Today, I was at work at a local hot dog chain. A child (about 10, who I've seen there before) came in to order food for his Dad. He orders very excitedly, and I told him he'd be a great worker here when he gets older. He said "oh no, my Dad says I'm too smart to work in a place like this." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to go to my 10 year-old son's school to talk about my job being a chef. As I was almost finished, I asked the kids "What would you like to do when you grow up?" Without hesitation one kid replied with a straight face, "Anything but being a douchebag like you." FML
Today, I gave my son a job as a shelf stacker in one of my stores. He is in his thirties and is so dumb that he has been fired from every other job for incompetence. I don’t want him to starve or lose his flat, but I also couldn’t give him an important job in case he screwed it up. FML
Today, at my job as a cashier, a man and his 3-year old son got in line. The father said, "Give this to the pretty lady," looking at me. The kid looks at me, looks at his dad, and walks over to the next cashier. FML
Today, I was supposed to train a new hire, grateful to finally have someone else here with me on my shift. He didn't show up. I found out later that his mother didn't want him working here because she thinks he's too smart for this job. I found him working at the McDonald's a few blocks away. We pay more than they do. FML
Today, I was at the fish store asking if they were hiring. My stepdad decided to humiliate me by screaming at them repeatedly that I'm a good person and that I deserve the job. FML
Today, my 17-year-old employee accidentally called me "Dad". We all got a good laugh from it and went on with our days. Later, after getting her some coins for her cash drawer, she playfully said, "Thanks, Daddy." The customer she was serving? My wife. FML
Today, my son is an idiot, but I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt by giving him a job as a cashier in one of my stores. Within half an hour, I was sent security footage from that store's manager showing my son on his phone, ignoring customers, picking his nose, and stealing money from the till. FML
Today, I was working at the daycare. As I left with my boyfriend, a kid came up to us and said that my boyfriend could do way better. FML
Today, I made a positive remark to the owner of my local groceries store for employing a special needs girl. Not only is the girl not mentally handicapped, she's also the owner's daughter. FML
Today while at my job as a store clerk, I walked by a family. I smiled at their little boy, who responded by flipping me off. As I was walking away, I looked back in time to catch his dad give him a high-five. FML

LAWL. Love these fast-food ones. Someone's gotta work at 'em. I used to, to pay for college.

Haha, that kid sure told YOU! Don't feel bad though, a job is a job. Too many people don't even have a job.

"Today, a guy working at a hot dog chain told me I'd be a great worker there when I grow up. FML." Seriously, you are a moron for telling that to a 10-year old kid. YDI

Agreed with #23, but also: when the kid is 16 and working at McDonald's, the last laugh will be yours.

Too bad yuo can't put the little brat to work. It really sucks that his dad is teaching him that that attidude is OK. Sadly, when he gets a job like that, he'll probably be one of those types tha t'knows his rights' and gets away with whatever he wants. Wouldn't it be great to 'accidentally' drop a weight on his head?

I have an unpaid internship right now - great experience, but I can barely afford the mass transportation fare. As a result, I'm a nineteen-year-old taking a job at a fast food restaurant over the summer. Think about it this way, you're making more money than 9% of the United States right now.

I work at Arby's part time and am the student associate of the finance department at a big business --- a lot of people at Arby's are a hell of a lot smarter than those that work in the office.

Sounds like the kid/dad were right.
