Today, I got screamed at to the point of tears by a Starbucks employee for "giving an obviously fake name" to confuse one of the employees. I told her my real name. My name is Ian. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while working in a customer service call center, a customer berated me for using a fake name. He said my name is "too stupid" to be real and that no sane person would ever use it. It was my real name. FML
Today, I worked up the courage to order coffee on my own instead of using the app. When the barista asked, “Name?” I froze and blurted out my email address. They called out my full name plus numbers and I had to claim it like that was normal. FML
Today, a customer at the bar I work at yelled at me for calling her "Ma'am." I asked what she'd prefer, and she gave me her name. When I called her by her name, she yelled at me for not calling her "Ma'am." FML
Today, I was addressed by name by the liquor store clerk. I've never told him my name. He's just seen my ID many times. FML
Today, my first day at the job, I went up to my coworker and began to ask her name. She cut me off and snapped, “I have a name.” FML
Today, a guy came into the small coffee shop I work at, and got angry because I wouldn't accept his Starbucks gift card as valid payment. When I told him we clearly aren't a Starbucks, he said "It's all the same shit" and ended up throwing a punch at me. FML
Today, I walked to Starbucks. On the way a homeless guy asked me for change and I lied and said I had no money. On my way back, Strawberry Frappuccino in hand, the same guy recognized me. He followed me for 3 blocks, swearing and yelling at me. FML
Today, at work, a customer came in and ordered a "Butterbeer Frappuccino." When I said we serve no such thing, she yelled at me for "lying" to her, saying she knew about our "secret menu." She ended up complaining to my manager and demanded that he fire me. FML
Today, I went to Starbucks to get coffee. The employees told me that there was no more coffee. I started cursing at them and told them that I am in a really big hurry, and that I need coffee every day. They had been yelling back the whole time. Little did I realize, they were saying April Fool's. FML
Today, while working as a cashier, a really cute guy came up and said, "Hi Morgan". I freaked out and asked him how he knew my name. He then replied, "You have a name tag". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't worry, they won't get far in life by insulting others.

My name is Rio and this exact thing happened to me, he looked at me and said said "You just made that up" we then argued for 20 minutes before I was asked to leave. Does he not know there's a city called Rio De je Niro??

My very first comment on here EVER gets modified and it did not violate anything I saw in the "our rules" link. Whatever; **** you, FML mods, and piss on your miserable site. Buh-bye. Run and moderate THAT, home-home-homeboy! :P

I know the feeling. I was born Jenaya. juh-nay-uh. In my adult life, I now go by Jen because no one seems to be able to say it, let alone spell it right. Sorry some people don't have brains. :/

This is funny. I was handed a cup that was labeled E.N. before.

If that's how they treat customers they won't be there very long anyway

As a Starbucks employee, I apologize for my coworkers behavior. That goes against all of the training we are put through. I promise not all of us are like that.

How in the hell did they think that was a fake or stupid name when there are people going around named stuff like Hashtag and poor goddamned North West.
