Today, I'm no longer allowed to work the drive-thru at my job, because over the weekend, 3 dumbasses I go to school with came in and complained to my manager, saying I sounded a creepy pervert and that it scared them enough to take their business elsewhere. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I realized I might lose my job because some asshole customer complained about me to my district manager. His complaint? Girls can't work at video game stores. My DM agreed. FML
Today, I got threatened with a gun at the drive-thru, all because my coworker forgot to include extra fries in the guy's order. FML
Today, I was taking people's orders at the drive-thru. I was confused as to why people were screaming their orders at me, until one of my managers handed me a paper that he'd found taped to the menu, saying "speak loudly speaker isn't working properly." Punkd. FML
Today, I was fired from the trucking company I work for, due to numerous complaints about my reckless driving. I don't even do driving work there, but my ex keeps calling in to report me, and my boss wanted the calls to stop. FML
Today, at work, I overheard two of my coworkers talking about how "creepy" and "ugly" I am, and that I look like I'd be the kind of guy to sneak into someone's house and "have my way" with them. Boy, did that sure help with my self-esteem issues. I'm going to go and report them, but still. FML
Today, I was told by a former coworker that my former boss still talks about me being lazy, ever since the time I refused to do a few things on third shift when there was me and 2 other people working. I haven't worked there in 3 months. FML
Today, at work, a table of girls complained to the manager about me. The complaint? "He's not hot enough to work here. We want a sexy server." The manager agreed with them and sent me home. I might lose my job because of a table of shallow women. FML
Today, two customers complained about the shitty service they received from my coworkers. I apologized and asked about the complaint. Their issues were legitimate and I promised to pass them on. They demanded to speak to my manager and my coworkers got in trouble. Now they think I'm a snitch. FML
Today, we had customer complaints of a child molester hanging around our restaurant. After confrontation by a manager, he wouldn't leave. I had to be walked to my car after my shift by more than one person because I look 12 and they were afraid for me. I'm almost 19. FML
Today, I told a customer at the drive-thru I couldn't hear him as he had his music blaring too loud. The customer then drove to the window and verbally abused me for listening to my iPod at work. My "iPod" is the headset we use to take orders at the drive-thru. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Visit their houses and workplaces and really make them feel creeped out. Your voice is a blessing in disguise

I feel your pain.

YDI for not changing your voice.

Does nobody understand this sarcasm? I personally thought it was hilarious.

Same here. I giggled a lot.

that something dwight k. schrute would do
christinamarie17 29
No, Dwight would make the comment/complaint. Jim would follow Dwight around after.

And it's a bad thing to not work the drive-thru window how?
Morning_fml 22
It's not, it's just that OP was wrongfully accused by a bunch of teenagers and his own manager believed their word over his without a proper confirmation. Loyalty ain't a thing these days.
ThatHorse 15
That's true #24 but these days it's "the customer is always right, even when they're killing you" attitude that causes stuff like this to happen. Honestly OP could have just as easily been fired over this.

Having worked in McDonalds, drive through window 1 is one of the best places to work in the store. All you have to do is take someone's order, and their cash when they pay. Nothing else. Only real issue is that it's cold, and you get the occasional spate of abuse from customers.

#39 "occasional abuse"? you must have worked at a much better mcdonalds than I do..

I'd get legal advice to see if he can really do that? I'm sure that'd fall in some sort of the many discriminations that exist today.
socialproduct 19
Discrimination against perverts?

I think this is bullying and surely the sound of someone's voice, based on the word of another person, is not a valid reason to fire someone
aeryn97 17
it'd fall under libel. slanderous accusations. it'd stick too since it's affected OP'S income

Well, this is a sign to stop hitting on people in the drive-thru.

Do you sound like that? If not, how rude of them!
TheGreatPotato 19
It's still rude either way.

It seems to me that they did you a favor. No one actually wants to work the drive through window do they?

Sometimes it can be the most fun job at fast food place. Really makes the time fly too, which is good.

the drive thru was made by the devil. it has some benefits. but I can't begin to explain my level of frustration when people are being rude, or complete dumbasses. I cannot stand when someone sits there and says "uhh" or "umm" every other freaking word.
MagnusDeus 24
Haha it sounds like you need patience training. I enjoyed when people took their time, because it would allow me to catch up on orders. "Give me a sec" was my favorite thing to hear.

I work at McDonald's and can't stand it. I prefer being back in the kitchen. That way I don't have to deal with any rude customers.
ninjamadi 16
Hell if that's all it took to make my manager take me off drive thru I'd do it. I swear people are 10 times more rude, stupid and just awful to deal with in the drive thru. the only good thing is when I'm not talking to them I can curse them under my breath.
Morning_fml 22
Yeaaaaah...can't wait for the day you realize that there are going to be assholes no matter where you work. You're in for a real treat!
ninjamadi 16
I'm aware of that. but from experience of working both the inside register and the drive thru, I'd pick inside any day. because of my previous statement. thanks bye
