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?
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 like it better when girls work there more than guys.

That's total BS! I'm a woman gamer and I'd love to work at a video game store :)

The customer is always right!! If you don't realize that then you don't need to be in retail anyway

The customer is not right when they want management to do something that is discrimination. A woman can work in gaming. I've gotten plenty of good advice about systems and different games from woman. And now a days, the customer is almost always wrong. The store just wants their money, so they'll just nod and agree with them even if they are blatantly lying.

What if the customer demanded that all the black employees be fired too? Would you still think they're right about that?

Yeah,and I better majority of gamer customers would be totally down with a female employee there. Heck, most would probably prefer it.

Time to contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

That's just wrong. I've gone to GameStop looking for games and have helped others find some. I don't even work there either. Games belong to no gender nor does the knowledge of games.

Federal law says differently.

If the DM is stupid enough to fire you for this, file a law suit!

I believe this is illegal. First of all, you need to get this in writing. Write it down yourself. Then ask your DM to write down the fact that women shouldn't work in game stores, "in order for you to understand more clearly." All you have to do, really, is email him the question, and hopefully get back an answer, in writing, where he states that he doesn't think women should work at a video game store. Then you have it in writing. You can show it to the labor board, or something like that.
