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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while at work, a customer gave me a $20 tip. I explained to him we aren't allowed to accept tips, but he insisted. When I called the manager to report it, he pocketed my tip. FML
Today, I was waitering at the restaurant that I work at when I collected a credit card bill that was worth $120 and a big zero on the tip line. Angered, I turned to a co-worker and said "I knew this asshole wasn't going to tip me." The guy was standing right behind me with $30 in his hand. FML
Today, I was taking out a customer's groceries when he offered me a $5 tip. I told him I couldn't accept, since it's against store policy, but thanked him anyway. He called me an asshole just as my boss was walking to his car, who then yelled at me for it. 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, I had a customer throw his purchase at me and demand a refund after I told him that, due to the national change shortage, I couldn't give him his 38 cents. FML
Today, a customer handed me a 100 dollar bill. He then told me that it was my tip for doing a good job. He snatched it away just as I touched it, laughed, and said, "Just kidding." He then took his money and left the store. FML
Today, at work I was trying to be nice and give a customer a discount because she was having trouble finding money to pay for her food. Everybody behind her then demanded a discount as well. FML
Today, while at work, a customer, who was also on his phone, rudely asked what kinds of bread we had for his sandwich. After I told him we had many different kinds to offer, he cut me off, told me to stop playing stupid, and stormed out after holding up a long line of people. FML
Today, while at work, a customer refused to speak louder, despite me asking her to do it several times. As a result, I took her order incorrectly. The customer then finally decided to raise her voice, but only to yell at me about my poor listening skills. FML
Today, I was taking a table's order. After I finished, the guy told me, "Just FYI, I'm not a tipper." Trying to lighten up the situation, I replied, "It's amazing how many people forget I handle their food." He complained to the manager that I'd threatened him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Yeah agreed. A guy like that is restraining order worthy if he has your number or address.

Guys like that are why college girls across America have to carry whistles at night.

Everyone's giving this guy crap despite the fact that he made OP 7 cents richer. That's quite the fortune she came across!

True.. In Holland we have a number everyone uses as fake number, and when he speaks into you voicemail it can be broadcasted on the radio.

Why didn't she just say she has a boyfriend?

I disagree with this. Giving the guy ANYTHING, even a fake number, would only validate his lousy behaviour. OP did right.

Well he could have came back the next day and asked why it doesn't ring..

Oh those awkward moments when you realize you've been duped... Priceless. Too bad you don't always see the reaction face.

alpaquette91 9
You're supposed to play along getting a huge tip not make a scene and get 7 cents

She contributed by not giving him her number there was many ways around this. Aka not really her number, like above comments have already stated.

Sounds like one of the more generous Canadian tippers...

At least someone really wanted your number!(:

That's the way to look at it. At least someone is interested... Someone who doesn't know how to react when getting declined a number. I wonder what he'd do if his proposal or something got turned down.
jekyllf 13
Yeah. I'm surprised more women, especially those who work retail, don't keep a fake number in their repertoire for such occasions. Best just to give someone a fake number and let it be.

Yea, but in my neighborhood, lots of people already know the "rejection" hotline numbers....lol...I guess they get rejected alot, so if she used a fake number, he may have known it and made it worse!!! lol

Just give him the number to the nearest gay bar.
