Today, I got yelled at by my boss for being insensitive to a customer. I'd told her I never heard of the requested item even existing. She walked off shouting, screaming and throwing stuff from the shelf. She wanted to order a bird feeder with heated perches so the bird's feet won't get cold. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss came around to my way of thinking. He called our customers a "bunch of assholes" and to kick them out if they gave me trouble. When a lady began yelling at me for "setting the damn prices too high" I told her to leave. My boss soon bitched me out for being unprofessional. FML
Today, my manager cussed me out for being unable to keep a customer happy. That "customer" was a senile old twit who had wandered away from his carer, thought our shop was his living room, and demanded to know who replaced all his furniture. FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, I was called an 'unhelpful little bitch' by a customer, after I informed her that we couldn't order a pair of shoes she wanted from the company in her size because it's a discontinued model. This little tirade continued for another few minutes, with her insulting me and my intelligence. 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, while at work, a customer refused to speak louder, despite me asking her to do it several times. As a result, I took her order incorrectly. The customer then finally decided to raise her voice, but only to yell at me about my poor listening skills. FML
Today, I was at work and a lady screamed at my manager for about 15 minutes, saying I needed to be fired because I couldn't get rid of all the flies buzzing around her food. She was the one who chose to eat on our patio. 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, 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, my boss bitched me out on the sales floor for a good 10 minutes, because I wasn't "smiling the right way" for our customers. FML

Little late for a patent. Quite a few companies make them for colder climates to encourage the birds to use them. Op looks like an imbecile to my fellow Canadians, even Walmart sells them here, a clerk at a pet shop is supposed to be at least a little informed on pet related products.

Op was probably thinking about a bird feeder for wild birds, not pet birds.

Sorry if we look like idiots thedrifter, but in the USA, at least where op lives (i live in the same area) bird feeders like that aren't common. I've never heard of that or even thought of it. We aren't big on birds over here. Even in our super walmarts I barely see bird items.

Don't know where my comment went... I live in the States and I see them rather frequently at Walmart, Petco, Petsmart, Agway...

#59, some of us don't live in areas where products like that are common. Where I live in Texas, there are barely any basic bird supplies, much less any 'fancier' products. Just because something is common to you, doesn't mean it's common to everybody.

OP wasn't hired to think. (s)he is hired to be knowledgeable in the field and to provide good customer service. The least OP could have done is to ask other staff about it.

Isn't that how you're supposed to handle all situations like that these days?

She's American. Tell her you have little kabbalah ankle threads for the birds. The keep their feet warm through ancient mystical forces, ward off cats and will ensure all their eggs are fertile. Only $24.99 for a pack of 10. Recent breakthrough in kabbalah technology by chiropractors means that they now come in other colours that just red (suck on that Madonna!). Then go out back, pull a few loose threads off your jeans and whack them in a plastic bag.

Dude, today I went to the store to buy a heated purch bird feeder, and the douche behind the counter was so insensitive! He didn't know what the hell I was taking about... ;)

Ask him to get it for her as you feel there are too many bad feelings between you and the customer now. Make sure he chases after her.
RussianFox 13
That was so terribly worded I could barely make out what you were trying to say.

This idiot girl post on almost every FML and gets negatived on every comment she makes. Someone tell this chic to get a clue.
