Today, I opened my new clothing store. My only customer was my mom and the only reason she came in was to tell me that someone stole my sign. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, was my first day at my new job in a shop. 10 minutes after my first customer leaves I realize she managed to steal $200 worth of merchandise while she had me getting stuff for her from the back room. FML
Today, I caught and kicked a shoplifter out of my store. The shoplifter was my mom. FML
Today, I went to open my store but corporate had changed the locks without notice. The store's being sold. FML
Today, since it's company policy, I had to go to the back of my small store to retrieve an item for a customer, even though I was working by myself. I came back to find that since she couldn't get into the cash register, she found and stole my purse instead. FML
Today, someone came into the store I work at, laughed at my name on my name-tag, and left without even buying anything. FML
Today, I opened my own flower shop. My mom's response was, "Get a job." FML
Today, a would-be customer practically kicked my store door in, then got pissed and started throwing around insults after I told him that we were still closed, hence the closed sign. He claimed the sign was "confusing". FML
Today, my mom tried to get me to shoplift. From the dollar store. FML
Today, a woman and her daughter came into the store I work at. The girl placed a pair of underpants on the counter, and confessed she had stolen them earlier. Assuming she had already heard a lecture, I simply thanked her for bringing them back. Her mom yelled at me for not yelling at her. FML
Today, is the third day since I opened my small coffee shop. My parents had given me a nice frame to put my first dollar from working in. I had to sneak in a dollar from my own wallet so they wouldn't know how bad business was when they came to visit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

All new businesses start slow, I hope the best for your store. just keep a good attitude and this should work out. people will come and buy stuff if not only to talk with you.

I once opened a clothing shop with Britney Spears, we had to close because people kept complaining that we didn't sell underwear.

@Anyoniemous: If some online stranger is driving you crazy, that might be a sign to take a break and go for a nice walk in the park. Roast s'mores and sing Kumbaya or something. There's no need to be offensive.

I believe that one day nobody will be a useless prick and steal a freaking sign...

An optimist here.

Maybe they wanted to open their own clothing store. Maybe they had their sign stolen. Maybe that's why OP had no customers.

Not having a sign up explains why you didn't have any customers. Where's this store? I love grand openings!(:
