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

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.

#50, this kid's dad shouldn't teach him that he's better than everyone else by not trying, which is what it sounds like. because a kid young enough to say that wouldn't know the kind of potential they have yet. so basiacally, this dad is saying to his kid "you're just naturally smart and don't have to try in life and you will start at the top" which is definately a lie. ughh.. people like that make me angry.

Don't feel bad. I worked at Hot Dog on a stick during high school and still do in the summer. I love it because the benefits are great (tuition reimbursement and stock ownership). That kid and his dad are just stuck-up bitches. Someone has to cook his food.

Well, you DO work at a hot dog chain. Not exactly what most kids have in mind for the career to aim for, you know?

My dad told me the same thing once. We were hanging out in a rec center, and two of the custodians went over to play pinball. My dad whispered to me, "You see them? That's why you go to college." I ended up dropping out after sophomore year.

Poor kid doesn't know when to keep his mouth closed... not so smart after all. At his age, I knew better.
