Today, at work, I was screamed at and slapped by a woman for supposedly violating her 2nd Amendment rights. In reality, I'd simply turned her away from the 10 items or less line because she had well over the allowed number of items. I've no fucking idea what's wrong with some people. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got bitched out by some lady in a Walmart because I looked at her funny while she was on the phone, loudly bragging about "slapping the shit out of" her kids. FML
Today, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. FML
Today, I was screamed at and told that I was denying someone's "second amendment" by not letting him through with a gun. I work at the border; he was trying to enter Canada. This is not the first time, and it probably won't be the last. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, while working at a dollar store, I was clobbered by a woman because apparently, I was ripping her off by charging two dollars for two doughnuts. She didn't understand that she couldn't buy multiple items at once for one dollar. 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, 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, I was ringing up a lady’s items; two shoeboxes. Per policy, I’m supposed to open them. She heavily insisted I didn’t. I ignored her and found other merchandise inside. She then went on a rant on how "people should mind their own fucking business" and stormed out of the store without buying. FML
Today, while waiting for my order at a restaurant, a woman walked up to me and slapped me. She looked at me for a moment and said "Sorry, I thought you were someone else." Ten minutes later, the same woman came back and slapped me again. FML
Today, while bagging my groceries at a store, a lady came over to me, took a good look at the food I'd bought, picked out an item and put it in her bag. When I confronted her, she called security on me and told them I wanted to steal her stuff. I got thrown out and she walked away with a smirk. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Was she buying guns?

Could you imagine the look on the cashiers face if Op brought 10+ guns to the counter.

"yea, I'd just like to buy all these pistols, this gattling gun and umm sorry, but what's the best gun to take out police in riot gear?

"I see that these grenades are listed as buy one, get one half off. I think I'll take 20, my good sir."

In the constitution, it says RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. Obviously this extends to arms full of groceries! Duh!
ZeeBest86 6
Maybe she had more than 10 bear arms.. Ba dum tish? -_-

I don't think OP would have turned her away if she had 10+ guns.

#59 Yup, anyone who carries all their groceries while shopping gets to use whatever line they want. It's what our forefathers would have wanted, they really hated shopping carts.

Actually you do. Y'know, mostly weirdos, idiots, morons, and others of the like.

Wtf?

#13, and perdix, because they have the best price on Sugar-Free Popsicles and other frozen confections, but I may fall into one or more of the aforementioned categories, although idiots and morons seldom use "aforementioned." ;) Oh, you forgot cheapskates!

So true. Goin to Walmart at 3am is like goin to the circus.. So many different strange characters

Or just the plain poor...

The only store in my area (I live a town of 3,000 population) is a Walmart. I can honestly say I've never seen anything weird at that place.
Uhscanherdarklee 10
Going to Walmart, especially after 9pm, is like walking into a live episode of Maury.

TheDrifter 24
That gives me an idea... I think I'll order a hundred thousand rounds of 9mm and 45acp to be shipped anonymously off the internet. I'll bet that brings plenty of people to my door to practice my mediocre social skills on.
perdix 31
She could have been buying bullets, a holster, a file, a meat cleaver, heavy-duty trash bags, bleach, a shovel, a flashlight, rope, duct tape, a map of the local woods, rubber gloves and an alibi.

You forgot the ammonia and lemon juice Perdix

Also, prepay for gas for a get away car or body burning
nitewlf12 10
Haha. Did anybody else not realize that you can buy an alibi at Walmart? Much appreciated perdix.
lexxiii 17
How the heck does having the right to bear arms relate to not being able to check out at a certain line? People these days...
xlord 27
Maybe she was buying a whole set of bear arms?
HouseElf 13
I now realize why rednecks wear sleeveless shirts.
simoncat 11
Maybe she got it mixed up and was buying a whole bunch of tank tops for her "right to bare arms."
speedyw03 6
The right to have weapons? Lady needs to know what she's talking about.
rattusrattus 19
I mean, if you're gonna go off the rails about how your randomly made-up constitutional right is being violated you'd at least pick one that less well-known. I'm damn British and I know the 2nd is the right 'bear arms' - and if 'arms' includes a longbow, a morningstar, and a ride-on cannon I'm in.

You, Sir (or madam) are my hero
bamagrl410 31
I think this is the first thread where commenters finally realized that she didn't actually know what she was talking about. Kudos to you. Everyone else is sitting here trying to figure out how it could've violated her 2nd amendment rights... *facepalm*
red_headforlife 15
People can be ridiculous.
Uhscanherdarklee 10
In all fairness Walmart usually only has about 2 lanes open at all times, regardless of how many customers are waiting. No excuse for the customer bitching out though.

She's got some problems!!

Yes, it's called Chronic Stupidity. Luckily I'm an expert at diagnosing this condition, and I'm sorry to say that you're exhibiting the early signs. I can treat you, but it's going to cost two bags of gummy worms and a packet of bacon. I'm not sure you can afford it.
Welshite 40
It's okay, decimater; I'm willing to take on two patients. *hands you an invoice for a watermelon, and a bottle of orange juice*
shitsville 13
You sound hungry... Here, have 3 bags of sausages!
jem970 19
Forget the gummy worms. Gummie life savers are where its at :)
Rababco 29
Can you treat me too Welsite? Is chronic confusion also a treatable condition? I think I have that too.
HaneenDixon 16
Please tell me you slapped her back so hard that made her re-evaluate her lifestyle choices! (¬_¬)
lilhellian 27
Best part is Op could've claimed self-defense. The employer couldn't really fire for that.
ironichalibut 24
But they could be fired for conducting themselves in a manner unfit for a service industry worker. It's the sad truth of the position, you take the crap so they give you the cheque. I agree that in theory it is justifiable self defense, but the unfortunate truth is you're being paid to put up the happy front in the face of animosity. In some cases companies even have simple contracts/agreements for service workers to sign along those lines.
HaneenDixon 16
True it's part of their job to put up with difficult people but not with physical abuse! Inflicting pain is never justifiable (unless it's self defense) ! I doubt that enduring physical pain or harm is part of OP's contract.
ironichalibut 24
It's also not self defense unless there's a clearly apparent threat at the time of defense, if the customer simply slapped the OP and walked away, and was no longer a threat, they could be arrested themselves for going on the attack, both parties would be at fault. I agree wholly, It isn't part of their job to endure abuse, but it is their job without argument, to act professionally. There are always options like walking away, calling your manager, or just keeping your cool.
HaneenDixon 16
Well I wasn't suggesting for op to run after her and tackle her to the ground! Self defense is using some sort of force in the face of danger I know that. All I'm saying, IF op had reacted during the time of the slap it would've been counted as self defense. If it's true that an individual would've been fired for defending themselves (because i'm not sure how it works here in US) then they'll have to choose between walking away with their self esteem still attached and not ripped to shreds or keeping their job. I choose the first one but that's just in my opinion.
ironichalibut 24
I'd feel more esteem in myself if I Kept my cool and could say that even though someone was completely out of line, I kept my professionality intact, and didn't bring my own dignity into question, in my opinion.
Not_Impressed13 9
The customer is always right.
maosquare 18
No, 102, the customer is not always right.
meso222 8
The customer is ALWAYS right... Until they are wrong. And as it stands even self defence can get you fired in a service job simply due to the "threat you put on the store and other customers". And it is unprofesional to talk back or act against a customer, you do not gi e the company money. The question becomes is your job worth losing your dignity by getting slapped around.

Orange peels, or Orang-utan poo. Depends on what country you reside.

As much as I'd like an octagonal pizza right now, 103, we both know it's obnoxious penguin.
ironichalibut 24
Did you scream that she violated several of your rights and call then police? I hate it when people claim a violation of their rights and then turn around and violate someone else's in the same breath.
