Today, I assisted my first customer at my first job as a Target cashier. When I rang up this lady's items and gave her the total, not only did she hiss at me and spit in my face, but she also dragged my manager over and demanded that he fire me. He did. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, a customer asked a question I couldn’t answer. I asked if she would wait while I consulted someone else, but she spat in my face and stormed off. My manager saw, wrote me up for refusing to help, and gave the woman a gift card for her troubles. 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, I bought some shoes, but pissed off the lady working at the store by returning them 5 minutes later. She yelled at me and ripped my receipt in half, everyone in the store watched as she threw a handful of pennies at my face. FML
Today, I assisted a customer at work. She was asking me all sorts of stupid questions and acting like an entitled, spoiled brat. When she left, since I had a mask on, I meant to mouth, "Stupid bitch" but I blurted it out loud. Everyone heard. I was fired. 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, while working at the store, a lady grabbed a bunch of T-shirts and started talking on the phone. She then walked out the store with them. I ran after her, and she sprays me with mace telling me to not interrupt her while on the phone. My eyes burned for hours. Oh, and I was fired because of the huge loss. FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, I was at work as a cashier. An old lady unbagged everything I had, and angrily "taught" me how to bag. She put potatoes on her eggs and broke them. She then screamed that I was useless and retarded in front of all my other customers and manager. FML
Today, I was called into my first day of work as a cashier. Not even 30 minutes into training, my boss had already "accidentally" touched my ass 7 times. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That’s when you call the police and have the bitch arrested for assault and battery (spitting on you). What’s the manager going to do? Fire you again?

Yeah, sounds like a few crucial details were conveniently left out.

I'm just going to assume you didn't mention that you're pressing charges against her because you want to keep your post short.

Did you add a few extra zeroes to her total?

While what the woman did was highly inappropriate, I do have to agree with the first comment. There's probably more to the story than what your giving, and I can only vote if you give more details.

It's a consensus. You need to do a follow up that includes all the missing details in this story. There's no way you got fired simply for ringing this lady up and telling her the total. That is literally your job.

Either there is more to this story or it's just plain fake.

Have you ever been a retail cashier? I have for over 30 years in a supermarket, auto parts, office supplies, and Disney. I can totally believe that happened because I’ve had customers spit on me and slap me for less.

Well yea but to be fired on the spot there has to be more to the story.

I've had customers who didn't want to wait for a manager to help them and would cause a scene only for them to get everything they wanted. Employers are too afraid of bad word of mouth with social media.

I have worked in retail and it's not the customer's behavior that I doubt. I doubt that a manager just fired an employee if there wasn't anything else going on in this story.

I'll assume that there is more to this story. Noone comes up and spots on someone for no reason. Until a follow-up appears, I'll assume you deserved it.
