnoxious customer came into my job. She surprisingly scrutinized everything I did. She even mentioned I didn’t offer our store credit card (I honestly forgot due to being overwhelmed by her rude attitude). Turns out she was a secret shopper. Apparently, I failed her little tests. I was fired. FML
Today, a customer complained that one of our cashiers smiles too much. FML
Today, working in retail, I noticed a customer looking for an item, so I walked up to them and asked, "Is there something I can help you find?" He replied, "Did I ask for your fucking help?" FML
Today, I went to the grocery store where this really cute guy works. I swiped my card but the machine wouldn't read it. I swiped it quickly some more before getting frustrated and saying, "Your stupid machine doesn't work!" He took the card and turned it around. His face said it all. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's also her job to be polite!

I know how you feel, OP; strangers have commented on how pissed I look on more than one occasion. I've gotten into the habit of shaving my eyebrows and drawing on less angry ones with Sharpie. Now I walk around with a perpetually sincere yet inquisitive look on my face. Well you're at it, you can also draw eyes on your eyelids in case you want to rest up during a particularly boring conversation without offending anyone.

To an extent. If OPs RBF is bad enough, the cashier probably felt like they had to explain.

That was immature on her part to say "jeez" and show outward frustration on customers.

Well do you have a loyalty card?

She should be polite regardless of what you said/what expression you were making.

People are so quick to judge, anyway isn't it apart of her job to be polite

I have a perpetually depressed looking face. Better than angry, I guess?

I would explain to the lady that you didn't hear her and your face naturally looks angry.

I know the feeling OP; I have a naturally unhappy looking face so people always ask me to smile in group photos, but I thought I already was smiling.
