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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Next time just point them to the crazy pill aisle without telling them whats in it.

So now you know there's a market for something as crazy as that. But before you start designing prototypes and investing time bringing this to the market, you have to think 4th dimensionally... The great Steve Jobs didn't just get people to buy his overpriced products. He got them to buy the same overpriced product every year! Why make your money once, when you could make it annually? Now that's thinking like a boss!

Introducing the iPhone 4s. It's like the iPhone 4 except you can talk to it. Genius.

Yes, I believe Steve said something similar to that right before he ascended into the iCloud.

Throw a handful of seeds at that b*tch and tell her to STFU.

It would be worth it and funny

No. It wouldn't.

1. You deserved it for not being poliet enough to explain that your shop doesn't have it and your suppliers don't provide it, so that you are sorry, but you can to help her. This is advice from someone who worked in shop. 2. You SOOOO deserve it, for thinking that something doesn't exist just because you don't know about it. I just googled it and yes, you can find them online for about $35. She overreacted, I agree, but I would be pissed if some ignorant sales person would try to explain me that something I asked dosen't exist if I know it does. I would personally explain to them that it exist and that they are ignorants, but I wouldn't involve manager.

OP didnt say it flat out didn't exist, only that s/he didn't KNOW of its existance. Also, rudeness wasn't implied. Some customers are just phychos, no matter how polite you are.

You miss, sound like a complete and utter bitch. It's not ignorance if a sales person doesn't know if a product does or does not exist, if they don't sell it at their store why should they know about it.

Also, the word is not "poliet" it is polite. Before you jump someone's ass for being rude, please remember to spell things right.

@33 Yeah, I have great profile, don't I?
THE_A_TEEN 28
Poorjudgement, you sound like a asshole. You're one of those people who overanalize the fml, and find ways to blame the op. I worked at a restaurant weeks ago (i quit), I get shit from customers like this when a food product is not avaliable anymore. It's not the op's fault in anyway, you overanalized the fml and posted utter bullshite. *******...

Birds can't feel their feet, it's a freakin stupid idea.
TraceCase_ 19
45, birds are warm blooded. It's freakin stupid to think they couldn't benefit from heat they soak up from their feet. Lots of birds perch on one foot and draw the other close to their chest to keep warm.

Youre a moron. I hate people that complain over stupid stuff. People like you, who would ruin a persons day to prove that they're smarter.

23/88, your ignorant for not knowing the meaning of ignorant and having to look it up. Also your a moron for repeatedly commenting on one comment, especially when no one is paying attention to you. Meaning of moron: a person that does something over and over with no change in results.

KaySL, I will right after you hang yourself from your bridge.

KaySL, I'm not a third rate troll.... I'm a fifth rate worgen. OHHHHHHH!!!! WoW burn, ya troll!!!
JayJayAttackAtta 5
KaySL, there's one thing worse then a troll and it's a troll that uses texting language. Btw, how do you get Internet under that little bridge of yours?

I LOVE HOW YOU GET MAD AT HIM FOR NOT KNOWING IT EXISTED... BUT YOU HAD TO LOOK IT UP ON GOOGLE TO KNOW... HMM and I know that was in all caps. I just figured I was making a really good point.

33- What are you going to do about it? Write another comment that includes a long dictionary definition? Please do. Love, Kashmanwiggar

114, I love starting them, especially when people think they automatically win by calling people "******* idiot" or "turds in the gene pool" (btw I know I called someone a moron so no comment)

U should've said "i apologize, we don't have such product in the world of sanity. I recommend bird socks instead"
