Today, at work, an elderly lady came up to the cash register with a flyer in her hand, and asked if we had a certain item. I told her we did not have any left, and we would be getting more next week and if she wanted, I could give her a rain check. She hit me in the face with her purse. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, an old lady came through my line to buy some groceries. She told me she lost her purse and was a little short. It was busy, so I pulled out my little purse and gave her the money she needed. A few minutes later she returned with my boss, insisting that my purse was hers. FML
Today, I was working as a cashier and a woman brought up a suitcase. As I was ringing her up I checked inside like I'm supposed to and I very jokingly say, "Look at all the stuff you're stealing." She laughed nervously then hit me in the head with her heavy purse before running out of the store. FML
Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML
Today, I saw an elderly woman struggling to reach the top shelf in my local grocery store, so I went over and asked if she needed help. She then accused me of flirting with her and had me escorted from the property. FML
Today, I was waiting in line while a lady paid for her shopping, when her credit card got declined. She started ranting and insulting everyone and kept insisting: "I'm not poor!" By the time the lady had finally stormed off, I had spittle on my face, and the cashier was almost in tears. 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 was at the supermarket when an elderly lady asked if I'd grab some coffee for her from a high shelf. The moment I took my hands off my almost-full shopping cart, she made off with it. I ended up getting thrown out by security after she claimed I was trying to steal it from her. FML
Today, I was out shopping when an old lady bumped into me and dropped her purse. Trying to help, I bent over to pick it up, at which point she battered the shit out of me, called me a "filthy thief" and threatened to open an umbrella in my ass. What the fuck has the world come to? FML
Today, at work, a woman screamed at me and called me a bitch because I refused to refund something we give away for free. FML
Today, a woman came up to my cash register, where I was struggling with the cash, and asked if we took cash. FML

OP- Tell her that she's just mad because her ****** is old, wrinkly, and used up.

24 if you weren't retarded and learned how to read, you would notice at the top that it says the op is Canadian. leave it to an American to come up with the idea of suing as the first fix to a problem.

"Yeah, only AMERICANS are bigoted! Only Americans do X! I'm so awesome because I don't stereotype or look down on people like an AMERICAN would!" People who talk like that (and I'm not referring to all non-Americans, before someone accuses me of that) are hypocrites.

But this is one of the situations in which a lawsuit would actually be a reasonable response. How can you expect to be able to reason with a person who has just assaulted you physically?

Please learn to read. #24 said "If you're American you could sue" which means the he/she knows the poster is not American.

I haven't voted yet but the other side of the coin here is that there's definitely some story missing. Maybe OP intentionally left out something they did to provoke them?
