Today, I went to pick up my paycheck at the convenience store I work at. While there, two frat boys came in and bought seventeen 30 packs of beer. That comes to about $300. They spent more at the store in one day than I get paid in two weeks. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I put my paycheck in my wallet, intending to cash it in the next day. Later on, I met up with a friend and went to a party. I ended up getting so drunk, I gave away my $400 check in exchange for a pack of smokes, thinking it was a $5 bill. FML
Today, I went to the grocery store with three bags full of sausages that I'd drunkenly bought the night before. Even though the manager remembered me, he wouldn't give me a refund, and now I'll be lucky if I can pay my rent this month. FML
Today, as he was going out, I asked my father if he stop by the store and buy some tampons for me and toilet paper for the house, because we have been out for the last 5 days. He came home with a 30-pack of beer and cigarettes instead. I just started my time of the month and we have no more money. FML
Today, while I was working in the liquor store, I was trying to impress my hot boss by lifting three cases of Grey goose. Turns out I can't, and I'll be working for the next two months of the rest of my summer paying it all back. FML
Today, I went out to eat with my friends. When the bill came, all three of them had "inconveniently" forgot their wallets at home. I ended up having to pay. It was a $178 check. FML
Today, my dad screamed at me because I've been "spending too much money". He's been out of a job for 4 months and I've been giving him 300 dollars a month to help pay for bills... and his beer. FML
Today, I went to the grocery store where I work to pick up my pay check. After I got it, I headed back to the dorms to take a quick nap before Chemistry later. I woke up, and my check was gone. I later found it. In the form of a text from my roommate saying he gambled away 'our' money. FML
Today, I was working at the local liquor store. An obviously drunk girl stumbles in, grabs two cases of beer and puts them on the counter. Then she grabs a pregnancy test, pees on it right there, shows me, and says, "I'm not pregnant, I want beer." FML
Today, for the third time this week, I had to clean up after someone who pissed themselves in the beer aisle at the grocery store where I work. FML
Today, when I went to the gas station to buy beer, some underage punk outside asked me to buy him booze. I told him to get bent, but the dumbass cashier had seen me talking to him, and refused to let me buy alcohol because, "This is obviously a sting." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Its really easy to make money if you're throwing a party. Watch this: $300 for 510 beers = $0.588 per beer. Average person at a party drinks about 5 beers or so, but for conservative estimates' sake, call it 6. That's $3.52 worth of beer per person at the party, which you can charge $5 at the door to get in. $5 - $3.52 = $1.48 profit per person, multiplied by 85 people at the party (510 beers / 6 beers per person), gives you a net income for the night of $125.80, and said party can be held 3 nights a week (Thursday - Saturday), giving you a weekly income of $377.40, which is higher than you make. Go to college, learn math, make friends, and you too can figure out how to make more than $300 per week.

Bro they were having a party or stocking up. I doubt that the money to buy that beer came from two dudes. If you get upset by the fact that people spend money to have a party, man I dunno what to say.

This isn't a FML at all. If you're that upset that your job is so shitty, go get a better one.

I was going to suggest that it was probably money from the frat house rather than their own personal stash. Dues to be in a frat usually run in the $1000s and that money goes to pay for socials, house upkeep/mortgage, etc.

Because then it would be like $500? And it probably wasn't just them buying it... Even if it was just the two paying for it, that's only $150 each... And it was probably for a party or something where a lot of people payed them.

well it was probably the fraternity's money, not out of their pocket. Should have asked when the party was and had some fun instead of bitching...

This - they're buying for the house, not just for themselves, and they're using the house's money. Get over it.

yea. They probably didnt split it between the the two of them. "ok ill pay 150 and u pay 150." you said frat boys right? at the party people chip in for beer. if 30 people came (a pretty good sized party) and they each chipped in only 10 bucks then it would all even. they probably got a few people in charge of getting the weed too. then they can sell it all at the party for profit....hm..thats a good idea. but have you people ever been to a party? whats with all the hate with people say "oh lets hope they get alcohol poisoning or choke on it" looks like some of you might have some personal issues you might need to deal with. just cuz people have fun doing things and you dont doesnt mean you have to hate them for it.

Hmmm dont know if I would declare this an FML but that is unfortunate nonetheless. Hopefully they drink themselves to death.
