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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

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.

but, if there were no women working at video game stores, I would have no one to flirt with whilst finding good games!

What?! Where is this man, I want to find him so i can smack him! Girls in video game stores are awesome, they are often more polite, and also: girls!

Sue them. They cannot fire you because you have a ******.

You can sue him for not only your job to be given back, but for violating women's rights and having your earned right for a job be taken away because of gender.

At my work they won't let me be in the electronics section because I am a girl and "girls can't be gamers." I feel your pain

Well, recently I sued my boss for firing me because "guys can't work at lingerie stores".
