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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

Well, if he was talking about it with his dad, that could mean that the kid had actually wanted to work there but his dad had other plans for him.

as long as you are only working there temporarily while in school, I would not worry about the comment. if the kid is really all that interested in serving people mystery flesh wrapped in pig intestines, tell him he should consider owning a hot dog business rather than merely working at one for minimum wage and making someone else rich. his dad might like the business ownership idea better :):)

well hes gotta be dumb 2 think tht only stupid ppl work at fast food places and stuff... and + most teenagers usually get low pay jobs at first and also just cuz his father says he smart doesnt mean he really is... even if he is smart tht doesnt guarantee he'll get a good job on his first try... seriously this kid must have been under the age of 10...

meh. your job probably pays more than mine and is probably more social than mine - i do a paper round and i get paid £5 (not sure what the US equivalent is) for the whole weekend. that's barely minimum wage here in England. so not only do you have a better job money wise, you're probably only in it to pay for university or college or something like that, so if the kid says something similar again say to him something like "Actually, i'm being very smart by working here, because i get money that i can use to pay for things i like :) "

So, the economy is rough and you are trapped in a shitty job? The little boy us just took a compliment too seriously.
