Today, in the fitting room at Old Navy, a customer asked me if we sold Calvin Klein jeans. I replied "no ma'am, this isn't a department store, we only sell Old Navy jeans." She left, and complained to my manager, who informed me that "the customer is always right." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went shopping for a new pair of jeans. I was feeling good about the fact that I was going down a waist size until the cashier decided to discuss with me, three co-workers, and the ten other people in line how she didn't even know jeans came in sizes that big. FML
Today, a customer said the pants she was buying rang up more than advertised. I quietly told her plus-sizes were not on sale. The customer yelled in front of a whole line of people, "So I'm fat and can't read! Any other insults you'd like to throw at me?" and stormed out of the store. FML
Today, a heavy set lady came to my boutique asking for our "largest" 28in size jeans. I decided to humor her by giving a 52 mislabeled as a 28. It fit perfectly! She happily bought it and left. Later, her mother, who is a Super Karen and twice her size, came to complain about me to the owner for bodyshaming her daughter. FML
Today, a customer yelled at me because we didn't have any laptops in stock. I work at a clothing store. FML
Today, I was in a department store with my three year old daughter to buy some new jeans. I took her into the dressing room with me and as I began to take off my pants she yells, "Mommy, you can't go peepee in here!!" I am no longer welcome in that particular store. FML
Today, a customer told me that there was no way he was paying for his shopping. He then walked off. As it turns out, the customer IS always right. FML
Today, while standing in line at the grocery store, I noticed that myself and the woman in front of me were wearing the same shirt. As she was about to leave, I said to her "Hey! I'm wearing that shirt!" She turned to me and replied, "Not in THIS size you aren't." FML
Today, I thought the cashier said the new blouse I picked out was ugly as she was ringing me up. I'm really self-conscious about my fashion sense, so I snapped and started yelling at her. It wasn't until she was close to tears did I find out she said "lovely" not "ugly". So, that's another store I can't go back to. FML
Today, I went shopping with a friend. She went to try some clothes on and came out to ask for my opinion. "Hell no! That shirt is awful!" She wanted to show me the pants. The shirt was hers. FML
Today, I went shopping with my grandma. Told her I saw a pretty dress I liked. She asked me who would fit in that? When I replied they have it in different sizes. She replied with, "Yeah but definitely not yours.". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Have a friend pose as a customer and give you a home made coupon that says "All the shit I want for free". They're the customer; they're right.

How can they be right when you don't carry that brand?? You can't sell what you don't have..... I so do not miss retail.

Or, in this case, the customer is not right, and is, in fact, retarded.

Omg customers can be so difficult some times. I work at Old Navy too, and I've had almost the same experience except they were asking for Levi's... and my manager told them that Gap sold them instead.

Your manager is RETARDED! No where near as dumb as the customer for complaining though. I hate when people whine about it being the EMPLOYEE's fault when it is something they have no control over.

Apparently you were supposed to cross out Old Navy with a sharpie and write "Calvin Klein" in kindergarten handwriting. And yeah, some people need deserve a condescending attitude.

This is the problem with stores that higher managers because they've been there a long time, not because they would make good managers.

The customer is NOT always right. They can be dead wrong sometimes. Tell your boss to **** off.
