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!

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 work at GameStop and our regional manager is a female so I bet she would jut LOVE our district manager to come up with something like that lol. Your DM is a moron.

I had a lot of customer's come in and complain that there were a lot of girls working in a sporting goods store. They would always demean mostly me, because I was there all the time by saying stupid shit like "girls don't know anything about this, where's all the men who actually know something?" Pissed me off to no end but one of my male managers finally overheard one of these assholes and told him off. In a kind, professional manner of course.

Don't sweat it. The customer just figured out that you're the girl that beat his ass three times in MW3. If it wasn't for you I,..., erm, I mean he would have won those games.

Not that I'm taking the side of the DM, but maybe he just said that to get the customer to shut up. In the wonderful world of retail, "the customer is always right," even if they're being a dickish ass hole. I honestly think if your DM had a problem with a girl working in his store, it would have come up long before a customer said anything about it.

What an arse, pretty sure I actually know more hardcore female gamers than I do males. This is about the customer that is as for the DM I agree with lelo007 could be a case of agreeing to get someone off their back but not actually doing anything about it, but if something does happen and you are fired for being a woman then your DM is an arse too.

If she's fired just because she's female, that's discrimination and wrongful termination.

If you would have stayed in the kitchen then you wouldn't have a problem

But then they'd have to teach the boys all about the newest Barbie game!

This is soo wrong. One of the best employees I ever worked with at play-n-trade was a female. Wish more people had her work ethic.
