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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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, I was shopping at my workplace, out of uniform, with my husband. A customer recognised me and wanted me to serve him, but I couldn't since we can be fired for doing so while off-duty. He complained to my manager, who wasted no time publicly bitching me out. FML
Today, a customer got angry with me, because store policy says we can't accept returns of unsealed video games unless there's actual damage to the disc. The guy got enraged and started yelling about how I'm a "useless fuckwhistle". I almost got written up for laughing so hard at the insult. FML
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
Today, a customer filed a complaint against me because my coworker took too long to do a price check. I hate my job. FML
Today, a man tried to rob the store I work at. Before the guy was taken by the cops, he complained to my manager for "unfriendly behavior". He took it seriously and bitched me out for not providing "quality service" to our customers. FML
Today, I was fired for "customer dissatisfaction." I work in IT and have never met one of my company's customers. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I spy a gender discrimination lawsuit!

Oh, sexism. Never ceases to amaze me. There was a dad at the school I used to work for who would call in and scream at all the women, and then tell the men that "he couldn't believe they could handle working with so many women". FYL indeed, OP.

I worked a a GameStop for 2 years and a few guys said the same thing. One time a over weight guy came in with his 3 lil monsters he called children (they ****** up all my work on the shelves). He went to one of the guys I worked with and said "this bitch has no idea what a Xbox game is or a Ps3 game is. Girls shouldn't work at video game shops. They only things women should do is cook and clean. " before my boss said anything he goes on to say "now tell that "girl" to clean up that mess" -.- he wasn't allowed back in the store and not was his kids.

Hopefully your DM only agreed to get rid of the annoying dick customer and actually doesn't think that. Have the store indicated that there is genuine danger of you losing your job? If not, then try not to worry too much. The only people who genuinely believe that the customer is always right are customers. Most store managers have seen enough of the public to know what assholes they are a lot of the time and don't take too much notice of frivolous complaints like this.

Wrongful termination! And gender discrimination of course. Take his ass to court!

i have the opposite discrimination in my hometown; most of the big stores where i live almost only ever hire women and minorities.

I'm gay, and I find it hot that a girl works at a video game store...

Just whisper "lawsuit" in the direction of HR and they'll be calling for the DM's head!

I love these comments about the girl in the video game store being a 'guys dream'...can we be honest, most girls have to justify their existence in geek culture if they don't have a **** star body. Which is very few of us. Cut the crap here please.

That sucks! Girls can have guy jobs and that's if there even is such a thing as a "guy job". Girls can game too. I play skyrim, WoW, borderlands 1&2, portal 1&2, GTA, Saints Row 3, Minecraft, Arkham city, & Arkham asylum
