Today, I got fired from my job as a seafood manager because an entire wedding group came in and started yelling at me, saying the shrimp was horrible and I ruined their wedding. They showed me the leftovers; they never cooked them. They fed raw shrimp at a wedding dinner party. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after 8 months of being belittled and treated like trash at my job as a prep cook in a high-end kitchen, I stood up for myself to the line cooks. Not only did everyone laugh at me, I got fired for causing a scene during service and insubordination. FML
Today, I was fired from my job as a waitress, all because someone complained there was too much seasoning in their food. As I said, I'm a waitress. This happened the same week I was hired. FML
Today, I was verbally abused by a customer because her entrée was too fishy. I'm not the chef, just the waiter, and I work at a fish grill. FML
Today, I got food poisoning from my wedding food. FML
Today, I was fired from the restaurant I work at because I missed my shift. I missed it because I was in the hospital for food poisoning from the meal I ate at work last night. FML
Today, I was fired from my catering job for pointing out the unsafe food conditions. I'm studying food safety in college. FML
Today, I was preparing a customer's meal in my restaurant's kitchen, when I choked on my own saliva and went into a coughing fit. The head chef, who's always hated my guts, accused me of trying to hock a loogie into the meal and fired me on the spot. FML
Today, my family went out to dinner at a seafood restaurant. While we were eating our food, my grandma demanded to see the manager, and loudly complained that her fish was "too fishy". FML
Today, I went on a blind date with a guy at a seafood restaurant. I explained to him that I am deathly allergic to shrimp. When the waiter took my order, he interrupted me and said, “She’ll have the shrimp," while looking me dead in the eye. FML
Today, at my prestigious sous chef job, I was preparing to plate up expensive entrees for a function of 150 people. After arriving to work 2 hours early to finalize finishing touches, they call the restaurant 5 minutes before their booking stating, 'We can't be bothered anymore, sorry.' FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

But what's wrong with raw shrimp?
michaelaranda 28
Why blame yourself?
mariepastyglue 30
yep whoever was in charge of catering that wedding, should seriously be taken to court, not only for ruining what should be a once in a lifetime thing, but also because a lot of people could have gotten extremely sick!

It's not sushi, seafood that isn't prepared to be eaten raw, can and probably will make you very ill.

'Muricans will sue you if there are no instructions on what you can and can't do with anything. "open before eating", "do not refreeze", "don't put the cat in the microwave"... There is no such thing as common sense XD

34- ain't just 'muricans homeslizzice. Stupidity is everywhere. It saddens me to know how much access people have to information, even on a device right there in their hands, yet people have only gotten moronically dumber and no longer care to question. They get told something and go "oh okay" like sheep instead of going "why is that?" like someone with a brain. *facepalmheaddesk*

Actually, shrimp can be eaten raw - Prawn cocktail often has raw shrimp.
queenofirony 12
Nope, they can't and they don't. (1) Prawns and shrimp are not the same thing. (2) Shrimp and prawn cocktails are usually served COLD, but certainly not raw. If the shrimp you are looking at is pink, it it cooked. If it is clear/grey, it is raw.

I fail to see how this is OP fault

The confusing part is that in Australia, the thing you call a Shrimp is called a Prawn here. Lol.

Wow, that's terrible. Sorry OP. You deserve better anyways.
Wowxoxo 17
Maybe OP enjoyed the job? Even though food service managers are responsible for making the customer happy, they shouldn't be held accountable for customer stupidity.

It was a generic comment in order to try to get first comment.

Wait... Raw seafood gets people sick? And here I thought I was just allergic to gross food.
Wowxoxo 17
What's "gross" about seafood?
puffleprincess 7
I would think the "gross" part about seafood would be the "raw" part. Just my guess... (:
Wowxoxo 17
I understood that, I'm saying there's nothing gross about it. Granted, everybody is entitled to his or her opinion, but there is no need for the snide comments.

Sushi. Raw seafood doesn't make people sick, necessarily, they probably forgot to devein the shrimp.
monnanon 14
sashimi, the fish in sushi, is actually cured using a marinade. it is not the same as eating raw fish it is more like eating smoked fish such as salmon.
devilkazama 9
Actually you are wrong about this.
livewire1701 8
Sashimi is not marinaded. It's plain raw fish. If you had marinaded raw fish it was likely an ahi poke or something along those lines.

Sorry about that, you should try to explain that to your boss see if it works

What? it's cooked, the redness is just the special seafood sauce..

Shrimp is translucent/ grey when it's not cooked...pink would actually have been a good sign...

How in the hell did nobody at that wedding realize the shrimp was raw?
Treveyon56 14
Because they all were stupid and paid no attention.
thatsucks4you 7
What I thought too. Everyone at the wedding should know what a cooked shrimp should look like. Idiots!!
