Today, I got yelled at for not taking an order correctly at work. I've been washing dishes all day and haven't taken a single order. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was disciplined by my boss for "not smiling enough." I'm a dishwasher. FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, at work as a manager at pizza place, I got yelled by a customer because they got one fewer paper plates than they asked for. FML
Today, at work, 5 minutes after I'd sent my help home, we got an 83 dollar order. I'm the only cook. FML
Today, I started work at catering company. I was aware that I'd be cleaning dishes, but they forgot to warn me how many. Needless to say, after polishing 527 glasses, my hands hurt. FML
Today, I stayed until 11 PM washing, wiping, and mopping up the entire restaurant. I forgot to clock in. FML
Today, I had my first shift as a server at a restaurant after getting stuck behind an accident and arriving late, apologizing profusely. Apparently no one knew I'd been hired but I was still yelled at for tardiness. They then made me clean a fridge for 4 hours and paid me in pizza. FML
Today, after my man told me to get the dishes done and clean up the kitchen, he got mad at me because I didn’t answer my phone when our son needed medicine that was downstairs. I didn’t hear it ring because I was throwing out the trash, cleaning out the fridge, and washing the dishes, like I was told to do. FML
Today, at work, I got to wait on one of those tables where everyone had very complex orders, and some of them sent their food back. When the time finally came for me to bring them their check and receive my well-earned tip, I returned only to discover that they'd dined and dashed. FML
Today, I got yelled at in a grocery store by a customer who recognized me from the pizza place where I work. Apparently, I forgot mushrooms on her pizza earlier this afternoon. I had the day off, but thanks for the verbal lashing, lady. FML

"Alright, you can stop washing dishes now; you're on the cash register." "No." "Stop washing dishes." "NO!" "All the dishes are clean! Just STOP!" "NOOOOOOOO!"

Couldn't you have explained this? It's not right taking the blame for someone else. This person is not only affecting you, but potential customers. Talk to a manager and get things cleared up.

I don't know how many times I have taken the fall for someone else at work. Keep your head up. :)

is that supposed to be helpful?

Why are you complaining then? It's no one's fault but your own. You could have clarified your situation just as op could have.

Funny how you misspelled imbecile in a comment about someone else's idiocy.

And idiocy, which is even more amusing.

I'm thinking he's just trying to be ironic

This is why you don't work at McDonald's

When did OP ever say they worked at McDonald's? Even if OP does work there, what's wrong with it? At least they have a job

A job at McDonalds is probably more than anyone saying crap like that has ever had.

Nothing wrong with working at McDonald's. They also don't have a dishwasher, unless they started reusing plastic silverware and paper-cups.

There are still dishes that need to be done at McDonald's, just not enough to take all day.

Any apology from your boss after you explained the "been doing the washing up, haven't had customer interaction at all today" situation?

If you stood there and took it then you deserve it.

Or maybe they didn't want to take back because that could lead to them losing their job? Even if you think you did nothing wrong, then talk to management about it after.

For anyone who can't appreciate Tripartita's humor: He is interpreting the word "order" as a command from a superior. I find this hilarious by the way.

You, sir, always has the best FML comments. I say we give him the FML gold metal!

The manager who yelled at you isn't too good at their job if they can't keep track of who is doing what.
