Today, I had a formal complaint filed against me for being outrageously rude to a customer. All I did was tell a customer that she couldn't use food stamps at the movie theater. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, we had an extremely rude customer who started cussing at us, and my coworker started cussing back. I jumped on the register to quickly bring down the line, and apologized to everyone for the scene. A secret shopper was in the line and claimed that I was rude. I got written up. FML
Today, I was verbally harassed by a customer because I wouldn’t give her special treatment after her meal was incorrect. I offered her a refund and a coupon for a free meal, which she refused before calling me a stupid kid who wouldn’t do anything to help her. FML
Today, a customer filed a formal complaint with corporate about me, because I wouldn't help her find things she wanted while I was off the clock. We were in a completely different store than the one where I actually work. FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, at my cashier job, I got written up for accepting obviously photocopied coupons. Last week, I got written up for "inadequate customer service" because I refused to accept the same bogus coupons from the same customer. FML
Today, I got yelled at by a customer for refusing to give a found credit card to a woman it didn't belong to. FML
Today, I was scheduled to fill in at the customer service counter where I work. Today was also the day that I allegedly accused a customer of being a thief, sold her a fraudulent money order, and will be sued for defamation of character. FML
Today, my boss showed me a two-page letter from a customer, complaining about me because I couldn't honor a coupon that expired in 2009. He agreed that I did the right thing by refusing it, but said it would be a black mark on my record anyway due to the complaint. FML
Today, at my job as a movie theater attendant, my boss finally eased up and let me sit in on one of the movies. One woman kept laughing out loud every other line. After ten minutes of her braying like a dying horse, I got up and had her ejected from the theater. I'm a terrible person. FML
Today, I found a curly hair in my fries at a restaurant. It was disgusting, so I screamed at my waiter. To my surprise, they kicked me out of the restaurant for, "making a scene". They wouldn’t even replace my fries. When did the customer stop being right? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Popcorn, Diet Coke, Twizzlers, and Goobers ARE food. But not Raisinettes. **** you, Raisinettes.

Let's just hope the manager knows that you can use food stamps either.

#30- Generally, managers know how to manage what they manage :P I think s/he would know that you can't use food stamps at a theater.
timelessone 16
I meant to spell can't earlier my bad. Generally half the manager's I've known don't know their head from their ass.

Maybe the OPs manager is like the one in a previous FML and he'll get fired for doing his job right?
Bcfrmkc816 17
Most managers at places like that don't have a clue how to manage anything.

Wow, stupidity reigns supreme. Unbelievable.

It's crazy, isn't it? I work at a movie theater and oh man, some of the people that come in there... Well, you just have to wonder how they even function in society, honestly.

I used to work at Pizza Hut and it's unbelievable how rude some of the customers are. I had a lady storm in and immediately start screaming, cussing me out and told me to go to hell because we messed up her order of egg rolls. Turns out she thought she was in a Chinese restaurant.

I find relief in the fact that the inventor of those will burn in hell. For his/her deceiving evil "treats."

The client is always right.

But Raisinettes are awesome..

Dark chocolate Raisinettes are health food! Raisins are fruit and dark chocolate is good for you (I know, in moderation).

WELL HOW RUDE! Popcorn is food too!! And the movies always has the best popcorn!

It's not like Op had the authority to forbid the use of food stamps at a movie theater, Op was just following the rules...

If they need to use food stamps, maybe he/she shouldn't be spending $10+ on movie tickets in the first place.
fdupagain 11
Yeah BC people on food stamps can only go to work, or look for work, and go home and eat ramen, macaroni and cheese, and tuna fish sandwiches. How dare they get out once in a while, or buy steak once a month. And no oreos or fruit snack for the kids.
mrsVoltzie57 12
That isn't what they are saying...what everyone else (myself included) is saying is that people shouldn't expect their food stamps to work at the movies. They are food stamps not movie stamps. If you have a little extra cash from work and want to go to the movies go for it but don't expect the government to pay for your ticket.

As Shanny said, all you have to do is explain it to management and they should be able to take care of it. If not, then management is obviously failing at their job. This shouldn't be an FML.

The government should set up a food-stamp-to-dollar converter
jubskant101 4
But that's the point of food stamps so they HAVE to spend it on food and other necessities not going to the movies

Just last week a lady tried to convince me that I'd save money. I buy food with govs money (food stamp) and save my own. All I had to do was exchange some "talcum powder" for them...

*facepalm* I have a feeling that you'll be learning about food stamps very soon.
